500 seems like a high number already

You build up over months and years until it feels basic. Try to tack 5 more onto every set and you'll get there quickly enough, as long as you don't injure yourself.

I'm not feeling my best but I imagine I could do about 50 bodyweight squats in one sitting without issue. Within the month, I could turn that into 150 as I'm reconditioned. By year's end, 350. 500's very easily attainable so long as you make certain to strengthen your ligaments.

High reps aren't really my goal, I just want to look trim and be able to keep up with my kid. What was your goal with that set?

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

Just to maintain mobility and see whether I could reach 1000+ in average sessions. It was an incremental game played with my own body. Unfortunately, I topped out around a consistent 700, before deciding that 20 constant minutes of squats wasn't fun. It did let me stop from a full sprint within 2 steps, which was a fun parlor trick.

Kinda fun. Pretty crazy that you were doing 700, glad your hair didn't fall out as you turn into an unstoppable superhero
