20 Rep Set. That’s right, just a single set of 20 reps. I dare you to try it. And if you’re successful, come back next week and add more weight. The 20 rep squat set is one of the most popular way to shock your legs, and it has stood the test of time.

Heavy Singles.  Load up the bar with 80% of your one rep max, and squat. Rack the bar, take 5 deep breaths, and do another single. Rinse, repeat. When you can perform 20 total reps using this technique, increase the weight by 20 pounds.
