My volume varied but was typically a lot higher.

Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255 657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq	2x a month for me to increase bench. squatting every 10 days is also about right or i soon get injured. deadlifts probably every 10 days for optimal gains... This is all because any more frequency will always result in medium term injury for me. But then again, like Wayne, I have been lifting for 100 or so years.

Member 38, 6253 posts	Post Edited: 24.11.2015 @ 18:54 PM by Fazc A bit off topic but for those who squat infrequently, have you tried adding in squat variations in the days between squat sessions. Perhaps in a H/L/M fashion. How did that go? Was that a more acceptable way of adding volume. Monday = Squat Thursday = Front Squat Or even Monday = Squat high volume Wednesday = Front Squat lowish volume Friday = Pause Squat medium volume

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250 635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq	As others have already mentioned, I reckon an experienced lifter can maintain decent strength levels on the powerlifts and other such lifts like the front squat and overhead press with once a week training. I've seen it done by more than one person over the years. Note experienced, not novice and probably maintain, not improve. Plus, not sure how this would work for a snatch and clean and jerk as I have no experience here. There's a 70 year old mate of mine (IPF ref and ex lifter) who squats 140x5, benches 100x5 and works up to a deadlift single at 180 or 200 depending on feel, once a week, every week. Oh, and he does this beltless, chalkless, and fussless in a pair of tracksuit bottoms and cheap sports direct plimsoles.

AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5207 posts	Bit off topic but I have been going through programs, like a whore with cocks recently and I have stuck to Candito 6 week strength program. It has worked wonders with my squat. Most of you guys are strong as f**k already and most likely use your own style of training. But if you haven't tried it and want to try something new, I highly recommend it.

Volume is nothing massive but it adds up I suppose 2x week.
