20 rep squat program if done properly has high potential for invoking vomit.
Done right meaning using your 10 rep max weight for 20 reps.
I did a drop set of squats starting with 10 reps at 285. I dropped 20, did 10 more reps with no rest, repeated until I had an empty bar. That's 120 reps.
I came so-o-o close to puking. I did drop to floor and, literally, didn't move for five minutes.
I also did this workout and came close (it's the time that kills):
Total Time: 10 minutes, 3 seconds
Squat
205 @ 7
205 @ 4
205 @ 4
Leg Ext. / Leg Curl
130/90 @ 7/6
130/90 @ 7/4
Bench
150 @ 8
Fly
55 @ 7
GC Press
135 @ 5
If it was the same exercise, I took a 10 second break. If it was a different exercise, I took as long as it took to load the weights.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.
Why would you want to throw up? So you can say you're badass?
Sounds like a waste of calories and protein to me.
I agree. Don't get me wrong, I've had plenty of intense squat sessions where I left my lunch in a trash can.
Why would you go take the time to research, buy, calculate, weigh, cook and eat your fuel to make your body grow and perform well, then intentionally leave it on the gym floor?

That sounds grueling! Nice job DOMS. 120 reps is quite maddening!
I'm doing UD2 and the depletion workouts call for up to 20 reps for 5 sets so I know what you went through. Doing 80-100 squats at 65% max, then 80-100 Deadlifts right after that... yeah, that gets you huffin in a short period of time!
