HEy all
One of my aims for this year is to increase my squat.
I want double bw, and 20 reps at 1.5bw
Now what will be the best way to do this , currently i do sets of 5 working reps upping the weight as I feel I can, occ I do a few 1rm to see if my max is getting better, ..not a lot of gains here. (well 20kg last year)
I want to start doing bigger rep sets , sets of 20, as it seems to be a general consensus that it works.
so target is 1.5 bw for 20,
should I just work up as usuall until I get to 105kg, and everysession just see how many i can get?
OR ( this seems better to me)
choose a lower weight and attempt the 20 reps, if i get them , add weight? IF so how many sets of 20 should I be doing a session / day?
I will probably do squats on two days a week, with deads and cleans being the focus on other days.
Thanks.
Car pushing is great. My clients aren't quite at that level yet but they all push my motorbike up and down the street with me on it riding the brakes.
3. A burn day were I do 3 sets of 20 reps..or will that be too much?

Trust me, when you can do 20 rep breathing squats with 1.5 x bodyweight, you will be able to squat double bodyweight, without ever practicing your 1RM.
