    Another question. There are 4 different squats listed. On workout 1, stage 1, do I just do the first one on the page for 2 sets? (back squat). What about the other 3 types of squats?

    I followed Stage 1 for a week, but hated the confusing elements so I've skipped ahead to stage 2, hehe. I'm liking it because it is a lot less confusing.
