Hey guys so a lot of people dropped out just over 2 weeks into the challenge.

We're at 155 squats, so how are you all feeling? Is it too much or too hard of a challenge?

Good luck to those who are still pushing & going strong :flowerforyou: :smile: :drinker:

Happy Squatting!!!!

    I'm loving the challenge! It is not always easy, but isn't that why it's called a challenge?

    Day 18 - done!

    I haven't been able to do all days, but I have tried!! Between my 2 nights at the gym and then 3 days at home doing my strong Lift program, I have been wiped! But I am trying :) Thank you for doing it!!

    55 down - 100 to go. Feel like curtsey squats for the 100.

    Done!

    My legs are burning, especially when I take the stairs at work. What a great feeling!

    Guys, it looks like I'm done with the challenge as well. I've been having knee pain (runners knee) and the squats are aggrevating it. My doctor has suggested that I do some low impact exercises like the elliptical and light cycling.

    So, I did 60 today before my doctor's appointment. Now, I'm going to take my anti-inflammatory pill, ice my knee and get a good nights rest.

    Thanks for everything! I really did like the challenge and will do it again when my knee gets better.

    Did 160 today too...felt awkward...hard to balance and turned into a one leg squat or curtsy at times

    I did one set of 155....!!!! I've noticed when I'm doing other workouts squats are nothing now,when before it was a struggle to do them all :) I love this challenge, haven't skipped a day yet! Only 12 more days!

    Got confused with the days and did 160...
    Since the last rest day my knees are protesting a bit, I will have to split the squats in more shorter sets during the day, but i will definitely keep on going!
    Has anybody similar problems?

    I've still been doing it, just not been replying due to laziness. My knees are starting to hurt a bit, which I can only assume means that I am getting more awesome.

    This challenge is a little harder than I thought it would be. I am a little behind, but I'm still pushing.

    155 regular and lunge squats.

    155 DONE!! Did 55, then 50, then 50. Wow, I can't believe I can do 50 in one set!! Of course, I do start feeling it around 40. But at the beginning I was thinking doing 20 was good!! YAY ME!!
