NOTES: 'We are giving a bigger range on these squats for % since some experienced lifters cannot progress as aggressively as those who have not done as many pure squat strength cycles. Regardless, your goal should be to progress in % of the lift ~3-4% each week. So if you start on the bottom end of the % in week 1, you probably want to stay there for the next weeks with each bump. If you start at the top end, be ready for really aggressive loads later in the cycle and try to progress the same 3-4% bumps each week.
