For strength, has anyone ever heard of the guys who will do like 2 sets of heavy squats, even on chest/tri or back/bi day? Like 2 sets of 3 at end of workout? If so, does it work for them? Been considering doing this for some strength gains on squat.

depends what your squat is mate, people who squat high ass numbers work better on intensity based work outs, like monday - heavy , wednesday medium, friday light, rest and repeat.
squatting often is totally fine but if you squat at literally 5 rep max intensity all day erryday, you wont progress that well, but if you squat like low numbers mate go for it.

Deep back squats kill the glutes!

People say there's no key to the door of success, so why not bulk and knock the door down?

The strength and conditioning coach for my track team has us squat three times a week, pretty heavy each time.
edit: He was an Olympic powerlifter too."It's not the will to win, but the will to prepare to win that makes the difference."

I tried doing the few very low rep low set squatting yesterday after chest/tricep workout. Liked it a lot. No / not much soreness because of the lowish volume to.Originally Posted by 1ntensityrules

Squat 2x a week personally. Went from 135 barely parallel to 225 below parallel in about 2 months. 5x5 all day but occasionally ill do a heavier set of 3 or 2 just cause.
