foxyj75 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Following Rex's advice for heavy singles as a way to confuse my legs, I hit a decent PR tonight; 425#!!! This was after singles at 325, 345, 365, 385, 405, and 415. Fresh I think I could come real close to 450#. I guess 20 rep squats really do work! Later!

egg_uk Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 STRONG. the 20 reppers are really working for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timiacobucci Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Sweet, I hope to catch that # soon enough. 450 though is still a ways off from me. How is your deadlift now? I got a nice strength boost all around from the 20 rep routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Moyers Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Awesome work Fox What is the 6 week cycle you are following? Do you have it posted on the board somehere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyj75 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Awesome work Fox What is the 6 week cycle you are following? Do you have it posted on the board somehere? Thanks! There's a link to the cycle in my "300# for 20 reps" post. I have changed it up now though, and am on a hybridish 5x5 routine with much heavier weight. The 20 reppers worked great for about 4 weeks, but my body got used to the volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
