How much can you squat right now?

My last one was about 12 inches long and 1 inch diameter with a perfect double taper.
I stole a pretty good glance before I flushed.

Behind a grain bin on gravel road? 14 inches. In the toilet, rabbit pellets
No idea. With my back the way it is, squats and dead lifts are out of the question.
I can squat all the way down. It’s getting back up that’s the issue.
At 67, squatting to depth (thighs parallel) is difficult in its own, so my weight is very, very low. As it happens this week I hit 250lbs, which is a bit of a milestone.
Now, my son is a different story. He weighs 180 and his squat is north of 500lbs.
I refuse to tell anyone my bench and deadlift; squat is my least embarrassing.
OP: how much can you do?

I hear you. I have been working to increase my hip and ankle flexibility in order to get deeper on squats. Until I get there, I use the old plate trick to help me on heavy days (heels placed on 5lb plates).
I could probably do a set of 5 at 500lbs.
Oh and I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell.

Does the rep count if I crap my pants during it?
I think I could squat a $1,000,000 house.
Personally I think you’re crazy to be squatting at your age, but to each their own. I’m 41 and I gave up squats probably 10 years ago. I also fvcked my back up lifting like a maniac in my 20’s. Leg press machine all day now.
I stopped doing barbell squats a year or two ago, just too hard on my body. I do dumbbell squats now (holding a set of dumbbells at shoulder level). I did 6 reps with 85 pound dumbbells (slight pause at the bottom) this week.
I currently weigh 185lbs and can squat my weight for 3 decent reps. That’s as heavy as I’ve gone (by choice) so don’t know 1RM.
Pointed ends so your bung hole doesn’t slam shut. Well executed.
Agreed. Squats scare me. I haven’t walked and ducked into a squat rack in a very long time. I don’t do any leg lifting at all anymore and minimal upper body. Push-ups, sit-ups, stretching and cardio are all I’m into now. I feel like it’s all I should have ever been into sometimes.
I’m in the process of rebuilding from a L5/S1 disc herniation. Currently squatting 50ibs 5x10 😎
Also, I do not recommend herniating a disc.
Yeah, she’s always asking me for vertical 69’s too, so I do at least 10 a night. Of course I do it with extreme caution, don’t want my peen bitten off again, that’s an expensive surgery.
Maybe it was here or somewhere else, but there was a neurosurgeon or something in that vein that said all lifts that compress your spine should be avoided.
I squat about this much:

Before or after HROT poops on her chest?
With a belt and knee wraps I do 455 for 3-5 reps, low bar
IMO if you’re older, especially over 50, you should prioritize compound exercises. About 80% of my lifts are presses, squats, or dead’s. More bang for the buck.
As someone over 50, I look at it the other way...you should look like you lift weight. Curls, flyes and lateral raises, baby!
It's more knees with me but in any case, squats even without weights is out of the question.
Speaking only for myself (over 50) resistance training for “looks” is way down the list. When you reach middle age, loss of lean mass is the enemy. Of course, looking good is a worthy side benefit. I still do isolation exercises, just much less than I did 20 years ago.
