question about 50 rep / 100 rep squats

[Juice]

I have seen crossift blokes to this training with sets of 50...starting with light weight....as far as i have seen it has helped their 1rm and also their BW squats...some of this blokes to 100's straight

By that token you'd only ever do 1RMs, and only in the powerlifts

I do only do 1RMs in the powerlifts...

I think he meant u'd only ever do 1 rep a set cos that's all that is required. U'd never need to do 5x5 rep/set scheme for example.

I actually had worse hammies than quads when I did my first 20 repper last Thursday (?). Second time round it wasn't nearly as bad (even if I did struggle horribly as im sure Markos will attest to lol)

Graeme did much better today.

Not sure if you call it doms, she's just a little sore, just trains through it

On Wednesday, Fat Dave squatted

180kg x 5
180kg x 3
180kg x 3
140kg x 10
100kg x 20
60kg x 30

Then on Thursday he squatted

120kg x 20
120kg x 20

My training partner and I started on 5 reps for the squats. Then we went to 20 reps for a few weeks, this boosted our 5 reps greatly. We went back to 20 reps again, and had epic fails

"It seems," my economist training partner observed, "that 20 reps translate to 5 rep strength, but 5 rep strength does not help you do 20."

20 reps is hard enough, I am not insane enough to try 50 or 100

High rep stuff is mental strength.

People rarely fail a 20/30/40/50 rep set, they quit.

I went pretty close the other night lol.

I think you're right though. imo half the battle with each rep is mustering the courage to go deep, once you're at the bottom fight or flight takes over!
