When it comes to squats, what have you found to be the best for quad development and increasing strength? Few sets/high reps or multi sets/low reps. ------------------     | ||

On squats, I'd say that it would be better to keep your reps low. But you can do higher reps on the leg press machines or hack squats. You need a variety of reps/weights for perfect legs, but for the size, low rep high weight squats are best. | ||

I like to do either very low reps or very high reps. Try doing 6 sets of 10 reps with 225 or so. Go as deep as possible and only wait 60 seconds between sets. Slowly increase the weight every week by 5lbs or so. I did 300 that way a couple years back. Puked in the snow after my 5th set too. B True | ||

You can benefit from high rep and low rep squats. the folling rep routine is what I use in my squat workout: 1st set: 15 reps, warmup 2nd set: 10 reps, warmup 3rd set: 15-25 reps failure 4th set: 8 reps failure 5th set: 12 reps failure 6th set: 6 reps failure btw, I got 27" quads... thought you'd like to know (I'm 5'7"... a "midget" LOL) | ||

I agree with Valtez.. Although I do not do as many sets I am getting good results with squatting low and high reps.... I used to go low all the time untill I stopped progressing... I like 12,6,6,12 ------------------ | ||

if you want to puke and get a growth hormone surge try this: 10 sets of 20 rep squats: you will die slowly rolling on the floor. Pick a weight you can do 20 reps comfortably AND DO NOT QUIT UNTIL YOU ARE DONE, NO MATTER WHAT!!!!! |
