Legs in STS

[fitme40]

I don't have a squat rack so I'm not going to be able to find my true 1 Rep Max for any of the leg exercises that require a barbell on my back. What kind of weight should I use in Mesocyle 1? I can load my barbell with 50 pounds and get it over my head and wear my 20lb vest. Should I lift this much or should I do less?

Thanks for any help,
Laura

We don't use a barbell for any exercises like squats in Mesocycle 1. The only time we use a barbell for squats is in the optional Squat rack routine workouts.

I just assumed there would be barbell use. It would help if I looked at the list of exercises huh? I guess I'll have to go buy some heavier dumbbells!!

Thanks!!
