Anyone tried a 20 rep squat routine? How did it work for you?

Seperates the men from the boys.  


It has to be done correctly. By that I mean use the weight that you would do 12 reps with to failure, then grind out 8 more reps. If you have to rest w/o racking the weight do so. Breathe. Alot.


I would do it only once per week.  It will make you stronger.

I did it about 15 years.  It was a six week program.  Started with 185 for twenty reps and ended with 315 for twenty reps.  It worked very well for me.  

ETA:  Now I doubt I could do 135 for 20 reps.  

ETA:  Interestingly, my bench press also went up during that time, but I did not do anything different in regards to chest exercises.
