Squats - low rep or high rep?
I've been doing 25 rep squats for awhile now, they are pretty painful but i think my legs have responded to them pretty well. After i get done with them im pretty drained though and can usually only leg press for a set or two until im totally spent. Do most people do low or high reps for legs?

How low do you go? Like 6-8 regular body building standard?

Its perfectly logical that you're legs respond to higher rep training. Your legs are made up of predominantly slow twitch muscle fibers, if i'm not mistaken.
