Rep Range for Squats??

[BobbyJenious]

After reading another post I was curious what peoples rep range consists of when squating??

I usually warm up with sets of 8, then work the weight up to sets of 5, 3, then 1 (if it's a max effort day). I'm training for a PL meet though, so it depends on your goals.

took the words out of my mouth. except the PL meet thing, I am too weak.

I generally pyramid. Two warm up sets, than 3 work sets for 8,6,4 respectively.

warm up 8

then go down to 6, 5, 4, never really do less than 3

I don't think anything beats heavy, LOW rep squats (5 or less). Save the high reps for leg press or hack squats.

I think pyramding down from high rep warm up sets, moderate weight and reps in the middle of the set, to grinding out some heavy weight for 3-6 reps at the end is the way to go.

Still depends on your goals though...

I for one need to pack on some serious mass on my legs.
