10.
Much more than that and your form tends to get sloppy and you can injure yourself.
for me at least.

Mine gets sloppy after 3 reps

i'm probably good for 5-8. 10 is pushing it. 20 is... not smart in my opinion.

355 for 18 deathset

my training partner was screaming at me as I was lying in the locker room puking, screaming that I didnt get full 20

Screwed up my back for good after that one.

high rep deadlifts are a terrible idea imo, because your form IS going to go after about 10 no matter how much you lock it down.

i've done 500x20 with the shrug bar and the last 5-6 were very ugly indeed. never again

I have the same opinion of high rep squats.

Why DL for reps if you're training for strength?

yeah I agree, high rep squats are equally worthless.. I spent a couple of months doing high reps and lost an inch of leg size & over 50lbs on my 5rm when I went back to heavy training. They're good for an occasional one off change of pace or for teaching newbies about hard work but apart from that, fuck em.
