I didn't exactly follow the program, but I did 10x3 squats once a week. I started at 75% (max was 275) and added 5 pounds a week. The first 2 weeks were tough, the next 4 felt pretty easy, and then it started getting hard again.

Last few weeks:
245 - 10x3
250 - 8x3
255 - 5x3
260 - 3x3
265 - 3x3

I could probably continue the cycle for another couple weeks, but I have a couple races coming up so I'm going to ease up on the squats and come back to it over the winter.
