^ can't help- I'm 66

I think 270 is a pretty good squat

I still stand by my opinion 270 is a pretty good squat

For those of you near 50 y/o what is a good squat?

1.5x bodyweight is probably average amongst lifters at large.

You would want to be a lot higher than that to be competitive in weightlifting sports.

If you don't compete then it's pointless to compare yourself to others. Push hard every rep and take pride in your effort.

Personally, I find it helpful to know where others are in my age/weight class. In particular, my hunting RS brothers. Not competing in weight lifting just want to outwork my road hunting competition LOL. In all seriousness, my goal is to rehab the knee and lower extremity and I'm hoping with strengthening I'm less likely to injure the knee down the road. I'm doing legs 2-3x per week and loving it. Push hard/pride 100% agree.

It's good lift for your age, bodyweight, and level of training.

@Mule3006Elk don’t worry about what’s a good squat and what isn’t. Sounds like you’re on the right path to getting stronger. That’s what matters.
Keep grinding.

what is a good squat?

I started weight training for the first time in late December. I am a little younger and lighter than you. To me, 270 sounds like a good squat. Some of the guys on here go a lot heavier, but keep in mind that they've been weight training for years or decades. It is inspiring to me to see the numbers they put up, but comparing myself to them would make me depressed. We're all at different places on our fitness journey and that's alright.

2 miles with a 38# pack today.
