I was pondering this a while ago after reading a few Dave Draper articles but didn't get around to trying this out but I'm now really considering this.
Plan will be to warm up and then do a couple of sets of 5's up to a to a reasonable weight. Then drop back down to hit a working set of 20 where I'll probably have to use rest pause but without racking and unracking.
The aim is to try and increase this set each week by 2.5kg-5kg.

Good Idea Batman
20 reps for you after a couple of 5's will be about 120k maybe?

Great idea, I did a 2 minute squat the other day and it was pretty immense!
Once you get to around 1 minute the lactic acid build up is crazy.

120kg was roughly what I had in mind.

20 REP squats hurt like hell bt for a change can really get the quads growing. Im sure KP has done a "widow maker" or 10 as he does DC. One point near the end of the 20 form can be an issue so might be worth doing them on a smiths?

My form stays pretty good up to failure on these so I'll do them free.
I'll start at 120kg today and see where I am.
I won't have a mirror to use so will be more interesting...
