Squatting at the end is fantastic.
You can't go as heavy, so you really feel it more in your quads and not so much the stabilizing muscle groups.

just out of the shower, legs today was 5 sets leg press, 3 sets sldl, 3 sets squats (needless to say by this stage i was only managing an embarassing 3 plate a side for 10) finished with a fst-7 sort of thing on leg exstensions and then a couple of lying leg curls to finish.
my opinion, fucking ridiculously sore, awesome!

I started to after my quad tendon rupture. I cannot handle anywhere near the wieght I used to anymore. I do 315 now if I do them first. (used to be 600!) If I do them last I try to do 20's with 225 and it roast my quads and really my glutes too!

Definately a nice change of pace.I change up each and every workout so sometimes I end up with my last 2 exercises being hack squats and squats. Not always though. But it is sure a good feeling not being able to stand after a workout every now and then.lol

I always do now. Starting with leg presses and extensions is the only way I can get limbered up enough to squat fluidly and pain free. 315x25 as my last exercise yesterday.

I used to do bench press 4 sets to fail, deadlift 4 set to fail, 4 set to fail squat. Monday/Friday medium rep range (7-15) and Wednesday low rep range (3-7). I did this for a month and still have stretch marks on my back to prove its effectiveness. Probably one of the harder workouts I did.

I always squat at the end or near the end of my leg workout!! Usually one set to failure.. 20+ reps..
It's much safer on knees and joints because you can't go as heavy, but it still weighs a tone... You'll get a lot of growth this way!!

My hip gives me hell whenever I squat, so since discovering DC a couple of years back, I have loved squatting at the end of the workout.
The pre-exhaustion of the other exercises allows me to stress the quads with less weight, saving my right hip a LOT of pain.

My lower back thanks me every time I squat at the end of a work out. Less weight, less back pain.
