Squats only routines

[Portillo]

I was wondering what the pro's and con's would be of a squats only routine? Meaning just heavy squatting, and no other exercises.

How about a 20-reps squats routine ??
It basically is one set of 20 reps, then BW assistance exercises.

You could try Smolov that would increase your squat greatly and due to the intensity it won't be a problem if you don't intend on doing other exercises but some b/w stuff or doing bench/seated press with it wouldn't go amiss (things like deads and OHP should probably be avoided if you doing Smolov for Squats as far as im aware - if you search the main page Mehdi has a couple of articles about it).

Why do you want to only do squats?

^ No reason in particular. Except that i could focus all my energy into the squats and not worry about deadlifts, OHP and bench presses afterwards. But im still a beginner so im gonna stick with Stronglifts.

I'm assuming you mean a squat only workout, as opposed to a squats only program?

I was bit confused. I didnt know that squats only routines included other exercises.
