How to approach Squat Base

Squat Base loads the quads, glutes, hamstrings and core hardest. Lower back and upper back take a share of the work too. Treat it as a strength session: build through progressively heavier singles, rest properly between attempts, and only chase the top end once the pattern is sharp.

Squat Base is scored on load: your heaviest successful lift is the number that ranks.
