How much is enough? Anonymous
To build up muscle, do I do my pushups and squats until my muscles become very sore?
I did 100 squats 3 days ago, then 50 more squats 2 days ago. Inform me, and cure me /fit/

OP here.
Even though my 100 squats were 3 days ago.
My legs are still very sore. Is this good/bad?
Should I rest until my muscles don't hurt?

You just dove right into that exercise routine?

Typically, you want to build up your endurance to handle those repetitions easier, so you avoid overtraining yourself.

Muscles need rest, don't do the same exercise 2 days in a row. When first diving into an exercise, you'll generally be sore for up to a week, this will shorten, you can let it heal fully or just ignore it, but always have at least a day's rest.

No, you'll get a lot stronger/enduring but you will get zilch musclemass. To build muscle, you need to hit your body with a solid amount of protein every day (the more you eat, the faster you grow) and do HEAVY weighted exercises in small numbers (to compensate for the weight). Bodyweight exercises are good to start with, but they'll only take you so far, especially without a good deal of protein

If you cant wait and need to workout every day, switch from upper body to lower body every other day. you're still working out every day, as well as allowing your body to recover from the previous days workout. Also, include some cardio into whatever routine you're doing, its always good to end with cardio

Thank you guys, I'll switch up the exercises I do everyday from now on.

Also. I'm thinking about working on endurance, but when I gain endurance will I also gain strength? If not, what type of exercises should I do to gain strength?

I always start with cardio, gets the blood pumping.
3 sets of 15 reps, with a weight you feel comfortable with. don't do the same types of exercises every day. One day do upper body, the next day do lower body, and keep switching off like that.
