A frequently asked question is "How many squat sessions per week?" Chinese weightlifting technique is very intense on the legs so it is too taxing to squat heavy with high frequency. Therefore most Chinese athletes squat heavy 2 times per week with greater frequency used temporarily for specific purposes. Otherwise it is easy to overtrain the knees.

During the Ma Strength weightlifting camp 15 year old Shen Guowei (under 62kg) displayed successful implementation of those Saturday frequency when he squatted 200kg...for a double. During our 2015 camp he did 190 for a single weighing at 56kg. Obviously he's in his sensitive period for strength development but a year of squatting heavy twice per week was enough to improve  over a year while remaining injury free.
