I felt great about it. My initial test results were 45, now I am able to perform 200!

I performed 3531 squats since June 25th! I definitely suggest you the program!

Next is lunges and pushups.

Hello!

First of all, (17 yrs old, 61 kg) I thought of taking two challenges at the same time ( r/100pushups ). So my schedule was like this;

• Monday - Squat day 1
• Tuesday - Pushup day 1
• Wednesday - Squat day 2
• Thursday - Pushup day 2
• Friday - Squat day 3
• Saturday - Pushup day 3

My initial tests showed that I was able to perform 10-12 pushups and 45 squat. I started with the 3.week and 3. column on the squad, but pushups were really hard for me. I started with first week and second column. I wasn't strong enough somehow.

But I moved on with my squat challenge.And I just performed my second exhaustion test, which is at the end of week 5.

What were the results?

this is my account if you're interested in numbers. (Click squats logger on the left menu. I also added few notes.)

You can see how much I improved thanks to this program.

I started with 45, and today I just performed 150 consecutive squats. Along the way, I performed 1933 squats(exhaustion and initial results excluded). This program has helped me a lot. And I suggest this program to everyone.

Notes

When I'm done with this challenge, I'll keep on with both lunges and pushup challenges.

I know this community is not very active, but i just wanted to mention that my day one of squats is done. It hurt very much and i wanted to quit but i did not. My non zero day.

I'm so new to this. I'm basically a twig. 5'2 98 pounds. I wasn't always, and as weird as it sounds after I had my girls (3 years old and 9 months old) I just lost all my curves. I'm so desperate to get them back but I just can't keep the weight on. My life in general is pretty active. I had a friend suggest doing squats to help get my thighs and butt back to where I want them. I just have no idea where to start. I've watched videos and I'm up to doing 100 a day at this point (I started about a week ago) I just don't know if I'm doing them correctly because while my thighs are sore it's not crazy like I expected and I can't feel any soreness in my butt at all (😂) is that normal? I also have literally zero time for a gym because again I'm a mom of 2 who also works 40+ hours a week. And I have no equipment because let's face it, I can't afford to spend money like that on myself. Any help is beyond appreciated! Teach me your ways 💜 also if anyone has any suggestions for any type of supplement shakes for weight gain that would be great too!

Recently I lost a few pounds and noticed that my big booty is smaller and saggy! It happened so quickly without realizing it. I was doing bikram yoga about 4-5x week for two months. Anyway, I want my big booty back. I've started doing more squats. I was thinking about cardio kickboxing, will that help lift and build my butt up?

Now I'm only at 60 balls to ankles squats but still a lot more than initial test

Halfway point. I'm on path on schedule so sore and so proud of myself at 6"2 160 pounds noodle legs slightly larger but I went from 37 to 138

I've tried to do squats approximately 50 minutes after i waked up and I've had much harder time to do them then on Friday, even tho i rest for 2 days. I thought it would be much easier than it was. So i was wondering if it could be because i did them so early in the morning and if it would be better to do them in later hours.

My legs did not really hurt that much, they just were kinda numb.

So I tried to do a program similar to this at least a year ago, but my knee made the most artificial, strange noise everytime I made a squat. I tried to learn about the noise back then, but didn't reach any conclusion... now I'm restarting the program, but starting as softly as I can (20 squats on the initial test and I don't go any lower than vertical with my thigh), hopefully the noise won't come back!

Any tips on other sort of exercises and precautions I can take for the safety of my knees?

Well, I got 43 on initial test which is leaps and bounds better than the situp challenge initial test I just did. I guess being on my feet all day at work helps.

I started again with 50 squats, felt that in the legs the following days. Since then, I do 10 more squats every two days (so I have a break of one day in between). In addition to the increase in squats I also increase weight I carry with me. I started with about 10kg, now I'm at 12k and will move to 15kg or so soon. For me, building muscles is more important than being able to do 200 squats in a row, so as long as the weight increases I'm fine with doing less than 200 squats.

Legs are fine but couldnt hold my arms up for any longer.

and max was 25 =)

I have used Runtastic programs for Android and finished Situps L1. I'm doing those Runtastic Push-Ups & Squats also. My runtastic-address: https://www.runtastic.com/en/users/jani-korhonen-4/dashboard, Web-site: jktk.dy.fi, blog: jankoro.blogspot.fi (mainly finnish) I weighted begin of this year 140kg and now 82kg, so big weightloss is behind, and now have to strict that loose skin =P

Not much info on the site. I got twenty straight through no stopping, but with a few five second or so rests I could triple that. How do you set parameters?

I just completed the initial test and managed to get 50 squats. I am rather overweight but also fit, but do not think I should be getting 'excellent' in the initial test. I am almost certain my form is correct, so I figured maybe I am not holding the squat long enough while I am down there? So any answers would be much appreciated!

Feels good though. Im excited for tomorrow!

So I started today with week 3. It was harder than I expected. I actually could feel my muscles working. Leg exercises are usually easier for me because my legs are naturally stronger. It's nice to finally do something more challenging. Completed 96 today in less than 10 minutes!

I don't have a video. I'm stuck in my hotel on a day off from work and got bored of learning salsa, so I said what the heck. I really didn't expect to do all 200. I lift weights on the regular but I know nothing about body exercises. I did the squats like I would do a weighted squat: All the way down until hips are level or slightly lower than the top of knees. I did 15 more after 200 just to be extra sure. No lie, My legs are on fire and I'm covered in sweat.

I'm posting this so that I stay motivated to continue this workout. I just made it to start at week 3 with 36 squats. I have a feeling it's going to be harder than I thought. I'm looking forward to completing the challenge and posting more updates.

Could I do this while working on /r/100pushups too?

So I'm going to start on Week 3, 2nd column - as I'm not sure on my form. I think I should be tighter.

Going to do the 100 pushups and 200 situps as well. This exercise I can get on board with - in the comfort of my own home! Ha.

Any advice?
