If I do 40 squats a day will I ever see progress or do I need to be doing more?

Question

Just wondering, ive been doing 40 a day for about a week now

Answer

what muscle are you trying to work? squats work mainly your quads. doing 40 squats a day won’t help a whole lot for size or strength. that would build endurance, think like a long distance runner
muscle size (hypertrophy): pick a weight where you reach muscle failure at 8-12 reps
strength: 1-6 reps, very heavy
muscle endurance: 15+ reps 
you got this girl! 🥰

Answer

You could also do weighted squats. Or squats with resistance bands. Or both 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Could hold weights with them too

Answer

You need to do progressive overload. Squat holds and squat jumps

Answer

Gradually build it up

Answer

I would gradually increase them. Maybe increase them to 50-60 this week, then after that to 60-80 and so forth.
