Author Topic: What's a respectable one rep max weight on squats! (Read 8302 times)

It takes a lot of coordination, and a bit of strength. Try doing a pistol squat to a box (even a low one), and its way easier than doing a free pistol squat... so a lot of it is about coordination. I've never really practiced doing free pistol squats, but I have managed to do one before

I just tried. I got one with my right leg and a quarter rep and killed my cat with my left.

350+ rock bottom is good IMO

My max is 305

i got 365 for 7 going to parallel and i feel that's respectable. as a matter of fact 315 and above with good range of motion is respectable - it's rare to come by in my gym. pshh fuckin la fitness.

I have never done 1 rep max.
Very dangerous.

This one was missing.

I'll start - I think 405+ is good. (fullrom)

Honestly, at this point of seeing how few people even train legs, let alone squat...I've lowered my standards to have MUCh respect for anyone I see even squat 315 with good form $:-\$ It's sad really

my chiropractor scared me from squats. i've been going balls-out on leg press, and while they aren't getting bigger, i see shape i've never seen before

Same here... leg presses are my movement of choice these days.

When I was squatting I never tried a one rep max, but i could squat 405 for high reps all day long

Another vid from you are on 100mg dball and 750mg Sus cycle

. What can you do now, 135 for a few

. Enough with these vids, when you can lift those poundages consistently w/o aid of cycle that will be impressive, these vids just are not!
