Goals for the Summer, Part II

261 Hindu squats today. Afterwards I could barely stand -and I am still only slightly over half-way of my target of 500. But I would have rather cut off both of my legs with a blunt saw than even tried another squat.

However, deadlift of 315 was very easy. I'm up to 25 chin-ups, so I should be OK there too.

Yup, that's it. The main difference is that when you squat down, you lift the heels of your feet (kantapaat) off from ground, so the squat works both legs and glutes. 500 Hindu Squats in a row is basically the limit of being accepted to many of the top martial arts schools such as the Lion's Den, so I've given it to myself as a motivational goal. I honestly don't know if I can do it, though. It is horrible -normal squats are bad enough.
