How old were you when you could first squat 315

[VikingWarlord]

You sure all you people who got it when you were 14-16 were squatting to parallel? I have yet to see a single person at my high school squat any amount of weight to parallel (some are pretty close), and I go to a huge high school. I wouldn't be either if I never found these forums. There are a ton of people who can "squat" 315+ though.

My football coach wouldn't accept anything that wasn't ATF.

15, had a belt on though.

Cheater.

I think I was only like 150 or 160 lbs when I could squat 315. I was maybe 15 or 16 I really don't remember. You really don't have to be that big... If you just train the movement enough you'll get it. I'm like 190 or 195 now.

Ya, that's true you don't have to be that big but at 14-15 that seems like a crazy high amount of weight to deep squat.
It just really impresses me and I would like to see it. I know when I was 15 there was not a single person in my grade or even the one above us to squat 3 plates. That is amazing for anyone that did a full squat with that much being so young.

We had a few strong football kids who could squat a **** ton in high school. I think the record was 600 when I left. I went to college with the kid (were he played football) and said he was up to 650 before he left he just never got it "officialized" by the coaches or whatever.

haha, just messin with you man. Ill sport the briefs, belt, wraps, and an occasional shirt.

There are people at my High school who have squatted 500 to parallel and i have seen them do it, that and they were NFL prospects so that might be the reason.

and nice vid BFGuitar

I don't doubt that, I just find it very surprising that 15-16 has the second highest votes right now.

Make a poll for 500 or 600 and i doubt it would be the same. 315 is a very attainable squat goal, after a couple years with good coaching and effort. So if you start early enough and have someone teaching you know knows what they are doing, it isn't a tough thing to do.

[Pitbull3291]

yeah reko i made it 315 because i am very surprised at everybody's squat compared to their weight, yet they bench alot. i should have done 405. but im not there yet so maybe when i make it in a few weeks ill make it

Look for it haha

[BFGUITAR]

Pitbull at 5'4 and 140 I bet your packin quite a bit of muscle :P

Plus the whole strength to weight ratio is silly the lighter person will always win.

[Guido]

I was 27 or so. I hit it about 8 months after I'd starting lifting seriously.

[Klotz]

I was 19, and got 405 at 20.

[T82]

15 years old, 315x1 at a little below parallel. Squatting for a year before that.

[Jacobs12]

21......

[Detard]

315 @ 17, 405 @ 18.

500 @ 20??? :d

[snow]

I never tried to max before, but this is the year I started doing 3 sets of 5 at 315.

24
6'0"
200

[fit2bdad]

I rarely do squats. But I did 315 back when I was in my early 30's.

[ryan1117]

To a powerlifting legal depth --- 21

To the half-depth that 95% of the people at the gym go to -- 17

[RBB]

not sure how old i was, mid 20's i guess, but i could hit 315 after about 6 months of squatting.

[10.5 Dave]

I have no idea when I did it,however my son squatted 315 as a 13 yr old 5'7" 165 lb freshmen.It was a real squat too,none of that partial squat BS.Now he's a 198 lb 16 yr old aiming for a 425-435 squat at his meet in 3 weeks.

[ALPINEstar]

16 years old squatting 330lbs. Leg lifts are around there too.

Are you sure you mean Barbell Squats Denny?

Are you sure you mean Barbell Squats Denny?

Now I don't think so after you explained it to me.

I think that's my leg press max.

[cdavis50]

I believe I did 315 at like 15 years old. But the later part of 17 I could do 500lbs.

[dlutz74]

15, perfect form and full depth.
