Unloaded shipping containers by hand for 3 years 5-6 days a week for 10-12 hours a day. We emptied 20-53 foot long containers filled with boxes of construction hardware that weighed 40-90 lbs stacked 5 feet high or floor to ceiling. I was very overweight in the beginning and lost 55lbs and gained a good amount of muscle. My body was tired all of the time, my mood was bad, and my sex drive was dead. Even though I left that job half way through the pandemic my body still feels it in the joints, especially my back, shoulders, and knees.
Omg nothing more annoying than some “blue collar” worker whose entire personality is him complaining and telling everyone about how “hard” he works. Just for an excuse to be a drunk. Trust me we all know your little excuse.

I Squat everyday for the month of October, its Called Squatober. its Great, your CNS will get fried the first week, but the strength and density you gain is amazing. In December I do something similar but with Deadlifts, - Deadcember.
Do you do full body? Because I squat twice a week. I'm not the strongest down low but I've finally been able to embrace and love squatting, and my form is what I consider very good after 10 years of doing it. Sometimes I get sore knees and I feel like I'm over training. My biggest issue would be doing full body to keep my upper body strong because I spend an hour in the squat rack and when I'm finished I'm all but dead.
Meegan from 3d alpha has been preaching this for years before anyone caught on. The muscles you work on a constant basis are the ones that blow up. Doesn't have to be heavy weights.

We see this in bigger people, too. If you’ve ever known someone who was overweight/obese for most of their lives and then lost weight, their thighs and calves are amazing. Because then going about their daily lives with the extra weight on them essentially functioned as a low-intensity daily workout.
I recently started doing face the wall bodyweight squats everyday to improve my form and fix imbalances as a rehab for my back because it teaches proper hip mechanics. It's a good way to grease the groove and I don't get sore from it but I feel more stable and pain free.
I have trained like this for the last 15 years... full body 5 days a week, one exercise per body part and one set for each exercise with no less than 12 reps but I will go to failure.... So if come Friday, I am doing 18 reps, the next Monday I will add weight and go through the next week again with the new weight and keep adding each week as long as I am getting 12 or more reps at the end of the week... I have lifted since I was 14 and been a trainer for over 20 years and this by far has given me better gains than any other style of training I have done.... And I always start with squats because they stimulate the most testosterone and help with all the other exercises, as far as strength induction.... I should also mention that I will stretch this out throughout the entire day... When you work in a gym or have a gym at home, this is not an issue but for someone trying this style with a time restraint, make sure you give yourself at the very least, 5 minutes rest in between each exercise.... I always referenced this style of training as the “Metabolic Hike”.... If you keep doing different exercises throughout the day to failure, your metabolism is spiking a lot and it definitely helps shed some pounds and gain strength at the same time

I just recently started squatting everyday and i've added 70lbs to my 3x5 squat workout in a month. It has been to the point where every 2 days I increase the weight by 5lbs. Although this might just be noobie gains because this is really my first time training legs like this, but it hasn't really been slowing down.
I tried this awhile back and I can honestly say it works. All my lifts went up and I broke PB’s. Only downside was buying new jeans from my legs growing.
@Davit M yes I did squats everyday. The only thing I would recommend is heavy weight and low reps. I made the mistake of doing high reps and felt like my legs were going to tear apart after the first week.
Cory Gregory got me on this program along time ago. I did the program every day for two years. I went from a 225lb squatter to a 425 squat. Also got in the best shape of my life at that point
I used to do this with pull ups and push-ups every day, morning and night. For pull-ups, I just did one set per workout. Went to 12 reps then added weight until I could hit 12 reps before increasing the weight again. For push ups, I would go near failure, but only do one set in the morning and one set in the night. I had incredible, relatively speaking, pull-up and push-up numbers. I think this method primes your central nervous system to perform that specific motion.
I know someone is watching this and is wondering if the same effect happens with just body squats and how many to do. Let me answer that for you: yes. Weight is weight, no matter the amount lifted. As for how many, you'll want to do however many it takes to get you to 80%-70% what you can handle for the day. If you've never done squats, start with doing 25-50 and after a week or 2, bump that up to 70-100. You dont need to go crazy high, but I know guys training for pro wrestling that hit 500 every other day so you determine where your long term ceiling is.
High frequency full body works. I’ve been doing it for the last 6 months, you just adjust intensity as the weeks progress then deload at the last week.
My friend grandfather was a body builder and he taught us how to train… like a body builder. You work out everyday and you get one rest day. By the end of rhe week you should hit every muscles group atleast once… with the exception of the muscle group that was the weakest. So if you needed bigger arms you would do that everyday along with the normal routine. If your legs was small you would do that everyday. So what ever was lagging is what you would hit everyday. And of course you had to eat eat eat. If you dont eat you will get strong but you wont grow as big as the guy who eats
I’m in a job that involves lifting most of the day.The last month or so I’ve started leg squats i’d had lower back pain from standing most of the day,that pain is now less intense my point is leg squats work.
i weigh 150 and have been squatting 2sets of 135 for 10 and 185 for 10 along with other light leg workouts everyday for about a month now and I can already see a difference in muscle definition and size excited to see what a year will be looking like
I have been squatting everyday and my PR single has increased by 150lbs in 6 months after I started attempting heavy singles during training. ATG only. Snatch variations, and olympic variations.
Good vid! I use to squat 4 times a week at boxing. I did not use weight however more squat jumps and such. I felt like I was walking on air and it really made it nice to move around. Legs and stomach can be worked out daily using the words of the man himself Bruce lee:]
Hi panel I am 63 Australian guy, unemployed and use to be a Truck driver for over 30 years still unemplouyed. in my 30's was fitness fanatic, did Karate for 3 years and also weight training and aerobics for 8 years, I got depressed and went to smokes and drinking, but later I am doing Squats and relearning that, and I slightly feel the difference, but not doing wieights with it just doing normal and if I feel good I add say from 15 or 29 reps to 30 and do it 5 sets and I do it every day and check if I feel sore, I do it everyday, as I am not working and need to try to keep fit and be strong as well. I also understand the burn factor learnt that years ago as well, but if you do read this, yeah I am restarting just for me, and I have been using Blue stone brick for Bicep curls, to regain strength slowly and built up, I just brought and just received the free weights and I had to back down, they weigh 30 kilos and try to free weight and took a couple off and I can 5 reps, at a half hour period but go 5 sets, I feel it and its going to be slow, but thank you guys, its slow and steady and I know I will build.
@@MZ95 As many as you can do before you get fatigued. I try to go to 70% - 80% capacity for bodyweight squats. That allows me to do them several times a day focusing on form, without wearing myself out.
@@TY-bl8jn probably 1 set of 8, twice a day. Maybe another set of 4 if I’m feeling extra energetic. I don’t really count. Just go until I feel the very first signal of fatigue, then immediately stop. Allows me to do 15 - 25 daily with no problem. Just focusing on perfect form, not weight or progress. That I only do 1-2x a week.
@@MZ95 that depends on your goal men. Body weight squat is good for health and will help you transition if you wanna do weighted squats. If you are new to squatting start with 25 a day then keep adding. What I do is get a kettlebell that weights 20-25lb and do burners and go 10 rep then 9 rep (going down #) untill you are down to 1, all combine is 54x.
@@5.7hemi79 usually train beltless and alternate between highbar back and front squats. My usual weights for highbar is 180kg and front squat is 150kg. These are beltless numbers and my body weight is 85kg.
@@5.7hemi79 just work up to a top set of single, double, triple or 5. Take 80 to 90% and do a few back off sets if needed. Minimum of two sets and a maximum of 5 sets. Delode on the 4th week. I don't do back off work on every session.
I like to do variations of squats like Bulgarian Squats, Front Squats, Cossack squats, Goblet squats, single Kb rack squats. You can also shift priorities each day. Do squats at the beginning of an all body workout on one day. The next day do lighter squats at the end of the workout and do upper body at the beginning.
So basically you have to change your way of looking at the concept of "hard work". You have to focus your effort on accumulating as much volume as you can throughout the day..... but you also have to focus on accumulating your volume THROUGHOUT the month as well.... and that means staying well within your recoverable volume EVERY SINGLE day. In other words staying FRESH, waking up FRESH and recovered each day. You have to focus on the quality of your reps, as in how good your form is. *You have to understand if you do too many hard sets that will affect your ability to accumulate volume in the upcoming days.....* So generally speaking, 2-3 sets till failure intermittently IN ONE WEEK is fine, but more than that will compromise recovery the next day. Having said that, one must understand that you must hit your fast twitch motor units as well, which only happens within 3-4 reps before failure. If you are working within a 10 rep max range, thats fine, you can do 5-6 reps per set, doing as many sets as possible while staying fresh, could be 3 sets 4 hours apart or even 8 sets, depends on lifestyle... But if you are doing normal push ups or bodyweight squats you have to program at least 2 sets till failure each week, or fast twitch fibres wont get hit. Your muscle growth wont be optimal. So mostly working on one arm push ups, one arm one leg push ups (feet elevated eventually), handstand push ups, some type of pull up variation leading up to the one arm pull ups, whatever allows you to stay within that 15-20 rep max range..... Would be the most beneficial, if you are looking to eliminate sets till failure entirely. This is the only way I train because I compete in MMA and staying fresh while getting bigger and stronger is important for me. Also the diet rules cant change, if you are looking to get stronger and bigger over time, you have to keep getting your bodyweight up over time, progressive overload only happens when it is also in your diet. Especially when your body is your barbell, that barbell needs to keep getting heavier. Love your knowledge and wisdom guys, keep up the good work.
I try not to exercise the same muscles every day. I realized that my forearms and abs are growing the most. Those muscles are recruited in every workout that I do eveyday. 🤦♂️ Now I know frequency Is the correct answer.
I squat everyday and then I do my normal work out. However, I’ll only 3 sets of 5 to 3 reps. I usually go up to 85% of my max and it’s really helped me out. I am able to get a lot more of a load on my back and legs. Everything feels lighter
I am 63 and re-discovered the squat on the "Lever-squat machine" since 3 months now, combined with progressive over-load I got some good results and could add mass to my quads, hams and glutes. Getting stronger now squatting 160 kg - 180 kg I could also increase my classic Dead-lifts up to 150 kg and Hex-bar Dead-lifts up to 230kg...
Question: can a male who is 61 years old start out by doing squats daily or do you recommend every other day for a couple or few months just to build up the body, then daily? Or is daily okay as long as one listens to one body as you recommend (for example, if you feel a bit of pain in the hip or knee, take 1-2 days rest)? I do assisted "squatting" where I hold onto a dip bar as I lower my body. I'm 5'11" and 215 pounds and have been inactive for a long time. I started doing squats every other day for about two weeks now. I actually have to stand on two bricks so that my arms do not overstretch as I dip down to avoid injuring my shoulders. But now I am able to squat low (as if in the sitting position). Yesterday, I did 5 reps of 25 this way. I want to ease into doing unassisted squats, but I do feel stronger already. So my question again: can I do squats daily as long as I do not feel pain? What should I guard against?
I was planning to do this and in my search this is the first video I clicked on and I’m glad I did. Definitely gonna pay attention to intensify and variation. Thank you!! 😁😁 You’ve helped one more. Plus new subscriber here. I like 👍🏾
I remember seeing a cory gregory squat everyday video, and then decided to see what would happen if I squatted everyday. The issue was I hadn't lifted in 6 mo, super out of shape, and was lifting to escape some demons at that time. Previously I always stalled out at about 315 for reps, and I was curious if I could ever hit 405. My very first day I was happy to get to 295, but my body felt strained in pumping that out. Went down to struggling with 135 by day 5. I took a day off rested, the next day did 225 for reps, then all of a sudden I was back up at 315 not too long after. It taught me what the body was capable of, but also that I needed to rest lol. Needless to say I was super happy when I hit 405 x5 for working sets on day 25. I was even more surprised at how easy 315 felt at the time as I deloaded and did that the last 5 days. I'm trying to hop back in it yesterday after a long time off (over a year), and stopped at 225, listening to my body telling me to chill out. But it got me excited to go back today!
great information, especially when you mentioned blue collard workers. i am a blue collared worker and i used to be a white collar worker and i know exactly what you're talking about.
4:45: Modify the intensity. I would like to add. Even manual labourers with high work capacity,do have easy days also, if not the body will force them to "Rest" or "reduce intensity or frequency" via illness. Instinct is there for a reason.
I have neuropathy in my feet and legs (and C1-C7 spine -- some stenosis) and am almost 61. I do assisted "squatting" where I hold onto a dip bar as I lower my body. I'm 5'11" and 215 pounds and have been inactive for a long time. I started doing squats every other day for about two weeks now. I actually have to stand on two bricks so that my arms do not overstretch as I dip down to avoid injuring my shoulders. But now I am able to squat low (as if in the sitting position). Yesterday, I did 5 reps of 25 this way. I want to ease into doing unassisted squats, but I do feel stronger already. For my backpain, my physical therapist showed me an against the wall upward arm and back stretch that is similar to arm movement while doing a jumping jack, but I modified it to use gravity (per Dr. Stark's Reality of Stretching book -- he's an M.D. who specializes in stretching), where I do a special back stretch lying on my side that is similar to the jumping jacks at different angles to stretch different parts of my back. I do this VERY gently as I listen to my body ensuring I never feel pain; at any instance of oncoming discomfort, I gently stop stretching and move back to the start position. I find I can continue stretching at different angles and can return to the previous stretch where I experienced the onset of discomfort but this time not feeling it. I have seen great improvement due to the stretching (and now assisted squats and dips -- the arms assist the squat and the squat assist the arm dips) and less stenosis. I also using a VariDesk Pro Plus 36 Standing Desk Converter (they come 48" wide if you have more space on your desk), so I can type and watch TH-cam, etc., while standing, not just sitting. Sitting too long is the enemy of spine health and in my view the root cause of many forms of back, spinal problems, and pain in the legs and hips. I stand on a Vari Standing Desk Floor Mat when I use the Pro Plus Standing Desk Converter. I also use Brooks sneakers (New Balance are also great for foot problems) with prescribed shoe inserts in them to prevent pronation, since I have flat feet). All of these actions combined have helped my pain lessen and hopefully I can reverse some of the damage due to inactivity and aging.
There isn’t a magic number that works for everyone. I think the best thing is to take good notes, journal, and listen to your body. To decrease intensity you can adjust the weight you are lifting, the type of squat you are doing and/or adjust the rest period between sets. There are probably additional ways of adjusting intensity also. If you look at my ‘shorts’ videos you will see my daily squat routine along with the variations that I use
Honestly I saw better results by lowering weight and doing proper form on all exercises. Ego lifting was so bad, now idc if I'm curling 20's or lateral raising with 10
I have been squating every day since 6 months with resistencebands. Variating different squat forms and reps. Massive changes in defenition and size of my legs. It's worth doing.
@@leroilion6723 Good question. Weight is only a good indicator when you track your fat percentage and lay those side by side. As I gained muscles on both legs, and my fat percentage is stabilvu can say yes. Still do squats with the bands every day. My legs still developing.
@@flickzfps Mostly split.u do mixe it up. rep range 12-15 varied by a week 4x8 reps or 3x20 reps. Half reps, negative, pyramid. for the legs almost the same set, 5x4 added. Nice it al up
Very true about blue collar workers. There was a guy with a dad bod and all the gym rats couldnt move the 350 hand grip. He closed it like nothing. All from 20 years of working as a blue collar worker
I’ve been doing full body workouts about 4-5 days a week. Doing squats, deadlifts, rows, bench press, overhead press, etc. Certain days I go lighter in weight but have my days where I push myself too. I try to listen to my body when I’m working out. Do you think there would be any issue doing these workouts regularly?
Instead of modifying intensity why not do high frequency, high intensity, low volume. For example, one set to failure for each exercise per day. I am experimenting with this now. On days when I am super beat up I will do high rep recovery work.
I'm experimenting with the exact same thing, except trying to not even go to failure, but it's only been a week so far. How did your experiment go? Were you happy with the results?
*I do Jumping Squats and calf raise every morning 6days a week, I'm a Tricking Martial artist, but on days when I feel like I wanna do Tricking a lil more intense I'd limit my squats a day before, so that i won't sore my legs the next day on my Tricking Session*
This comment section is such a mess. Does squatting everyday either high or low reps grow your legs, what did you do and how long does it takes? Its that simple, but everyone just like to hear themselves talk it seems.
Question: can a male who is 61 years old start out by doing squats daily or do you recommend every other day for a couple or few months just to build up the body, then daily?

My exp Day 1: hit your max (1-5RM) Days 2-4: work to rep u hit @ 70, then 90, then 80% Day 5: Off day cardio (ex. Brisk walk or steady state bike/ row machine work) Day 6: restart this template * works for all lifts except for DLs after you hit a max rest next day then start the 70-90% and s/s cardio work
I went from a 225 back squat to hitting 315 after running this for 6 months (5 weeks in I tried DLs and that’s how I changed method for them) I had 4 years of lifting exp when I started this. Bench was good at 255, OHP at 165 and DL was 455. Squat was horrible tho just inexperience from being a bro dude and hating the squat. Now cause I can hit 315 I love it 🤣
I do 100 squats with 100lbs weights everyday if not minimum3 days a week. I don’t workout for gains tho. I work out just for strength. I’m 164lbs and athletically out perform some bigger men.
I try to squat every day to improve pelvic tilt and flexibility (body weight resistance). I noticed it removed the perpetual tightness between the buttocks and as a bonus when my sciatic nerve starts to act up, I squat for a minute and its gone.
Can i squat everyday but only using weights Every other day? Or should i just do it every other day only. I'm just trying to build my quads. I don't know what I've been doing wrong, i just recently increased another 10lbs for the past 2 months and I'm not seeing what i want, they only look slightly toned, but no bulk yet.
Did they actly do research on how the bulgarian hi frequency program worked? Wasn't no practicing the squat, it was literally maxing out 2-3 times a day 6 days a week on the olympic lifts and squats.
Bodyweight squats are great for health and fitness. I spread mine out over the day...morning , noon, night. I do 3x60 a day. Goal,is 3x100. Train don’t strain. If soreness sets in take a day or two off until soreness subsides. Gradually add a rep or two to each set overtime. I’m strive to add 5-10 per month.
@@chattop You will! Just add reps when you can . I started with 30 a set , 3 sets a day. Now I’m at 60 reps , 3 times a day. I’ve heard that as few as 50 a day really enhances your health. Like an old timer once told me… squat or rot! Lol
5x5/5x3 with daily undulation/ variations of squatting. Example: Monday 3 Sets Back Squats/ 2 Sets Pin Squats Tuesday 3 Sets Back Squats / 2 sets Pin Squats Wednesday 5 Sets Front Squats Thursday No Squatting (Do other muscle groups) Friday 3 Sets Pause Squats / 2 Sets of Pin Squats Saturday 3 Sets Squats (Only 1 heavy set and the other 2 back off sets and that’s it, leave out the last 2 sets to ease recovery for Monday the following week). Sunday Rest Day During your training days Monday through to Saturday incorporate and train all of your other muscles groups (chest/back/shoulders/triceps/ abs/biceps etc), but leave Sunday to recover and do no heavy training. Light cardio at maximum. Repeat the following week and try to add between 5/10lbs on your squatting from week to week. Note that you will need to keep up with your back strength in order to support putting on more and more weights on your squats as weeks pass, so don’t neglect training your back muscle. Auto regulate. If on a certain day squats are feeling heavier than usual and you aren’t feeling too fresh, drop 1 set or 2 to enable better recovery for the following days. Don’t force anything if your body isn’t up to it. Try to keep your sets at RPE 8-9.5 at maximum. Especially drop 1 set or 2 on days that you feel that your reps are super grindy and you might approach RPE 10 sets if you try to go for all 5 sets. Live to fight another day. Avoiding RPE 10 sets will enable you to squat 4-5 per week and add weight on the bar week to week. Also note that once you added 5-10 pounds on the bar for the following week, do not try and force your body to do the 3 “heavy sets” with the new weight if your body doesn’t feel capable of it without grinding them out. Do 1 set with the new weight and if that felt pretty difficult, drop the weight back down for the last 2 “heavy sets” to what you did the previous week before you do the 2 variation sets (such as the Pin Squats). Give your body time to get used to the new weight. Doing challenging sets THAT DO NOT approach all out RPE 10 sets are the key to be able to continuously progress without burning out!
I do squats daily one day back and the other front squats in warmup before starting my routine workout and mostly do back squats on leg day . I need suggestion is it good to do it daily . Does it will cause any problem??
Been doing a little over a week now of 40 squats everyday. Is this a bad number? Or is it perfect? I have been bed ridden due to multiple surgeries back to back to back... I'm fully recovered now, but I really need to get back into shape..
I agree at 5:30 mark. I’m a blue collar worker, working in the industry for years. And a lot of it is physical labor. But at my job I look at all that steel in our manufacturing plant, like workout equipment! So I’m pretty tough and see gains while moving around metal with proper technique 😂 also doing push-ups squats and pull-ups on ibeams in certain areas. There’s also 2 makeshift pull up bars there. So at least on the ibeams I can strengthen my grip strength!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕺🏽😵
I fucked my hip Flexer squatting 7 days a week for 2 months with kettle bell, I have not been able to squat for 1 month, I have moved to deadlift feels a lot better.
Biggest legs I ever had was when I squatted 5x a week for 3 weeks and biked 10 miles twice a day for one week, repeated for about 6 months. Frequency is nuts for hypertrophy, I looked like Mewtwo after doing that
Well Sylvester stallone admits in his book sly moves. that for so many years he had it in his head that you had to be constantly working out to gain the best results. apparently he was even leaving meetings and parties early just so he could do yet another workout that evening before the nite ended. he admitted he did an insane amounts of crunches with his obsession to get ripped abs. he openly admits now that he completely wishes he trained smarter, he said you can get exactly the same results putting in less hours simply by training smarter. he said that was his regret OVER TRAINNING. all those so many extra hours that he now realised he wasted and wasnt neccesary. so is squats really necesasary every day ? i think not. every other day ? YES
I agree and disagree. IMO We all are canine but we are different Dogs. So people do better one day a week some people do better low intensity everyday..and everything in between. I describe myself as a high energy PitBull.....My best results come for high intensity and aggressive lifting each body part once a week and legs twice. But i'm misunderstood and just a big baby

I recently started doing face the wall bodyweight squats everyday to improve my form and fix imbalances as a rehab for my back because it teaches proper hip mechanics. It's a good way to grease the groove and I don't get sore from it but I feel more stable and pain free.

I have trained like this for the last 15 years... full body 5 days a week, one exercise per body part and one set for each exercise with no less than 12 reps but I will go to failure.... So if come Friday, I am doing 18 reps, the next Monday I will add weight and go through the next week again with the new weight and keep adding each week as long as I am getting 12 or more reps at the end of the week... I have lifted since I was 14 and been a trainer for over 20 years and this by far has given me better gains than any other style of training I have done.... And I always start with squats because they stimulate the most testosterone and help with all the other exercises, as far as strength induction.... I should also mention that I will stretch this out throughout the entire day... When you work in a gym or have a gym at home, this is not an issue but for someone trying this style with a time restraint, make sure you give yourself at the very least, 5 minutes rest in between each exercise.... I always referenced this style of training as the “Metabolic Hike”.... If you keep doing different exercises throughout the day to failure, your metabolism is spiking a lot and it definitely helps shed some pounds and gain strength at the same time

I just recently started squatting everyday and i've added 70lbs to my 3x5 squat workout in a month. It has been to the point where every 2 days I increase the weight by 5lbs. Although this might just be noobie gains because this is really my first time training legs like this, but it hasn't really been slowing down.
Awesome gonna try this out

are you still doing this

I tried this awhile back and I can honestly say it works. All my lifts went up and I broke PB’s. Only downside was buying new jeans from my legs growing.
@Davit M yes I did squats everyday. The only thing I would recommend is heavy weight and low reps. I made the mistake of doing high reps and felt like my legs were going to tear apart after the first week.
@@gabrielvelasquez6601 I'm curious to know what your volume was like
Yeah right
Cory Gregory got me on this program along time ago. I did the program every day for two years. I went from a 225lb squatter to a 425 squat. Also got in the best shape of my life at that point
Natural or enhanced?
Yes you get results. Its amazing!!! I do 50-500 squats a day.
425 for reps!!??
@@Walteralexander1no weight
@@carloscamargo5579natural, uve done this 2 times over the years, feels amazing as i remember, i am going to start it again today
I used to do this with pull ups and push-ups every day, morning and night. For pull-ups, I just did one set per workout. Went to 12 reps then added weight until I could hit 12 reps before increasing the weight again. For push ups, I would go near failure, but only do one set in the morning and one set in the night. I had incredible, relatively speaking, pull-up and push-up numbers.
I think this method primes your central nervous system to perform that specific motion.
I couldn't get the squat down, so I did squat everyday. Best thing for learning as you said.
I know someone is watching this and is wondering if the same effect happens with just body squats and how many to do. Let me answer that for you: yes. Weight is weight, no matter the amount lifted. As for how many, you'll want to do however many it takes to get you to 80%-70% what you can handle for the day. If you've never done squats, start with doing 25-50 and after a week or 2, bump that up to 70-100. You dont need to go crazy high, but I know guys training for pro wrestling that hit 500 every other day so you determine where your long term ceiling is.
Yep, I was wondering about plain old body squats! Thank you!
High frequency full body works. I’ve been doing it for the last 6 months, you just adjust intensity as the weeks progress then deload at the last week.
How did you program it as the week went on?
watch Ivan Djurich, man is a squat every day genius
Yeah his work ethic and determination is inspiring
That was the best explanation I’ve heard of Squat everyday🔥 Experience/wisdom goes a long way👍🏽💪🏽
My friend grandfather was a body builder and he taught us how to train… like a body builder. You work out everyday and you get one rest day. By the end of rhe week you should hit every muscles group atleast once… with the exception of the muscle group that was the weakest. So if you needed bigger arms you would do that everyday along with the normal routine. If your legs was small you would do that everyday. So what ever was lagging is what you would hit everyday. And of course you had to eat eat eat. If you dont eat you will get strong but you wont grow as big as the guy who eats
I’m in a job that involves lifting most of the day.The last month or so I’ve started leg squats i’d had lower back pain from standing most of the day,that pain is now less intense my point is leg squats work.
Do you squat everyday or have some rest days?
i weigh 150 and have been squatting 2sets of 135 for 10 and 185 for 10 along with other light leg workouts everyday for about a month now and I can already see a difference in muscle definition and size excited to see what a year will be looking like
hows it looking now bro?
Did you was died?
I'm glad I discovered this podcast
Thanks for taking my question @mindpump
I have been squatting everyday and my PR single has increased by 150lbs in 6 months after I started attempting heavy singles during training. ATG only. Snatch variations, and olympic variations.
Good vid! I use to squat 4 times a week at boxing. I did not use weight however more squat jumps and such. I felt like I was walking on air and it really made it nice to move around. Legs and stomach can be worked out daily using the words of the man himself Bruce lee:]
Hi panel I am 63 Australian guy, unemployed and use to be a Truck driver for over 30 years still unemplouyed. in my 30's was fitness fanatic, did Karate for 3 years and also weight training and aerobics for 8 years, I got depressed and went to smokes and drinking, but later I am doing Squats and relearning that, and I slightly feel the difference, but not doing wieights with it just doing normal and if I feel good I add say from 15 or 29 reps to 30 and do it 5 sets and I do it every day and check if I feel sore, I do it everyday, as I am not working and need to try to keep fit and be strong as well. I also understand the burn factor learnt that years ago as well, but if you do read this, yeah I am restarting just for me, and I have been using Blue stone brick for Bicep curls, to regain strength slowly and built up, I just brought and just received the free weights and I had to back down, they weigh 30 kilos and try to free weight and took a couple off and I can 5 reps, at a half hour period but go 5 sets, I feel it and its going to be slow, but thank you guys, its slow and steady and I know I will build.
Hows the journey going brother.....?
I'm a big fan of doing 10-25 body weight squats every day.
👍
I do body weight squats daily. I think that will always be good for people.
@@MZ95 As many as you can do before you get fatigued. I try to go to 70% - 80% capacity for bodyweight squats. That allows me to do them several times a day focusing on form, without wearing myself out.
@@robyhartland852 how much would you say you do daily in total
@@TY-bl8jn probably 1 set of 8, twice a day. Maybe another set of 4 if I’m feeling extra energetic. I don’t really count. Just go until I feel the very first signal of fatigue, then immediately stop. Allows me to do 15 - 25 daily with no problem. Just focusing on perfect form, not weight or progress. That I only do 1-2x a week.
@@MZ95 that depends on your goal men. Body weight squat is good for health and will help you transition if you wanna do weighted squats. If you are new to squatting start with 25 a day then keep adding. What I do is get a kettlebell that weights 20-25lb and do burners and go 10 rep then 9 rep (going down #) untill you are down to 1, all combine is 54x.
@@robyhartland852 25 bodyweight squats a day?
When I did squats everytime I worked out few years back..I gained the most weight ever and im a hardgainer
Great information from a panel of great teachers of the game. Really appreciate your insight. Thank you.
Been squatting everyday for the past two years. Never felt better.
What is your daily average workout? I want to know how I can do this and limit my fatigue but still see gains.
@@5.7hemi79 usually train beltless and alternate between highbar back and front squats. My usual weights for highbar is 180kg and front squat is 150kg. These are beltless numbers and my body weight is 85kg.
@@sarathkumarpc244 I meant sets and reps and percentages
@@sarathkumarpc244 That is very impressive though especially the front squat
@@5.7hemi79 just work up to a top set of single, double, triple or 5. Take 80 to 90% and do a few back off sets if needed. Minimum of two sets and a maximum of 5 sets. Delode on the 4th week. I don't do back off work on every session.
I like to do variations of squats like Bulgarian Squats, Front Squats, Cossack squats, Goblet squats, single Kb rack squats. You can also shift priorities each day. Do squats at the beginning of an all body workout on one day. The next day do lighter squats at the end of the workout and do upper body at the beginning.
So basically you have to change your way of looking at the concept of "hard work".
You have to focus your effort on accumulating as much volume as you can throughout the day.....
but you also have to focus on accumulating your volume THROUGHOUT the month as well....
and that means staying well within your recoverable volume EVERY SINGLE day. In other words staying FRESH, waking up FRESH and recovered each day.
You have to focus on the quality of your reps, as in how good your form is. *You have to understand if you do too many hard sets that will affect your ability to accumulate volume in the upcoming days.....*
So generally speaking, 2-3 sets till failure intermittently IN ONE WEEK is fine, but more than that will compromise recovery the next day.
Having said that, one must understand that you must hit your fast twitch motor units as well, which only happens within 3-4 reps before failure.
If you are working within a 10 rep max range, thats fine, you can do 5-6 reps per set, doing as many sets as possible while staying fresh, could be 3 sets 4 hours apart or even 8 sets, depends on lifestyle...
But if you are doing normal push ups or bodyweight squats you have to program at least 2 sets till failure each week, or fast twitch fibres wont get hit. Your muscle growth wont be optimal.
So mostly working on one arm push ups, one arm one leg push ups (feet elevated eventually), handstand push ups, some type of pull up variation leading up to the one arm pull ups, whatever allows you to stay within that 15-20 rep max range..... Would be the most beneficial, if you are looking to eliminate sets till failure entirely.
This is the only way I train because I compete in MMA and staying fresh while getting bigger and stronger is important for me.
Also the diet rules cant change, if you are looking to get stronger and bigger over time, you have to keep getting your bodyweight up over time, progressive overload only happens when it is also in your diet. Especially when your body is your barbell, that barbell needs to keep getting heavier.
Love your knowledge and wisdom guys, keep up the good work.
That is one way of looking at it. A very complex way lol.
I backsquat heavy once a week and front squat heavy once a week. The other days in between I go moderate or light.
The MAPS Strong feels very much like full body 5 days a week and I've definitely made way more gains than I ever had either in sets, reps, or weight!
I try not to exercise the same muscles every day. I realized that my forearms and abs are growing the most. Those muscles are recruited in every workout that I do eveyday. 🤦♂️ Now I know frequency Is the correct answer.
I squat everyday and then I do my normal work out. However, I’ll only 3 sets of 5 to 3 reps. I usually go up to 85% of my max and it’s really helped me out. I am able to get a lot more of a load on my back and legs. Everything feels lighter
Amazing. Thanks for sharing. I will try it too
@@prens4049 it doesn’t work. It’s jus too
Much
@@Craziecat70You should did just one set every day ir one set 3 days a week,i'm gonna try it this week
What is said makes sense. I do manual labor 6 days a week from 8to 12 hours in the summer in my lats are ridiculous. The body adapts in those cases.
I am 63 and re-discovered the squat on the "Lever-squat machine" since 3 months now, combined with progressive over-load I got some good results and could add mass to my quads, hams and glutes. Getting stronger now squatting 160 kg - 180 kg I could also increase my classic Dead-lifts up to 150 kg and Hex-bar Dead-lifts up to 230kg...
Question: can a male who is 61 years old start out by doing squats daily or do you recommend every other day for a couple or few months just to build up the body, then daily? Or is daily okay as long as one listens to one body as you recommend (for example, if you feel a bit of pain in the hip or knee, take 1-2 days rest)? I do assisted "squatting" where I hold onto a dip bar as I lower my body. I'm 5'11" and 215 pounds and have been inactive for a long time. I started doing squats every other day for about two weeks now. I actually have to stand on two bricks so that my arms do not overstretch as I dip down to avoid injuring my shoulders. But now I am able to squat low (as if in the sitting position). Yesterday, I did 5 reps of 25 this way. I want to ease into doing unassisted squats, but I do feel stronger already. So my question again: can I do squats daily as long as I do not feel pain? What should I guard against?
I was planning to do this and in my search this is the first video I clicked on and I’m glad I did. Definitely gonna pay attention to intensify and variation. Thank you!! 😁😁 You’ve helped one more.
Plus new subscriber here. I like 👍🏾
Idk how y’all came to my feed but I loving the podcast !
I remember seeing a cory gregory squat everyday video, and then decided to see what would happen if I squatted everyday. The issue was I hadn't lifted in 6 mo, super out of shape, and was lifting to escape some demons at that time. Previously I always stalled out at about 315 for reps, and I was curious if I could ever hit 405.
My very first day I was happy to get to 295, but my body felt strained in pumping that out. Went down to struggling with 135 by day 5. I took a day off rested, the next day did 225 for reps, then all of a sudden I was back up at 315 not too long after. It taught me what the body was capable of, but also that I needed to rest lol. Needless to say I was super happy when I hit 405 x5 for working sets on day 25. I was even more surprised at how easy 315 felt at the time as I deloaded and did that the last 5 days.
I'm trying to hop back in it yesterday after a long time off (over a year), and stopped at 225, listening to my body telling me to chill out. But it got me excited to go back today!
Great video thanks 👍
This is the best advice you guys can give anybody fr fr. Only you know you. I’ve been following these rules, good shit fellas. 🤙
great information, especially when you mentioned blue collard workers. i am a blue collared worker and i used to be a white collar worker and i know exactly what you're talking about.
4:45: Modify the intensity.
I would like to add.
Even manual labourers with high work capacity,do have easy days also, if not the body will force them to "Rest" or "reduce intensity or frequency" via illness.
Instinct is there for a reason.
Very good point. Quite a few people dismiss this fact
Ivan Djuric is max squatting and deadlifting everyday. I think he is on day 705
Great information.
I have neuropathy in my feet and legs (and C1-C7 spine -- some stenosis) and am almost 61. I do assisted "squatting" where I hold onto a dip bar as I lower my body. I'm 5'11" and 215 pounds and have been inactive for a long time. I started doing squats every other day for about two weeks now. I actually have to stand on two bricks so that my arms do not overstretch as I dip down to avoid injuring my shoulders. But now I am able to squat low (as if in the sitting position). Yesterday, I did 5 reps of 25 this way. I want to ease into doing unassisted squats, but I do feel stronger already. For my backpain, my physical therapist showed me an against the wall upward arm and back stretch that is similar to arm movement while doing a jumping jack, but I modified it to use gravity (per Dr. Stark's Reality of Stretching book -- he's an M.D. who specializes in stretching), where I do a special back stretch lying on my side that is similar to the jumping jacks at different angles to stretch different parts of my back. I do this VERY gently as I listen to my body ensuring I never feel pain; at any instance of oncoming discomfort, I gently stop stretching and move back to the start position. I find I can continue stretching at different angles and can return to the previous stretch where I experienced the onset of discomfort but this time not feeling it. I have seen great improvement due to the stretching (and now assisted squats and dips -- the arms assist the squat and the squat assist the arm dips) and less stenosis. I also using a VariDesk Pro Plus 36 Standing Desk Converter (they come 48" wide if you have more space on your desk), so I can type and watch TH-cam, etc., while standing, not just sitting. Sitting too long is the enemy of spine health and in my view the root cause of many forms of back, spinal problems, and pain in the legs and hips. I stand on a Vari Standing Desk Floor Mat when I use the Pro Plus Standing Desk Converter. I also use Brooks sneakers (New Balance are also great for foot problems) with prescribed shoe inserts in them to prevent pronation, since I have flat feet). All of these actions combined have helped my pain lessen and hopefully I can reverse some of the damage due to inactivity and aging.
You could squat with weights then the next day just do body weight so basically
Weights body weight weights body weight and so on and so forth
Very interesting !!
How would you decrease intensity? By how much should you decrease in weight? Can someone please explain how your routine is?
There isn’t a magic number that works for everyone. I think the best thing is to take good notes, journal, and listen to your body. To decrease intensity you can adjust the weight you are lifting, the type of squat you are doing and/or adjust the rest period between sets. There are probably additional ways of adjusting intensity also. If you look at my ‘shorts’ videos you will see my daily squat routine along with the variations that I use
@@SteveDab317 oh wow!! Thanks for the information and daily shorts on squats!
Honestly I saw better results by lowering weight and doing proper form on all exercises. Ego lifting was so bad, now idc if I'm curling 20's or lateral raising with 10
Yup. Lower the weight, and focus on form. You will see more gains, and far more definition.
Lats with 10s lmao...ok old lady.🤣🤣

If you do them everyday make sure you get enough sleep to recover
Very true about blue collar workers. There was a guy with a dad bod and all the gym rats couldnt move the 350 hand grip. He closed it like nothing. All from 20 years of working as a blue collar worker
I’ve been doing full body workouts about 4-5 days a week. Doing squats, deadlifts, rows, bench press, overhead press, etc. Certain days I go lighter in weight but have my days where I push myself too. I try to listen to my body when I’m working out. Do you think there would be any issue doing these workouts regularly?
Ivan Djuric is testing it out the past 2000~ days. He should be more famous for his consistency
Instead of modifying intensity why not do high frequency, high intensity, low volume. For example, one set to failure for each exercise per day. I am experimenting with this now. On days when I am super beat up I will do high rep recovery work.
how did it turn out
Update?
I'm experimenting with the exact same thing, except trying to not even go to failure, but it's only been a week so far. How did your experiment go? Were you happy with the results?
Been squatting everyday doing it for 3years I do 405 most days sometimes more.
*I do Jumping Squats and calf raise every morning 6days a week, I'm a Tricking Martial artist, but on days when I feel like I wanna do Tricking a lil more intense I'd limit my squats a day before, so that i won't sore my legs the next day on my Tricking Session*
This comment section is such a mess. Does squatting everyday either high or low reps grow your legs, what did you do and how long does it takes? Its that simple, but everyone just like to hear themselves talk it seems.
Question: can a male who is 61 years old start out by doing squats daily or do you recommend every other day for a couple or few months just to build up the body, then daily?

My exp
Day 1: hit your max (1-5RM)
Days 2-4: work to rep u hit @ 70, then 90, then 80%
Day 5: Off day cardio (ex. Brisk walk or steady state bike/ row machine work)
Day 6: restart this template
* works for all lifts except for DLs after you hit a max rest next day then start the 70-90% and s/s cardio work
I went from a 225 back squat to hitting 315 after running this for 6 months (5 weeks in I tried DLs and that’s how I changed method for them)
I had 4 years of lifting exp when I started this. Bench was good at 255, OHP at 165 and DL was 455. Squat was horrible tho just inexperience from being a bro dude and hating the squat. Now cause I can hit 315 I love it 🤣
I do 100 squats with 100lbs weights everyday if not minimum3 days a week. I don’t workout for gains tho. I work out just for strength. I’m 164lbs and athletically out perform some bigger men.
I try to squat every day to improve pelvic tilt and flexibility (body weight resistance).
I noticed it removed the perpetual tightness between the buttocks and as a bonus when my sciatic nerve starts to act up, I squat for a minute and its gone.
Can i squat everyday but only using weights Every other day? Or should i just do it every other day only. I'm just trying to build my quads. I don't know what I've been doing wrong, i just recently increased another 10lbs for the past 2 months and I'm not seeing what i want, they only look slightly toned, but no bulk yet.
Did they actly do research on how the bulgarian hi frequency program worked? Wasn't no practicing the squat, it was literally maxing out 2-3 times a day 6 days a week on the olympic lifts and squats.
I am a simple man, I do 50 (20+20+10) bodyweight squats everyday
Bodyweight squats are great for health and fitness. I spread mine out over the day...morning , noon, night. I do 3x60 a day. Goal,is 3x100. Train don’t strain. If soreness sets in take a day or two off until soreness subsides. Gradually add a rep or two to each set overtime. I’m strive to add 5-10 per month.

We talking body squats or weighted
I train legs daily major pro I don’t get leg soreness anymore
How many reps and sets would you recommend for a daily squat program?
5x5/5x3 with daily undulation/ variations of squatting.
Example:
Monday 3 Sets Back Squats/ 2 Sets Pin Squats
Tuesday 3 Sets Back Squats / 2 sets Pin Squats
Wednesday 5 Sets Front Squats
Thursday No Squatting (Do other muscle groups)
Friday 3 Sets Pause Squats / 2 Sets of Pin Squats
Saturday 3 Sets Squats (Only 1 heavy set and the other 2 back off sets and that’s it, leave out the last 2 sets to ease recovery for Monday the following week).
Sunday Rest Day
During your training days Monday through to Saturday incorporate and train all of your other muscles groups (chest/back/shoulders/triceps/ abs/biceps etc), but leave Sunday to recover and do no heavy training. Light cardio at maximum.
Repeat the following week and try to add between 5/10lbs on your squatting from week to week.
Note that you will need to keep up with your back strength in order to support putting on more and more weights on your squats as weeks pass, so don’t neglect training your back muscle.
Auto regulate. If on a certain day squats are feeling heavier than usual and you aren’t feeling too fresh, drop 1 set or 2 to enable better recovery for the following days.
Don’t force anything if your body isn’t up to it. Try to keep your sets at RPE 8-9.5 at maximum.
Especially drop 1 set or 2 on days that you feel that your reps are super grindy and you might approach RPE 10 sets if you try to go for all 5 sets. Live to fight another day.
Avoiding RPE 10 sets will enable you to squat 4-5 per week and add weight on the bar week to week.
Also note that once you added 5-10 pounds on the bar for the following week, do not try and force your body to do the 3 “heavy sets” with the new weight if your body doesn’t feel capable of it without grinding them out. Do 1 set with the new weight and if that felt pretty difficult, drop the weight back down for the last 2 “heavy sets” to what you did the previous week before you do the 2 variation sets (such as the Pin Squats).
Give your body time to get used to the new weight. Doing challenging sets THAT DO NOT approach all out RPE 10 sets are the key to be able to continuously progress without burning out!
I do squats daily one day back and the other front squats in warmup before starting my routine workout and mostly do back squats on leg day . I need suggestion is it good to do it daily . Does it will cause any problem??
Been doing a little over a week now of 40 squats everyday.
Is this a bad number? Or is it perfect? I have been bed ridden due to multiple surgeries back to back to back... I'm fully recovered now, but I really need to get back into shape..
I’ve been doing 180 squats every single day and I want to know if that is also good 😢
I agree at 5:30 mark. I’m a blue collar worker, working in the industry for years. And a lot of it is physical labor. But at my job I look at all that steel in our manufacturing plant, like workout equipment! So I’m pretty tough and see gains while moving around metal with proper technique 😂 also doing push-ups squats and pull-ups on ibeams in certain areas. There’s also 2 makeshift pull up bars there. So at least on the ibeams I can strengthen my grip strength!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕺🏽😵
Im doing squats every 3days and i wish i was doing this years ago
Are we talking body weight squats?
Average Joe coach doesn't agree. Squat to a training max everyday but it should be an easy max. Like 85-90%
I fucked my hip Flexer squatting 7 days a week for 2 months with kettle bell, I have not been able to squat for 1 month, I have moved to deadlift feels a lot better.
So would a heavy squat 2x a week the. The rest high rep body weight to very light weight be sufficient

Biggest legs I ever had was when I squatted 5x a week for 3 weeks and biked 10 miles twice a day for one week, repeated for about 6 months. Frequency is nuts for hypertrophy, I looked like Mewtwo after doing that
Is it a good idea to do bodyweight squats every day? Say 100 or so?
He wasn’t lying about when the music hit right
What about leg press everyday?
Leg press just sucks all the time
So body weight squats every day is fine?
Well Sylvester stallone admits in his book sly moves. that for so many years he had it in his head that you had to be constantly working out to gain the best results. apparently he was even leaving meetings and parties early just so he could do yet another workout that evening before the nite ended. he admitted he did an insane amounts of crunches with his obsession to get ripped abs. he openly admits now that he completely wishes he trained smarter, he said you can get exactly the same results putting in less hours simply by training smarter. he said that was his regret OVER TRAINNING. all those so many extra hours that he now realised he wasted and wasnt neccesary. so is squats really necesasary every day ? i think not. every other day ? YES
I do the Squat & Crap once per day. Twice if I'm eating Mexican.
@Ivan Djuric kicks ass
7:35 315 for 10 on squat for intense set
💪
I agree and disagree.
IMO
We all are canine but we are different Dogs.
So people do better one day a week some people do better low intensity everyday..and everything in between.
I describe myself as a high energy PitBull.....My best results come for high intensity and aggressive lifting each body part once a week and legs twice.
But i'm misunderstood and just a big baby
