New Benchmark Squat Program - 5, 4, 3

The idea is to improve power, versatility, and functional strength by rounding-out and maximizing your squat variations. The end goals is 5, 4, 3:

Back squat 500
Front squat 400
Overhead squat 300

I've been working on this for about 3 or 4 months, and as of today I'm two down, one to go (overhead is still around 265 or so). A couple things I've noticed are that even though I've been neglecting other parts of my body and focusing heavily here, I've got more core strength, shoulder and arm strength, and upper back strength than I did before when I didn't neglect those areas. I did a strict press with 220 lbs a while back, and I haven't been pressing AT ALL for a long, long time now. I've noticed similar development in my core. Broke my 2-year-old deadlift record recently too, after months of ZERO dead lift.

Squatting really is the alpha and omega of functional fitness. It's that simple.
