Quick question. In several of Pavel's books, he refers to the Steve Wilson deadlift routine, in which one takes 25%-33% of one's max deadlift, and does 2-3 sets of 20 reps, 2-3 times a week. According to Pavel and other sources I've found, this is supposed to allow a person to deadlift heavy weights when needed, by pulling light weights frequently in training. As I understand it, deadlifting 100 pounds for 2-3 sets of 2o reps, 2-3 times a week sets you up for 300-400 pound pull.
What about squats? Will high rep, lightweight squats have the same effect on a max squat as high rep lightweight deadlifts?
