Super Squats - Randall J. Strossen, PHD

Program Description

Read "Super Squats" by Randall J. Strossen, PHD for context. My summary: Do your 10 rep max on squats, for 20 reps. Achieve this by resting at the top, taking deep breaths - do it "for the difficult". Drink a gallon of milk a day. Extract: We can sum up the essentials very quickly. Squats and milk. That's the gist of it. Heavy squats and lots of milk and never mind if the principle is twenty years old. If you're in doubt, let me tell you this. I get scores of letters from lifters around the country who've tried the squats and milk program. They all say the same thing. They gained more weight in a month on the squats and milk than they had in a year or more on other types of pro- grams. Gains of twenty to thirty pounds in a month are not uncommon. If you don't gain at least ten pounds a month you're doing something wrong. (McCallum, 1968b, p. 13)
