I've come to the realization that my legs are the limiting factor in my 20 reppers (surprise, surprise). What I mean is, I can hold on my back for a very long period of time several times the amount I can squat with. I feel like it's taking me too long to do my 20 reps. I feel like I need to train my legs more.
So, after working up to 325 for a single, I dropped the weight back down to 135 and did 2 sets of 20 reps as fast as I could (under control). Each set took approximately 70 seconds, thoroughly fried my legs and had my heart pumping something serious.
This is a good change of pace.

it was fine firehawk, yes the sorness gets a tad worse 48hours for me also, that can give someone a nice surprise.
friday, deadlift 295x12 (loosing grip) switched grip x4
I probilly took too long a break when switching grips, I'll know this for nextime, I'm still getting a feel for this, doing this with deads is REALLY brutal.
sunday, squats
230x21 (add 5) (10-20sec rest) 235x6
I absolutly maxed that last one out.
both workouts done first thing in the morning before eating.
again I "sense" minimal DOMS!

wensday 5/6/09
squat 231x23
okay now I'm getting too anxious here, this is the 3rd 20+rep workout I've done in 8-days, I did this last one just to show it can be that routine for me now, remember this is 50lbs over BW and DEEP knee bend!!!
23 reps was in my head, and thats what I got.
it's truely time for a layoff.
I may deadlift sunday?

I knew I didn't have it in me to do an all-out high rep set, so I went a little different and MAN am I sore today. I did 225 for 30 sets of 2 with 20 to 30 seconds between sets. That, plus some jump rope afterwards and you have my whole lower body workout yesterday.

monday
squats 232x10 (add 5) 237x10 (add 5) 242x10
I fought the governer to get under the third time,(20sec rest being key) I got some strength back on the first couple squats, but my breathing was going faster and faster, the governer told me to rush through this so I can be done with it, but I fought that so I would not burn-out, I could feel my brain controlling the breathing.
after doing this I see now I could even do 11,11,11 (or maybe 12's?)
same with a grueling set of 28, rack it add 5 and get 5-more.
now thats what I call "intense"!

I haven't really done any high-rep squatting lately since I've been on a cutting regimen. Last workout I did, about 5 weeks ago, I managed 17 reps at 95kg. Close but no cigar. My goal for the year is to do a 20-rep set with 100kg (225 lbs) so I'm not too far off. Just have to get under the bar again!!!

been doing high rep squat/deadlift/overhead jerks every week for all this time and don't plan on stopping, it's basically the only way I train now, it's like a game I play try and beat my reps everytime.
best part is I'm in the best shape right now, and I only train about 1/2hour a week.
I weight about 172lb now.
anyway-
squat-
180.5x50
188x49
189x52
191x43
deadlift-
335x12
337.5x11
320x15
285x20
290x20
jerks- (never putting bar to the floor)
135x16
138x16
146x13
149x11
thats just my top numbers now, I'm hitting over 40reps in the squat routinely now.
