Russian Squat Program Generator

You can use this program generator to help design your squatting or pressing (i.e., strength exercises) workout routines. The resulting exercise program is intended to increase strength, not mass. It also should not be used as your only squatting program over an extended period of time, it is intended as a means of inserting some variation into your programming and should not be used as a program mainstay.

Directions:

Step 1.   Simply type in your current 1-repetition maximum into the space below, then click on the "generate program" button.
