How many reps on 100kg ?
Cause of a few things.
When you start training, first months/years you'll see progress when just doing an easy pyramid. for example 12*40, 10*60, 8*80, 6*100. Is enough to keep progressing.
For this reason, untill you can squat around 140, there is no reason to do more stressfull stuff like one rep max or multiple worksets on higher weight (4*6*90 for example). It creates unneccecary damage and stress your body doesnt have to deal with yet, and your core isnt ready for eighter.
When doing at least 4 reps, when doing such "increasing weight" instead of "multiple times same weight" or "multiple times same weight with short timed breaks between sets" your muscles will not hit into their fatigue. Therefore, you wont have a perfect first set, and a shocking drop in strenght by the time you hit the 4th.
Therefore, on squat, you wont need a spotter, and on benchpress, even a girl can spot you.
Not joking here, when i did bill star (5x5,example : 5*40,5*60,5*80,5*100,5*120,) i had my girlfriend spot me at benchpressing. If i didnt make set 4 or 5 it was only a handfull of kilograms to get it up. When i did squats i used the safety pins. If you arent making the set, go back down and roll it off your back onto the pins.
With 100kg thats allright, the stress isnt excessive enough to make it a problem
ALso, to many meatheads in a gym that dont know a fuck about a proper spot in squat or benchpress. Only use spotters you trust.
And when it comes to squatting, remember kids. Go deep, or go home

Your breakfast is bigger then mine. HOW CAN YOU EVEN RUN ON ALL THAT
Coffee contains caffeine, and gastrin. Caffeine when absorbed in the blood, will act as a regulator for the peptide cholecytokinine.
Both gastrin and cholecytokinine, stimulate the contraction of the large intestine. This is what commenly causes the host to release their bowel about 20 minutes after intake.

good good. Now what are the goals you would like to reach, and how much time is between these 4 sets ?
Are you doing leg presses, extentions and curls after the squats ?
What is EMS ? Is that the vibrating plates ?

You need to trust a spotter. I fucking hate getting spotted on a bench when people hold the bar, and i only ask for a spotter on my squats, that knows how to spot it.

Good. Try to make shure when you go back up, that your knee's extend in the direction the feet point, but that you dont cross more then 10 cm. You can cross a bit considering your lenght. Try to make sure you dont "drop" the chest and turn the squat into a half good morning. Since your quads feel the burn, i assume however that these two things are allright.
Hitting dept is important, it adresses the glutes, and gives the quadriceps the full ROM. I assume you can do the squats in front of a mirror (gyms should put a mirror behind a squatrack, so you can judge your form. Both the glutes and the hamstrings should be lower then the kneejoints at the deepest point.
If you are doing that, keep doing what you currently do.
One question tho, is the goal of your leg day increased strenght, or increased muscle size and definition ?
