If you can maintain quality during a 20 repper than I'm afraid you may be missing the point of the "20 rep squat". It's not doing 20 reps at your 20 rep maximum, it's more like 20 reps at your 8 to 10 rep maximum.

They are called "breathing squats" in the old-school lingo after the breaks you take for breath. This is post-failure training and I do not buy that anyone can maintain "perfect form" doing that.

It ain't about form by a long shot.

The whole point is that you were supposed to stop at rep 8, lol, but instead you keep going to 20 during the same set. So to stop during a 20 repper before form breaks down..well, that's a day late and a dollar short.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
