Squat all the time

With the current RPT program in place, I'm following an overall program that really closely mirrors the Starting Strength program I've done so much before.

I like the SS approach.  Focused on a few main lifts, using the full body, and working to build strength first.  Size and mass are secondary items.  Of course, the RPT swaps up the program by removing the 3x5 work weight, and putting in the pyramid progression instead.

What this all means is that I'm back to squatting every workout.  I'd moved away from squatting so often to focus some effort on the deadlift and OHP - which worked, but left me lagging everywhere else.

Now, I'm working through all of the stuff I neglected.  Some things are harder than others.
