I do 20 reps and increase weight by 10lbs every week. I'm working on stability though since I'm 6'3 squats are rough.

Those are big jumps!

6-8 has been great

Im Calisthenics Squats Only,

Either way is just fine with me.. whether 5 or 15..💯💯💯❤❤❤🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿😊😊😊

Failure means less volume in the week. Don't do more than your body can recover from in a reasonable timeframe 🎉💪🏿

Recovery is so important!

I do 12,10,8,6,4 reps. Not sure if its optimal but its worked for me.

try it the other way around 4,6,8,10,12, I don't know but that seems like it would trigger more adaptation in both strength and hypertrophy.

@@lucafalkenstein164 I tried this today on squats and I really liked it. Lifting heavy at the start when energy is high means I maintain better form on heavy lifts.

It’s optimal if it’s low rir. Thy simple

Normally start off high 12,10,8 then bump up the weight for two more reps of 5

You could also try going heavier with lower reps first, then stripping the weight and bumping the volume.

I do both

What about mixing it like 4x3 and a drop sets of 20? Would that be more fatigue than 8x3? Or would that be fine.

5 reps stims growth aswell as 15

While both rep ranges can build muscle, lower reps usually builds strength with less size, and higher reps will build visibly large muscles.

5 is easier

Anything over 8r is cardio 😂😂
