20 rep squat
Whe I first started training squats I did them with great success. It is a very difficult method of training in that it takes full commitment to that one set. SuperSquats is the book that outlined this program for me. It advocates taken a weight you can do for 10 comfortably, and doing it for 20. Every week/session, you add 5-10lbs and repeat. If you are able to keep this up for any period of time hitting your reps, your strength and muscular endurance will go up. I now personally use a Rickey Dale Crain program, but did see great results with the 20 rep program.

Super Squats is a great book. I used that program in highschool. That was the first good program I ever used.
sk*, it worked great for me. I gained about 30 lbs of bodyweight in maybe 4 months or so using the program. It's hard as hell though. I'd have to meditate for a couple minutes before my set because they're so mentally taxing.

I do em. I wouldn`t say regularly though. Usually I will change my normal leg routine to doing just 20 reppers for about 4/5 weeks then back to my normal leg routine. I will do this about 2 or 3 times a year. I only do one set. A weight that I can only get 10 reps but I keep the bar on my shoulders and breath however long it takes to bang out the 20 reps. aka super squats.

I did them for a while in college. Not fun but great for endurance.

I've never seriously tried the program before but I'm doing them now & loving it. hope to get to Dr Ken territory by the end of the cycle.

totally. they're such a head game. 30lbs is great, how much of it was muscle do you think?

No idea. I'm sure some of it was fat though because I was also drinking about a gallon and a half of milk daily, lol. But I got really really strong on all of my compound lifts, which was fine with me.

ive done them before, never routinely. I want to encorperate ( sp ) them into my training about 1 month before the season, 2x a week to get the muscular endurance i will need.
