Considering how bad my back is, I really need to give this a try. I am convinced 90% of the problem is poor warm up and with something like this I could see plenty of time for the muscles to warm up and it would build the core strength I need. I really, really am getting sick of only being able to do hack squats and leg press.
3 warm-up sets and 2 or 3 working sets. I squat every quad workout, but I only start with Squats every other workout (and start with leg press on every other workout) otherwise my quads don't get enough stimulation (and my ass gets huge, haha).

I am usually shot after three, and my fourth set is a killer - I am done at that point. My form really drops off, so I go to heavy leg sled after three or four sets of squats.
poll time
I had to pick six because there is a gap between 6 and 9. I typically do 7 but the poll goes from 6 to more than 8 which makes it impossible to be truthful if you do 7 or 8 sets (post says more than 8 instead of 8 or more).
Maybe revise the poll so it says 7 or more so all the potential answers are covered.

not counting warmups i would say 5-6 the last 2 being balls out, everything.
Starting out i usually do 12, but finishing out i may drop to 8 reps but with far more weight.
Every so often i'l drop to 225 and see how many i can get after my whole workout. My record is 29. lol no where near platz's 100. but im trying

The other day did 3 warmup sets, a max set of 22 reps at 242lbs, then dropped to 4x20 at 132lbs with 30 seconds rest. Anywhere from 4 to 8 sets is normal, but the most i've done in a workout is between 30 and 40 sets of squats. On a HIT program i did only 1 set.
The important thing, which you should never ever forget, is that squats can cure cancer. So do them.

what kind of weight are people using in their rep's if any?

Warm Up Or Workout?
This Squat Warm Up is overkill. No one need to do 107 Repetitions before they hit their top set. (107 Repetition is what you do before you hit you set of 3 Repetitions).
Track Warm Up Example
You warm up would similar to a 100 yard sprinter's warm being:
1) Mile Run
2) 880 Yard Run
3) 440 Yard Run
4) 220 Yard Run
By the time you get to the 100 Yard Sprint you toast.
Minimal Warm Up
The point of a warm up is to prepare you for your all out top set. What you want to do the minimal amount of work to prepare you.
You want to reserver you strength and energy for that top set. That the one that really counts.
Kenny Croxdale
i do recall hearing some time back, some people debating if warm up's were any good, one study had apparently shown that most people's warm ups actually degrade their work out strength by up to %30 because they 'warm up' too much...
5 min cardio
2 warm up sets
3-4 working sets
