Generally to build size and mass, heavy low reps, but it is good to mix it up...keep the muscles guessing. For instance, just load 135 on the bar and perform a set of 100 squats, or do a drop set...do 315 for 6-8, take a plate off each side (225) and do 8-10, then another plate (135) and do 20 for your final drop set...it will trigger growth...trust me.

it's the geometry that fucks with your elbows and knuckles
always ask what floor to what floor
disquise it too
 
don't come right out and ask if angled staircases are involved
common at apartment complexes
and common amongst hot younger pussy

Yeah, if you are going for size, keep with heavy low reps, but for variety you can do front squats, hack squats, high rep, medium rep, drop sets...so much you can do bro!

k
am going to the gym right now and try the 135 as much as I can...maybe I can get close to a 100
but do I need to do only one set?
can I also do a little front squats after?

Sure you can...keep your form strict, and just keep going until you.reach 100, if you have to pause to let the burn subside at times by all means, just push yourself. If you have juice left after those the yes hit front squats for 4 sets of 8-10 and kill them off, or some presses. A good finisher is also extensions with the 2 second hold and squeeze at the top, on last rep hold until failure. Enjoy!

Drop sets r awesome on every muscle group once in a while. Adds intensity and with squats you will learn what u r made of

That is the truth! My partners used to bring an empty bucket and sponge and set it at the squat rack for first one who puked...the sponge was for wiping your face :D

I would train your legs just like any other muscle.

i like to go hard and heavy and smash them, and then another workout go high rep and low weight. work both the red and white fibers.

squats, deads, carrying weights up a hill or stairs.. all compound lifts are excellent for the legs.
 
I luckily have never puked came close though especially when we squat drop sets in my buds garage with the doors open metallica blasting and 100degrees outside. People think we r nuts

you do have to have a big set of lungs for 100 reps as well. so If you dont do alot of cardio like me. you lungs will give out before your legs do.
 
With lifting never use the work always. Switch it up. I do 25 rep squauts 80% of the time. It helps growth for me. Big time. But I still do 3-5 rep squats every once in a while. Legs respond better to higher reps. Its proven. Also muscle builds from contracting, if your giving 100% for 3 reps youre not contracting. at all.

I do partially agree. I depends on you body type. I myself do not do any squats over 8 reps. mostly in the 4 to 6 range and heavy and always have done that.
My legs are just under 29 inches. So I feel a body type will dictate type of squatting that will work for you.

I agree with this. My legs try and stay lean which really pisses me off and i have found lower reps higher weight tend to work better for me.

finish off with a single 20 rep set. Keep increasing the weight the next time. When you're squatting 405 for 20 reps, you won't be complaining about the size of your quads.

The Famous WidowMaker Set!!!!

If you want a big squat you have to train heavy. Mostly because at 85% or more your form can break down and the closer that you get to 100% the more important perfect technique will be.

I box squatted 702 x 10 on Thursday and it was freaking hard (I saw The Pale Horse) but I also noticed that my form wasn't what it needed to be for me to hit a new 1RM PR soon.

spammed advertisements is the name of the infraction that gives a 24 hour timeout. It can be used for any violation of rules that a mod determines is worthy of a 24 hour timeout. Usually a further explanation is given in the PM that accompanies the timeout.

Hope this helps.

you got a 24 hour timeout for trolling in the fitness forums. not sure if you accidentally were on the wrong forum or what.. but whatever it was i figured timing you out would stop you from hanging yourself more. be careful as i told you in the PM and make sure you are posting in the forum you mean to. :)

Holy crud 702x10?!
That'll make you big. A lot of guys train lighter weight and higher reps. Just need to challenge the muscles to make them adapt. Man though 700x10... I can't imagine some one sub 180 lifting that....
 
I've been sick off and on this year, but doing better. I'm almost always between 275 and 290 depending on the heat here.
