5 sets of 5 with the weight constant. add 5 lbs each week.

Squats 2/wk (every 4 days)-

one day 5X5 @80% max/ the other day 3X15-20 @60% max...mixing it up works for me

2 -3 warm up sets increasing the weight to about 85% of training load then do 5 x 5, if hit all 5 sets for 5 , then increase next workout by 5%. stay on for about 4-5 weeks until gains stop and then switch to wave loading or reverse pyramid etc. Never really go above 6 working reps unless trying to shock body with something different

I always stuck around 5 reps for my heavy sets, but I got to a point where I was squatting too heavy, so I changed it to 6-8 reps and that seems to be working good as well
