October 2019 : PT Challenge Log : Hindu Squats & Reflections
Reflections :
Just like with my daily pushups, it’s a solid thing to do bodyweight squatting daily.
I saw some quad growth. This was to be expected.
How well this affected me is a large reason my next challenge will be continued daily leg work.
The Log :
1st : 50 in 2×25
2nd : 75-80 in x50, x25-30 + ~15 sissy squats
3rd : 75 in x50,x25, legs very sore, all the stretching over the last week or so seems to cause this
4th : 75 total w/shaking out legs, short pacing
5th : 60 total, 25+25+10w/prison cell length pacing between& cossack dancing to end
6th : 100 total, 60 reps superset at gym 5-10 at a time between sets of smith machine, 40 (15,25) at 915pm
7th : 115 in x60, x35, x20 w/short breaks in between sets
8th : 200 in x60 at noon, and
x40,30,40,30@8-830pm
9th : 100 in x30,20,25 short pacing between sets, 25 ~6 hours later
10th : 65 total, 46,14,5 short pauses, knee buggy, I figure the ground was uneven
11th : 115 total 25 4ct, 10 4ct, 15 4ct with short pacing between. 4 count style flows way better. Use 4ct reps more often, I whistled roughly counts 1-3, breathed in count 4. Then 10, 5 mixed with pushups.
12th : 100 total, as supersets at gym, 10x 3 chins (rotating variations) + 10 squats, I felt like a beast doing this, good pump, felt like solid mat strength
13th : 70 total 30,20,20 while chicken is microwaving
14th : 135 total, 50,30,25 few steps between each set, 10+10+10 as part of squat/pushup supersets
15th : 125 total 30,30 at gym, 25, 25,15 after dinner
16th : ~150, 10, 1-10-1 pyramid, some extra steps on way down, 25
17th : 100 total, 40, 20, 20, 20 short pacing
18th : 100 total, 5 sets mixed with pushups in kitchen, good cardio calisthenics, day off from gym (dumbbell play in yard), really good pump, glutes feel solid
19th : 75 total, 50+20+5 rest pause
20th : 110 total, 50, 25, 35
21st : 75 total, 50 in a few sets, 25 at gym between chins, I do believe that brunette (and the indian guy) thought it looked funny, self consciously I would lose my balance, which is the reason I did an extra set of 25
22nd : 135 total, 5 strict hack style morning, 30, 30 right after heavy dinner, was gassing, ~945pm 40, 20 mostly with arm stuff, 10 strict hack
