Firstly why dont you pay a p.t at your gym to take you threw a session and show you how to squat PROPERLY. Technique is of the most importance before you start fuckin with load because you can injure yourself.

I used to squat all the time I'm not unfamiliar with how to do it.

Why are you asking for a squat routine then?

 

[Eric1987]

I didnt do a routine just threw whatever weight I felt like on and did it however many times I felt like.

it all depends what your current routine looks like and what your goals are

you need to see how many reps you can get a certain weight, then go here... http://www.timinvermont.com/fitness/orm.htm

It tells you what your 1rm max is, as long as calculating your 15rm, 10rm, etc. its fairly accurate, i say fairly because its not exact.
BE SURE to have GREAT form when youre testing your rep max, because if you don't have good form, you wont be able to have good form on the rest of your squats because the weight will be too great.

Anyways... you should be able to use that site to know exactly how many reps you can do with a certain weight and it should help you with your squat program good luck

+1 on front squats. The only other thing you should change is your mind. Front squats got me past the whole imbalanced, awkward feeling that comes with improving your form and tight muscles/tendons. Switch it over to front and get your ass to the floor and when you return to back squats, you will be amazed.

You want a routine? Try Wendler's 5/3/1.

Repeat many times.

Your squat will improve, and you will be strong.

Very simple, very effective. Stoopit easy, and you don't even have to think about it. There are spreadheets on the net to do all the calculations for you and a 6 week program.
