Good decision IMO. I strongly disagree with ChicagoTroy's objections, as my joints have never felt better than when I was consistently pounding out 500 Hindu Squats a day. Just make sure, however many repetitions you do, all are done explosively and with perfect form.

FWIW, nothing wrong with 500 squats a day, IMO. I've done it and liked it. Mike was getting into 1000+ a day in a single set, which is where he got into trouble. Stabilizer muscles wear out before the big'uns, and that can set up you up for injury, regardless of the exercise. There's no good reason not to chop them into more manageable sets e.g., 10 x 50 or 100 x 5.

Ok, cool, misunderstood your first post. I agree all sets should be small enough to be executed correctly and explosively. However, "small" can get to be quite large with time.
