Hi Guys
I have been reading on the forum about the 20 rep squats , well if you want good strong legs try the 100 rep squat or as i do now 100 rep leg press cos of age 62 , when i first started them i used an empty bar for 25 reps then onto 50 reps then 75 reps gee do you get fit then made the 100 reps , then started again with small plates on bar for 25 reps building up to 100 reps then adding weight as i got stronger you felt like you was walking on a cussion of air with the power in your legs and feel the same today just a older version, this is some thing that was started in the 1940s by a body builder named steve reeves mr world & mr universe , over the years i have tried the 100 reps with different body parts , through this i was able to lift really heavy weights in my younger days 1960s & 70s today i still play with this but very light weight , if any of you guys do try this please give some feed back as these old training methods really work.
 
ive done 100 reps a few times in squats over the years.. would have to check my early journals but pretty sure I did 100 with 60 and yeh it was killer.
 
I did 65 with 60 once. That was plenty :D

Fadi did an article about 100 reps and capillaries once. It was a good read.

yeh I know markos has had a few clients do 100 reps.. The reason why i did 100 reps was because someone from PTC did it.
 
At PTC

Nick (NPR).............................. 60kg x 100
Ryan (Brocky)......................... 60kg x 101
Fat Dave (Pregnant porpoise).... 60kg x 120

Back in the day we did them at Tarzan & Jane (circa 1989)

Ivan 60kg x 88
Pete 60kg x 100
Spiros 60kg x 103
Markos 60kg x 107
 
That was ages ago when we did that. Jovi was still training at PTC so I couldn't have been squatting more than 185kg.

Wonder what I'd get now.

Certainly not game to actually try it again though!

But Nick, Spiros has done more than you and I have seen what he is like when he beats you at something.
