Stuart McRobert advocates for 20 rep squats in his hardgainer materials.

185 if you are between 135-185 bodyweight.
135-185 185x50
185-205 205x50
205+ 225x50
Squats. 1 continuous set. You work up to over a month.

Did 205x23 at 202.6 BW attempting 1 breath between each rep. Accidentally took 2 twice. Might have had a couple more but cardio sucked, I was tingling and might have passed out.

Re: ACTN3, hardgainers, training for the burn
Sorry for the crappy video but I clicked the wrong setting on my editor.
Results: 210x15, followed by 210x16.
It was really hard. Felt like more of an oxygen thing then a strength thing but it sure exposed some weaknesses.
