    Every man should be able to squat his body weight x20 that's a standard for my boys and I. Add me if he wants a good leg routine.

    If your friend is untrained there's no way in hell he could squat anywhere NEAR what he thinks he can if we are talking about a squat that gets below parallel.

    And if you ARE going to compare numbers with other people (which you generally shouldn't, IMO) then the squat tends to have the most disparity because many people THINK they squat X weight when they actually do quarter squats and so you can't really compare a high squat to a legit squat.

    And this is why I love the deadlift. You either pick that *kitten* up, or you don't; there is no in between. Well, except for maybe bar humpers, but no one can be dumb enough to believe that's legit.

    Don't underestimate how dumb people can be. Sadly, I actually know such people.
