Here is a nice lil article on high rep squats.
http://www.t-nation.com/training/185-rep-squat-wor...

Doesn't even give percentages so it'll just be guesswork if I try this. I think for a natty there's little sense in doing such massive volume though unless you actively despise your joints.

I have squatted 100kgx35 and 110kgx20 but that was a few years back. Would need a lot of conditioning to get back to that.

Just got back from a week away with family in Poland for a wedding, so spent a week with people none of who train, so I was the biggest person there and constantly got told I look huge. It felt great!

First day back in the gym tonight, felt so small compared to everyone there haha

Well came 10th/27th today although not sure how as my placing in events would suggest 6th or so but hey ho. Cocked up on yoke (first time I've done that!) And set some new PB's for reps in x time

They're only novices so a win doesn't really matter at the moment even though I'd like one!
It's next year when the wins matter Britain's natural next year!!

And you have a nice pair of naturals.

I know why I'm not strong now. I don't have enough facial hair.

Are there any weight categories or is it open?

Just a open this time, there were u90 lads competing who did well considering!

Normally there's U80 (rare though), U90, U105 then opens

Where's everyone gone?

Well this week I'm trying 100 reps minimum sets and time of 50% of 1RM on every lift (except deadlift as I was pooped from comp). I'm very sore from benching
