Has anyone done the 100 squats a day for 30 days?

My heart's in it, but my knees certainly aren't.
I would hurt myself just [i]thinking[/i] about it.

@PhoenixPhail the knees do get weak and shaky after a while

It's okay. Namely builds muscular endurance. There's metabolic burn up, aka the "burn" which is a factor for muscle growth, but not much overload, meaning not m7ch muscle growth. Focus on time under tension--no rest for the muscle at any point of the lift: constant work, constant burn, then pushing past the burn. Only way to get the best results. Still be good for you, though, either way.

It'll be good to keep you in shape, mixed with other stuff, but don't expect too much. Main thing with ex3rcise is pushing the envelope. After you can easily hit 100, you need to make it harder to get benefits. So, slowing down on the eccentric portion or the "down", exploding up faster, mixing in isometric "holds" at vsrious portions of the lift.

It's good. Not better than weights, but it can keep you in relatively good condition. Like I said, it'll mostly train muscular enduramce. Past 15 reps, you're working type 1A muscle fibers: they don't grow much, but they can last forever. Type 2 B fibers grow, and need more difficult, explosive or overload stimulus.

I did something similar a few years ago. I actually got noticeable results, but I'm lazy as hell so I stopped.

@SW-User I did a few years ago and got noticable results as well then stopped but kept working out simple exercises at home to keep it up

No because it’s not the right way to gain. If you keep ripping tissue and don’t leave it time to regenerate,you’re doing nothing

No, but the One Punch Man did them everyday for 4 years.

Nah. Once a day in the morning is all.
Too many squats can be dangerous. On day 17 there was a loud noise from my ass and part of my bowel spilled out.

After the first 100 I wouldn’t be able to move again.
