Starting Stage 2 next week and don't want to give up my squats!!

I am starting stage 2 next week (finally) and I really don't want to give up my heavy squats. I know that sounds crazy but I have really progressed in weight during stage 1.

Will I lose that strength I gained during stage 2?

You will gain leg strength doing all kinds of split squats, lunges, and step-ups in the next few stages.

I don't remember doing squats again until Stage 6 (and then I switched to front squats). I don't think you'll lose any strength though. I know I was definitely stronger by that point.

Thats what I thought. The body probably needs a break from them anyway! I am really getting the form down and squatting heavier and lower than ever before and just want to keep going!!

I couldn't remember specifically what was in Stage 2 (so I just looked). I think you'll like the Front Squat/Push Press.
