I used to do to that but can't anymore. Too much lordotic flexion when I do and it messes my back up for days.

I only go that low on de-load days myself.

I've always squatted 3x per week.
narrow, olympic-style stance.
high bar. sits right on top of my traps.
pinkies about an inch inside the rings.
always atg unless a certain minor injury prevents me from going down those last 2 inches, which is my current situation. I'll be going back to atg soon though.
Don't really have a breakthrough technique tbh. The only times my squat has ever not been steadily increasing has been when I've had back injuries. I never seem to have problems increasing it when healthy though. Hoping to get 600 by the end of the year
edit - i squat in nike romaleos also

Thanks. I'd be thrilled to acheive that goal and I think it's doable too. Interesting that the link has them titled as powerlifting shoes. I guess that's just to help them sell better, cause they were made for olympic lifting, which is probably less popular.
So do you guys who squat 3-4-5x a week deadlift? If so i would really like to know how you're doing it. Heavy squat and deadlift in the same week for me is pushing it. I can maybe pull it off for 2 weeks then have to go light on one or the other for the 3rd week. If i do a set of 5 at 85% 1rm on squat i am lucky to be able to do the same thing on deadlift within the same week.

I'm young and use performance enhancing substances to aid in recovery. But it's just how my programming is what works for me probably won't work for most

I squat once a week, usually on a Thursday. With dead-lifts on Monday, my back feels ready. I cant imagine how to dead-lift heavy and squat more than once a week, I need a few days recovery between both. I usually end up with a lot of sets, If i could figure how to warm up faster and do less, multiple times may work
I work my way up to heavy going parallel. then on my down sets I do a bunch of ATG and pause sets. I keep the bar high with my hands pretty far apart, It actully takes a few sets to work my shoulder to get my hands close

I'm currently only squatting and deadlifting 2x/week each for the Sheiko program. Normally I'd be squatting 3x with deadlift 2x. I'm in my early going on mid 30's right now. Low frequency never really worked well for me.
