What rep ranges do you use for Squats?

[farzamk]

Regular squats, what reps usually?

[Jhawk Fitness]

It's really going to depend on that persons goal. Honestly you could, and probably will, see answers anywhere from 1 to 25+.

[farzamk]

Generally these are what the general rep ranges train for:

1-6: Strength
8-15: Hypertrophy (depends on person)
12+: Endurance

Specific rep ranges and what they train:

1-5: Max Strength
6-8: Functional Hypertrophy
9-12: General Hypertrophy
12-15: Muscular Endurance + General Hypertrophy
15+ Muscular Endurance

Don't forget the carryover effect.

Ya but mainly focusing on the specific intention of each rep range.

[dansta]

1-6 reps. i guess 8-12 reps for warming up....

Fair enough. With the general makeup of this board I'm guessing most will fall into the 1-6 (maybe 8) range.

Damn it has been almost a year since I have done regular squats.

I'm following smolov right now

so its odd. I'm actually suppose to squat 2 days in a row on this on friday/saturday.

For all of my lifts, and I only do compound lifts, I do 2 sets of 8, 2 sets of 5 and then finish with 2 sets of 3.

[Beastinthemakin]

this is a broad question.If it was for speed training i would use 4 or less. For size, i would use 8-12.

[ChiTownPredator]

I do both. 5 reps on squat day and 10 reps on deadlift day as a supp. Has been working wonders so far.

I know you do box squats a lot, but you should be doing regular squats as well.

[farzamk]

Sprinters should use all rep ranges up to 10 max. 1-8 for most. 6-8 reps is useful for developing general strength and functional hypertrophy. 2-4 reps for developing the required max strength, 1-2 reps for pure max strength and peaking in strength.

[watchandsee23]

I use the ME method so it is 5 and lower.

[farzamk]

Someone doesn't squat and someone does over 15 reps. lol.
