4x5 or 20 rep Squats??

Try deadlifting and squats on the same day. Just be sure to get plenty of rest between excercises. Its what I do.

dont do this... back and legs are two big muscle groups... no one should do them on the same day

Yea that would be to much for me.. My back day is not much, but since I do some heavy deads I am sure I don't need more than this (FOR NOW)

I do 5 sets of deads with the last two super heavy to failer, usually 4-6 reps
I then do 3 sets of pull ups own body weight to failer.

That's it for my back, and my entire back ( and rest of my body ) is sore after that like crazy...

To add in legs aswell would be sucide for me

Deca's right. And NewKid said it, 5 sets no less than 15 reps.

Here's my leg routine:
Monday
(Quads)
Squats 5 * 15 reps
Inner quad leg press 5 * 10 reps
Leg Extensions 4 * fail
(Calves)

I do deads for back on Wednesday. However, I also do deads to upper shin on Thursday, w/ Hams (much less weight, of course)

Yeah okay. Sorry about that...but it really does work for me. But back to you.

Maybe you could try working to soreness every other week. One week workout with high intensity and the next week do kind of a pump day with lower intensity. Then repeat. Do you see what I mean?

there's a guy that works out at my guy who plays lacrosse for a local univercity he does 5 sets of jumping squats for about 10+ reps, he doesn't count reps for any exercise. this dude is the cuttest and best fittest guy in the gym, he doesn't lift the most but could run circles around everyone else combined. his endurance is is insane! and he looks like poindexter glasses and all
