Been absent a while. Loving your program lol. So much stuff, it is definitely “Crossfitting-y” 
I’m curious as to how all these squats and push-ups will benefit you.

I like that rep scheme. It’s over before you can talk yourself into quitting.

I had wondered at this also, but thought it was some kind of crossfit lingo

A real man would have gotten out of his car at every complete stop and done burpees until traffic started moving again.

Not gonna lie: it’s probably hard to see my actual program through all the stuff I’m doing instead. Itching to get back in the gym and lift some weights.
The squats are just part of a challenge. I’m finding at the minute my quads are just always sore. It doesn’t feel like normal DOMs, there’s not a lot of stiffness there, they just hurt all the time, especially on every Squat rep. I’m sold on the benefit of high frequency bodyweight work but going straight into 100 reps everyday is too much for me, I’m never getting a chance to recover
It also means there’s absolutely no excuse for not going at it 100% though.

I did about 8 weeks of Wendler even more squatting programme, after a couple of weeks legs couldn’t really be described as sore, they just had a constant dull ache.
Weirdly the only time they didn’t ache was whilst squatting.

Mine ache even while squatting.
Work for this arvo:
20mins running. Didn’t track how far or fast because I don’t care.
Worth noting as well that the pain in my back is back. Not clear whether I’m doing something silly while training or I’m just old and sleeping wrong. I’ll experiment a bit and find out.

Work for today:
Incline bench:
10 x 3 @ 70kg
Cable rows: some
20mins incline treadmill walking
Notes:
- I have pains everywhere today, took a really long time to find anything I could load up without making anything worse. It’s getting very frustrating. Cable rows are just my attempt to work the main culprits through a full ROM. Considering getting hold of a neck harness to fix another persistent offender. Also considering not doing 100 squats a day after August is up to avoid my knees commiting hari kari. On that subject, I forgot to do my squats yesterday so it’s 200 today. Carefully.

Are you doing these 100 (or 200) in a short time interval? I find that if they are spread out, sets of 20 let’s say, hours apart, it doesn’t affect me.
Probably no training effect either but if its just about making the numbers…

Depends on the day. Sometimes I go for a training effect, sometimes I spread them out. Usually the first one, if I’m honest.
It was for charity or something? Because I gotta say, that charity kinda sucks a little bit.
Yeah, my better half signed me up for charity. I don’t think you’re meant to do any of them weighted or as part of a bigger workout.
Good to see you contributing to the fight against muscular atrophy

Arnold and Franco called it “Training intuitively” and it worked out well for them.
