a questionitis for all the weightlifters out there

so what's a good max squat at 155? I can squat 135 for 9-10 reps, 165 for 6-8. I've never tried 215, but I have a suspicion that I can do at least 1 rep, considering I rep'd 6 for 215 on the smith.

but who knows, maybe 215 sucks massive blackman cock for a guy at 155. Input por favor.

max lift theory goes something like this. take you max normal weight (165) and multiply it by the max normal reps (8) you get this number (1320), now again multiply that by the constant (0.03) and you get (39.6) add that to the max normal weight, and that new number (204.6) is a fairly accurate measure of your max.

I have some lifting book around here that has the formula. 205 is a decent number at 155. good job

Caleb Willams. 69kg weight class = 151.8 lbs. Amazing a guy that size can be that strong.

Yeah, he's strong as hell, but I wonder how many plys that suit is... If it's a triple-ply, it's gonna add a lot to your max. Don't think it is, though. Looks like a single or double.

215lb squat at 155lb bodyweight is great. Not phenomenal, but WAY better than average. You should be proud of yourself, dude. I'm at 155lbs bodyweight, also.

also a 155er here, 215 is good, but more info needed. I assume you are doing parallel free squats with maybe a belt? if so thats pretty good but if you alternate between box squats and free squats you get used to the heavier weight.

no, I do deep squats a couple inches below parallel only. I feel like a bitch if I do anything else. And naw I don't use a belt, those things feel unnatural to me. And oops I meant 225, not 215.

[Jeff Doherty]

215 is solid for your size. The most I hit was 365x1 at 175 lbs body weight

I weigh 134 and i squat 235 for 5 reps..
at 155 I think you could easily work your way up to 250 pound squat below parallel

Forget the number. Focus on form and the mind-muscle connection. Work the muscle, not your ego.
