    Exclamation Squatting 2 days in a row?

    Guys. I usually workout 3 days a week. I have two types of workout; Workout A and Workout B. Both have different exercises except for Squats. Squats are included in both workouts.

    Workout A:
    Squats
    Overhead
    Deadlift
    Accessory

    Workout B:
    Squats
    Bench
    Lat Pulls/Chin Ups
    Rows
    Accessory

    Here's usually my workout pattern:

    Mon- Rest
    Tue- Workout A
    Wed- Rest
    Thu- Rest
    Fri- Workout B
    Sat- Rest
    Sun- Workout A
    A&B always alternates.

    However, this week I'll be a master of ceremony in an event, it's a sudden call. So now I have to move my workout from Fri to Sat because I have practices that I need to attend.

    The question is. Is it alright to squat 2 days in a row? I heard from another thread that it's bad for recovery. Is it better that I skip the workout completely? Or is it better that I still workout, but exclude the squats?

    Squatting two days in a row wont kill you, some people squat every friggin day.

    If you're beat up and can't perform as you're supposed to, maybe just go easy on them. Hit the prescribed reps with less intensity if needed. You don't have to skip them if you feel alright.

    It's one time thing, it doesnt matter.You can squat twice in a row if you feel like it, just dont go high with the volume on the first day becuase most likely you wont recover fully

    OP get rid of that program. Check out Fierce 5 in my sig. Proven program which is designed correctly for progression and allowing your muscle to REST. (hint-hint). Your CNS needs a break and enough time to for you muscle to grow. Otherwise, you will burn out and won't see the gains you're expecting. Your muscles need enough time to repair and grow. Less is more!

    If your able to squat twice in a row then your squats aren’t intense enough. Perhaps take a rest or work out a different specific body part.

    As a one off. Its fine.

    If you were planning on doing it often you would have to regulate intensity so you weren't hitting it hard every day.
