Recently i've been squatting heavy, usually sticking to triples, doubles, and singles. I used this method to achieve a new PR, which i've hit twice in a row now. Instead of going into the gym and doing the same rep scheme, triples, doubles, working up to a heavy single, i wanted to try some volume.
If i throw in some volume, such as doing 7-8 reps vs only 2 or 3 per set, while also performing 6 sets will this be a waste of time? My goal right now is just to increase my 1 rep max. I don't want to spend a week deviating from that, but I think throwing in a day like this would be beneficial. Can anyone give me some advice??
I've also been performing the same triple, double, single pyramid for many weeks now consistently.

To be honest chamges to desu.
Try 20 rep/breathing squats, its an old school technique. A weight you can squat for ten or twelve reps, forced out to 20.
You can find programs built around it with a quick google or look on T-Nation m8

I was reading pic related last night and the authors talked about this I think.. something about protein synthesis when high volume vs high weight.. something like if you do high weight and low reps or lots of reps but little weight.. sometimes you end up with the same thing because you are doing same volume.. i duno you need to read that shit it's all scientific and stuff.. the opposite of what you will find here of course.

lol i get what your saying
Squatting 1 rep of 300 vs squatting 3 reps of 100
both instances you squat 300 lbs, so the volume is the same however there are still many differences. Really im just curious to know if squatting similar if not equal volume, but with a different CNS stimuli will push me in the right direction to my goal or not... I'd like someone to give me some info about that from experience
I was thinking of doing 275 triples for as many sets as possible, or like 245 6x6 or 225 10x10
