Anyone else share my idea on squats?

Does anyone else feel that doing 5x20 for squats will overall increase every aspect of your personal lifting ability? My coach says that doing 5x20 with the heaviest weight possible will spike testosterone levels quickly.

Thats a good way to get huge legs

It makes it easier to go up in weights for a Max for sure.

I wouldnt say it would help maxing as much.. Nothing helps my maxes like 3-6 reps. But 20 reps on squats is deff better for size

 

[BigTiger94]

Idk. I mean ever since I started doing 20 reps its been way easier to squat heavy for low reps.

5x20 works on pretty much everything.

how often do you do it? wont it lead to overtraining? i mean squats are a heavy excersize after all. 5x20 is 100reps.

i might just try that actually.

The load is significantly lighter, and if you don't go to failure, your CNS will be fine. Also, legs require a lot of Volume

Only once or twice a week but I make sure I'm 4 days apart for 20 reps
