Many strong folks in this thread. Congratulations to everyone for the hard work and no quit attitude.
I was able to hit 254..
That’s my PR.
A year ago I started this journey at 75 pounds. This was coming off a knee surgery and 6 months of swelling.
Hope to a part of this thread in 2026

I'm out. I'll be 51 right after Squatober. This is a young man's program.

I'm 52 but I'm in. I treat it like I raise my TMs as I can all year and then I try to actually hit them in the PR party.

I couple it with sober October too (though I'm drinking in general a lot less nowadays) and that helps recover

I'm potentially in.

I may skip this and do Deadcember. I didn't get to do that one last year.

I've done squatober 2018, 2022-2025. Really enjoyed last years Squatober I think it was by far the best programming yet. Looks like Zerchers are being incorporated more this year based on AA's posts. Cool to see the evolving nature of Squatober with AA getting up there in age, I feel like its shown in the programming (not in a bad way)

Pressure cooker is so fun. I've been running a different program that does "pressure cooker" density sets every week for the first 4-5 weeks for Back Squats, Bench Press and OHP and my TMs have sky rocketed. Super effective method

Is it a M-F program again this year? I would love to partake but don’t think my back can handle it - especially with all the conditioning I do in my older age.

Yes it's M-F. I am going to give it a run but I know there are at least 2 Fridays coming up where I am going to move the workout to Monday after and pushing everything back a day so I'll end up finishing up a few days into November.

Has he ever programmed it 4 days a week? Not being sarcastic, just curious.
