squat routine for strength

hey guys as im a sucker for when it comes to heavy squatting, I decided to ramp up to my max 8reps pf squats and add on weigt every time I hit the gym which is twice a week . I'm doing 90kg squat with a bw of 60kg. after the eigt reps I got the weight down to 60kg and do 15reps for volume. a friend actually told me that I could do that at least since I really hate squats.  I know there are those who ramps it up for a set of five and lower the weight down and do a set or two of eight. but in this.case im doing eight. amd so far I have beem progressing well  with 8resps.
before I stopped leg training about 8-10months ago after quiting basketball, I had a pr of 90kg for 5 repa which by the way, form wasnt solid. was more of a back workout than a leg workout. nthe 8reps of 90 im doing now feels rather solid and hits parallel.
what do you guys think of ramping up to a set of eight followed by maybe 12-15 rep squats? , or would I have to ranp up to ffive and do light seta of eight for it to actually workout okay?

"Performance during stretch-shortening cycle exercise is influenced by the visco-elastic properties of the muscle-tendon units. During stretching of an activated muscle, mechanical energy is absorbed in the tendon structures (tendon and aponeurosis) and this energy can subsequently be re-utilized if shortening of the muscle immediately follows the stretching. According to Biscotti (2000), 72% of the elastic energy restitution action comes from tendons, 28% - from contractile elements of muscles.
