Is it possible it’s a strength endurance issue rather? I can do sets of 10 with my bodyweight for squats (that’s, my bodyweight in plates on the barbell)
Hi Thrusthamster,
I guess your goal is not to become a weightlifter but here is relevant chart of strenght standards for the squat: http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/SquatStandards.html
On the same website, you can also find the relevant standards for deadlift, press, etc.
For men, one easy to remember standard for a decent amount of strenght is around 1.5x BW for the squat, probably around 2x BW for the deadlift.
