Gayle developed an interest in many different sports, including Basketball, setting many records in various fields. <\/p>\n<p>Gayle then became a training coach for Olympic lifters, developing his famous \u201cHatch Program\u201d for explosive and high-volume training. Because of its positive efficiency, the training program soon became popular all across the world.<\/p>\n<p>The Hatch Squat cycle spans around twelve weeks and is a pretty intense routine. As such, the training program is only suitable for advanced and intermediate lifters. The workout sessions might be a little too intense and physically demanding for beginners.<\/p>\n<p>On the surface, the principle of the Hatch Squat program seems basic enough. Each training week has two squat sessions, allowing the weightlifter sufficient time for rest and recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other squat routines, the Hatch Squat cycle focuses on both &#8211; front and back squats for all-rounded development and proper strength gains. The ratio of front squats to back squats is 1:1, making it more effective for weightlifters as opposed to powerlifters.<\/p>\n<p>However, for off-season training, the training program can work for powerlifters as well.<\/p>\n<p>The training pattern followed here is linear. The descending periodization is done keeping in mind the recovery requirement of each weightlifter.<\/p>\n<p>The starting weights are determined on the basis of the lifter\u2019s squatting 1RM. However, you can consider inputting a number that is slightly lower than your maximum capabilities if you don\u2019t want to struggle too much while training.<\/p>\n<p>To summarize, these are the training principles used in the Hatch Squat program:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The training pattern followed is linear or descending pyramid.<\/li>\n<li>Only two training sessions per week. Consists of both front and back squats during each workout session.<\/li>\n<li>By the 11th week, the weightlifter will attempt to lift 103% of his 1RM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hatch_Squat_Program_Spreadsheet\"><\/span>Hatch Squat Program Spreadsheet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Hatch Squat program comes with a basic set of instructions and a fairly easy training schedule.<\/p>\n<p>But to get optimum results, one must follow the routine perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>You can download the entire Hatch Squat cycle from here.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter has-custom-font-size has-medium-font-size\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-luminous-vivid-amber-to-luminous-vivid-orange-gradient-background has-background wp-element-button\" href=edit8067.html style=\"border-radius:0px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Spreadsheet file is easily downloadable and can be printed out to keep a physical copy available with you at all times.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Reference<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=_-255.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.hatchsquat.com\/program-overview\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Don&#8217;t miss:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=_-256.html>Chinese Weightlifting Training Program<\/a><br \/><a href=_-257.html>USSR Yearbook Squat Routines<\/a><br \/><a href=_-258.html>Fred Hatfield (Dr. Squat) 9 Week Program<\/a><br \/><a href=_-259.html>Fred Hatfield (Dr. Squat) 12 Week Program<\/a><br \/><a href=_-260.html>Candito Advanced 9 Week Squat Program<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summing_Up\"><\/span>Summing Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Hatch Squat program is fairly popular in weightlifting circles.
