[QUOTE="Browninglover1, post: 531008, member: 29966"] Permaculture That's awesome that you are squatting that much. I found the same problem that after 5 reps I found it much harder on squats. The way we got around it was to make sure we always got to 10 reps, even if it meant that we had to drop weight. We found that more reps with less weight actually helped us out on the mountain a lot more than higher weight and lower reps. Set a specific goal and keep working at it. Maybe do 4 sets with 185 pounds till you feel comfortable, or do two sets of 10 at 225 pounds and then drop down to 185 pounds for your last two sets. As you mentioned proper form is everything. When you get to the higher reps it is very important your form stays good or you can really hurt yourself. Let me know if it helps you in the hills. I know it made a huge difference for me and my hunting buddy. [/QUOTE]
