She squats, bro... but how much?

[Pseudonym]

Maccaz and I are in the process of setting up a squatting competition. The goal is to squat the most reps, with a weight that's relative to your bodyweight.

 

We reckon 1.5x bodyweight would be good for the guys. But we're not so sure about the ladies. So girls, how much do you squat for reps? Would 1x bodyweight be a good level?

[Rebel101]

1× body weight would be reasonable

Very doable for experienced girls

[Skeletor]

I think 1 x is fair.

[Realtalk]

1x good for girls

[Rebel101]

Bugger, did not plan that we'll.

I should have said 2x body weight for the girls then l may have had a chance at winning it!

☺☺☺☺☺☺

Probably not and the only squats that I do these days are hack squats and Bulgarian squats

What about partial squats do you still do those bro?

Got good depth for Bulgarian squats and don't put much stress on my knees since I have got flat feet. Which is one of the reason being don't do barbell squats anymore

I sometimes test my max squats in a 5min period at a little over bodyweight at the end of a squatting session just to get some reps in. Bodyweight would be pretty comfortable for reps, 1.5 would be do-able personally but would prob max at like 10 reps so not too high.
