just tried some full barbell squats, and...

[dj181]

i was able to get 10 good strict full reps with 65 pounds, meanwhile i can close grip bench press 225 for 10 wtf

anyways, what's the best way to increase full squat strength? 5 reps, 10 reps, 20 reps, and how often per week?

i'm not looking to gain any size really, i just want to greatly increase my strength

even 185 for 10 full strict reps would be acceptable, but not 65 pounds

you should post this on the "Nobody gives a shit" subforum of this site

i used to train legs. then i started cycling, on a bike, i couldnt do it, got a pump in 60 seconds. so i stopped training leg. i tried again the other week on back day and managed two sets before it felt like my legs were going to collapse. i think its hard to combine an endurance leg sport with a power based one...

i used to be able to do 140kgs squats for two sets of 20 reps...

Squat develops very fast once you start hitting them. It's so exhausting all-in exercise that you feel like shit at beginning even if you have some training under your belt.
Don't know about "best ways" as I have very straight forward approach with everything in life; do it more and you get better.

Of course I'm one of the greatest squatters out there and hence qualified to comment

65 lbs not kilos lol

thanks for the feedback bro

yeah i know once you start practicing an exercise you improve your technique and skill at it just by practicing it, like shooting a basketball

supposedly low reps are better to increase strength but not put on size, especially with legs

Add 5 pounds to the bar, if you can do 10 good reps with 70, add another 5, once you get 10 good reps with that, add another 5, and so on...

[light weight baby]

i'd enjoy embarrassing you in the gym in front of all the honeys

A lot of low rep sets ( 3-6 reps)with 3-4 min rest  work wonders for pure power

Maybe you should enter the Crane Classics 
You can build good legs even with that small amount of weight.

This is getbig, so OP is using inflated numbers and was most likely only able to squat the ezcurl bar for 4 reps.

my life changes once I realized I could point my feet out at angle , rather that straight forward

[Dokey111]

I will give you a serious answer - stay with that light weight for a while.  But do them like this: squat down, and I mean all the way down.  Down to where you are basically resting in the full squat position. Count to three, Then come up.  Doing your squats like that will give you almost immediate increase in strength, you'll see.
