how many times per week can I do squats?
Hey bros,
I have really neglected my legs til recently and wanted to know how many times a week I can hit the squats? Can I do this 2x per week or can I do it more?

I think this depends on how heavy you are lifting. If you are lifting very heavy then probably just once a week. If you are lifting lighter you can probably do it twice a week.

Usually only once a week, but it depends on the person and their recovery time. If you hit your legs hard enough they should be sore for quite a few days anyways. Once a week is good imo.

I too prefer once per week. You "can" do them twice, but I'd refrain from training them more than 2 times in 7 days.

Once is all you need of you are trining legs which to me should include more than just squats.

Once a week would be a good starting point. As you become more advanced, the intensity will be so high that you might not be able to recover in 7 days. When this occurs, you will not be able to squat every week. Choose quality over quantity.

ok, thanks everyone for the responses. I plan to do squats in reps of 20. Til I get used to them. Also I do incorporate other workouts for my legs.

if you hit them hard I can't see doing them more than once.
