High-Rep Squats - Progressive Overload 2

This was my third time doing high-rep squats with 205 pounds. In my second attempt on May 2nd I managed 30 total rest-pause reps before re-racking the bar. The mission today was to use the same weight but get more total reps. When I took my first short rest I knew I had at least a few more reps in me than last time, simply based on my increase in unbroken reps to start off the set. Then I just had to keep grinding, ignore the pain and fatigue, and get it done.

By the time I hit 30 reps my quads were trembling quite a bit, I was struggling to get adequate air, and my back was raw from the knurling. That's when I had to dig deep and knock out just one more, and then another and another... There's really nothing I have experienced that I can compare to the full-body agony of high-rep squats. Stairs may be a challenge tomorrow, which makes things interesting, since my office is in a basement.

If you want to skip the talking and jump straight to the squats, go to about the 3:20 mark.
