re: Man dies after being forced to do 300 squats

300 squats is admittedly pretty tough.

I remember back in 9th grade summer workouts our exit ticket everyday was to complete 100 squats. Those were the devil especially on our leg days. My legs would be complete jello and masked potatoes by #60.

I hated them so much I haven't even attempted to do 100 squats ever since then. But still, how do you actually die from this. I would think that your legs would just physically give out way before your literal body and breathing gives out completely.
