Default Re: Squat Plateau

How many times have you reset the squat? After one reset, I recommend moving to "the gym" variation of Starting Strength once you've worked back up to your old max.

You can read about it on the bb forums. Basically its doing deadlifts only once a week and doing front squats (or light back squats) on that day instead of heavy back squats. On non-deadlifting days you do either pullups or pendlay rows, or you can alternate.

Once you plateau on that, do another reset. I don't think microplates are an issue, and I doubt that you've milked SS for all it's worth yet. Two squat resets, or three plateaus, is the formula.
