For many lifters, reaching 300 pounds on the squat is a significant achievement. Being able to squat heavy will help you improve gluteal, hamstring, and quadriceps strength, as well as increase lower body power and core control. Squatting 300 pounds, on the other hand, will not come immediately. It may take months or years of training to be able to squat like this. The human body was not designed to produce force without limit. As we learn how to scale down our lives through self-preservation, we need to adapt the way we train to accommodate this new reality. While it's important to push yourself daily through challenging workouts, it's also important to give your body the time it needs to recover between sets and exercises. If you're looking to get stronger, feel better, live longer, then you should consider scaling back your squats until 300 pounds isn't a challenge anymore.
