Squatting 5x-6x / Week

pat mendes does not have experience squatting 6x/week natural.

Why the fuck would anyone need to squat 6x a week? I feel like your knees and IT bands would be destroyed.

he got about 80 kilos on his BS in 11 months, means about 7 kilos per month, about 1,8 kg per week. You dont really need a crazy squat-errday program to achieve this.

Tried squatting every day myself, my hip flexors were inflamed after a while, although strength gains were there.
If your body allows you, to do this, without gradually getting fucked up, no reason not to.

Actually I didn't think about it like that. Thats a good point.

cont.

The chance of your body not being able to handle the continous stress is quite high though.

Work up to a daily double/triple/single (as heavy as possible, without compromising form, or if you want to go easy on that day: speed of the rep)

Do this for a few weeks, until your body adapts to this kind of training. No need for backoffsets, yet. Starting out, you will feel like shit, and not wanting to lift, just by maxing out every day.

Once you have adapted, you can start incorporating backoffsets, like triples at 80% of your daily max, or singles at the max weight, in case you set yourself the speed restriction. Just to name a few options.

don't want to make a thread for this question so ill ask it here,

should you be doing paused squats when you can only squat 200? same goes with power snatches, should you have a certain amount of strength?

>Anyone have any experience squatting 6x week and natural?

Yes. I've done squatting and pressing up to 7x per week for months in succession.

It's not sustainable year round, but it's not supposed to be.

Blocks of high frequency are great for getting strong quick. Also, each session is short, so you can be in and out fast.

High frequency took my squat from 510 to 550 the first time, then to 570 the second time I ran it (bw 214).

If you adapt to it gradually, it's a fun way to train. Do it after a traditional volume base, and try "peaking" for a meet after a month or two.

I did it for 1 week with 100kg. I started only being able to do 3 reps and ended with 10 reps as my PR. However, I got lower back pain the next week. This may have been due to improper overhead press form though since I also did OHP every day.

Doesn't based Clarence back squat every single day, despite fucked up knees?

don't think he's natty tho

As far as I know John Broz' lifters have been tested positive several times.

I've tried Nuckol's approach. It killed my joints. Probably just me having shit technique though.

I recommend Dan John and Pavel's approach "Even Easier Strength" if you want to try out some high frequency lifting. It has worked well for me in the past.
