when he was younger he alternated between a rep day and a heavier day.
later on... he only hit squats like once every 2 weeks and went ALL out. some of his best lifts are
20 with 600
15 with 635
38 with 405
100+ with 225
and yes these stats are true.
those are a little bit off, MEF, Tom himself claimed 600 for 10, 495 for 23, 405 for 32 and 315 for 50, i had a Powerlifter Video that used to advertise in the back of PL USA and on that video he did 335 for 34 with a close stance and the last 4 were VERY HARD, so i'm doubting the 600 for 20.
