I can squat 225 pounds. I usually work between 185 and 200 for 3 sets of 8. My legs don't look chunky by any means.0

And for weight, I usually put on 120kgs/265lbs for strength training or 100kg/220lbs for hypertrophy
Squatting til you drop! And trust me, my legs are NOT bulky!
I cannot wait to be as strong as u!! I can only do 40lbs 3 sets 10 reps each.0 -
I squat 90kgs/198lbs.
My legs ARE bulky, but it's from the fat that's on them, not the muscle.0 -
If you want to keep your metabolism up while doing 3 sets of 20 squats, do them while running on the treadmill.
I do treadmills for 60 mins every time I go to gym. But not sure how do you do squats on treadmills if that's what you meant?; )
How &why.. excuse my dumbness... ⊙﹏⊙

I think he may have meant doing them while you're on the stairmaster or elliptical.0 -

Start off squats without weight & gradually add a little weight: ) I did this process myself!0 -

I would fall on my a** if I did that! (Probably through the floor too)
Edit: Ooops...forgot to add that I only squat with 25lb and didn't realize that I was supposed to be doing less reps! I was doing 20reps 3 sets (of course would give out at about the 15 mark the last set...ughhhhhhhhh)
I'm so green at this...but I'm trying!0 -

If you have a squat rack squatting in the rack is much better for you than squatting using the smiths machine.0 -
