Don't get me wrong, I appreciate you trying to help but I'm not sure why you think 12 rep sets is good for anything other than the breakdown of form due to fatigue.

Oh dear, believe me I understand mate. The thing with an open invitation is that you have the right to deny the offer and I completely honor and respect your decision.
After all in field of power lifting as well as bodybuilding there is never one method of right way. Something that might work for me doesn't necessary mean it works for others
.Hmm, actually you have a good point about the reps. Since in power-lifting the goal is mainly to increase the strength, high reps can exhaust the nervous system and cause over training (getting cold, becoming moody, runny nose etc.). So you're totally right, I give you that.
There is a video that beautifully explains the number of reps, sets, time to rest between sets for different goals. It's worth the time checking it out, especially for the strength training (your field I assume) as well as hypertrophy (body building for building size). In my previous post I was starting with hypertrophy (building more of mass and size), then gradually shifting toward strength training to work on increase of strength on foundation of mass you've built.
Here is the video mate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxDaaFVXFyU
Any ways, bored you already.
P.S: My sincere apology to OP for spamming.
Cheers!

Should I hop in on this? Last workout I oly squatted 95kgx3 so I'm thinking my parallel squat is probably 110-115ish like some of you guys? Don't actually know though haha

I did some parallel squats on wednesday and hit 105kgx1 comfortably, psyched myself out and failed 115 though. I'll try again next time but otherwise I guess my starting weight will be 105 :d
