.... this:-
Last week on squats I did something like 60kgx12, 100kgx10 (warm ups) then 120kgx12, 140kgx8, 160kgx5 170kgx1 (failed 2nd rep) the 100kgx20!
Just got an urge to do the 20 reps. Is there any benfit in doing low rep and high rep in same session?
Althought, still cutting i train for size rather than strength
Injured!! Squat 170kgx1 105kgx25 Dead 200x1 Decline Bench 80x6

Backdown sets are quite common, might help a bit with recovery.

cheers find it my best exercises really. Did 175kg for 3 last night but they werent that deep had no spotter and didnt fancy ditching it on the pins  . I trained the same way last night too. I enjoy it actually. As a side note on dead i plan to do a triple, double and single once a months too, between those times just do 4x6-7

Can't see any reason why not mate - provided it doesn't negatively impact recovery rate?
Actually sounds like quite a good idea.
