20 rep Squats

Monday I started a 20 rep squat routine.  For 14 days in a row, I'll do 20 reps in a row of a back squat.  I started with 165lbs on Monday.  This was very light and easy.  I will end the Sunday before Labor Day with 230lbs.  My 20 rep PR is 225.  I strongly dislike high rep squats, but want to shock my body before my 2 weeks in Destin.

I'm doing this in addition to my 5/3/1 training 4x a week, plus doing 1100m of rowing on my Concept2 daily.  Oh yeah, on 5/3/1 days I'm also doing 100 reps of KB swings with the 55lb KB (from FringeSport).

Today was day 4 and I squated 180, pretty easy again.  But I am sore and tight in my glutes and hams from the volume.  I'm trying to stretch and foam roll to help.  More to come...
