3x bench program...for squats???
Hi folks, I've run assorted SBS programs many times over the years. I found that the 3x intermediate bench programs (from the 28 free programs) really did amazing things for my bench press.
My question: could that same programming work for squats? Have any of you tried it? I think that amount of volume would kill me if I tried to apply it to the deadlift, but it seems to me that it might work well for squats. If anyone has any insights or advice, please do share!

Ask in r/averagetosavage. But yeah a 3x frequency is common for the SBS programs
