I can bench 175 lbs for 7 reps but only squat 145 lbs (with a Manta Ray) for 12 reps easily on the first heavy set but very hard on the 3rd set. I got back to squatting about 3 weeks ago and only squat once a week and I'm a beginner to squats. I've been thinking of including squats in every workout 3 times a week. Since I'm still fairly new to squatting is it okay for me to squat 3 times a week instead of once every 7 days?
