Quick Introduction
If
youre
like
me,
you
love
training
and
getting
after
it
in
the
gym.
Over
the
years,
Ive
come
up
with
some
pretty
crazy
and
intense
workouts,
but
nothing
has
matched
the
Death
Squats
series.
The
Death
Squats
workouts
have
been
done
personally
by
me
and
the
guys
that
have
trained
with
me
over
the
years.
I
have
made
it
through
them
and
I
know
you
can
too.
I
wish
you
all
of
the
best
in
your
training
and
I
hope
you
enjoy
the
Death
Squat
workouts.

DEATH
SQUATS
Workout
#1:
Add
Weight
Every
5
Sets
In
this
first
variation,
you
will
pick
a
starting
weight
that
is
conservative.
As
with
every
Death
Squat
workout,
make
sure
you
record
the
weights
you
use
so
each
time
you
go
through
the
routine,
it
utilizes
percentages
of
your
rep
max
that
is
specific
to
your
current
strength
levels.
For
workout
#1,
you
will
perform
210
reps
of
squats
in
20
sets
in
the
shortest
time
possible.
After
you
pick
your
starting
weight,
you
will
go
through
the
routine
and
add
weight
to
the
bar
every
5
sets.
Here
is
how
it
works,
and
I
will
put
in
the
weights
I
used
for
each
set
in
"[]"
so
you
can
see
what
Ive
done
in
my
most
recent
run
through
this
variation.
Special
Notes:
Add
weight
every
5
sets
Take
as
little
time
between
sets
as
possible.
We
cycle
between
different
variations
of
squats;
box
squats,
squats
to
a
box,
back
squats,
front
squats,
giant
camber
bar
squats,
safety
squat
bar
squats.

#2:
Add
Weight
Every
Set
In
the
second
variation,
you
will
be
adding
weight
to
every
set
and
cutting
the
total
number
of
sets
in
half.
This
is
one
of
my
favorite
variations
because
as
the
reps
go
down
for
each
set,
you
continue
adding
weight
and
end
up
with
some
pretty
heavy
sets
on
the
last
couple
of
sets.

#3:
Same
Weight
With
Increasing
Rest
Periods
In
the
third
variation,
the
intensity
goes
through
the
roof.
The
sophistication
in
the
program
is
that
fact
as
fatigue
sets
in
and
the
reps
increase,
the
rest
periods
increase.
Unfortunately,
you
will
always
be
operating
at
a
deficit
for
your
next
set,
so
you
will
never
be
fully
recovered.
BE
WARNED!
This
is
one
of
the
absolutely
most
brutal
variations
in
the
arsenal.
Make
sure
you
have
a
spotter
and
youre
ready
to
go
deep.
