Well I thought I would just go ahead and try 275 today. Got 10 reps then had to rack it. Took maybe a 30 second break then got 3 more reps, racked it, took another 30 second break, got 2 reps, racked it, 30 second break, 3 reps, 30 second break, then finally the last 2 reps. Going to go for 12 or more reps before I have to rack it on Thursday. I would keep the weight on my back and just go to failure, but I just hate having to take all the weight off then put the bar back on the rack then put the weight back on and then go again. I'm probably just being a pussy.

Ah, good luck! I need to pony up and look into a meet and just compete for the hell of it. I'm not at the numbers I want to be at for my weight class, but I suppose competing sooner than later is more beneficial.
What is your weight class and what are your numbers?
Currently: DL - 465
Squat - 365
Bench - 285

Are you talking about 20 reps in one set, or allowing the bar to be racked, rest, and start again? Is this how you were doing 225 & 250?

about going too low or not low and health...appparently, tests have shown no difference in knee health between higher and lower squats 70-110 degrees.
I myself feel healthier going low..however it has to be acquired. Gradual depth until the flexibility is there. I just did smolov..the first 4 weeks my knees were sore..after this week (13 weeks) I feel better than at first!!

Wait. You're telling me that the president of the SPF told you to squat higher? Color me shocked.

Hit 405x21 a few months back. The fist 10 were pretty easy, the next 5 were OK, the last 6 SUCKED! That was pretty much my entire workout for the day. Did some light stuff then went home. And ate, a LOT.

question!!! when it says..take a weight you can do 10 times and do it 20..dont you find that to be a lie!! if you could do it 20 times in the first place, you should have gone higher originally.,

1: One exclamation point will suffice. Same with question marks.
2: Rest as long as you need to with the bar on your back until you can do another rep.

Did my first 20 rep squat last night..Last week I finished smolov. went from 235 full squat to 300..Then last night I did 215 x20..It took 2 min and 15 seconds!! was breathing hard. I think I could have done 225. But it was very hard. I did deadlifts afterwards..not really hard. And some back. today I am sore for the first time in over 2 months. The smolov is great too. After the first 4 weeks I stopped getting sore. But this 20 rep squat thing..how many days a week is good? 3?
