FAQ

WHY DO SQUATS?

With classic squats, you will mainly train:

quadriceps
hamstring
gluteus medius
gluteus maximus
abs

And secondly train (mostly if you use weights during squats):

calves
oblique muscles
back
adductor magnus
erector spinae
toes

The main advantage by performing this training is that you will gain in both strength and endurance, by using no equipment, only your body weight!

Note that from level 11, the main focus of this training is the endurance. So if you want to reach higher levels in strength for the main muscles listed above (and if you have the right equipments), check the Deadlift training or do squats with weights.

Remember that it is extremely difficult to achieve very high levels in both strength and endurance.

WHAT IF I DO BETWEEN 290 AND 299 SQUATS?

Do the level 15 of this training and repeat the last sub-level until you reach 300 Squats, see here.

WHAT IF I DO 300 SQUATS?

Now, the goal can be to keep this level as long as possible and even achieve higher levels. In order to do that, here is an example of program:

Monday: do 300 squats
Wednesday: do the last sub-level of level 15, see here
Friday: do as many squats as possible (minimum: 300)
Weekend: rest

Do not forget that squats will mainly train the lower part of your body. So we highly recommend to train the other parts of the body (by mixing force & endurance trainings) in order to avoid injuries due to an asymetrical body.
