From the Walls of ICON Performance…How to Squat 1000 lb Routine – 24 Week Program

** This is obviously a very advanced squat program for elite level squatters only. This routine is the one that was derived by through a combination of several training protocols. I squatted 1038 about four years ago with this EXACT same routine. (I am referring to a gym lift which was not contest legal, but close). I am posting this routine so that I can get feedback from other squatters and learn from their insight and experience with similar routines.
