    2-3 hours to do 1000 squats?

    I've known Thai birds who can do that in 20 mins

    Do you go down to the floor as in full squat or down to a bench ? Full heavy squats are bad for the knees but great for the ego. Unless you follow through.

    I don't think its a worthwhile goal as so many people develop bad knees in later life. But its your choice.

    When I can do one legged squats again I will let the world know.

    Squatters ok but I prefer spinners and spreaders. Try this Nervana.

    The woman in the video took just over 3 minutes per set of 100, with added breaks. So for her it was about 30 odd minutes.
    I am looking to do sets of 100 in 2 minutes with 30 second breaks in between sets, so about 25 minutes.

    I don't think drinking shit loads of alcohol is a good choice and neither is being a fat lardy bastard, but each to their own.

    ^ Would that be Bob up or Bob down?

    ---

    Nev, have you ever let one rip (Fart) while squatting?

    So many reps must put a strain on your body, which is good as the muscles rip and repair themselves stronger.

    Box squats are safer and do like this

    Week 1 10 a day
    Week 2 20 a day
    Week 3 30 a day

    Etc up to 50.

    Start with light dumbells or kettlebell

    When you reach 50 take a week off then start again with more weight at 10 a day.

    It's working the legs most, but the butt also. The upper body doesn't get worked at all. It hasn't been too strenuous so far. My maximum heart rate yesterday got up to just over 100 for the last set, so the same as for a brisk walk. As I posted in the OP, I am working up to it very gradually and started from a very low number of reps (10). I do the squats at roughly the same time every day so my body has 24 hours to recover. So far that has been enough. Should I need to take a day's rest, I will, but so far I haven't needed to. I can feel an improvement in the fitness of my legs already and I am doing them faster (for the same effort) than when I first started. So far so good.

    I have never farted while squatting. I eat a fairly healthy diet and have regular bowel movements.

    Nail on the head mate.

    I found swimming or walking in a pool as the best form of exercise.

    No impact or stress on the joints.

    Which part of the knee do you think is at risk of injury, kmart? And from what exactly?

    400 squats today: 8 x 50

    I felt good today. I had a day off yesterday and as I felt so good today, I jumped from 44 per set to 50 per set. No problem at all.

    You should try it with weights Nev

    Start with 20kgs on a barbell and gradually work your way up. I squat with 68kgs now. Only have to do 3 sets of 8, 3 times a week and doesn't half improve your glutes and those muscles on the front of your top legs and something like 150 muscles.

    Point your feet outwards, not inwards to avoid injury.

    What improvements are you seeing without weight?

    What you are doing seems to me the equivalent of having a weight bench and just lifting the barbell with no weights on

    That would be another, different, challenge.

    It is a specific challenge with a specific goal. No weights are required. If you think it's easy, try it one day. Let us know how you get on.

    My legs feel stronger. I went for a run yesterday and I seemed to be floating and bounding along the road, at least for the first mile. Also when I first started to do the squats (in the first week), I was doing them at a rate of about 23 or 24 in 30 seconds. After abut a week, 25 in 30 seconds, last week, 28 in 30 seconds, yesterday 30 in 30 seconds (I did sets of 50 in 50 seconds, except for the first set which always takes a few seconds longer) and it felt much easier than even 2 weeks ago.

    As for seeing improvements visually, I don't see any increases in leg muscle size, but I didn't expect to see much or any at all. That is not the aim. It is not about increasing the size of muscles, it is about working towards and achieving a very particular challenge. It's the challenge. Full stop. Any health benefit is a bonus, albeit a bonus I expect to get.

    I just tried 20 and gave up. Still aching from Thursdays

    Don't get me wrong, the way I see it, it's like push ups, you will get strong doing them but you will get stronger a lot faster by doing bench presses with extra weight.

    I'm sure you will do, going back to press ups, where you are probably moving half of your body weight? Look at the size of that lunatic Charles Manson, or is it Bronson?

    You are still squatting about 30-40kgs at a very rough guess of your bodyweight

    Apparently legs are about 20% of total body weight, so the other 80% is being lifted by squats using only body weight and no extra weights.
