Strength Weight Training: Anything and Everything II

[ThePuppetMaster]

New challenge.

100 squats a day, for 100 days, starting with the bar and increasing 1kg a day.

Day 8 thus far. Feel good.

You wont feel good when you get up to 100x 120 kegs!

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

fractional plates, or use rolls of masking tape. 170grams for each one

ffs they're expensive. might do the masking tape thing

 

[estibador]

He'll only get to 99kgs if my maths is right but your point still stands. **** that!

 

[Power Raid]

Where can I buy 1kg barbell weights? I have 2.5kg plates as the lowest weight and it's halting my progress, as I'd have to add 2x 2.5kg rather than 2x 1kg if I want to increase weight on that last set

you can get .25kg and .5 kg weights if you really wanted

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

you can get .25kg and .5 kg weights if you really wanted

All good, settled on 4x 1.25kg for $25. That was the lowest price I could find

119 when you include the bar!!

 

[JHF1870]

If you have a mate you can get them to throw an extra couple of kgs on the bar without you knowing and its a mental thing. I got it to work once. But you need to be unprepared for it.

 

[JHF1870]

119 when you include the bar!!

119 is such a shitty weight

 

[estibador]

119 when you include the bar!!

Ah yeah, I always forget the bar.

 

[BrockBlitz]

Yeah its going to suck. 10 sets of 10 at the moment is pretty easy to be honest. At some point I'll start having to add more sets and less reps, then a split morning night and possibly by the end 3 sessions a day.

Even after 8 days I've noticed my squat pattern has improved, my foundation is heaps more solid, less but wiggle and I really noticed my quads this morning on the loo. Good times. I'll keep you posted.

 

[BORK]

100 squats for 100 days sounds easier than 50 iron man triathlons in 50 days across 50 states of the US.

 

[BORK]

I am actually tempted to do 50 squats a day for 50 days starting with the Bar and 50kg of plates on it(70kg). Be good experience for nailing good form on that exercise.

That is the exact reason I took up the challenge. My squat pattern is poo.

That Dan Jones guy loves those high rep/lower weights to get over plateaus and to bulk up

 

[Shupe]

You're squatting 28kg's and noticing your quads?

 

[BrockBlitz]

so today is day 16, that means in the last 2 weeks and 2 days i've done 1600 squats, with an average weight of 27.5kgs. Might not seem like much, but believe me it works. Depending on if its a heavy lifting day or an 'off day' depends on how quickly I get through it. 15 - 20 minutes on an off day - an hour littered through a normal workout.

I worked out in the first 50 days I'll have squatted 220 tons not including bodyweight.
If I can do the second 50 days, ill squat 935 tons. Again not including bodyweight.

Might get definition but they'll stay small

 

[BrockBlitz]

We will see.

I'm pretty sure they will grow if I'm doing 100 reps a day of 100+kgs

 

[Shupe]

100 x 100kg not only seems like an injury waiting to happen, it also seems like a huge waste of time.

His body weight + 28kg

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

His body weight + 28kg

So wait, on the 100th day, assuming BrockBlitz will be 72kg, he will squat 28kg + barbell weight 100 times?

 

[Shupe]

It's official - I'm confused.

 

[Drumroe]

So wait, on the 100th day, assuming BrockBlitz will be 72kg, he will squat 28kg + barbell weight 100 times?

On the 100th day he will squat barbell plus 99kg on the bar. So 119kg.

 

[kaiserchief13]

On the 100th day he will squat barbell plus 99kg on the bar. So 119kg.

100 reps? That is a lot of reps for bar+100kg....

 

[Drumroe]

100 reps? That is a lot of reps for bar+100kg....

It is. But its not 100 reps straight, its just 100 in a day. So he might do 5x10 in the morning and 5x10 in the afternoon.
