foxyj75 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Just figured I would share this with you guys. At a little over halfway through the 20 rep squat 6 week cycle, tonight I hit 300# for 20 reps! That may not be a big deal to some of you monsters, but I'm stoked about it! :rock Check out my training log for some other PR's I hit tonight. Later!

The Natural Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Good job man. Wannagrip posted some useful information a while back about 20 rep squats. Four days or so after you do them, do a few heavy singles with 100 or so pounds more than the weight you use for your 20 rep squats. It will confuse the muscle and slow down adaptation to the 20 rep scheme. Best of luck! -Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andurniat Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Great set. Let us know how the rest of the weeks go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Beatty Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 A nice shocker program I use from time to time is my 40-30-20-10-5 program. 135 x 40, 225 x 30, 315 x 20, 405 x 10, 495 x 5. The 30 rep set is the anti puke battle for me. The 20 actually feels easy. You'll be sore for a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just pick a moderately hard 5 rep set & then just work back from there. First time I did this I hadn't been working maxes in a long time. I'd say it was about 10% off my max 5 rep at the time for the heavy set. I added 30lbs at the heaviest - 4 weeks adding 10lbs to every set each week.

climber511 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I've done 100 hundreds as a squat routine for many years (100# for 100 straight reps). It has proven itself as a great way to get my legs in shape to climb mountains - not sure what value it has for anything else but it seems to be good for the mind too. It also make you walk funny for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
