There are no pathetic 20 rep squat sets. In fact, there are no pathetic squat sets.

If it makes you feel any better, my squat max is 500 and I started with 20 rep squats at 200 pounds. I worked to 235x20 over 6 weeks and that was about all I could hang with before wanting a break.

All that matters is progression, and it doesn't need to be rapid. One extra rep each week is 52 reps a year, which adds up to substantial gains in both size and strength.

You will be successful as long as you stay persistent and just try to do a hair more each workout.
