He said to do this:I'm confused.
If you subtract 15.5kg from your 5RM and begin day 1 of a 20rep squat program, adding 2.5kg every session 3 days a week, you'll be at your old 5RM in 2 weeks, not 6.

That was long winded way of working it out, try this:
15.5 / 2.5 = 6 sessions
So perhaps he meant 2.5 a week instead of per session?

no reason why 20 reps system cannot work.
Read serge Nubret who trained with lots of reps on low weights (about 50% of max).
He did alright.

yes, true.
Point i am suggesting is that, as long as there is progressive overload and stressing of muscles, there should be improvement.
I read Nubret also benched 220kg, but who knows if true.

What does that have to do with anything there is nothing undoable about the programme in the link. Nothing beyond the work capacity of a natty, sure you aren't gonna turn into Serge after a couple months but most people natty or juiced seriously underestimate their capacity for volume.
