I've always had a good squat. I love them. What's better though, reps or heavy weight. I can blow 315 out for a few sets of 15 reps. Is that too many? Should I load the bar and go heavy? IP: Logged |

for squats heavier is better so load that up to about 335 and squat away ------------------ IP: Logged |

To The Canadian Oak. What cadence is best? Should I pause at the bottom, or explode right back up? I mix up with both styles right now. IP: Logged |

you need variety bro,mix it up between a week of heavy and a week of high reps,you should also cycle your form,wide stance and narrow stance... you can even cycle the rep speed between exploding on the way up the coming up in a more controlled manner.. variety is key. sourjerk IP: Logged |

Yeah,I agree with sourjerk.Mix it up.For years I only squatted heavy with 12 rep max's.I'll tell you there's a lot of good from those 25 rep sets now and then. I wish I knew then what I know now. IP: Logged |
