The Hatch Squat Cycle is a great strength program for intermediate and advanced weightlifters looking to get their squat numbers up. This challenging, 12-week squat cycle was developed by Olympic weightlifting coach Gayle Hatch. Unlike many other squat programs, Hatch Squat utilizes both front- and back squats on training days. Please note that this program is not recommended for beginners as it is physically demanding.
