as much as my trainer can pile on me if it was up to him!! I am a beginner, I am currently out with a shoulder injury and GAWD I miss the gym!
Awesome job ,ladies.
Nothing sexier than a chick that can squat;)
275 (2 1/2 plates) x 6!
My trainer can attest ;)
I'm aiming for 3 plates before the summer!
Great job Josie!! And welcome to the forum! :htQuote:

max I ever did is 315 for 3 at parallel level, but not below, with belt, no strap. Did it only once, just for me, my own little ego :) Now I go lighter...225 for reps is my average.
friend of mine used to squat 225 ass to grass for 10 reps. shes about 5'9-5'10 and 140lbs (ish) quite lean.
she was an athlete and trained for sport performance only, not into lifting for the sake of lifting. it was my favorite thing to see her out squat the useless football team who were doing 1/8 reps.
keep in mind she had excellent genetics and her brother was a giant freak of nature
I'm gonna brag too...not for me as these girls outsquat me but for my better half ...works up to 225 for 8-12 deep before going to 275 and 316 for 6 and 4 respectively...225's are real deep,smooth and easy...275 is parallel as is 315...deads 315 for reps too. Usually draws a lot of looks from others in gym when cranking this out...even those who are trying to let on they are not watching. Some of you may have seen her in BC interior gyms summer 2010 tuning up for provincial BB. 5'7", 175 lbs and shows at 155...new target...overall at 2011 BC's....coming soon to a gym near you in BC interior...lol...great posts gang
