Yesterday I had a bit of a relapse in my soreness. That may be because I had pushed myself to do 150 the previous day. But it wasn't bad enough to prevent me from doing another 150!
This time I did more of a set of progressively smaller sets instead of the same size set all day. I don't know what you call this, but in my weightlifting days we called it "progressive overload" when every set you would do less weight.
Anyway, I used the same idea. I started with two sets of 35 in the morning. After lunch I did a set of 30 to bring me to 100. Then in the evening I did two sets of 25, bringing me to 150. Progressive overload is more effective when doing the sets back to back and not spaced out throughout the day, but ehh, oh well. For my purposes it worked!
Woohoo! Another 150 day!
But you know, even though the Squats to Fight Cancer fundraiser advises us to split the squats throughout the day, it feels like cheating to me. Today I feel good. Still slightly sore, but good. So I am going to attempt to do all 100 at once later today, just like I did on the first day. After that I may or may not do more, we'll see.
Anyway...
That brings me to 750 for the month!
here.I'm doing this 100 Squats per day Challenge with @livinguktaiwan, @pardinus, and @xrayman to raise funds for Cancer Research. Read my challenge announcement
If anyone else wants to join, please do, and please mention it here! And if you want to donate, please donate here or send HIVE/HBD directly to @livinguktaiwan and she will convert it to fiat and donate it herself.
Almost all of us will have to deal with cancer in our lifetimes: either we will get it or someone we love will get it. 1 in 8 women will eventually get breast cancer. An astonishing 1 in 3 men will eventually get prostate cancer. Many of us over the age of 30 grew up surrounded by second-hand smoke, making lung cancer a serious possibility. There are many other cancers with similar scary high rates. If you are able, please consider donating or spreading the word of this fundraiser.

Think about the killer legs you'll have at the end of the month! ;) Progressive overload is a great technique; today I wan't at my best, but still able to do 2 x 50 , with a tiny break in between. Keep up the good work!
Sweet killer legs! There's a goal!
The progressive overload method sounds really effective, and I guess it makes sense as you have plenty of energy when you start off during the day. I'm sort of doing the same, but doing as many as I can in the first set, which at the moment is around 60 or 70, which leaves less for the next set.
Did you forget to log 25 one day? Your total squats only add up to 725 and not 750.
Keep up the great work!
No, I just added badly 😅 I wrote this as soon as I woke up at 530am, so that's my excuse for not being able to do grade school math! 😂
Thanks! I'm going to try that later today, doing as many as I can on the first set. Hopefully that is at least 50.
