I have a bit of a shoulder issue, I'm getting scans done soon, but it's looking like torn rotator cuff (both) or bursitis...
As I've gotten into oly lifting, I'm thinking I might do a squat program to really pump up my leg strength!
I'm not sure just to milk a 3x5 or something similar as much as I can, though I have kind of stalled in progression at the same point with these in the past, but haven't been using it as a direct "squat program" (I'm usually squatting after snatches or clean and jerks, so not fresh)
Or do I try like a Russian program or smolov?
My max back squat is 141, full ATG.. Which I'm not to proud of, I weigh 72-73 kgs and I'm 170cm, but I think BW ratios are used as an excuse! I want a big squat...
So any thoughts or inputs will be appreciated!!
Note- I have a coach, though I'm sure he will be fine with me running a squat program while my shoulders recover
