100-rep squats?

[funk51]

50 x 225and  25x315  was enough for me to puke in the lokker room

what was your one rep max at the time, i'm guessing it was  about 500 lbs even or so? just curious.

Honestly they're more of a test of will than anything else, I have found high, high rep work to work well for rehabing injuries, getting blood into the area, etc.... A fun way to do them is in a long rest-pause block, like #45/20, #95/20, #135/20, 185/20, etc.... pausing to load the bar, and take a few breaths.

This is a tough trial.

100 rep Squats have heart growth written all over it. Its just too taxing on your central nervous system

That makes no sense. Just an excuse for you to be lazy.

Marathon runners were once looked at as some of the healthiest humans on the planet. However, now we know that it shortens their life span. I wouldn't want to do 100 rep Squats on a consistent basis without a heart rate monitor

If you want to live to be a hundred and ten, don't even bother to pick up a fucking weight. Probably swimming is your best bet.

Good friend and former training partner was the best squatter I have personally seen.  One day I watched him do a routine of 515 for twenty reps, 535 for twenty reps, 585 for five reps and then a final set of 515 for twenty reps.  He did these weights with ease and they were done after leg extensions and leg curls.  He was about 6' 1" and 250 pounds.  I asked a powerlifter what he thought the guy could do for one rep and he said at least 700 or more.  This was in the mid 1980s, no stupid suits but he did wrap his knees and wore a four inch belt.

We moved to a new gym one summer that didn't have enough weight to go around and so he would do things like a single set of 225 for 100 reps.  Another day I watched him do 300 for 50 reps.  This was a guy that did 700 pounds for 50 reps on the inverted leg press and broke our leg extension machine while repping with 750 pounds.  Couldn't bench press to save his life but I did see him easily deadlift 500 one day when the power lifters were joking around with him. 

Me?  Even though I'm tiny I can't really do squat on the squat.  Go figure.  My buddy said it literally changed his physique and I believe him.

 Go for it.

 Doing 100 light weight squats is harder than pushing out 10 heavy squas in many ways.

 It definitely tests your will power a lot more.

 I also like 100 rep pushups. Just take a wide spread with your hands and pump out as many pushups as you possibly can for 3 sets. I usually push out 50-80 per set. Afterwards your pecs feel like they were lit on fire.
