165 is my PR. I haven't been squatting much since I've been having some hip and lower back issues. If I went and started squatting again today, I probably wouldn't have a problem starting at 125 for 5x5.

I've never gone for a 1 rep max, but I can squat 135 for 10 on a good day.

But now I'm doing lunges instead (I did 70 lb x 10 yesterday).

I usually do 125 for 20 reps, and 3 sets. I never tried to max out. Hi I'm pretty new around here by the way!

I've never done a 1 rep max either, I do 4 sets of 8 @ 155. Feel like a wuss.

You shouldn't. Probably 90% of the little wuss frat boys at my old gym couldn't begin to do that. Anyway if you can do multiple sets of reps over your bodyweight that is really good.

295 for 3 sets of 8. Short term goal of 315...was hoping to be there by now. That's on a smith machine at a seated level...legs spread shoulder width.

Leg press - 5oolbs for 3 sets of 8.

150 lb to parallel, can comfortably do 3 sets of 10 or 5x5...need to increase the weight soon.....don't know what my 1 rep would be as I haven't tried...
