to be honest the past month ive been only squatting about once a week. I guess it takes about 4-5days for me to recover.. and one of the weeks my legs were really tight and wouldnt loosen up so i gave myself longer rest and did stretching
Going to do more stretching should help

Yes i try to add 5lbs every workout on squats thats how i got to 240lbs

Im aiming for 250lbs 1rep now



Louie69:
For example:
Day 1: Heavy work up to sets of 3
Day 2: Light/recovery work up to sets of 7-10 around 50-60%
Day 3: Med work up to sets of 5-8

Thats alot of squat sets a week, enough rest time? I will try this out this week. Its tuesday now and my legs still sore from last week fridays leg workout(4days rest).. I will try this tomorrow night.
This day 1 2 3 workout. Am i suppose to do this all in 1 week?
For Day 1 Heavy, do i just do 2 warmup light sets then jump straight in to 3 sets of ? ~200lbs. Then also try to do my 1rep max?

For day 2 this should be ok

Day 3, 5-8 sets medium weight seems like alot, dont think i can recover fast enough for my Day1 heavy again?
