"It' gets easier but as your numbers go up, your goals should move further away so it's kind of a wash.
I would not have imagined squatting a month's worth of sessions in a single week on a regular basis when I first started lifting.
As for the rests, it all depends on the intensity. At under 70% 1RM I kept it between 1 to 2 minutes. Longest rest period today was 4 for the top set, then I decreased the times as the weights went back down.

Another fat bish and DYEL mans showed up. fukkboy set up a 135 lb squat (he was backwards in the rack, didn't hit depth); only 45 lbs for her, didn'thit depth either/ 95 pound bench (she skipped it)/ 75 lb trap bar (including the bar) dead circuit.
Her mans ended up getting pinned on the bench and apparently doesn't know how to do the roll of shame. His spicy HAWG had to help pick the bar off his bytch ass.
I stood about 9 feet away and just watched.
He then proceeded to do another set of feet-up DB flyes before they hopped on the treadmill and walked for 5 minutes then bounced.

Pretty much the same for me, or at least until my legs tell me to stop being a bytch and get back under that damn bar

Most folks that squat only are squatting 2 or 3 times a week max. When you squat everyday you unlock new powers and become a physical god.
shyt powers up your squat, deadlift, rows, and bench. That's why I call it Sage Mode.

day three of squatting in a row
The guy next to me had 225 loaded up and proceeded to have a full FaceTime convo with someone as I was squatting
He ended up less than quarter squatting it for reps

I don't recommend anyone doing this until they can squat at least 2x bodyweight and have their form (either high- or low-bar) dialed in.shyt works like clockwork but if your form is off you're adding potential overuse injuries plus poor squat form = fast pass to Snap City.
Also, volume is more important than frequency for newbs IMO.
I go a thumbs distance away from the start of the knurling, so my ring or middle finger is on the ring.

I weigh 153.8 and can squat 315 for 2 or 3 so i just made the cut
I think my forms pretty good tho cuz i usually feel great after squatting, i think i might start holding the weight before i rerack after my top bench set it migh help me getting used to holding that much weight

But are you weak on the bottom or weak on the re-rack?
I'd worry more about pausing each rep (vs. benching touch and go) versus holding the weight at the top.
I've never heard of anyone doing rack walk-outs for the bench press.

I think midway is where i start having problems, i usually bring the bar to about half an inch or so off my chest pause for a sec and then rep none of that bouncing shyt i be seeing. To be fair ive made good gains imo (185 for 3 >> 245 for 2) but at this point im just addicted
My pecs are underdeveloped tho cuz i wasnt originally benching when i started lifting so its probably just in my head
