Hella impressive dude! 20 is definitely there. If you actually went for a true 20rm for 8 weeks while cutting out the heavy work you could probably hit 420 or 430 for 20 reps. I think you would surprise yourself. I took a forray into 20 rep squats last year and it was a great learning experience.
How did you improve your 20 rep max? Did you pick a heavier weight and work with that until you hit 20 reps or did you pick a weight you could already do for 20 and increase the reps?
Amazing how the mindset going into the set can drastically change the number of reps. I think with the mindset of 20-25 reps, Jonnie could definitely achieve it. With that said, I’d like to start the petition for Jonnie to compete in the Arnold squat challenge in the future
_If I had legs like that, I’d find a reason to wear spandex pants as often as possible._ *Work:* “Yeah guys I just came from the gym this morning and didn’t have time to change into pants.” *Coworkers:* “isn’t the gym closed due to COVID?”
I do stupid shit like this once month just to make myself suffer. They say it makes hard things easy in the future. Last stupid thing I did was 245 for 10x10 on squats. Shit was horrible
This was incredibly inspiring and it pushed me to hit the subscribe button. I hurt my back (si joint) squatting in January and it was a frustrating month but I’ve pushed (patiently but diligently) all thru February and March and If all goes well I’m a few weeks from hitting a new PR squat (375).
I don’t know how you can do so many reps. Anything around 10 and I have a hard time catching my breath. It’s not that the legs are fatigued, it’s the cardio.
I’ve done sets where I’ve stood there for a good 5-10 seconds between reps towards the end of a set, makes it a bit harder holding the weight on your back but eventually your cardio will get better from forcing the high rep squats anyway
@@richardevans8908 I’m working on it right now. Finishing kizen 16 week right now. On fridays I squat 3x8 at 75% followed by 3x8 65% pause squats. I’ll get there.
Idk even know what I feel when I do over 10 reps, my cardio is otherwise good but the rate at which my heart is beating is just so hard and i feel it beat so hard after I put the bar down i feel like im literally killing myself, but during the set when the bar is on my back its all good, its weird
I use to only program 5-8 reps and straight up could not do more. I dropped down to 60% my 1rm and fought through 12 reps and started programming more volume. Seriously pushing through plateaus right now. Alexander Bromley book was why I switched and it was the best decision. Good luck. I think im gonna go at one of these 20 rep macro cycles
I just did 275x20 today, lifetime best is 315x17... 20 rep squats are the best gainzmakers of anything, just such a mental and physical grind. I love them. But I do breather squats... so not consecutive like you do. I normally hit 10-15 straight then take some breaths, reset and hit a few or singles until I'm done then rack it.
What’s most impressive about this set is there is next to no time between reps all the way through. You’re just smashing them out... Everyone else does breathing rep sets, the last 5-6 reps there’s sometimes 10 or more seconds between reps. If you did it that way, you’ve got another 20 or 30 pounds in you for a 20RM. Impressive dude.
Hi Jonnie, love your videos, always watch them before a session to get me in the mood. Would you ever consider making a video about what you do for injury prevention (mb if you already have). For me, I've been thinking a lot more long term recently, so this has been an interesting topic, though I only really know general advice, and would be interested in what you do specifically. Cheers :)
I like the Pierre beats. I remember watching that original 10 reps back in the day thinking Jonnie was a god then lol. Good to see hes still doing it, better than ever.
hoooooo! that was awesome Jonnie. Also, noticed that you're wearing the Hancott Strength Tee. Only the OGs remember him. Wonder what happened to him; he was on a really good comeback a few years ago but quickly disappeared from the internet. On another note, did you ever get a full interview with Jaisyn Mike? He surely is a pretty interesting powerlifter.
Have you been training at high reps at all? Just because i feel the hardest part is keeping form and focusing on breathing so you dont feel like you are dying and out of breath. Hitting a true 20 rep burnout set is hard to achieve, usually you will stop before truly reaching max potential just because it is basically cardio.
For a sec there i thought u literally only hit 1 rep in that first clip despite ur 10 rep goal, then i realized ur just showing the last rep from each set
Am I the only one seeing that depth was bit high according to Jonnies standards?:D Anyway, I love the content been watching for years, Jonnie you are a beast!
Hey man loved you in the muppets movie.. All joking aside I noticed that for my high rep squats what I do is make a game out of it so if I say Im going to do 20 I'll actually do 21 or 22 or if I'm going to do only 8 I'll do 10-12 it makes for a positive thought that I outperformed my expectations and makes me motivated to see what I can do the next workout
I’ve done this a couple of times. Currently programming for a 20x200kg/455lbs. I feel like they have great carry over for mental reassurance on days your not feeling it. What I mean is some days weight feels heavy but knowing you have done the weight for 20 reps before helps you get your mind straight.
*Imagine walking through your street and seeing this hunk of man meat banging out 405 for reps in his driveway*
That's why I do my squats in my backyard...it's less complicated that way
Awkward
ly AWESOME!
You said hunk of man meat then I saw your profile pic and it made sense
@@rubixcubesolve lmao
would beat my hunk of meet immediately
Jonnie is just BUILT different
Yeah he built thicc with those DAMN thigs.
Its the eyebrows man, they add +5 strength

If I drove by someone squatting 405 in their driveway I’d stop to chat and learn something
What if you were walking by and saw them squatting 405 in their basement?
That's insane dude, and coming off a hamstring injury? Wow. Good for you man. Wish you nothing but the best. Stay strong

Hey Alek
High rep squats are underrated
Hitting the nail on the head there mate.
Cutting out the heavy work is a massive factor. Work smarter not harder.
How did you improve your 20 rep max? Did you pick a heavier weight and work with that until you hit 20 reps or did you pick a weight you could already do for 20 and increase the reps?
I took 425 x 20 the other night and it was hella rough on the cardio as a plus sized lifter lol. I have a 405 x 21 on my channel.
Johnny when is the Spotify playlist coming out. Your music taste is ✨immaculate✨
Hit a lifetime goal of 405 squat PR recently, and watching this makes me want to hit 405 for reps haha. Awesome and inspiring video man!
You probably got more than 3 hours of sleep. Get a solid 2-3 hours of sleep and a special protein shake out of a goblet and you got 20+ easily
But should it be a DIVINE protein shake?
Don't forget, 1200g of protein and a good jasmine rice

Just hit 405 for my first time and about folded like a lawn chair haha much respect bro, you’re a beast 💪🏻
I’m just happy to be here
And I’m just here to be happy
I want you to never get hurt again, but I've thoroughly enjoyed seeing your comebacks from injuries from both a mental and physical aspect.
4 plate dinner date
My neighborhood needs more ppl squatting 405 for 10+ reps in their driveway. It would probably do good things for the crime rates.
I donno if somebody just squatted 405 for 20 it would be prime time to steal their shit.
so proud when you kept going to 18!!! go jonnie!!!
18? You got it next time, King
Damn bro that’s stupid impressive. I just barely hit 405 today for a single with shitty depth but I’m getting closer to my goals. Good job man

dude, that was awesome!! Congratulations, man!!
your lung and heart strength is very impressive.when i go over 15 reps im gasping for air like a crazy person
I benched 225 for 3 reps other night, I definitely had 20 in me.....

Stronger than 98% of men good work jonnie!
Pretty sure stronger than 99.9%, at least as far as squats go.
Jonnie the kind of guy to hit Lifter A numbers with Lifter B form #squatU
The Hancott shirt, I wonder what happened to him. I believe you had 20 for sure!

I appreciate that Sam Harris motivational speech in the middle of the set
Yeah that was pretty dope and unexpected lol
You should consider weighing your rack down with a few sandbags to prevent it sliding when you are trying to rack the weight.
Crushed that set man
Glad to know I'm not the only one with trouble finding flat and level concrete.
My mans listening to Sam Harris why setting a PR. Now that's motivation!
Outstanding Jonnie!

4:05 your grip actually gets worse when you put chalk like this on the bar. you just fill the knurling, making the bar less grippy
Nah its like grabbing something sturdy and grip is fire
I just want to squat 405!!!! Major props man
You had 20 in you for sure. Good job.
Good stuff Candito
its not the question if you can , the question is do you want to
Your getting into the Tom Platz world. Awesome job.
Excellent strength, excellent form !!!
You had it broski
High weight for reps is some real man shit. I did 195 recently. Propa
Next level content Jonnie
Awesome video!
you would have been able to do 22 in my opinion
What’s playing at 2:57 😭? I wanna hear the whole thing
That was definitely 20 . Definitely.
Also is that audio what was playing while you did the reps?
