    Recently? 3 sets of four at 120kg. Fourth set only got three. Going for singles at 140 tomorrow.

    140 kg. for singles.

    I bow to you.

    First I have to do it. Haven't successfully squatted more then 122.5 in 14 months, and haven't done 140 in 18. But my coaches believe I can and therefore I will.

    I believe you can... I''ll be waiting on both knees so I can bow... you just tell me when.

    Only got 132.5. But still feeling happy

    1RM 475 (should break 500 soon)
    10RM 405

    A few months back I worked for reps rather than weight. My best was doing a set of 100 with 135 across my shoulders. With such a (for me) very light weight, I ripped off the first 50 reps in no time flat, but I sure slowed down quickly from there. Took me close to five minutes to complete, as I was barely doing singles and doubles towards the end before I had to stop to breathe again. But the bar never left my shoulders until I was done. Walked around very shakily for a few hours after.

    You should try the Inman Mile

    USAWA Rules for the Inman Mile

    The lifter will take a bar onto the shoulders with a weight equal to 150 per cent of the lifter’s bodyweight. The lifter will then carry this weight a distance of one mile. Gait is optional. Stopping to rest is allowed, but neither the lifter nor the weight may be supported in any manner. The bar must not be touched by any assistants once the mile has begun or it will be a disqualification. The bar must stay on the back the entire mile. The lifter may be handed refreshments during the mile. Records will be kept for time.

    A lot. However I'm a powerlifter so my aim is to lift the heaviest weight. My top squat is 300lbs for a single.

    I don't squat heavy especially since I do a heavy leg workout with things other than squats. I usually stick to 35lb plates and that's good enough for me.

    I hate squatting for reps. My best 1RM is 645lbs.

    Thanks Jo! But gym performance means nothing until I hit it on the platform. Is it June yet?

    well- I wish you all the best of luck.
    Personal -Considering I'm not competing- and probably won't. I'm okay with none platform numbers- I don't think the lack of a bib invalidates the hard work. ;)

    PR - squat super set 10 x 10 @90, then 4 x 8 @ 120, then 4 x 4 @ 135, then 4 x 6 @120, then 4 x 8 @ 90 for a total of 20,760 in one workout. Once I started I knew I could do it.

    I agree Jo. While the platform changed me as a lifter, you still have to put in the work on a daily basis. No matter what stage you're on, it's not always easy getting under some heavy *kitten* weight.

    i can do all of them

    Yes please.

    But actually, I’m only at 3 sets of 5 at 115lbs. Only got back into lifting for a couple of months - getting there! (there being the biggest heaviest most awesomest weights)

    non weighted squats i can do a couple hundred at a time. half squats closer to 50-60 without needing a serious break.

    weighted i can do 8 at 135lbs or 5 at 150lbs

    oh yeah, and i edited to add.... this is completely irrelevant because we are all of different height and weight and most of us aren't doing non-weighted squats... so... whatcha looking for OP?

    During a recent 12-hr work shift, I stood up to do 25 air-squats every 15 minutes. By the end of the shift I had done well over 1k squats, and my knees were letting me know all about it!

    I love the hard work in the gym, day in day out. For me though, at least squats and deads, I perform better on the platform then in the gym. Considering last time I max tested my squat and then promptly the next week easily squatted a weight I failed in the gym.
