Here's typically what happens when I do them. I say "typically" because I just want to make it through without dying.

Pick a weight heavy enough to be able to bust out 7-8 reps without stopping (pausing). When I get to about eight, I pause, take a big 5 or so breaths to regain composure, then bust out 4-5 more. Usually I'm good to go until 14 or so reps. Then I basically have to take 10 breaths (by now they're very shallow fast breaths) then go for 2 more, maybe another set of 2, then I'm just trying to make it through singles until I either hit 20, or the rep is such a slow grinder that my lower back starts really rounding bad.

Personally, I only go as far as my form allows. Usually that's between 17-20 for free squats.
