Love the 20 rep squat workout.
It's not so much pain as it is a feeling that the weight is going to destroy your soul. It's really all mental fortitude for about reps 13+. I find it's just as grueling on my core, back, and shoulders as my legs though.
The DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness), which starts about 2 days later is the hardest to deal with. I've found "flushing" my muscles with a light jog helps, but it's still bad.
