How many is all exactly?

Until I feel like I couldn't bear to do another?

You can do 4x8 or do 5x5 where the last set is until failure. If you make it further than 8 or 5 in the last set up the weight the next time.

>>37656373
a single third-world squat

Thanks!

yes

before i started squatting I first had to practice for a few days on hitting depth and not falling over since I have tight legs

but as for the actual weight I started at 165 for 5x5
>>
>>37656373
Also just to make sure no breaks right? Cause I got to 30 and and wanted to do more but it's more effective if you do sets nonstop right?

READ THE FUCKING STICKY

Try starting with 2pl8 and make sure to do them in sandals for safety.

Hijacking this, but is my lower back supposed to be recruited during the squat?

I feel like it is sometimes, usually on my last set.
>>
>>37656373

5x5. If it's easy, then you're not doing enough weight.
>>

No, not really. This is actually a different exercise, commonly called a "Good Morning". If you find yourself doing this while squatting, it's usually an indication that you're nearing failure and your form is starting to break down.
