High rep squats are something Rich introduced me to recently. I found they tax my endurance in a way I have never experienced before, and seem to stimulate overall growth. I have zeroed-in on 20-reps being the sweet-spot for the best benefits. This is not a new discovery, as 20-rep squat routines have been around for quite some time, with numerous testimonials to their effectiveness.
I have been liking them so much that I have decided to embark on a complete 20-rep Squat Program. The traditional 20-rep Squat Programs call for full-body workouts, 3-times a week. My routine is personalized to have alternating upper-body groupings with each squat workout. Workouts will be performed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Workout "A"
20-rep Squats
Calf Raises
Leg Curls
Seated Dumbell Curls
Standing Press
Tricep Extensions
Workout "B"
20-rep Squats
Calf Raises
Leg Curls
Bench Press
Seated Row
Shrugs
Today is the official start of my program. My bodyweight is 194 lbs, and my current Squat is 185x20, which was performed on Monday, Dec 25, 2006. I will continue to chart my progress with this routine.
