Keep squatting 100kg for 3 - 6 months

[Fluidic Kimbo]

I suppose I want my body to get better at taking the strain of 100kg. It's not my leg muscles that are sore the next day, it's mostly my lower back and the top of my ass, also my shoulders a little bit.

So in keeping the weight at 100kg, I'm letting the rest of my body catch up with my quads.

If your back hurts from squatting then your form is off.

Here's the video I took at the gym 8 days ago:

Do you deadlift? If not, or even if so, you might try seated good mornings. I find them a great assistance exercise for squats and deads. Just keep the form tight and the weight light to start with.

Yeah I do deadlifts on Wednesday which is Back Day. Squats are on Sunday which is Leg Day.
I haven't heard of 'seated good mornings' before but I'll look them up now.

Or you have an issue like compressed spine or spur (having the latter removed this year)

This will improve from your workout structure. Sets of 20 is the gold standard. If you can do 100kg then what i would do (off cycle) is ...

Drop to 145 and work to get a set of 20 . You might start at 8 and add 2 reps each workout until you get a set of 20.
Now move to 3 sets of 20 for your workout M and Friday
Bump by 5 pounds weekly.
15 weeks and you will be doing 3x20x100kg
Use a belt

You need reps. This will get you there.

Does anyone else agree that this is a good tactic to improve my squat?
