Weigh 215lbs and I do reps of 315 12 times for supersets. I dont know what I max on, I dont usually spend too much time on my legs at the gym. Half because of laziness and half because im trying to cut down 200-205. Plus from all the years of sports your legs tend to get into shape by themselves, and I find more pride out of upper body strength. Gotta love excuses

Working legs (squating) enhances weight loss according to Men's Health. (I want to say David Zinczenko there editor and author of the book "The Abs Diet") Squating works big muscles in the legs which trigger then need fuel (calories) to work and recover. So you burn more calories throughout the day by working legs. Something like that.


As for squatting... Prior to 4 knee surgeries I was 185/190 doing 8reps at 405lbs and maxing around 500lbs... Now I am 205 and I dont try above 225 pounds for squats. My legs seem to get a bad hurt when I do.

I'm 5'7'' and I weight 155 and I squat around 250... I was into hockey training so legwork was important for me... Now almost never workout with machines, I do alot of body weight exercices....

Alot of people in my gym can do way more than me... but their form sucks balls and they always tell me that I have good posture when doing squats...
