Bob,

The answer depends upon your current level of strength and conditioning, as well as your personal goals. 15-20 reps will burn out most trainees early, but if you are a more advanced trainee, you may handle the volume just fine.

Not knowing your circumstances, I would recommend you start with 5 J-SQs and 10 BW-SQs, but be prepare to adjust the reps and rest, even taper off the reps if necessary.
