  • If you feel like you can squeeze more out of an LP program then I highly recommend GZCLP - it has what you mention of working at higher and lower rep ranges (which works well for me as well). Due to starting and stopping barbell strength training a few times I've run starting strength, stronglifts, and GZCLP and the latter is definitely my favourite.

    As the weight gets heavier, squatting every day, especially close to your max in a low-ish rep range will become hard to recover from. I squat once a week and see good progress. From looking at Juggernaut it seems like a decent program and you could just run it straight up.

    I hesitate to make too many modifications to programming, unless they're made to be moved around a bit. If you run Juggernaut just run it as is for a couple months, if you feel like you need more volume (particularly on the squat) then look for another program.

  • How do you find the DOMS from only squatting once a week? I find if I'm squatting regularly my legs get used to it quite quickly, but only once a week that doesn't happen so much

  • No significant DOMS for me with once a week. Only time recently I've had any non-insignificant soreness after squats was when I pushed up for a heavy set of 5 after my AMRAP set, and then continued with my 3 sets of 8 back off sets as well, but that feels deserved.
