Rep Range for Squats??

"squatting too heavy"

hehe! wish I had that problem! I guess from a PL point of view, there's no such thing!

still got the tangerine speedos NS?

I was up to 455lbs for sets of 5, ass to the floor, and it was making my body hurt way too much, so I dropped it down to around 405 and feel much better. But its all about progressive resistance so I'll have to start adding again.

I do still have the tangerine grape smugglers

Did you up your reps when you dropped down to 405??

yup, I was doing 5-6 reps, went up to 10 reps on 405lbs

Did you find one more beneficial then the other for growth (Lower versus higher reps that is) ??

4-8 reps seems to make me get stronger and bigger week by week

my tactic is to shoot up to 80% of my max and increase by small increments as the sets go by

ie instead of your average guy doing 60kg then 80kg then 100kg then 110 kg or something like that, i go from 60kg (warmup) straight to 140, then slowly titrate it up (depending how strong i feel on the day). on a good day (a very very good day) ill get to 180. going to 160 is becoming more common though, as i slow reps down

hard to say, 90% of all my leg mass was built in the low rep range, but in the last few months I was able to add another 1" to my quads. Maybe the change is what did it
