The most insane DOMS I've ever gotten was from this squat workout (when I was much weaker and not accustomed to high-volume training):

Squat:
235x10x3 (roughly 85% of my max at the time)

Front Squat:
(worked up to a few singles with 225; which was around 95% of my max)

Pause Squat:
185x3x3


It was pitiful. Every inch of my legs ached. I didn't know whether it hurt more to stand up or sit down...that DOMS literally lasted all weekend and carried into the next workout.

God I was weak...haha

This one is great if your goal is leg doms. Eleven sets of squats

Last time i did it, it looked something like this

3 warmup sets

Deep squat
8x245
8x245
8x246
5x275
5x275
5x275
3x310
3x310
3x310
3x310
3x310
+one set of high rep squats, 110 lbs or so, to failure (20+ reps)

Front squats (fast reps)
3x8x135 lbs.

Not eleven but 15 sets of squats. Brutal.

Pre-exhausted quads/hams/glutes/calves + Walking Barbell lunges = vomit & DOMS for a week.

...just to clarify, are you saying that I am likely doing the most pectoral work while lowering the weight, rather than raising it?
