Gayle Hatch 12 Week Squat Emphasis

Gayle Hatch 12 Week Squat Emphasis
(Originally found here, as posted by Mike Burgener)



Program Cliffs:
  • 12 Weeks, 2 squat emphasis days per week
  • This program is intended to be run with both Back Squat and Front Squat sets on the same day. Complete all back Squat sets before moving on to Front Squats.
  • Gayle Hatch was the US Weightlifting Coach in 2004, and this is a squat program he developed 
  • This program is not a comprehensive program so it will require additional exercise selection by the user - per the above link, the blog author (Mike Burgener) noted in the comments to consider:
    •  Monday: Snatch exercises
    • Tuesday: Squat program
    • Wednesday: C&J exercises
    • Thursday: Squat program
    • Friday: Rest
    • Saturday: Snatch and C&J
  • Again, please note that this template is very bare bones and requires additional work by the user to cover weak areas, emphasize technique, strength, etc. 
  • Users may consider splitting the workouts to Squatting Monday and Wednesday, and then putting classic work on Tuesday and Thursday. This setup would be similar to the style of Catalyst 7 Week Squat program.
