@Theguy2121 - Thank you for excepting the challenge! Bare Bar (45lbs) squat to parallel (or lower) Rest Pause OK but when you rack the bar you are done. Lets us know how you make out.Is this with just the bar or with 135lb? If just the bar, I might try it and see how many reps i can get on my next leg day
Yeah the 10x10 was German Volume Training, back in the day, and it will put it on you. It’s great for arms too.I have a busy summer schedule of work and vacations, so I’m only doing maintenance workouts until the fall so I can fit this in without messing up any other plans. I’ve also done 10x10 squats with 135 lbs before and I hated it, so that’s another great reason to accept the challenge. I’m going to take this on today and report back in a few…
GVT is the bomb if you can suffer through it for the whole time.Yeah the 10x10 was German Volume Training, back in the day, and it will put it on you. It’s great for arms too.

Yeah it doesn’t take much weight at all, and the DOMS seem like they are never going away for 2 to 4 days.GVT definitely works. Did that for barbell squats at 135 lbs a handful of years ago. I couldn’t walk for two days.
Yeah bro! It was so hard to even sit down on the toilet! HahahYeah it doesn’t take much weight at all, and the DOMS seem like they are never going away for 2 to 4 days.
I remember a version of that….one week you would do 5x5 then the next week was 10x10. I remember seeing in Muscle & Fitness many years ago.Yeah the 10x10 was German Volume Training, back in the day, and it will put it on you. It’s great for arms too.

Well I’m happy that I saw this post and took on the challenge. I sometimes struggle with high volume workouts from a mental stand point, I think it’s like an ADHD thing where I struggle to maintain focus and immediately want to move on to the next exercise - so the 100 rep challenge was good for me mentally and physically.Anxious to hear back - Good Luck, and thank you for excepting the challenge !!
Thank you for taking the challenge and concurring it! And it good no one was there to see you fall !!Well I’m happy that I saw this post and took on the challenge.

I wasn’t sure if I would make it all the way through, so I started at 100 and counted down. I wanted to get at least 50 reps, but after the first 50 I got into a groove and knew I would make it. The squat racks were full, so I did it at a bench and it worked out better. I used the bench to make sure I had consistent depth each rep, just breaking 90 degrees and touching my ass to the bench. I had to pause a few times but never put the bar down. I want to try this maybe once a month going forward, and try to get to a point where I can rep out 100 continuously with a rhythm.
I wasn’t too sore after, but my quads are still incredibly tight. I did it on a Wednesday afternoon, on Friday morning I tried to jump from the back of a truck onto a loading dock, my legs locked up mid-air and I thought I was going down, lol. I managed to roll forward into a wall rather than off the dock, and no one was there to see it
Good job, man!Alright I gave this another shot….I decided to be much more prepared, and knowing how the last time got to my knees, I decided to wear wraps.
So I wore wraps and chose not to go as deep, and just broke parallel.
This time went much better, and I was able to actually do 110 reps. Knees did start acting up again, but nowhere near as bad, and no back pumps. It is definitely a challenge not to underestimate and to be prepared.
Now I may see in a few weeks how many reps at 135 I could get, just out of curiosity.
Very nice, I can't wait to see how many you can get with 135lbs ??Alright I gave this another shot….I decided to be much more prepared, and knowing how the last time got to my knees, I decided to wear wraps.

I have always enjoyed 5X20I remember back in the day, (early 90s) a fellow Marine that used to compete told me for legs he would do 4x25 on squats. He said heavy leg days didn't work for him. I tried his routine and stuck with it. It definitely helped put on size and also kept my lower back injury free. I've been doing that ever since.
Damn I only managed to get in 56 reps before the back pump got too overwhelming to finish@Theguy2121 - Thank you for excepting the challenge! Bare Bar (45lbs) squat to parallel (or lower) Rest Pause OK but when you rack the bar you are done. Lets us know how you make out.
Yep, it’ll surprise you if you haven’t been doing a lot if high reps lately. Same thing happened to me the first time, and only got 75. The old knees started aching, but man those back pumps is what had stopped me.Damn I only managed to get in 56 reps before the back pump got too overwhelming to finish
Good job on the 56 thanks for accepting the challenge!Damn I only managed to get in 56 reps before the back pump got too overwhelming to finish
