From this statement, it seemed to me that we were talking about the sleds (aka leg-press). Squats are squats, no matter how you say it.
[Edit]
I was at the gym just the other day (Tuesday if it's important), and saw a guy ~5'6" at ~160-170 lbs on the sled. He was doing high-intensity, regressive sets starting with 1000+ (9 plates on each side + the weight of the empty sled) for nine reps, then a couple of guys spotting would take off a plate each (-90 lbs). This guy continued for 3 more sets, finally ending at ~500 lbs. What was <i>extremely</i> amazing was that he didn't put the locks in place until he was completely finished with the exercise. 36 reps in about two, maybe three minutes.
