Rep weight vs 1 rep max

[cracked]

I'm repping 100 Kgs x 20 for squats but can only manage 1 rep on 130 Kgs.
The internet tells me I should be lifting a lot more for my max effort- and an increase on the bar of 30 Kilos for the sacrifice of 19 reps looks ridiculous.
Am I training wrong, not built for 1 rep efforts, delusional or a combination of all 3?
I usually train in the 10-20 rep range. All advice will be considered.

If you're trying for 1 rep maxes you have to get your body used to handling the heavier weight, I'd suggest adding 10 kilos at a time and keep doing as many reps as you can. You'll be surprised at how fast your squat numbers go up.

Agree with Chaos . Getting the body (muscle fibers, tendons, etc) accustomed to the feel and use of heavier weight is important. Even doing  half squats to quarter squats (as part of a workout) with a much heavier weight across the back sets up and strengthens  the whole chain of muscles involved in squatting.  Good Luck

Thanks for the tips.
I did note that my legs felt very fresh even after repeated max attempts- so I agree it's probably a technique/training issue rather than a strength issue.

It's also a genetic issue, people with thick joints and much fast twitch fibers have more talent to lift heavy.

Lighter sets of squats turn the focus on the legs, on heavier sets it's on the midsection. So you might just have weak midsection.
