    why the higher reps? I go heavy azz to the floor drive the weight up and repeat, by 5 I want to pass out 6 is sure torture and 7 is just the end. This works for me, maybe not others I am 6'2'' and have a 29.5'' quad. I wish everythng else grew like my d@mn legs

    i work up to a heavy double or single when im getting ready to max out. Nothing over 4-5 reps before that unless its a warm up set. granted, im training for sports, size, and strength. works for me though

    As far as wanting to build mass I wouldnt go any higher than 8 reps, but if your wanting to shred up Id use 12-15 reps.

    I'm with ripped.

    20 reps for first set.
    15 reps for second
    10 reps
    8 reps for all other sets

    I will drop down to 6. If I'm trying a new weight I'll just go with however many I can get, could be 3 could be 10?!? (It was 3 last time)
