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
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)

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
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!
