I know! I have squatted more, much more, in the past 3 weeks than I thought I could actually do. If anything, this program has taught me that I haven't really been working that hard at all, all this time (prior to this program) - this is hard work.
No that would be a great squat wouldn't it? Unfortunately, I weigh more than that - around 225-228 these days (I'm about 6'0 tall). I really wanted to get 2X bodyweight during the base phase but unfortunately I didn't get it. I expect it will come at the end of Intense Phase.
I have always just warmed up with the bar, and then gradually ramped up the weights when squatting, but that really isn't feasible with this program because my hips got so damn tight after so much squatting
I have mostly been doing static stretches prior to squatting during this program - quads, hips, hamstrings, etc. After the workouts and whenever I think about it, I foam roll my glutes, hips, quads, etc.
