Yes. Look at the people who do SS, that's 45 reps of heavy squats per week, if you're gonna do 60 hard reps of squats per week, you can expect some serious leg hypertrophy.

I'm not sure about 3 times a week but I just did a 20 rep leg workout the other day and holy crap it felt awesome.
I usually don't go higher then 12 reps, nice to switch it up a bit.I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with Guess on it. I said, Thyroid problem?

What I'm getting at is there's a combination of factors. It's not merely one or two stimuli that effect us in a way to cause muscle mass to be built.
As for the progressive over-load, I'd recommend trying it by increasing the workload session by session (if a target rep # was met), while leaving the workload at the given weight the same set after set. Just a way that I've found works well for myself.

Depends on what you're referring to,if you're going to use your 20RM then no,the intensity is just too low.
Your better bet is starting with your 10RM and then rest-pause your way(rack and unrack not breathing style) to a set number,lets say 40.
More effort reps,more volume,more fatigue,more time under tension = muscle gains.The limits of the body and mind are unknown to most people.
