How much can you squat?

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

I'm really proud of myself cause now I can squat 10kg, I know that might not be a lot but im proud I achieved my goal, i'm only fiveteen at the moment so it wouldn't be that much but im improving as days past. Just wondering how much you guys can squat/ lift with a barbell. PS: I haven't got a lot of muscle I only have like a six pack, im quite strong, have toned legs/ arms, a big booty (loven my squats) thats pretty much it. Thanks for commenting! All you fitness freaks are amazing!

Nope, I can't

Under 5kg

10kg like me! :)

More than 10kg (say how much in the comments)

Are you counting the bar? Because squatting ~22 pounds (10kg) is less than what a first day gym member could do.

And before I got tendonitis in my knee, I was doing 3 12-rep sets @ 225 pounds (~102kg). I was pretty happy with that, considering I am only 150 pounds. I believe at that time, I was just getting into the 145 range and peaked off at 153. But that was like 2 or so months ago.

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Mmm I have no idea but thats what I totaled it up to 4.5kg on left 4.5 on the right, Im confused...

[James687]

that would be total of 30kg since the bar is 20 kg, always count the bar as weight

[Theguyoverthere]

Yea if it is a barbell the bar has weight to it too unless you're using something else like an ez bar or something. So you could be squatting more than you think.

[Anon-ee-mous]

Yeah, if you're using just a standard bar to stack the weights on, you include that weight along with the weight on the ends. 45lbs/20kg is usually the weight of the bar by itself

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Oh fair enough then

[DaxandCarmen]

I don t have strong legs so I only can squat below parallel about 135 lbs or approx 62 Kg for 5 or 6 reps. Unfortunately I have not trained legs much due to some previous injuries. girlfriend trains legs a ton so she squats 185 lbs or 85 Kg for reps of 8 to 10 so she woops my ass in lower body strength.

[spuitkaas]

I don't squat with lifts. I just squat for 5 minutes straight till my knees begin to hurt (I have a small disformation in my knees). Squatting doesn't do much for me, but I'm also not a fitness freak honestly.

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Aw but good for you!

[SenNausicaa]

70lbs when I lifted- it was for 6-8 reps for 3 sets, then I didn't have a squat rack available so my progress stopped and I lift solo so I need to take precautions.

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Fair enough

[opugh93]

I squat 170lbs/77kgs :)

good for you though! building up weights take time but it's so fulfilling. You're doing great for 15

[blondfrog]

Lol you squat more than me

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Wow good for you, and thanks yeah im trying my best :)

[opugh93]

Haha ;) well that's including the 45b bar. Thank you! You'll get there :)

[opugh93]

45lb*

[dsrice]

You squat more then me

[BertMacklinFBI]

congrats on the 65 lbs, any improvement is still improvement! 245lbs repping, no max.

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Thanks, I know I will keep trying, and congrats to you as well :)

[Theguyoverthere]

133.8kg. I'm in the US so it is 295lbs. I want to hit 315lbs but it is gonna take a while for that and I have been working on deadlifting mostly anyway. I'm at 190kg/419lbs with that. I have to be careful with my back so I'm starting to get familiar with a lifting belt now.

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

keep on pushing yourself!

[Theguyoverthere]

Thanks. You too!

[PiuBelloAmante]

hmm, ever, 275lbs,
right now i squat like 225 for 10reps

I never did a max squat because, i never had a training partner who itrusted to spot me :/

My max deadlift was 315lbs lol

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Pretty impressive!

[PiuBelloAmante]

Thanks... but its like nothing compared to the bros i work out with

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Nah its cool dont worry

[Climber]

I squat with a little bit more than a typical bodyweight, so i know i can carry someone. I use 70 kg and do 4 series of 10 reps.

[mutedaisy]

90lbs plus the weight of he bar, which I'm not sure what that is? I don't squat though. It's useless and my knees do matter to me.

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Ahaha okay but well done with the 90lbs :D

[Polswedgirl]

I'm really proud of my self too, because I can finally do maybe 15-20 kg , but around four months ago I did 10 like you o keep up. You're doing great.

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Aw thanks

[Takada]

I never tried to do one very difficult squat. I usually use 15 kg for 5-8 reps and 5 sets, which is of a moderate difficulty for me.

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Cool and yeah pretty much the same for me

[BelleGirl21]

I do very good squats at 135 pounds. Any more than that and I feel like my form starts to suffer but I'm working on it.

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Well done! keep pushing

[CHARismatic110]

I don't squat with weights, but I was up to 140 squats a day before my knee got messed up. May not seem like a lot but that was a major moment for me!

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Aww good for you :)

[BuchitaBuchys]

Unfortunately I'm more flabulous than fabulous, so I cannot squat with any weight I'd say ;(

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Aww im sure your amazing just the way you are :D

[ObviouslyBored]

I had to start all over again Since having kids. Now I'm at 40 Lbs.

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Aw good for you getting back out there!

[front2back]

I can squat about 325lbs (148kg) regular and 365lbs (166kg) with a box. My goal is 405lbs (184kg) regular in the eventual future.

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Cool :)

[SakuraChii]

I did 100 last year, not much change in my body but it was a good work out

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Awesome love a good work out

[ThatGuy98]

1 Rep max atm is 110kg (245lbs) but I'm improving every week.. :)

And as someone pointed out I don't think it is possible to squat below 20kg if you're using a normal barbell! ^^

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Aww same as me I love to improve! ill show you a picture of my barbell its not very good but it does the job plus im getting a new one soon!

[ThatGuy98]

Ah okay and good luck! :)

[Marissa1300]

For maybe 5 to 10 mins then my legs start getting sore

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

I get what you mean! ahaha

[PhiOmega]

That's wonderful chica, I'm proud of you, really wish more girls would do so

I usually squat around 315lbs, which is like 143kg's

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Aw thank you, awesome yourself

[aamy811]

220lbs, finally back to my highschool weight. So about 99kg

[WeaponZero]

I don't know what my 1 rep max is, but for sets of 12 I do 225 lbs (102.5 kg).

[Phoenix98]

I generally squat around 150-170lbs, you 10kgs isn't bad keep up the good work, you'll get stronger.

[Dontjudgejustlove123]

Awww thanks :)

[Phoenix98]

[ButtHoleSandwich]
