The Pros & Cons of Squatting Every Day

[@wesleysleong]

I Squat everyday for the month of October, its Called Squatober. its Great, your CNS will get fried the first week, but the strength and density you gain is amazing. In December I do something similar but with Deadlifts, - Deadcember.

[@kleindavis550]

i like that.

[@5.7hemi79]

Dang so you do really mentally challenging things everyday in October, November, and December? That crazy bro

[@x2xtreme360]

Do you do full body? Because I squat twice a week. I'm not the strongest down low but I've finally been able to embrace and love squatting, and my form is what I consider very good after 10 years of doing it. Sometimes I get sore knees and I feel like I'm over training. My biggest issue would be doing full body to keep my upper body strong because I spend an hour in the squat rack and when I'm finished I'm all but dead.

I was very overweight in the beginning and lost 55lbs and gained a good amount of muscle. My body was tired all of the time, my mood was bad, and my sex drive was dead.

We see this in bigger people, too. If you’ve ever known someone who was overweight/obese for most of their lives and then lost weight, their thighs and calves are amazing. Because then going about their daily lives with the extra weight on them essentially functioned as a low-intensity daily workout.

I have trained like this for the last 15 years... full body 5 days a week, one exercise per body part and one set for each exercise with no less than 12 reps but I will go to failure.... So if come Friday, I am doing 18 reps, the next Monday I will add weight and go through the next week again with the new weight and keep adding each week as long as I am getting 12 or more reps at the end of the week... I have lifted since I was 14 and been a trainer for over 20 years and this by far has given me better gains than any other style of training I have done.... And I always start with squats because they stimulate the most testosterone and help with all the other exercises, as far as strength induction.... I should also mention that I will stretch this out throughout the entire day... When you work in a gym or have a gym at home, this is not an issue but for someone trying this style with a time restraint, make sure you give yourself at the very least, 5 minutes rest in between each exercise.... I always referenced this style of training as the “Metabolic Hike”.... If you keep doing different exercises throughout the day to failure, your metabolism is spiking a lot and it definitely helps shed some pounds and gain strength at the same time

I used to do this with pull ups and push-ups every day, morning and night. For pull-ups, I just did one set per workout. Went to 12 reps then added weight until I could hit 12 reps before increasing the weight again. For push ups, I would go near failure, but only do one set in the morning and one set in the night. I had incredible, relatively speaking, pull-up and push-up numbers. I think this method primes your central nervous system to perform that specific motion.

I know someone is watching this and is wondering if the same effect happens with just body squats and how many to do. Let me answer that for you: yes. Weight is weight, no matter the amount lifted. As for how many, you'll want to do however many it takes to get you to 80%-70% what you can handle for the day. If you've never done squats, start with doing 25-50 and after a week or 2, bump that up to 70-100. You dont need to go crazy high, but I know guys training for pro wrestling that hit 500 every other day so you determine where your long term ceiling is.

I have neuropathy in my feet and legs (and C1-C7 spine -- some stenosis) and am almost 61. I do assisted "squatting" where I hold onto a dip bar as I lower my body. I'm 5'11" and 215 pounds and have been inactive for a long time. I started doing squats every other day for about two weeks now. I actually have to stand on two bricks so that my arms do not overstretch as I dip down to avoid injuring my shoulders. But now I am able to squat low (as if in the sitting position). Yesterday, I did 5 reps of 25 this way. I want to ease into doing unassisted squats, but I do feel stronger already. For my backpain, my physical therapist showed me an against the wall upward arm and back stretch that is similar to arm movement while doing a jumping jack, but I modified it to use gravity (per Dr. Stark's Reality of Stretching book -- he's an M.D. who specializes in stretching), where I do a special back stretch lying on my side that is similar to the jumping jacks at different angles to stretch different parts of my back. I do this VERY gently as I listen to my body ensuring I never feel pain; at any instance of oncoming discomfort, I gently stop stretching and move back to the start position. I find I can continue stretching at different angles and can return to the previous stretch where I experienced the onset of discomfort but this time not feeling it. I have seen great improvement due to the stretching (and now assisted squats and dips -- the arms assist the squat and the squat assist the arm dips) and less stenosis. I also using a VariDesk Pro Plus 36 Standing Desk Converter (they come 48" wide if you have more space on your desk), so I can type and watch KZbin, etc., while standing, not just sitting. Sitting too long is the enemy of spine health and in my view the root cause of many forms of back, spinal problems, and pain in the legs and hips. I stand on a Vari Standing Desk Floor Mat when I use the Pro Plus Standing Desk Converter. I also use Brooks sneakers (New Balance are also great for foot problems) with prescribed shoe inserts in them to prevent pronation, since I have flat feet). All of these actions combined have helped my pain lessen and hopefully I can reverse some of the damage due to inactivity and aging.

Question: can a male who is 61 years old start out by doing squats daily or do you recommend every other day for a couple or few months just to build up the body, then daily? Or is daily okay as long as one listens to one body as you recommend (for example, if you feel a bit of pain in the hip or knee, take 1-2 days rest)?

My friend grandfather was a body builder and he taught us how to train… like a body builder. You work out everyday and you get one rest day. By the end of rhe week you should hit every muscles group atleast once… with the exception of the muscle group that was the weakest. So if you needed bigger arms you would do that everyday along with the normal routine. If your legs was small you would do that everyday. So what ever was lagging is what you would hit everyday. And of course you had to eat eat eat. If you dont eat you will get strong but you wont grow as big as the guy who eats

I remember seeing a cory gregory squat everyday video, and then decided to see what would happen if I squatted everyday. The issue was I hadn't lifted in 6 mo, super out of shape, and was lifting to escape some demons at that time. Previously I always stalled out at about 315 for reps, and I was curious if I could ever hit 405. My very first day I was happy to get to 295, but my body felt strained in pumping that out. Went down to struggling with 135 by day 5. I took a day off rested, the next day did 225 for reps, then all of a sudden I was back up at 315 not too long after. It taught me what the body was capable of, but also that I needed to rest lol. Needless to say I was super happy when I hit 405 x5 for working sets on day 25. I was even more surprised at how easy 315 felt at the time as I deloaded and did that the last 5 days. I'm trying to hop back in it yesterday after a long time off (over a year), and stopped at 225, listening to my body telling me to chill out. But it got me excited to go back today!

[@TheAlexmercer360batmanfan]

So basically you have to change your way of looking at the concept of "hard work". You have to focus your effort on accumulating as much volume as you can throughout the day..... but you also have to focus on accumulating your volume THROUGHOUT the month as well.... and that means staying well within your recoverable volume EVERY SINGLE day. In other words staying FRESH, waking up FRESH and recovered each day. You have to focus on the quality of your reps, as in how good your form is. *You have to understand if you do too many hard sets that will affect your ability to accumulate volume in the upcoming days.....* So generally speaking, 2-3 sets till failure intermittently IN ONE WEEK is fine, but more than that will compromise recovery the next day. Having said that, one must understand that you must hit your fast twitch motor units as well, which only happens within 3-4 reps before failure. If you are working within a 10 rep max range, thats fine, you can do 5-6 reps per set, doing as many sets as possible while staying fresh, could be 3 sets 4 hours apart or even 8 sets, depends on lifestyle... But if you are doing normal push ups or bodyweight squats you have to program at least 2 sets till failure each week, or fast twitch fibres wont get hit. Your muscle growth wont be optimal. So mostly working on one arm push ups, one arm one leg push ups (feet elevated eventually), handstand push ups, some type of pull up variation leading up to the one arm pull ups, whatever allows you to stay within that 15-20 rep max range..... Would be the most beneficial, if you are looking to eliminate sets till failure entirely. This is the only way I train because I compete in MMA and staying fresh while getting bigger and stronger is important for me. Also the diet rules cant change, if you are looking to get stronger and bigger over time, you have to keep getting your bodyweight up over time, progressive overload only happens when it is also in your diet. Especially when your body is your barbell, that barbell needs to keep getting heavier. Love your knowledge and wisdom guys, keep up the good work.

There isn’t a magic number that works for everyone. I think the best thing is to take good notes, journal, and listen to your body. To decrease intensity you can adjust the weight you are lifting, the type of squat you are doing and/or adjust the rest period between sets. There are probably additional ways of adjusting intensity also. If you look at my ‘shorts’ videos you will see my daily squat routine along with the variations that I use

[@flickzfps]

Update?

[@naturalaquatreasures]

I'm experimenting with the exact same thing, except trying to not even go to failure, but it's only been a week so far. How did your experiment go? Were you happy with the results?

[@jjuyjhhj]

I’ve been doing full body workouts about 4-5 days a week. Doing squats, deadlifts, rows, bench press, overhead press, etc. Certain days I go lighter in weight but have my days where I push myself too. I try to listen to my body when I’m working out. Do you think there would be any issue doing these workouts regularly?

[@Sogehtsgut]

What about doing light Bechpress Squats and Deadlift to warm up befor every workout

[@ogrewease]

I agree at 5:30 mark. I’m a blue collar worker, working in the industry for years. And a lot of it is physical labor. But at my job I look at all that steel in our manufacturing plant, like workout equipment! So I’m pretty tough and see gains while moving around metal with proper technique 😂 also doing push-ups squats and pull-ups on ibeams in certain areas. There’s also 2 makeshift pull up bars there. So at least on the ibeams I can strengthen my grip strength!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕺🏽😵

[@SonSwiftBeats]

Going to go back to squat everyday. 2-3 working sets everyday .

[@gillove189]

Question: can a male who is 61 years old start out by doing squats daily or do you recommend every other day for a couple or few months just to build up the body, then daily? Or is daily okay as long as one listens to one body as you recommend (for example, if you feel a bit of pain in the hip or knee, take 1-2 days rest)? I do assisted "squatting" where I hold onto a dip bar as I lower my body. I'm 5'11" and 215 pounds and have been inactive for a long time. I started doing squats every other day for about two weeks now. I actually have to stand on two bricks so that my arms do not overstretch as I dip down to avoid injuring my shoulders. But now I am able to squat low (as if in the sitting position). Yesterday, I did 5 reps of 25 this way. I want to ease into doing unassisted squats, but I do feel stronger already. So my question again: can I do squats daily as long as I do not feel pain? What should I guard against?

[@hurricane5125]

Wish i would head this prior to snap city

[@tony312x]

For number nerds like me try 70% of your heaviest working set and start there

[@latifoljic]

Biggest legs I ever had was when I squatted 5x a week for 3 weeks and biked 10 miles twice a day for one week, repeated for about 6 months. Frequency is nuts for hypertrophy, I looked like Mewtwo after doing that

[@coreyworthingtonii9230]

Ivan Djuric is testing it out the past 2000~ days. He should be more famous for his consistency

[@alessandroschal6732]

This comment section is such a mess. Does squatting everyday either high or low reps grow your legs, what did you do and how long does it takes? Its that simple, but everyone just like to hear themselves talk it seems.

[@mr.nonamanadus4463]

I try to squat every day to improve pelvic tilt and flexibility (body weight resistance). I noticed it removed the perpetual tightness between the buttocks and as a bonus when my sciatic nerve starts to act up, I squat for a minute and its gone.

[@lilronn5762]

I do 100 squats with 100lbs weights everyday if not minimum3 days a week. I don’t workout for gains tho. I work out just for strength. I’m 164lbs and athletically out perform some bigger men.

[@sleepmoreworryless4547]

I fucked my hip Flexer squatting 7 days a week for 2 months with kettle bell, I have not been able to squat for 1 month, I have moved to deadlift feels a lot better.

[@blazethespacewizard]

If you do them everyday make sure you get enough sleep to recover

[@TheYYellowmamba]

Did they actly do research on how the bulgarian hi frequency program worked? Wasn't no practicing the squat, it was literally maxing out 2-3 times a day 6 days a week on the olympic lifts and squats.

[@tmacrockets23]

These boys are on the money - virtually saying identical stuff to Ivan Djuric, and he's been squatting everyday for 1200+ days

[@gracehall9199]

Can i squat everyday but only using weights Every other day? Or should i just do it every other day only. I'm just trying to build my quads. I don't know what I've been doing wrong, i just recently increased another 10lbs for the past 2 months and I'm not seeing what i want, they only look slightly toned, but no bulk yet.

[@slicksvillage6920]

How many reps and sets would you recommend for a daily squat program?

[@jermaineayivoh8263]

5x5/5x3 with daily undulation/ variations of squatting. Example: Monday 3 Sets Back Squats/ 2 Sets Pin Squats Tuesday 3 Sets Back Squats / 2 sets Pin Squats Wednesday 5 Sets Front Squats Thursday No Squatting (Do other muscle groups) Friday 3 Sets Pause Squats / 2 Sets of Pin Squats Saturday 3 Sets Squats (Only 1 heavy set and the other 2 back off sets and that’s it, leave out the last 2 sets to ease recovery for Monday the following week). Sunday Rest Day During your training days Monday through to Saturday incorporate and train all of your other muscles groups (chest/back/shoulders/triceps/ abs/biceps etc), but leave Sunday to recover and do no heavy training. Light cardio at maximum. Repeat the following week and try to add between 5/10lbs on your squatting from week to week. Note that you will need to keep up with your back strength in order to support putting on more and more weights on your squats as weeks pass, so don’t neglect training your back muscle. Auto regulate. If on a certain day squats are feeling heavier than usual and you aren’t feeling too fresh, drop 1 set or 2 to enable better recovery for the following days. Don’t force anything if your body isn’t up to it. Try to keep your sets at RPE 8-9.5 at maximum. Especially drop 1 set or 2 on days that you feel that your reps are super grindy and you might approach RPE 10 sets if you try to go for all 5 sets. Live to fight another day. Avoiding RPE 10 sets will enable you to squat 4-5 per week and add weight on the bar week to week. Also note that once you added 5-10 pounds on the bar for the following week, do not try and force your body to do the 3 “heavy sets” with the new weight if your body doesn’t feel capable of it without grinding them out. Do 1 set with the new weight and if that felt pretty difficult, drop the weight back down for the last 2 “heavy sets” to what you did the previous week before you do the 2 variation sets (such as the Pin Squats). Give your body time to get used to the new weight. Doing challenging sets THAT DO NOT approach all out RPE 10 sets are the key to be able to continuously progress without burning out!

[@arthurharris89]

So would a heavy squat 2x a week the. The rest high rep body weight to very light weight be sufficient

[@justinchamberlain3443]

7:35 315 for 10 on squat for intense set

[@MindPumpShow]

💪

[@tooxtalivai0690]

I train legs daily major pro I don’t get leg soreness anymore

[@roman2693]

I do squats daily one day back and the other front squats in warmup before starting my routine workout and mostly do back squats on leg day . I need suggestion is it good to do it daily . Does it will cause any problem??

[@cautious1343]

Realizing its been 2 yrs since this video was posted. Hope someone is still getting the comments. What about body weight squats every day?

[@Abyssal_Light]

Been doing a little over a week now of 40 squats everyday. Is this a bad number? Or is it perfect? I have been bed ridden due to multiple surgeries back to back to back... I'm fully recovered now, but I really need to get back into shape..

[@jacobforson2209]

I’ve been doing 180 squats every single day and I want to know if that is also good 😢

[@alpachino7663]

Im doing squats every 3days and i wish i was doing this years ago

[@chattop]

I am a simple man, I do 50 (20+20+10) bodyweight squats everyday

[@Thejoeordinary1]

Bodyweight squats are great for health and fitness. I spread mine out over the day...morning , noon, night. I do 3x60 a day. Goal,is 3x100. Train don’t strain. If soreness sets in take a day or two off until soreness subsides. Gradually add a rep or two to each set overtime. I’m strive to add 5-10 per month.

[@chattop]

@@Thejoeordinary1 Great brother. Keep pushing. I am still doing 50-60 daily. I have to at least make it to 100.

[@Thejoeordinary1]

@@chattop You will! Just add reps when you can . I started with 30 a set , 3 sets a day. Now I’m at 60 reps , 3 times a day. I’ve heard that as few as 50 a day really enhances your health. Like an old timer once told me… squat or rot! Lol

[@chattop]

@@Thejoeordinary1 thank you; squat or rot!!! :)

[@bradshaw682]

You should do 20, 10, 20 end it with doing the most if that makes sense

[@rellielorenzo6084]

What about leg press everyday?

[@essential_listening]

Leg press just sucks all the time

[@raymondmcdaniel8026]

So when they say modify intensity can someone explain that to me?

[@farhanhussain_]

Frequency is a subjective matter and different people respond to it differently. Scientific literature has always presented conflicting results on it. However, real life observations tell us that strongest of the powerlifters have used as low as frequency of every other week even. Just see the Lillibridge training method. This family has held numerous world record in their respective weight classes. On the other hand, Russians have had great success with very high frequency programming. It is best to experiment for ourselves and see what works for us.

[@mariogonzales1299]

Thag because of genetics. I think mortals like us high frequency is the best

[@farhanhussain_]

@@mariogonzales1299 yes if it works positively, some people respond well to lower frequency, just individual differences.

[@kingrose1215]

Average Joe coach doesn't agree. Squat to a training max everyday but it should be an easy max. Like 85-90%

[@vanguard4065]

it’s simple: squat as heavy and as much as you can without getting injured.

[@gearheadjones]

He wasn’t lying about when the music hit right

[@KCJbomberFTW]

I’m convinced Tom Platz wanted everyone to have tiny quads so he goes “yeah once twice a week is best😂”

[@et8865]

Can you do 50 body squats a day?

[@ransomedavis2208]

Well Sylvester stallone admits in his book sly moves. that for so many years he had it in his head that you had to be constantly working out to gain the best results. apparently he was even leaving meetings and parties early just so he could do yet another workout that evening before the nite ended. he admitted he did an insane amounts of crunches with his obsession to get ripped abs. he openly admits now that he completely wishes he trained smarter, he said you can get exactly the same results putting in less hours simply by training smarter. he said that was his regret OVER TRAINNING. all those so many extra hours that he now realised he wasted and wasnt neccesary. so is squats really necesasary every day ? i think not. every other day ? YES

[@matthiasrambally1899]

What about free weight squats ? Like 4 x 30 reps every day ?

[@Someonebutnoone10]

Sure, gonna have to start to load it eventually tho

[@stevejones600]

I wish I could squat, hurt my back in December 2023. Life’s has become a might mare, went from back injury which was relieved to neuropathy a real nightmare. So I wouldn’t advise no one to squat everyday sounds good i bet it’s a bad idea…

[@gillove189]

I have neuropathy in my feet and legs (and C1-C7 spine -- some stenosis) and am almost 61. I do assisted "squatting" where I hold onto a dip bar as I lower my body. I'm 5'11" and 215 pounds and have been inactive for a long time. I started doing squats every other day for about two weeks now. I actually have to stand on two bricks so that my arms do not overstretch as I dip down to avoid injuring my shoulders. But now I am able to squat low (as if in the sitting position). Yesterday, I did 5 reps of 25 this way. I want to ease into doing unassisted squats, but I do feel stronger already. For my backpain, my physical therapist showed me an against the wall upward arm and back stretch that is similar to arm movement while doing a jumping jack, but I modified it to use gravity (per Dr. Stark's Reality of Stretching book -- he's an M.D. who specializes in stretching), where I do a special back stretch lying on my side that is similar to the jumping jacks at different angles to stretch different parts of my back. I do this VERY gently as I listen to my body ensuring I never feel pain; at any instance of oncoming discomfort, I gently stop stretching and move back to the start position. I find I can continue stretching at different angles and can return to the previous stretch where I experienced the onset of discomfort but this time not feeling it. I have seen great improvement due to the stretching (and now assisted squats and dips -- the arms assist the squat and the squat assist the arm dips) and less stenosis. I also using a VariDesk Pro Plus 36 Standing Desk Converter (they come 48" wide if you have more space on your desk), so I can type and watch KZbin, etc., while standing, not just sitting. Sitting too long is the enemy of spine health and in my view the root cause of many forms of back, spinal problems, and pain in the legs and hips. I stand on a Vari Standing Desk Floor Mat when I use the Pro Plus Standing Desk Converter. I also use Brooks sneakers (New Balance are also great for foot problems) with prescribed shoe inserts in them to prevent pronation, since I have flat feet). All of these actions combined have helped my pain lessen and hopefully I can reverse some of the damage due to inactivity and aging.
