Body weight squat

How many body weight squats should I be able to do? If I'm just doing calisthenics, whats a good range to aim for and can I just do a ton of volume to build muscle or should cave and get a gym membership?

I'm treating this like a pushup thread now too, I just did 51

infinite. bodyweight exercise is cardio

Bodyweight squats are not difficult enough to stimulate growth unless you are
>a complete beginner
>morbidly obese
>recovering from muscular atrophy after being in a coma

If you must then aim for a set of 200, but it'll test your cardio more than your quads. You can fanny around with one-legged squat variants to make them harder but then flexiblity is the limiting factor. The only way anyone ever got big legs was by squatting a barbell.

>How many body weight squats should I be able to do?
Too many. I did well over 100 in three sets and it was nothing, the challenging number would be closer to 200 and then eventually 300. It'd make more sense to go for a run.

200 it is, thanks frens lol
I just want something I can do throughout the day, I'll squat autistically at the trolley station or in line at the grocery.

You won't build meaningfully big legs with bodyweight squats. I can do 30 single leg squats and my legs are still tiny.

>The only way anyone ever got big legs was squatting with a barbell
Wrong, leg press and hack squat work fine. But have limited functional carry over due to not working the trunk or back as hard

ATG not half squats as most here are doing , aim for double the amount of push ups , 100 would be a good number to have as a goal , again atg not what you have in picrel

do lunges, bulgarian squats, cossack squats

I can do more push-ups than bw squats

Don’t skip leg day like me

this

just do pistols you fucking retard

1000x or your leg strength is lacking. It's just bodyweight squat, if it isn't a child's play for you, then sorry, but you're fat bitch. Lose some weight, fatso, bodyweight squat is the easiest exercise on earth, you should be able to do 1000 non stop.

You're not gonna build muscle unless your body thinks you could die without it. To survive the 1000 squats you'd have to do to actually get a workout, more muscle isn't necessary. So you won't build it.

>Bodyweight squats are not difficult enough to stimulate growth
That's where you are wrong kiddo.

If you exhaust slow muscle fibers responsible for endurance, the fast muscle fibers responsible for strength and hypertrophy will kick in for last few reps until they are exhausted too.

This means that you must do 3 to 8 sets to failure, where the last 3 to 5 reps are effective for strength and hypertrophy.

Doing ~1000 squats for 9 to 40 effective reps? Not very efficient but shit, sometimes you got to do what you got to do.

>inb4 powershitters try to explain how calisthenics is le bad
basic squats are not optimal for hyperthrophy and strenght, instead do pistol squats, Bulgarian split squats, leg raises...

BTW most here who said they can do 1000 they cannot do 3x100 atg bw squats and if they manage to do it , their legs will shake afterwards. It is not the best way to train but for general fitness atg bw squats are is perfectly fine and viable solution.

Powerlifting squats are half squats, if you mean squats then do them real and do them Olympic style

I used to do 100 every day just for the leg pump, gives an insane quad pump for a set of 100 and also seems to be very beneficial for overall joint health because of the increased blood flow around the knee

I should add, doing just bodyweight squatting seems to have helped my ATG squat, brought my ATG squat without butt wink from 175 to 225 in a few weeks

>I can do more push-ups than bw squats
I don't believe you, how the fuck is that possible? I can do a set of 10 push ups at max, but can easily do a set of 200 squats
