Design in like.
Day one–
A1) +front squats
-??? (Reps/sets/rest time/ tempo/ intensity)
B1) +??? Push\pull
-
C1) +???
-???
(Whatever exercises you choose or more)
day two–
A1) +box squat
-???
Etc.
Day three
A1) +back squat
-???
Etc.
That type of outline 3-5 exercises per workout.

Maybe rock climbing. They are mostly skinny little fuckers with no legs. Marathon or Ultra-marathon runners maybe as well. They want to carry no weight and even muscle is bad. If they could get down to legs, lungs, and heart only they would. Extra weight doesn’t help Olympic tower divers get in the water clean either and those little Chinese kids kill the Americans who carry more muscle and more weight usually. (Springboard is a different story–that discipline requires more strength).
But, yah, for the most part being too lean isn’t good for most sports.

You’re not going to get the answers you want by insulting people. You are being told the truth, namely that:
If you wish to see how helpful and supportive the members here can be to beginners with the right attitude, check back over the forum history. RubberDucky’s thread should be at near the top right now, that’s a good place to start.

Takeru Kobayashi had a pretty dominant run as a 130 pound competitive eater. He downed 110 hot dogs in 10 minutes, 106 tacos in 10 minutes, and many other notable achievements in excessive consumption.
Alas, he was beaten in a bunless hot dog eating contest by an 1,100 pound Kodiak bear. I think you can still hold your head high if you lose to a bear, but that must’ve really stung for a champion like Kobayashi.

So on e hand you “travel and conjugate with lions, and you’re not a sheep” and you’ve read “hundreds of articles.”
On the other hand, you literally want someone to spoon feed you a program to your exact specifications.

I am curious: in any of those “hundreds of articles” you read, did you not encounter a basic beginner’s weightlifting template that did this? Because…let me Google that for you:
stronglifts
How about that. A beginner weighlifting template that’s laid out exactly how you want.
For someone that “travels and conjugates with lions” and has read “hundreds” of articles, it seems that your basic research skills are lacking.

Kobayashi is, indeed, a lion among sheep.
Alright, because you gave me a really good laugh with the “conjugate with lions” line…

I want to increase my front squat and box squat.
Box squat to 225. Front squat to 175.[/quote]
Identify the muscles involved in both movements. Primary, secondary, stabilizers. Build them.
Practice the lifts. Hone technique with frequency. Manage intensity to avoid burnout while you build up your work capacity.
You won’t get thicker without gaining weight.
Your cns gradually adapts to increasing stress. It is not static. Ensure you are getting sufficent nutrition.
Hypertrophy of the muscles involved in the bench press is what gives you greater overall strength potential. Progressively increasing the load builds these muscles.
You don’t even need to bench to get similar results. Benching is simply a more efficent way of getting there.
Same as above depending on your sport.
None.
[quote]I understand that if I’m stronger in my bench press I will most likely be stronger in other lifts; however,
is the increases in bench press strength important to improving squatting strength? [/quote]
No. Common sense should have told you this.
Frequency gives you more practice. Practice ingrains technique. This alone will only take you so far. You have to build muscle or you will stall.
Switching up your lifts every few weeks goes against this idea.

Here’s some more honesty then.
You’re a pompous fuck hiding behind some computer screen typing a bunch of lies. The fact that you can somehow write “On top of that, I respect everyone’s opinion” and then call someone “sheep” is actually quite hilarious to me. You’re just another one of those sad fools who think they’re “lions” or “sheepdogs” when you’re really just a dumb sheep who can’t even see that he’s going down the wrong path.
You’re pathetic. I detest people like you. Yes, it may be simple immaturity, since you’re still a child. Even so, you’re a really immature one.
Grow up.

At first, I thought your legacy on this site would be just another super-skinny know-it-all with an attitude and youthful ego. But honestly, I’m not sure which of these two lines will get better absorbed into forum lingo.
“I Only Conjugate With Lions” would look awesome on a t-shirt, but “using yourself as a fertilizer” kinda sounds like pooping on yourself, and poop jokes are always comedy gold. Either way, great work coming up with those. Your forum contributions haven’t been in vain.
We do. Seriously, it’s crystal clear to everyone at this point.
Four months ago, you were convinced that athletes only needed to deadlift and overhead press. Now you’re convinced that high frequency squatting is the big key to success. It’s literally amazing that you’re so committed to ignoring plain old hard work on a fully fleshed out, properly designed, “not a catchy fad” plan.
I’m still waiting to hear what the OP has achieved to merit his arrogance. Strength is not it, nor is his strength to weight. And clearly he’s not THAT skilled at basketball, if I haven’t heard of him at 20 years old. He’s well past the point of ever being an NBA prospect.
