that looks like a great workout routine,💪 

Great workout! How long of a break are you taking in between squat sets? 

I don’t rest for very long between my sets. Maybe a minute but the squats I broke up with other exercises. I thought that would be a good enough rest.  

I can feel that my muscles above my knees and my inner thighs are a little bit sore. The bum barely noticed the squats. I think my form maybe off 🙁😒 

All my pics posted at the same time yesterday 🤦🏻‍♀️ 

Good job! Next time you are doing Squats!! and feel like "Meh", consider people around our age who-cannot-do-a-squat. Its a significant 'compound movement' that your healthy 152 pound self can do 100 times... :) 

HOLY COW, amazing! 

Crashtestdawnie Squats may be the king of exercises for the men or athletes but for us it dosent work especially if you are quad or front thigh muscle dominant ! try doing your routine with hip Thrusts with moderatley heavy weight which targets the Glutes more direct and will also feel better on your shoulder trying to hold bar on neck Sweetie! try it for a few weeks and your but will grow and feel it for sure !! hugs Nikki  

Take care of your shoulder. 

Dawnie I got 100 squats in one time . . . over the 10 years my kids were toddlers. 😉 

Good job.👍  

How's your shoulder feeling?  

Ok, so it was basically one big superset! Don't worry about hitting 100 ( do you think your butt knows you only did 97?!?) you did great, and if you had broken down that hundred to 5 sets of 20 with a minute of rest between, you definitely would have hit a 100. The rest in between sets is to replenish your energy (I'm not saying to wait around for 5 minutes, check your phone!! Lol) but by doing other exercises in between made it hard for your energy and muscle strength to replenish. Great job though! 97 or 100 is a lot of squats. Feel better!!  

Like @blazing babe said, you can also do hip thrusts, I do those too!  

Thanks guys! I am feeling pretty good about my routine even though I didn’t hit 100. And thanks for the suggestions! I looked up hip thrust... I don’t know if I can do that 🤔 Maybe 😅 I will try them without the weights first!  

My shoulder is still hurting. Not much though. I have been trying to avoid using it. My tennis elbow is hurting a little bit from using my arm differently 😑😑😑 I think Ill be ready for arm day on Saturday though!! 

Becca 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 

@CrashtestDawnie - Hip thrust? 🎥 Video or it didn't happen 😜
