    I'm up to 185. I'm very happy with that since I only weigh about 125. I will hit 200 this year, I just know it :drinker:

    I did Crossfit for 3 months before I had to quit. My 1rep max for Low Bar was 133# when I left.

    i'm 5ft, 128lbs ish.

    125# 3 x 8

    Not sure of my heaviest 1 rep but I am curious to find out ...

    My last 1RM was 195, should be over 200 since I've gone through another 5/3/1 cycle since then.

    One rep max at 215#, but working sets at 120# because that's the most my knees will tolerate at the moment

    Also the barbell kills my upper back where I rest it on. I am so sore this morning from the weight increase on the site I rest my barbell on. Does this get stronger or am I doing something wrong.

    use a towel on the back of your neck honey it helps TONS! :bigsmile:

    I'm 5'3 139 lbs. I squat 115 3x8. I use a pad that wraps around the bar to cushion your neck/ shoulders. Don't know if I could do it without the pad.. Ouch!

    My gym has this thing called the Manta Ray that attaches to the bar and helps with this.

    I am squatting about #165 right now, but I have always been pretty strong in the leg department after so many years of being the catcher & playing softball. I think my 1 rep max would be about #185 at this time.

    This site has a 1RM calculator for those that cant, or dont want, to try for a 1 rep.

    Last month I squatted 86.4-94.6kg, usually over 90kg (so that's 190.5-208.6lbs). This month I changed my workouts (more lifting) and decided to start from 76kg (167.6lbs). I add more weight pretty much every time, and yesterday I squatted 79.8kg (175.9lbs). I always squat 5 x 5.

    Two notes. Are you "squishing" your shoulder blades together? When you do this, your muscle bunches up over your spine/shoulder blades and protects your back a bit better. Second, at such heavy weight (165) I think some bruising is inevitable. But bunching your shoulder blades should help a lot. I used to use the pad until I realized I was doing it wrong. Since I started bunching I haven't had any pain, or bruises. A lot more comfortable, and forces my hands to be upright and closer together. My .02!

    90 lbs 5 x 5, but I just deloaded from105 to fix a form issue.

    I highly recommend watching Rippetoe coach the low-bar back squat - I have never felt uncomfortable with the bar following his guidelines.

    I'm so jealous of all you ladies! I'm 5'3", 115 pounds, and can squat 6 reps of 85 pounds at most, and I've been working at this for a year now. My excuse is I've been in a caloric deficit the whole time. ;) Just wish I could stronger faster!

    i'm squatting 115lbs for 5x5 now - been stuck here for a while! i think it's a psychological barrier as i get close to squatting my bodyweight :)

    Currently up to 165, usually for 5x5 or 5x6. That's a few pounds more than my current bodyweight :)

    Front squat is less, though. Right now at 85 pounds.

    My backsquat 3RM was 165, I do have a 185 1RM, but have not tested it in ages. I can only do high bar BS because my shoulder mobility is limited.
    My FS 3RM is 133
    OHS 100.

    5´4. 154 pounds and squats 72 pounds, 5x5 (StrongLifts.) I started last week, but am also impatient, Lol. For me, it sounds almost like a fairytale, when all these beautiful strong women tells how much they can squat.

    I'm 5'5", 111 lbs and I'm currently stuck at 4x5 of 130 lbs. It's pissing me off but I leave on vacation soon so I will try and figure it out when I get back.

    I just started squats this week.
    I'm 5'5, 161 lbs. I squat 70 lbs. That's at 2 reps of 15.
    I'm hoping to bring it up to 75-80 in the next week or so...

    105#, 5x5. Kind of pathetic considering how long I've been at it and my weight, but I'm forcing myself to work up super slowly with my resistance because of chronic back and hip problems.

    Today I did 245x4....but normally I can do 230-3x12. Quite impressive I think, but if we start talking about OHP, deadlifts or bench..yeah my numbers are crappy.

    I'm doing 5X8's at 75kgs right now. I think my 1RM is about 100kgs. I've been lifting since november(isn).

    however, I was a gymnast growing up, and I'm a fairly high level competitive cyclist now, so I have the leg strength base, just working on getting those explosive fast twitch muscles.

    pS, my goal is to squat 1.5x my BW

    My 1 rep max is 265lbs. I'm 5'6" and I weigh 181lbs.

    I do Strong Lifts 5x5, and my working number is 175 right now (I lift alone most of the time, so I hate to go too heavy and get stuck).

    e-stats of peace.
