T-Nation: Speaking of stupid shit, or rather, crazy shit, a section of your book Strong Enough?: Thoughts from Thirty Years of Barbell Training talked about the mental benefits of 20-rep squats. Can you go a bit more into that?


Rippetoe: This isn't something I dreamed up. Strossen's written about it. Perry Rader's old programs from the '40s and '50s involved 20-rep squats. 20-rep squats are not a beginner's thing, because beginners can't possibly do them correctly. But for an intermediate lifter who wants to take six or eight weeks and grow some legs, 20-rep squats do a marvelous job.

It does make you tough. But most people can't stand to do the damn thing. If you're doing it right, you won't go more than six or eight weeks. You just can't. At least I couldn't, and I'm kind of stupid about that kind of stuff.

For an actual, no shit, set of 20 squats, you're going to pick a weight that you previously thought was your 10-rep max. And you're going to do 10 reps with it. Then you're going to do the 11th rep, and you're gonna breathe a little bit. And finally, you're gonna finish the 19th rep, and Jesus is gonna be talking to you about this time.

Then you're gonna finish the 20th rep, and you'll somehow get it back in the rack, and then you collapse. You'll get tunnel vision and your hearing will change while you're trying to catch your breath. All kinds of weird peripheral central nervous system effects will take place.

What you normally find is that you're laying on the ground, and you think, "Oh my God, I'm so glad that's over with." And then after about five minutes, the realization occurs, "I gotta do this again next week with another ten pounds. Oh shit."

Most people can't deal with that for a long period of time. But it's terribly useful for short periods of time.

Mod, can you please move this to Bodybuilding & Strength Training section?

thanks

you might be kidding right?

without strength how to squat body weight(body weight not refering to your BW but is the weight of barbell same as your BW)?

when the time you reach 15th reps onward, your body will shout for STOP!!! lol

i found that our mind and body is amazing, sometime we squat for low reps, around 5 reps, it is hard to finish the last reps, but if you set up your mind, you can really push yourself to the sky. lol
i donno hw to describe...erm in this way perhaps
today i was doing 5x5repx70kg squat, last few reps like quite tough
but hell man, last time i can finish 1x20repsx 85kg without any problem? Mental!

it's just your mind, if you are sure your form is correct, add 2.5kg every workout, you will amazed with the result! body adapt the load very fast

how much u did?
