Squat PR challenge this month - add 10kg in 4 weeks, who's joining?
Monthly challenge: add 10kg to your squat in 4 weeks. Aggressive but doable if you're not already maxed out. Post your current working/max squat, train it 2x a week, retest end of month. I'm starting at 140kg, chasing 150. In?

In - starting at 100kg, going for 110. 10kg in a month is steep but with twice-weekly squatting and eating properly it's on. Love a target.

Joining at 160kg -> 170 goal. Quick coaching note for everyone: 10kg in 4 weeks usually comes from technique + frequency, not just grinding heavier. Tighten your setup and squat twice a week and the PR appears.

Good shout - frequency and form, not just adding plates and praying.

In. 120 -> 130. I've been squatting once a week so just adding a second day might get me most of the way there alone.

That second day will do a lot on its own - frequency is the most underused progression lever. Logged you in.

Newer lifter here, in at 70 -> 80. Still in my linear-gains phase so this might actually be easy mode for me. Riding the noob gains while they last.

Use those noob gains, they don't come back. Starting board: me 140, StrengthGeek 100, SquatSensei 160, IronWarrior 120, GymNoob 70. Retest in 4 weeks, no excuses.
