Squat Workout

Here's a squat workout I did last night.  Keep in mind this is not really a beginner routine--I would recommend it only for those who have been training for a while and have developed good form, etc.  This routine designed to hit all the fiber types in the legs/quads (fast twitch and slow twitch).

Here goes:

*Warm up and work your way up to a set of 5-6 reps.

*Drop to 90% of the weight you just did.  Try another set of 5-6 reps.

*Now it is time for your high rep set.  Drop the weight and do a set of about fifteen reps.

*One more: drop the weight again and go for a set of 20-25 reps.

I'm assuming a more intermediate/advanced trainee would know how much weight to use for the before-mentioned sets. 

You'll rest between all of these sets (including your warm-up sets) as you normally would (maybe 2-3 minutes between sets). 

I did this last night and had a great workout.

This works because the legs tend to have a wide range of fiber types and respond to higher reps.  Just remember this is for advanced trainees.  I'd recommend something like Muscle Gaining Secrets if you are a beginner looking to get big and strong.  More intermediate/advanced trainees should check out Minimalist Training.
