So I assume you've gone through the gut wrenching tear in your muscles, till the point your legs feel so pumped and torn that you feel almost numb? Before you push a lil more for the final 4 reps and lay dead on the floor.

Don't worry, I've been there too. Now what if I told you a man's done 180KG x 20 at a BW of 112kg?

I did the 20-rep squats today. Used 55kg for the first set, only to realize I still had energy after 20 reps, so I upped to weight to 65kg. The difference 10kg can make is amazing. After 10 reps, your body signals it's getting tired. After 15, it's starting to scream for mercy, and by the last 2 reps, you're on the verge of collapsing. Was on the floor for 10 minutes before I could get up and walk around again.

I know the weight is peanuts for a load of you people here, but I'm definitely happy I finished the 20 reps.

Woah nice one, that makes it 20 x 2. Try your max one set next time. Maybe 70kg?

Maybe, just maybe. xD That'll be next week's attempt. I'll be feeling today's workout in the morning.

i think i will give it a try next week. =.=
i did 10x10 of 65kg on tuesday, and even till now, my legs are very very sore
i guess i will try hitting 20 rep at 90kg then rest my leg for a week. =.=

You guise iz are hardcore squatter. Me iz are no good in squatting, but I iz good in squatting jamban long time ago though.

No good at it doesn't mean don't need to do. Its the king of exercises.

I love squatting, and not being able to feel my legs for the next few days.

john91 is right.
ya u can live without squatting, but if u wanna go further, then i guess u should... not saying u MUST, but rather should.
its up to u... ur body, ur decision. =.=

zeist, u r no good in squats?
hmm... then are u the type of guy that goes gym just to do ur chest and biceps?

I'll definitely try 10x10 out sometime. Though, I think I'd really have to get someone to keep track of the sets for me.

haha... take a paper and pen if u want... =.=
or use something to count.
maybe after each set, take a small plate and put beside u. haha...
if u see 10 plates, meaning, 10 set completed. =.=

Not a bad idea.

How the heck can you use a pen and paper or move a plate with the bar on your shoulders?

I thought you don't rack the bar until 20 reps is over?

if u would have read properly, it was set count.
not rep count...
read properly dude... SETS... =.=
hahaha.... tak payah wat the heck wat the heck...

Sets, mate. Not reps.

i think i stressed my right leg this morning...usually after squat ill go for leg press but only do 2nd reps my legs feels pain liao on my kneecap there...damn....then i stop and call it a day...hope can recover by next week...

i never squats before.
i did`n have a barbell yet.

But last week i tried 15kg dumbell squats for the first time.
i did 7reps 5sets. and then leg extention 5reps 3 sets. damn my leg sakit the next morning. you guys squats 50-60 kgs lol. totally owned me. haha

soon i`m gonna get a barbell and hope to start doing squats properly.

50kg- 60kg squats is very light already... for barbell la.
I hate dumbbell squats. Did 40kg x 10 x 10 with one minute rest between sets yesterday and my legs hurt a little today only. Instead my traps hurt more. Bleh... Sucky position...

Don't like doing squats with dumbbells. =/ I'd much rather do lunges if I only had dumbbells. The stretching feeling sure is something.

done it dis morning...damn you guys are nuts...i do warmup 1x10,then 1x10 and 1x20...after i did the 20s my traps hurt and i felt like blood is rushing up my head...nearly faint,sits on the bench for as long as i remembered and i dun dare to do another sets + skip my leg press...damn ....
