    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.
