I would advise you go heavier weight so your rep range is more 8-10, full squats. Keep the weights so your rep range is around 8-10 on most things. And don't set a number in your head and stop at that number......use enough weight to make the 8-10 range all you can do. Your first set would probably be around 10 your last set around 8. Now....that is a "range." So if sometimes you can only get 6 your last set that's fine.....and if sometimes you get 12 your first set....that's fine (probably a sign to increase weight). You'll learn when to increase weights by how the exercise feels....the intensity for you. And do NOT sacrifice form for pounds. Form is most important. Injury, as you know, causes huge setbacks. Keep vanity out of it. Feel the muscles, when things aren't feeling right, stop. There is good muscle fatigue, it's not painful. Sorry, I've gotten carried away here.
