Brutal. Although after rep 6 they were 14 singles. I prefer to see a reduced weight and less rest between reps. Fucks you up even more.

I think he (if I remember ) would persist with this weight up until his conditioning improved and them progress

Certanly doesn't fuck you more. He is doing the old school 20 rep squats. The rough gideline was get your 10 rep max and grind out 20. It's much harder than using a weight that you could complete 20 straight reps with.

Not 20 reps in the standard way we do a set, one rep after the other. 20 rep breathing squats where the last reps end up being after you get 4 or 5 or more breaths in. I'm surpised I'm explaining this to experienced lifters.

So so no I wouldn't class it as a normal 20 rep max.

Lol I know what you were getting at man.
 
The 20 rep squat is not old school, although the 20 rep breathing squat was popularised by Peary Rader.

Back in the day and around about 5 Years prior to that time Dr Ken Liestner made popular the 20 rep squat, this wasn't just something you did on a whim the aim was as Bazza states, pick a weight that you can do 10 and do 20, and to improve over a protracted time, as you become more conditioned the pause between reps become less "metcon" it was usually part of a full body workout.

But the point I'm trying to make is whether you use 5, 10 or twenty you work it hard and do it properly.

Jesse was a strongman /powerlifter he did these workouts to improve his condition and strength in an efficient manner.

So pushing yourself to the limit and taking longer rests between reps as is physiologically required, was a technique popularised by Dr. Ken back in the day was it? You sure you're not just thinking of training hard?

Training hard was a technique popularised by kunce looking for maximum progress since forever and ever amen.

I don't even know what you're on about.
Maybe rewrite that.

All methods of workouts work, I'm sick of going over this time after time.
