Okay, I will admit it, I have on occasion skipped leg day, but for the next 30 days that will not be an option, because for the next 30 days I will be doing 100 squats a day, everyday. During the 30 days I will not be doing any other leg exercises.
I would do all 100 squats in on setting. I liked to set my sets up like a pyramid, 10 squats for the first set, 15 squats for the second set, 25 squats for the third and fourth sets, 15 squats for the fifth set and 10 squats for the final set.
Typically when you begin doing squats for the first time, you will find yourself extremely sore for the first week. Luckily I have been doing squats off and on for the last few months as part of an experiment to increase my testosterone, so this allowed me to complete this challenge without getting sore.
Speaking of testosterone, I started to squats to help raise my testosterone and at the end of my experiment, I was able to raise it by 27%!
I started doing just body weight squats, but my form was pretty poor. I found when I added a 25 pound (11.3kg) dumbbell, it lowered my center of gravity and I was able to perform the squats with much better form. It allowed my to go lower and helped increase resistance.
In the end my legs grew an inch and a half. Before this challenge I also did a calf raise challenge. After doing both of these challenges I was able to increase my vertical jump by about 4 inches!
My legs look more muscular and my pants fit better. Overall the 100 squats a day for 30 days has been my most rewarding exercise challenge and I plan to keep incorporating squats into my exercise routine.
