    All 100 in a row! I did have to slow down the pace a bit once I got to about 60 but pushed through and did it. So glad yesterday's early tiredness was a fluke.

    Good morning everyone!! I kinda suck at checking in, but I'm still going. Just got my 100 done and I can already see a difference in my calves😯😁

    Whew! I took it a little slower today with two pauses at the top but no breaks! One suggestion - I find it's hard to keep good form once you start getting tired so I started doing mine in front of an open doorframe. I slide my hands up/down (just lightly touching the frame) as I'm going through the motion. This way I can avoid leaning forward and letting my knees get in front of my toes. I'll probably take another look at proper form videos on YouTube again to doublecheck how I'm performing. I suspect I'm nearing my max limit though and will probably need to start splitting these up into sets.

    Met Day 12 but accidentally shorted Day 13 by 10 but it’s late so I’ll tack it on tomorrow. Looking forward to my 140+10 in the morning.

    Three sets of 50 (accounting for the 10 I was short yesterday) - Check!

    I'm late but started today with 30 already done. I'm 64 years young and love this challenge.

    I did my 4 sets of 40 yesterday and 50, 40, 40, 40 today ... whew! I'm definitely noticing a difference from when I started - my form is much better and while I definitely feel the last 5 or so, I used to have to pause mid-way through and now I can keep the same pace all the way to the end. I'm very happy (and a bit surprised) with the progress.

    40, 40, 40, 40, 20 ... Day 19 check! Will strive to do some sets of 50's but think I may wait until after the next rest day.

    Looks like I missed a few posts but have been doing sets of 40 & 50 combos. I managed to do four sets of 50 but sort of wobbled up the stairs afterwards to grab breakfast. I noticed 220 was missing from the opening image for the 30 day challenge so I've adapted my schedule to hit 300 squats by Day 34 (I missed a few days at the start and had to catch up). After that, I'll probably drop back to something less (100 for 3-4 days/wk) and explore other challenges.

    210 before breakfast (40, 40, 40, 40, 30, 30). No sets of 50's today but I turned 51 today so I deserve a little break! Is anyone else still doing the challenge?

    A little too much celebrating last night so it took some time to get started but I pushed through (50, 50, 50. 50, 20).

    I'm still doing the challenge, but I've been terrible at checking in. The results have been amazing so far. Are you seeing the any results???
