about the back squat volume builder program

The function of the squat is intended to build awareness, comfort, and strength in one of the most beneficial movements an athlete can perform with the barbell. All squat programs are geared toward the individual through customized mobility and strength assessments. The skill level determines the intensity level of each workout, so the proper volume and intensity is met.

Don't take our word for it

I added 10ks to my initial 3 tempo rep max, going from 120 to 130kg! Can't wait to see the plans you'll release later this year!

Superb quality - I love both the programming and the app. Each movement within a program has clear video demo and step by step breakdown which allows me to monitor my execution. The app makes for efficient use of time and perfect for anyone who wants to move better.
