This is a specialization workout meant to help bring up your lagging quadriceps. I recommend performing it only once per week, and it two weeks as follows:
As you can see, week 3 is a much lighter week. It is meant to be used as a working deload.
The 10 sets of squats are performed using the following set and rep scheme:
This is going to feel brutal. Rest as long as needed between sets and stay hydrated.
I recommend a controlled warmup, building up in weight similar to the following before your first set:
From here build up in sets by a factor of 10% of your one rep max until you reach your heavy triple. Then follow the program as detailed.
