SQUATS??!!

I've never actually tried to see how many squats I could do without weight.
Today was 5 sets of 5 reps with 85lbs on my back.0 -
Three sets of fifteen with my body weight. And darn proud of it.0
-
No idea. I've done 50 in a day and didn't feel it a bit the next day. Never tried any more.
I have problems with knee, so they're pretty uncomfortable to begin with. I'm not about to add more weight to that.0 -
Enough to get a Russian subway ticket.0
-
I can do 1 at my 1RPM.
without weights I can do 50 in a row. So between 1 and 50.0 -
look up the 30 day squat challenge0
-
With two warm up sets of 10 and 8, and then a 5 x 5, I'm at 43. I stop then because I've done what I was there to do and to do more makes no sense.
I've done Crossfit WODs with rounds for time with 75 air squats (bodyweight) as one of the exercises. Again, since it was for time, it didn't make sense to do any more.
ETA, my 1RM is in the 300 - 315 range (it has been a while since I maxed out).0 -
I've been training for over 30 years, so it's got to be in the 100,000's mark.

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.0 -

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.

My 1rm pr is 455. 500 is my next goal.0
-
A lot. However I'm a powerlifter so my aim is to lift the heaviest weight. My top squat is 300lbs for a single.0
-
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.0
-
I hate squatting for reps. My best 1RM is 645lbs.0

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