Comments:
Squats felt really heavy, haven't squatted, deadlifted, or benched in 10 days. Bench went awesome, took 10 seconds to lock out last rep.

I haven't back squatted in 3 months. I'm a happy boy

This is not to take anything away from your PRs though, bro.

nah dude- strong stuff. i bet you can't wait to hit 300 on squats

you should add a 20 repper at the end of your next squat day btw

Thanks andalite and jdid!

on the 20 repper, I was thinking about doing 1 at the end of one of my squats workouts every week but am a little worried about overtraining, since I'm going to be running 4 days a week along with this other stuff

Yeah but when you squat 2-3 times a week heavy on the 5x5 and then miss 10 days it doesn't help. It would be the equivalent of you not squatting for like a month. My best 20 rep squat was a few months ago I think 185x20. I think I could probably do like 205-225 for a set of 20 now.

Glad: I like the idea of doing them every 3-4 weeks.

if you're running then it depends, but i don't think it would be that harmful to your times.. You're already squatting heavy- doing squats with significantly less weight and more reps shouldn't be detrimental whatsoever.

Man up and do them more often.... even my noob ass is doing them

That is unless you're doing your 5x5 strict and want to stick with it. How long have you been doing 5x5 for and how has your progress been?

Honestly I think 20 rep squats is quite harder on recovery than just 5x5. Also about manning up I have never found any lifting I have ever done to be nearly as challenging as a hard run, so you need to man up and do some cardio
