Exercises

• squat · barbell · single at 247.5 kg, triple at 230.5 kg, triple at 222.5 kg
• incline bench press · barbell · single at 150 kg, triple at 137.5 kg, triple at 130 kg
• deadlift · barbell · single at 365 kg, set of 5 at 337.5 kg
• bench press with ram · barbell · single at 207.5 kg, triple at 197.5 kg, triple at 187.5 kg
• chest supported row · machine

What it concludes

• To address tipping forward during heavy squats, you should focus on keeping knees forward and back tight in competition movements, regularly expose yourself to 90 to 92 percent singles, use accessory movements like pause squats and pin squats at 75 to 85 percent intensity to fix movement pattern faults, and program supplemental movements targeting quad and upper back muscle groups.
• Targeting quad-focused work like leg presses, front squats, lunges, and step-ups helps build quad strength, while heavy compound rows, bent-over rows, lever rows, and pendulum rows help maintain upper back position during squats and deadlifts.
