On day 10 4 am every morning! The gains I have seen are unreal. My deadlift is what blew me away! I love this! I don't want to not squat! I wake up at night flexing my legs feeling these gainz! Thank you Corey. Squat Nation!
Hey Cory! - What stretches do you do before/ after your workout? All those squats are making me tight! Would you ever release a video showing your stretching routine?
I am 55yrs old, i get really tight too, i have found with Squats and Dead Lifts i HAVE to cool down 1-2 sets, work out that Galactic Acid build up in my muscles, really helped me. I have to warm up 2 sets, lift my 5x5, then i cool down 2 sets lighter weights. Give it a try
In about five days , I've hit numbers I've never thought of . I remember barely being able to hit 225 lbs., and now I'm front squatting 225. My bench numbers are going up to. This is really pushing me to beat myself in every way. Ive never left the gym feeling so accomplished .
you know what Gory? I am a dad of 45 years old and I am working out on daily basis as a bad ass. I wake up EVERY DAY at 4,50, just finished your SQUAT EVERY DAY trainer... simply speechless. It goes without saying that i am looking forward to your sequel starting September. Simply Great Gory. You are the man. CIAO from Italy!
Iam in! I already made you squat every day 1.0 and increase from 140 lbs to 290 lbs so it really works!!! Can't wait to monday for start this new plan! Thank you Cory respects from you from Mexico!
just completed the 4 weeks....my hips and knees are feeling it but like they've said below; the gains don't lie. im up 40+kgs on my back squat and 30+kgs on my front squat and my form is so much better. my confidence on pushing for a 1rm is at an all time high. cheers Cory
Excellent Cory! Can't wait! Only 16 more days of squat every day and I'll be ready. Thanks for all the free content and motivation man. You are a real inspiration and I thoroughly enjoy it all! Now WAKE YOUR ASS UP! LOL!
Saw your video last night, and woke up this morning on a Sunday with is usually my rest day.And showed up in the gym and just squatted and left.I hit a new PR x3 Im gonna do it man
It' funny listening to you describing how to do the front squat - I tried out the front squat recently, and completely independent of any outside influence, I came to the *exact same conclusion* on how to perform them correctly as you did.
This is the perfect program OMG. Even I came up with a similar program but then while I was doing my research for it. I found this and I'm amazed on the perfection I feel it has on everything. I've done conjugate,Bulgarian,bro splits,push pull.... this is like the perfect mixture of all.
Getting into Oly lifting after not even working out for 3+ years for reasons varying from chronic illnesses to a car accident, which I still have minor nerve damage from. I was looking for a strength program to do along with low-weight technique reps and stumbled upon the original squat everyday program. I had to modify some things based on my goals, time restraints, and preferences, but I came to a plan that I'm still tweeking but is coming along. I squat everyday that I lift and I feel fucking great. My legs feel strong and stable despite the fact that I'm not even half as strong as I was the last time I lifted. I OH Press/push press Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I do posterior chain work Tuesday, Wednesday, and barbell row Friday. I have hypertrophy accessory movements and other lifts I do on those days as well. I bench on fridays only. I clean 2 times a week. Snatch 2 times a week. And squat everyday. Basically, this style of program can be adapted to any goal of you have and I love that you give this plan away. People don't even understand that you could charge $100 for this shit, but you don't. I love the new plan, those lunges seem crazy and I'll look into adding that in as I try and get stronger again!
If you're wondering about doing lunges in place instead of walking, it's fine. I've done it once or twice when it was pouring rain. It takes me about 850 steps to go a half mile. So you can adjust accordingly for how far you want to go.
First week the people at the gym said I'am just going to ruined my knees.3 weeks later they ask me what is this program that I'am using.. Thanks Cory Gregory your program is gold.
Started today haven't FS in a long time, hips tight, wrists hurt but still I stand!FS upto 215 can and will do more! Bench upto 265 for 1 typically I do lighter drop sets bc I work solo this was great .. bc of working in girl didn't have tone for 400m walking lung but will be up earlier tomorrow to kick its ass!! Thanks for the blue print to success!! I'll keep you posted
This program is unreal, strength gains every week.. Rear delts under heavy fire!! You think throwing in some heavy shoulder dumbell press and more arms on friday/sat is too much??
I went from a 135lb front squat, to a 235lb front squat in about 30 days. Deep squats. This program worked for me. I actually prefer front squats now. Unfortunately no gains anywhere else :/
Just finished my second week of the squat every day 2.0 My legs feel great. My back has been the only thing that's been kind of tight. I'm starting to get use to front squatting and I'm starting to like it a lot. Thanks Cory.
Yah, that's what is making my legs a little tight. I had do lunges standing in place a few days because I work out at home and I had to watch my daughter. I kinda want to do some overhead press. How would a add it or can I?
I just finished four months of this, and it's the most fun, most challenging workout routine I've ever done. Massive gains on squat (from 315 to 435) and Deadlift. My bench went from 255 to 305. I'm a high school football coach, and would love to get my players on this routine, but am very nervous about 14-18 year olds attempting this kind of volume, plus I only have them 5 days per week. Any thoughts as to a modified version? Thank you for all you do. May God bless you.
@@futuregenesis97 I coach high school football, and while I would love to use this approach with some of my guys, I would not use this for a beginner. If your school does not have a program, then you should talk with someone locally, who can help you plan and walk you through techniques. Focus on explosive, compound movements that will help, not only build strength, but also athleticism. That said, I did not have a set number of sets. Like he says in the video, I did triples up to a single (sets of 3 reps until I struggled and then sets of 1 rep until I failed) and let fatigue be the guide. It's been almost 4 years since I've done this and I cannot remember all aspects.
@@futuregenesis97 I actually just found some of my old routine. I would do this: Warmup set: 10 reps light weight Build up set: 5 reps, still light and slow and deep Then start the triples to a single routine
@@dmeek20 Thanks I'm going to try that, I just got into squatting with weight on my back and it's challenging. I tried to do a 1 rep max and it would feel like the weight is going to crush me. My strength coach is upset over this.
@@futuregenesis97 just take it slow. Squatting everyday is not something you should be doing as a beginner. BUT... some of these splits and the approach will help you build strength. Maybe start out going every other day and START LIGHT. Your body, as a beginner, is not ready for the stress this puts on your muscles. And if you don't have a firm foundation on which to build, you could get hurt
Jonathan Shah Jahan the problem I think is with ultra deep squatting is the knees.. robotic knee surgery is on schedule it's like when people train inflating muscle w/o going super heavy then eventually they tear the connecting muscle end point part there are limits to where if you go too far and do it for so long, it's like smoking/drinking it's ok if people quit early, then it would look like nothing happened but when it goes for far too long they end up having cancer it's kind of like when people cheat the system, not like cheat the system where there are gains and everyone is doing it wrong by not doing it and it's not really supposed to be labeled as cheating, it's where the people who cheat making too many millions that if they just stopped getting a few hundred thousand they would get away clean kind of like speeding on the highway every now and then instead of doing it for hours then car impound, jail time fees but none because you never got caught because you do it smart, and you don't do it all the time
Hey Cory, I've been following your squatting life on Instagram for a long time, and your story in general is super inspiring - especially considering that you've stayed clean in your athletic career. Since I'm starting a 6month off season from powerlifting competitions, I figured there's no time like the present to get squattingeveryday. I've just wrapped up day 2 and it's feeling good; just a couple questions, if I could. 1. I noticed that the bodyspace version of the sequel program has fewer lunge days than described in the video; any reason for that? Is one the 'de facto' version over the other? 2. Your sweater is the bomb; where can I get one? 3. When squatting every day and preparing for a meet, how do you adjust your training the week prior to the meet/the days after the meet. Thanks a ton for all the videos/articles you submit all over the place, and congrats on your continued success.
I'm going to start this tomorrow and I'm super pumped! I'm training an overweight female friend and helping her lose weight. I was wondering if she would be able to do this program as well. I'm not sure if this program is ideal for weight loss but I just wanted to make sure
Cory, I'm finishing the first version of squat everyday. I joined your site to view this program but I can't find it. I do find the squat life programs, but they don't include the bench most days like this does. I can't find a support place to ask this. I joined the site just for this program in this video specifically. And 3.0 of course.
Are you telling me TH-cam, that this ultimate badass maxes out a squat variation every fucking day? Is he The One Foretold? Who is this absolute mad lad who apparently has a cybernetic CBS?
I still don't get the set and reps. Looking on here and on bodybuilding.com, I can't seem to figure it out. I can't seem to differentiate between what are warm ups and what are working set.
So why is this program better than 1.0? This is a fairly large difference from the 1.0 version that I've really grown to like. Is it because the front squatting is less overall strenuous on the body, or you saw larger gains in the competition stance? I'm doing what works for me and just wondering if you could explain why this works better. Thanks for the program. Went from 325 competition stance belt&wraps to 365 raw Olympic stance in three weeks alone.
Having done mainly bodybuilding for the majority of my training history would you recommend also throwing in some 'fluff and pump' bis,tris,shoulders occasionally aswell or will it hinder recovery too much?
This man single handedly blew up every single one of my lifts. People tell me I'm crazy for doing this, but they still wonder why I am a freak compared to them
i've never really been on a program, i squat every time i go to the gym and alternate DLs and deficit DLs... i hardly bench. but i know squats will build my deadlift, and i really need to make my bench and back stronger... so i think i'm going to try this program. awesome video, awesome presentation. i would love to train with you if you were in oregon!
This shits sick but im on day 9 and lunge university is a killer but today dead lift went up 60 pounds and squat went up 60 pounds bench went up 20 pounds. They dont sell the pre workout recommended for this anymore. wreckage
Giuseppe passeri the problem I think is with ultra deep squatting is the knees.. robotic knee surgery is on schedule it's like when people train inflating muscle w/o going super heavy then eventually they tear the connecting muscle end point part there are limits to where if you go too far and do it for so long, it's like smoking/drinking it's ok if people quit early, then it would look like nothing happened but when it goes for far too long they end up having cancer it's kind of like when people cheat the system, not like cheat the system where there are gains and everyone is doing it wrong by not doing it and it's not really supposed to be labeled as cheating, it's where the people who cheat making too many millions that if they just stopped getting a few hundred thousand they would get away clean kind of like speeding on the highway every now and then instead of doing it for hours then car impound, jail time fees but none because you never got caught because you do it smart, and you don't do it all the time
Do you have suggested percentages to start at for each rep scheme? I am starting today and will aim for 60-65% for 10, ~75% for 5, ~80-85% for 3 and ~90%+ for 1. Pretty liberal but I don't want to do to much too fast and hurt myself again.
MID WEEK 3 GOING HARD .. WRISTS STILL TWEEK HIPS STILL A BIT TIGHT.. STRENGTH GAINS OUTTA THIS WORLD.. STAMINA OUTTA THIS WORLD LEGS AND HIPS LOOKING GREAT.. CORE GETTING STRONGER.. THANKS
I went from front squatting 255 to 315 in less than 3 months with this program and love it. The only issue I'm having now is it feels like my quads are ripping from the bone when I squat. Maybe stress fractures in my femur? Any one else have this issue?
You barely make 225 when you first started. But my max now is only 225...Worrying about the fundamental strength I have, instead of squatting 7 days straight I plan on doing it 5-7 days per week.
i always do back off sets on bench and squats, would this work with your program, and do you do them? ex. work up to heavy single, strip off some plates, go AMRAP, and keep going until theres like 135 left on the bar. always gives me a good pump and lets me get my reps in
Will the squat everyday be OK for a total newbie with very little barbell experience? I am also 80lbs over weight. I have lost 115 in the past year. Please advise if you would recommend this or something else if you were me. Thank you. I really admire your passion.
Get some experience under the bar before you need more advanced stuff like this. Why used advanced methods when basic stuff will get you there. Squat everyday is awesome but if you can't squat well yet not recommended
Kyle McD Definitely. Trial and error project I guess. I want to start this program because squatting everyday seems fun. I love doing heavy ass squats!
Cory, I have herniated discs in my lower back 2 x over the past 10 years. What kind of advice can you suggest for my leg training? I'm scared to go too heavy because I don't want to injure myself again. I've been front squatting over the past month with very light weight and seems to be going ok so far. Thanks.
Cory, I'm a little concerned this will cause some quad dominant imbalance. I understand the lunges add a lot of volume for your glutes but is it enough? Is there any way to incorporate more glute or hip dominant exercises apart from the lunges?
Kian Farahani the problem I think is with ultra deep squatting is the knees.. robotic knee surgery is on schedule it's like when people train inflating muscle w/o going super heavy then eventually they tear the connecting muscle end point part there are limits to where if you go too far and do it for so long, it's like smoking/drinking it's ok if people quit early, then it would look like nothing happened but when it goes for far too long they end up having cancer it's kind of like when people cheat the system, not like cheat the system where there are gains and everyone is doing it wrong by not doing it and it's not really supposed to be labeled as cheating, it's where the people who cheat making too many millions that if they just stopped getting a few hundred thousand they would get away clean kind of like speeding on the highway every now and then instead of doing it for hours then car impound, jail time fees but none because you never got caught because you do it smart, and you don't do it all the time
ant a squatting deep relieves the weight from your knees and shifts it to your hips, the strongest muscle in your body. These bullshit half squats and barely parallel squats wreck your knees because all of the weight is transferring through your knees the entire ROM rather than through your hips. The real problem is st people don't have the mobility to squat deep, it took me 3 months to get into a semi decent depth and I refused to load weight until I could hit it. Now I squat ATG with no problem and no knee pain.
Strength&Valor I mean, people say you should flat bench and incline no decline one video said they did a study and decline stimulated the most you know what, I was doing flat and incline for 2 years and saw very very small gains if not, Zero gains and super stagnated I went full decline and no flat/incline my gains have been Insane in comparison and my chest got Bigger and my triceps got Way stronger I'm sure the people who could full squat could do way way way more weight but because they are all parallel or further squatting 600 they dont need to go more but those guys can do like 800 900 half squat and stimulate muscle growth way further the top people who win muscle programs don't really show everything otherwise the competitors will copy they just show what everyone else is doing like this guy rich on youtube who won once but never won again saying you gotta do it like and eat like this but made like 5th or worse everytime the secret ways is what makes people #1 there's no way its in the common population as the way because their competition will beat them and it's not steroids but the mass static holds and not full range of motion with insane cheat curls that they never show anyone and do it most likely privately in their house
have you written a squat program for females? it's crazy the amount of lunges you do...I like doing barbell walking lunges but I don't do as much as you do. I did do the 3 week cycle of smolov a years back and felt really strong and would like to get that feeling back
Hey this sounds interesting although is alot of volume. So the concept is to work up to a heavy single on the heavy days? I curiois, jus need a little more clarification. Also, how long is this program? I kno u said u squat 400+ days.
leon flowers the problem I think is with ultra deep squatting is the knees.. robotic knee surgery is on schedule it's like when people train inflating muscle w/o going super heavy then eventually they tear the connecting muscle end point part there are limits to where if you go too far and do it for so long, it's like smoking/drinking it's ok if people quit early, then it would look like nothing happened but when it goes for far too long they end up having cancer it's kind of like when people cheat the system, not like cheat the system where there are gains and everyone is doing it wrong by not doing it and it's not really supposed to be labeled as cheating, it's where the people who cheat making too many millions that if they just stopped getting a few hundred thousand they would get away clean kind of like speeding on the highway every now and then instead of doing it for hours then car impound, jail time fees but none because you never got caught because you do it smart, and you don't do it all the time
leon flowers basically, there should be a certain range and a proper way of doing it you can go Full extreme if you are with in the range and doing it properly but if you go beyond that range, it's only a matter of time before it "prematurely" fails forever like, people think over doing something w/o knowing what is happening will make it work all the time because it's working while it's over doing it for a while but after that while it's broken forever
ant a thanks I understand all that I was jus curious about a little more derails about his program, but it seem like ur squatting and benching heavy couple days and ur rep ping out a couple days. Jus have to find what weights works for u based on the heavy/ lite days and try to increase the weight when u can.
leon flowers you can go super ultra heavy as long as stuff like kness and joints aren't being super compromised Like doing triceps but making the elbow go beyond 90 can blow the elbows out
hello cory how often should i go for new pr on bench dl and squats ? for example on monday i bench 225 , on thursday should i go for pr and go higher than 225 or work again on 225 and next monday try for new pr on 230 ? on dl each meet day should i go for new pr ? and the same on tuesday if i do 225 on deficit should i go for rp next tuesday ? on squats each week ? for example monday pause fsq do 225 next monday try for 230 ?
+george psilos Most of the athletes that use these high frequency programs go for prs when they come naturally. They work up to a comfortable single. During next weeks and months this comfortable single will slowly rise and it will surpass your old one rep max. If your pr is 225, you could e.g work up to a 210 multiple times a week and then do back off sets. Slowly start going from 210 to 215 and 220 when 210 start feeling pretty light. Suddenly you notice that you are doing smooth easy singles with 225, when a while ago it was your old grinder max. There isn't really a reason to burn yourself out be doing max singles every time you can.
i am really interested in trying this but how is your running? my 5k is 20:40 i am trying to get sub 20 so i am running 3 days a week with sprints and tempo runs. have you seen any change in those type of events. also what is your recovery like? i have a very physically demanding job so i have to through in rest days.
hey Cory, just a quick question, it doesn't seem like in the 2.0 version there's any programming for shoulders (besides accessory work from chest and back). shouldn't there be some overhead presses at some point?
Im a little confused. According to the chart, there is no arms training on wednesday, nor did he say so. But in the description on the wednesday it says ''Arm Pump Set: Straight Bar Curls Straight Bar Pushdowns 5 sets of 10-10-10 (Close, Normal, Wide)'' How should i go about this? ;p
On day 10 4 am every morning! The gains I have seen are unreal. My deadlift is what blew me away! I love this! I don't want to not squat! I wake up at night flexing my legs feeling these gainz! Thank you Corey. Squat Nation!

You're amazing, keep the content coming please! Thank you for your advice!

Jonathan Shah Jahan I know I'm a bit crazy
Jonathan Shah Jahan the problem I think is with ultra deep squatting is the knees.. robotic knee surgery is on schedule
it's like when people train inflating muscle w/o going super heavy then eventually they tear the connecting muscle end point part
there are limits to where if you go too far and do it for so long, it's like smoking/drinking
it's ok if people quit early, then it would look like nothing happened but when it goes for far too long they end up having cancer
it's kind of like when people cheat the system, not like cheat the system where there are gains and everyone is doing it wrong by not doing it and it's not really supposed to be labeled as cheating, it's where the people who cheat making too many millions that if they just stopped getting a few hundred thousand they would get away clean
kind of like speeding on the highway every now and then instead of doing it for hours then car impound, jail time fees but none because you never got caught because you do it smart, and you don't do it all the time
ant a If you squat higher, more strain is placed on the knee joint. That's all. I don't need to write a book out.
That Dude idk about knee joint but I went full deep for front and I think it's better
Need to put this in the bodybuilding app
Hey Cory, I've been following your squatting life on Instagram for a long time, and your story in general is super inspiring - especially considering that you've stayed clean in your athletic career. Since I'm starting a 6month off season from powerlifting competitions, I figured there's no time like the present to get squattingeveryday. I've just wrapped up day 2 and it's feeling good; just a couple questions, if I could.
1. I noticed that the bodyspace version of the sequel program has fewer lunge days than described in the video; any reason for that? Is one the 'de facto' version over the other?
2. Your sweater is the bomb; where can I get one?
3. When squatting every day and preparing for a meet, how do you adjust your training the week prior to the meet/the days after the meet.
Thanks a ton for all the videos/articles you submit all over the place, and congrats on your continued success.
I'm going to start this tomorrow and I'm super pumped! I'm training an overweight female friend and helping her lose weight. I was wondering if she would be able to do this program as well. I'm not sure if this program is ideal for weight loss but I just wanted to make sure
me3362473 not ideal for weightloss the lunges work great tho
In bodybuilding it didn't say do lunges but in the video 2.0 it does...plus is it 7 to 10 sets of 20 reps of front pause squats
mono Flores yup
yes front squats to force that thoracic extension
Cory, I'm finishing the first version of squat everyday. I joined your site to view this program but I can't find it. I do find the squat life programs, but they don't include the bench most days like this does. I can't find a support place to ask this. I joined the site just for this program in this video specifically. And 3.0 of course.
@cory Gregory So much respect for your program and you! progress is great, more on the mind than the body
Thanks man
Corygfitness.com
Are you telling me TH-cam, that this ultimate badass maxes out a squat variation every fucking day? Is he The One Foretold? Who is this absolute mad lad who apparently has a cybernetic CBS?
I just started squatting every day a week ago. Videos on my channel of my progress thus far. Excited to see where things go.
When does 2.0 come out?!?
No Ego Fitness its out www.bodybuilding.com/fun/squat-every-day-the-sequel.html
"I've been squatting for 405 days in a row *looks away couz of lying" 0:25
Tomorrow's Monday, can't wait to do it!
Desmo Cedici great thx
I still don't get the set and reps. Looking on here and on bodybuilding.com, I can't seem to figure it out. I can't seem to differentiate between what are warm ups and what are working set.
Low volume. Warm up to a single and your done.
Hey if I stick to this program strict could I also do my daily wods at my crossfit gym for conditioning?
kyle bush
Cory Gregory yes
So why is this program better than 1.0? This is a fairly large difference from the 1.0 version that I've really grown to like. Is it because the front squatting is less overall strenuous on the body, or you saw larger gains in the competition stance? I'm doing what works for me and just wondering if you could explain why this works better. Thanks for the program. Went from 325 competition stance belt&wraps to 365 raw Olympic stance in three weeks alone.
Andrew Ryder getting good at front squats will make you way stronger
Cory Gregory What do you think about doing shoulder presses instead of bench press?
Christopher Murphy sure any Olympic style movement
Just wondering, if you have a big arch on incline bench, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of doing the incline bench?
Having done mainly bodybuilding for the majority of my training history would you recommend also throwing in some 'fluff and pump' bis,tris,shoulders occasionally aswell or will it hinder recovery too much?
Loved the first squat everyday program can't wait for this but were can I get the hole program from to print out
Daniel Debanks I posted it in the show notes
Thanks I got it it's already whooping my ass great work
This man single handedly blew up every single one of my lifts. People tell me I'm crazy for doing this, but they still wonder why I am a freak compared to them
How do you deal with injuries? just subscribed
i've never really been on a program, i squat every time i go to the gym and alternate DLs and deficit DLs... i hardly bench. but i know squats will build my deadlift, and i really need to make my bench and back stronger... so i think i'm going to try this program. awesome video, awesome presentation. i would love to train with you if you were in oregon!
Come to Old School man
This shits sick but im on day 9 and lunge university is a killer but today dead lift went up 60 pounds and squat went up 60 pounds bench went up 20 pounds. They dont sell the pre workout recommended for this anymore. wreckage
Sunday will be day 30 of #squateveryday.. Monday I'll definitely start 2.0 ! Thanks
Giuseppe passeri great

you should do a video with Mike O'Hearn since he's all about power bodybuilding (power lifting + bodybuilding)
Nick Serra Mike is cool peoples for sure
Love it! but I don't have access to a GHD machine, what do you recommend for taking its place ?!
Dave King back extensions & hamstring curls
Ok cool, thats what i have been doing. in my last week of SED 1.0, made drastic strength improvements + its addicting
Do you have suggested percentages to start at for each rep scheme? I am starting today and will aim for 60-65% for 10, ~75% for 5, ~80-85% for 3 and ~90%+ for 1. Pretty liberal but I don't want to do to much too fast and hurt myself again.
MID WEEK 3 GOING HARD .. WRISTS STILL TWEEK HIPS STILL A BIT TIGHT.. STRENGTH GAINS OUTTA THIS WORLD.. STAMINA OUTTA THIS WORLD LEGS AND HIPS LOOKING GREAT.. CORE GETTING STRONGER..
THANKS
ViNDeSiL78 your hips/legs should look no different in 3 weeks. any change in appearance is from what you were doing prior to those 3 weeks.
ViNDeSiL78 hell yea
Cory,
Do you any kind of warm up? Dynamic stretching? Warm up sets?
Sam Tatel warmup sets yes
I went from front squatting 255 to 315 in less than 3 months with this program and love it. The only issue I'm having now is it feels like my quads are ripping from the bone when I squat. Maybe stress fractures in my femur? Any one else have this issue?
hshorline I would say you need to warmup more & some type of therapy are you doing the track lunges?
when do we do shoulders ?
When does 2.0 go live on bodybuilding.com?

www.bodybuilding.com/fun/squat-every-day-the-sequel.html
My shoulers are a little on the small side. Where would you thrown in some shoulder work to grow delts and traps?
Cody Elzey yes 2x per week
You barely make 225 when you first started. But my max now is only 225...Worrying about the fundamental strength I have, instead of squatting 7 days straight I plan on doing it 5-7 days per week.
Yea man progress comes fast
i always do back off sets on bench and squats, would this work with your program, and do you do them? ex. work up to heavy single, strip off some plates, go AMRAP, and keep going until theres like 135 left on the bar. always gives me a good pump and lets me get my reps in
Today is day 1, so excited....
Will the squat everyday be OK for a total newbie with very little barbell experience? I am also 80lbs over weight. I have lost 115 in the past year. Please advise if you would recommend this or something else if you were me. Thank you. I really admire your passion.
wouldnt recommend it.
Anthony Holley I think you should go for it! Start light then progress! Good Luck
Get some experience under the bar before you need more advanced stuff like this. Why used advanced methods when basic stuff will get you there. Squat everyday is awesome but if you can't squat well yet not recommended
Thoughts on caffeine/pre workout with squatting intensely everyday? Fried CNS?
Daniel Scruggs Caffeine effects every single person differently.
Kyle McD Definitely. Trial and error project I guess. I want to start this program because squatting everyday seems fun. I love doing heavy ass squats!
Daniel Scruggs I love the Wreckage & Assault Black we make
Can't wait to try this next week! In my final week of 1.0.
SoulOne94 thx man its legit
What days should you do cleans/snatches? If your goal is to get faster too what days should you do sprints and plyos too?
Parker Wendt Wed for Oly lifts
Can you do your Squats in the morning and on the same day at night time do other variations of squats and other leg exercises?
Cory, I have herniated discs in my lower back 2 x over the past 10 years. What kind of advice can you suggest for my leg training? I'm scared to go too heavy because I don't want to injure myself again. I've been front squatting over the past month with very light weight and seems to be going ok so far. Thanks.
Jason Czubachowski The lunges would be the best IMO
Cory Gregory Ok thanks!
If you're just squatting everyday bench 4x with superset back. Hows the rest of your body gonna look? Arms and shoulders etc?
Chris Rothwell Jacked man check it out
Cory,
I'm a little concerned this will cause some quad dominant imbalance. I understand the lunges add a lot of volume for your glutes but is it enough? Is there any way to incorporate more glute or hip dominant exercises apart from the lunges?
Kian Farahani I do ghds daily also

ant a shut up
ant a squatting deep relieves the weight from your knees and shifts it to your hips, the strongest muscle in your body. These bullshit half squats and barely parallel squats wreck your knees because all of the weight is transferring through your knees the entire ROM rather than through your hips. The real problem is st people don't have the mobility to squat deep, it took me 3 months to get into a semi decent depth and I refused to load weight until I could hit it. Now I squat ATG with no problem and no knee pain.
Strength&Valor I mean, people say you should flat bench and incline no decline
one video said they did a study and decline stimulated the most
you know what, I was doing flat and incline for 2 years and saw very very small gains if not, Zero gains and super stagnated
I went full decline and no flat/incline
my gains have been Insane in comparison and my chest got Bigger and my triceps got Way stronger
I'm sure the people who could full squat could do way way way more weight but because they are all parallel or further squatting 600 they dont need to go more
but those guys can do like 800 900 half squat and stimulate muscle growth way further
the top people who win muscle programs don't really show everything otherwise the competitors will copy
they just show what everyone else is doing like this guy rich on youtube who won once but never won again saying you gotta do it like and eat like this but made like 5th or worse everytime
the secret ways is what makes people #1 there's no way its in the common population as the way because their competition will beat them and it's not steroids but the mass static holds and not full range of motion with insane cheat curls that they never show anyone and do it most likely privately in their house
What type of squatting shoes do use? Could you also use them to deadlift and lunge?
have you written a squat program for females? it's crazy the amount of lunges you do...I like doing barbell walking lunges but I don't do as much as you do. I did do the 3 week cycle of smolov a years back and felt really strong and would like to get that feeling back
Its works for both & I have 16 months of programs at Corygfitness.com
What would a good macro ratio be for fat loss? Muscle building macros as well?
Nathan Christensen go to bodybuilding.com its on there
do you work up to a heavy single on the conventional pull on tuesdays?
cory, what do you think about a bodybuilder such as myself (currently cutting for show in july) implementing this program?
Ricardo Simonelli I did a cover training this way
Do you reckon you could apply Olympic Weightlifting anywhere in this programme?
jay bell yes 100%
Where would you implement or apply them in the programme?
jay bell why not do max out friday for the lifts and do sg press and press instead of incline
On day 4 of squat everyday 2.0. My legs are beat. But I have grown chest hair. The lunges are amazing for recovery
Gilbert Teves nice
Hey this sounds interesting although is alot of volume. So the concept is to work up to a heavy single on the heavy days? I curiois, jus need a little more clarification. Also, how long is this program? I kno u said u squat 400+ days.

ant a huh? WTF? U lost me with all that.
leon flowers basically, there should be a certain range and a proper way of doing it
you can go Full extreme if you are with in the range and doing it properly but if you go beyond that range, it's only a matter of time before it "prematurely" fails forever
like, people think over doing something w/o knowing what is happening will make it work all the time because it's working while it's over doing it for a while but after that while it's broken forever
ant a thanks I understand all that I was jus curious about a little more derails about his program, but it seem like ur squatting and benching heavy couple days and ur rep ping out a couple days. Jus have to find what weights works for u based on the heavy/ lite days and try to increase the weight when u can.
leon flowers you can go super ultra heavy as long as stuff like kness and joints aren't being super compromised
Like doing triceps but making the elbow go beyond 90 can blow the elbows out
hey cory..for nutrition and macros how many grams per pound p,c,f are at for shred and how many for gain muscle
answer pleas thanks
Andreas Aresti I put my meal plan on SED 1.0 on bodybuilding.com
hello cory
how often should i go for new pr on bench dl and squats ?
for example on monday i bench 225 , on thursday should i go for pr and go higher than 225 or work again on 225 and next monday try for new pr on 230 ?
on dl each meet day should i go for new pr ? and the same on tuesday if i do 225 on deficit should i go for rp next tuesday ?
on squats each week ? for example monday pause fsq do 225 next monday try for 230 ?
+george psilos Most of the athletes that use these high frequency programs go for prs when they come naturally. They work up to a comfortable single. During next weeks and months this comfortable single will slowly rise and it will surpass your old one rep max.
If your pr is 225, you could e.g work up to a 210 multiple times a week and then do back off sets. Slowly start going from 210 to 215 and 220 when 210 start feeling pretty light. Suddenly you notice that you are doing smooth easy singles with 225, when a while ago it was your old grinder max.
There isn't really a reason to burn yourself out be doing max singles every time you can.
I would love your mentorship
Would you recommend squatting everyday and bench most days while dieting down for a show?
Daniel Scruggs I did it for my last photo shoot & I was 14lbs heavier
That's badass! I've been doing it and I've been getting lean as hell. Those lunges are a bitch but I'm stronger. That's what matters!
what if i want to incorporate this program into my olympic lifts?
I program in OLY lifts in the new versions at corygfitness.com
So the reps are not 10,10,5,5,3,3,3,1,1,1, like in 1.0?
i am really interested in trying this but how is your running? my 5k is 20:40 i am trying to get sub 20 so i am running 3 days a week with sprints and tempo runs. have you seen any change in those type of events. also what is your recovery like? i have a very physically demanding job so i have to through in rest days.
Micah my recovery is solid I really key on nutrition & supps..I don't run much but my conditioning is good from all the lunges I do.
hey Cory, just a quick question, it doesn't seem like in the 2.0 version there's any programming for shoulders (besides accessory work from chest and back). shouldn't there be some overhead presses at some point?
Joshua McDougal maybe instead of incline you could do military. or snatch grip overhead press
Joshua McDougal you can yes add them in
Cory Gregory yes you can but I saw my bench go up 50lbs without it ..
when i approach the hole, my right leg tends to give a slight pain that makes it give out? Should i cut back on the heavy squat?
Im a little confused. According to the chart, there is no arms training on wednesday, nor did he say so. But in the description on the wednesday it says ''Arm Pump Set:
Straight Bar Curls
Straight Bar Pushdowns
5 sets of 10-10-10 (Close, Normal, Wide)''
How should i go about this? ;p
Hillerio I added it in after
Hey Cory, when is 2.0 going on bodybuilding.com?
