10x10 squats
Can't remember who mentioned to try this, but I did it the other day.
155lb x 10 sets of 10 reps, super deep.
Followed each set up with body weight squats 20-30 reps... That was leg day.
That was 4 days ago and my legs still ache!! Unreal. My gf gave me a dead leg and I almost smacked her into oblivion lol

Cj111, you were the member that posted the great calf routine that I am currently doing. Seeing how great that worked, I think I will have to go ahead and give this one a shot too. I have a few questions on the routine however.
Do you do the body squats immediately after each set, or do you have a brief rest period? Do you have a rest period after the body squats before performing the next set? What do you mean by "super deep" exactly? Below parallel? I suppose like most other exercises, the reps should be done slowly too?

10x10's have always sounded horrible to me. It's like taking an enema instead of a pill. Sure it might be a little more effective, something different, something new, but is all that really worth having to bend over and stick something up your ass? I say no.

I've done 10x10 on bench which I enjoyed. Squats are a whole different story. How much rest after the body squats. Next time try jump squats after your weighted squats. Just bring a bucket!

As far as body squats go I was just throwing those in randomly, 20-30 after each set.
I watched a video today how squatting anything less than parellel, aka half squats , are WAY worse for your knees then going ass to grass...I hate seeing guys in the gym load 3-4 plates on and just barely bend their knees and then shake on the way up, its almost disturbing

Thats the video, I found it pretty interesting.
I had a trainer tell me one time, this was a chic with a 4 year degree in sports medicine, that I was squatting wrong cause I was going below parallel...she says its bad because you use "momentum" to get back up...
Oh personal trainers I love you

God, I am ashamed to admit it; but I used to be one of those guys. I was under the impression that going below parallel was worse for your knees; but after reading this, I took it upon myself to read up on it (not that I don't trust you). I was surprised to read that it is better for your knees. My first instinct was "How could this be? You are going farther down, so you should be using your knees more," but it actually makes sense when you think about it. I am glad you informed me of this though.
I think because you see how much weight a lot of guys can squat, you want to do a lot of weight too. Also it is important to exercise with heavier weight in order to put on muscle mass; but clearly if that comes at the cost of poor form, then you shouldn't be doing it. You just improved my squat a lot. Thanks.

It's brutal, both physically and in the fact it's boring as all hell. Did this as a crossfit WOD, and was pretty sore after.

id be in a wheel chair the 2nd day after, i always have a 2 day layover with legs..odd....
when i last did that routine i did my first 3 sets OH squats, then next 3 front squats, then finished out with back squats, I was lucky to finish at 255,
I dont think ive ever tried back squats all the way through, i def put on size with this routine, my legs need volume to grow, i will go back on this in fall and see if i can bump my numbers up a bit and do all backs
