So I just read the Brad Dieter article on squatting 100 days straight. He said he did some other lifting and hypertrophy work- implies some aesthetic goals in there, rather than pure strength.

Has anyone got any experience on whether this could make you grow (without gear)? The only times I have really gained substanital muscle mass are when I have added more squatting and more calories, but I have never done this much![/quote]

Why not just do this? If you find what works for you, there’s no reason to stop or change anything just because someone comes up with a new program and gives it a catchy name.[/quote]
This.

If you want to put on mass and you know how to put on mass, I don’t see what you’re looking to gain from internet strangers.[/quote]

My question was not how to put on mass. My question was whether any people had experience with this particular approach (or things like it), specifically with regard to hypertrophy, and if so what other work they programmed. I didn’t really feel this issue was adequately adressed in the article.

All things have limits (I think!)- if I had kept squatting and eating more ever since I started training I would be squatting 500kg for reps 10 times a day and eating more than most small nations- and I ain’t. I am curious about peoples’ experiences with “limit” programmes- abbreviated training at one end, high frequency at the other. I know it’s not science, mileage varies etc- its just an interest.

My current approach for military press is as follows

AM session everyday:
Military Press same min and max % as squats in the article
1 set AMRAP at 60-75% if I feel like it
30 pullups
100 band pullaparts

Monday and Wednesday PM
Judo Practice

Tuesday Thursday PM
Snatch Grip Deadlifts
Dips
Band Pullaparts

I’m only a week and a half into so hard to gauge progress but at the very least I’m not injured yet

Nothing wrong with squatting everyday as it’s been written by a lot of very good and experienced coaches that the squat is a natural movement, easy on the cns, and can be done daily

When I look at one the programs Damien Pezzuti (gotta follow this guy on IG if you use it), I don’t see nothing wrong. And the guy squats more than 3x his weight

Day 1,3,5 - up to daily max
Day 2,4,6 - 10 to 15 singles at 80%
Day 7 - off or very light stuff

I do love front squats, so I enjoy doing them every morning, after a few warmups on the hack squat. Feels like the best way to begin the day to me. Some sessions have a grand total of 15-17 reps tho

So yeah when I squat its like I blow out my tail bone ? my max is 275 I usually work around 185 to 225 for 6 to 8 reps for 4 sets.
I go booty to grass or as low as I can go it feels fine…

but man my tailbone or back left hip area seems like it just broke lol can barely get out of bed.

Anyone ever had pain here ? I have chicken legs and am in dire need of 100 days of squats.

TY for anyone who has feedback on my chicken leg problems.[/quote]

I get pain there as well sometimes. I could be wrong in your case, but try sitting on a bench and put one let over the other. your ankle should be resting on the knee or quad of the leg still touching the ground. Apply slight pressure to the knee of the lifted leg and lean over forward. This should stretch out the area I think you are talking about. Do 2-3 reps per side for 20-30 seconds each time. Only squat to comfortable depth, and slowly go deeper over time.
