Next Program to Do

I was pretty worried that I wasn't going to be able to find a good program that worked for ONLY squatting. I didn't really want to do Smolov Jr again because its so short, or the Russian Squat program, because both of those require strict adherence and I remember them being REALLY hard, and boring.

I found some interesting programs in the book I bought called "The Sport of Olympic-Style Weightlifting: Training for the Connoisseur" by Carl Miller. He gives nine programs, but I wasn't able to consider some because they weren't meant for squatting, incorporated two or more lifts (instead of just one), or they were shorter than I wanted. I narrowed it down to three: a Soviet program, a Bulgarian program, and a Hungarian program. I made some notes in the book which I scanned outlining my choice of the Bulgarian program.

I don't think I will use my actual max, though I might. I'll likely use either 90 or 95%. (EDIT: I may max and use that, since the grip is different and all that.)
