    I have the squat standards here.

    For a muscular woman of 80KG, a novice to novice squat would be 85KG. It appears 90KG-100KG would actually be intermediate-advanced for a squat which is impressive for someone new!

    Why does anyone need a standard? How about they just start wherever they are? :huh:

    Exactly. It simply doesn't matter towards your goal of aesthetics, strength, endurance, etc... what does matters long-term progress toward your goal well checking off short-term goals along the way.

    Unless you are a competitor and you have a chance to win a competition it makes no difference other people's numbers are.

    Just train and progress.
