20 rep squat

**GALTONATOR** · 15-11-2005 05:51 PM

Well boys and gilrs im back to full strength and its time to give these bad boys a go. I shall warm up and do a heavy set of 6-8 reps then rest a bit and reduce the weight and go for the 20 repper. I will get 20 reps! I plan to up the weight every squat day! Its fair to say im not looking forward to this to much but im sure the growth will be worth the pain and stares!!

Have a bucket nearby for the vomit! The only time I ever threw up at a gym was when doing 20 reppers.

Finlee,

A tried and trusted method of kick starting growth (not for the beginner). 20 rep breathing squats.

Have a look at this article

yes im mad i love doing legs! Its in a smith so i can ditch the bar if i need to! I plan to do 130kg for the first set then 80kg for the 20 repper! As i said i will add weight to each set every squat day. Which is every other week i alternate leg press and squat to reduce plateuing

i did the 20 rep thing for like 2 months, was good, if by good you mean painful and yea need the sick bucket lol, i did find i got ridiculous strength gains aswell, from one week to the next the weight id used the week before felt like nothing, p.s. dont go out that night
