I got 225 for 5 and 185 for 8 in the same session, but most people on here serious about barbell training probably have me beat. I've never really trained high reps for squats tho. 
Barbell SQUAT BIG PLATES FOR REPS CHALLENGE - 2023
- Thread starter Boris Bachmann
- Start date
Just finished a 5x5 testing for a new cycle Monday. Zercher squated the following for sets of five, 215, 230, 245, 260, 275, 290. 290 is Week 5/5 goal. I'll be using a SSB squat as my specialized variety movement. Hopefully next year I will hit 4 plates on the Zercher Squat.
A couple days prior, I worked up to 330 or a single rep. I felt like I could have gone heavier a bit but played it conservative for another day.

Technically it is. Retired people have hobbies.

I'm hoping to give the 100 weeks challenge a real go starting December 31st or January 1st - it'll be my new log "100 Weeks To A 500lb Squat".
