Who here can do 20 rep squats with 315?

I can deadlift 315 for 20 easy. Could squat that too if my groin would ever heal.

Just did 315 to parallel for 16 the other day and it wasn't to failure. No belt either or pad on the bar. Don't believe in them. I've been really relaxed with my legs lately since they grow so easily but Im going to be busting my ass on them alot more now.

Today I hit 20 reps with 295, I think in 3-4 more sessions I'll be doing 315, I go just below the hole or just outside of it when squatting.....these kick my ass, but they're awesome.

315x20... I'd put my chances at like 95%, never did a 20-rep set, but 315 isnt much (to me). Then again my legs are big and grow with ease.

405x20... Probably not, but I could get at least 10 solid reps to parallel.

The only squat that counts is ass-to-heel. That way, Im good for about 12 with 315. Shit, going to parallel or whatwever, I could prolly go for an hour!

An hour? I bet...hahaha. "Ass-to-heel" is bad form, bottom line, if you do "ass to heel", you'll fuck you knees up big time at some point eventually. Parallel is perfect form. It puts the least amount of stress on the knee. Anything more than slightly below parallel is probably doing more harm than good.

Also, if your gym has it, I recommend using the safe squat. At most gyms this consists of a 70lb bar with a padded neck/shoulder area and a grip for each hand. The bar isnt attached to everything, so you still have to balance, etc., but I've found that once a heavy enough weight is on there, balancing is fairly easy. The grips allow you to go further back and down without using improper form or balance. Many D1 football programs are now using this type of squat since it is not only safer, but less stressful on the joints and back, and good for those who have trouble/pain using regular bars.

315 for 8-10 myself, but I only weigh 165. When peaked on a cycle I can hit 475-515 for a single with wraps and squat suit.
