How much do you squat for reps?

Every now and then, the heavy weights seem a bit too much to handle on certain days. However, I figure I will not myself get off the hook that easy, so I incorporate ways of torchering myself to get a good workout. This can be accomplished by squatting for several reps.
Legs are really thick muscles and are capable of handling extreme stress. Refer to Tom Platz and his methods of training during the 1980's.
If you try something like this, be sure to have a trash can or a bucket close.
With the DC method, I shoot for 4-8 difficult, then 20. I will not deal with really high reps for a while.
To answer your question. . .you can perform this as often as you like.

Monday I did squats (olympic squats, ass to ankles, no belt or knee wraps)
On squats and GMs I like to concentrate on the 70-85% of 1 RM range. For me, doing deep squats, thats about 125 to 150 lbs.
3x115
3x125
2 sets of 3x135
2 sets of 3x145
3x150
Felt good so I went 1x160 easily and then tied my previous PR with 1x175.

Loudin,
I know all about Mr. Tom Platz and his insane legs. I do not have the sauce that he had but I get the idea. Good shit man. I will have that bucket close and I definitely wrote that in my previous post. No doubt about it, I am doing it next week and I'll post it. Thanx!!!
Seabass,
your an animal. So young and so much growth!
Tarheel,
Congrats on the PR man! I know you tied it but next time you'll break it!

when i was 14, i could do about 235 for 8 or so. i cant remember very well. now i'm at a pathetic 205 for 5 sets of 5. cutting time, so those weights will drop even more
there's a kid at my school, 17 years old, squats in the mid-700's in competition. i wish i could do that. lol
