When to reach for this template

No barbell, so stimulus is unilateral depth then rate-of-force. Order is load-bearing: box squat (skill/strength) before jump squat (RPE caps intent, not reps) so fatigue never blunts power; keep box-squat rest near 120s, bridge/roller short. Drive box-squat e1RM per its own progression note; match the working leg's reps both sides. No-DB swaps: bodyweight split squat (same reps/RPE) and kneeling roller — never trade range for load on the anterior-core work.
