Ultimately its more about good form than how heavy you lift. Lift with good form and eat well and your weights will go up as they are meant to.
I'm 34 - when am I officially an old fart?

I think that being able to squat your own bodyweight is decent. But I think that I'll feel truly accomplished when I can squat 1.5 times my bodyweight (~340 pounds).
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Okay, my reading comprehension is shit today. I missed the "overhead" part of the question.
If you can OH Squat all the way down without falling on your ass, it's respectable.
My Back Squat is ~280, but my OH Squat is ~110.So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something

Are you implying that you can?

If you can do a deep overhead squat holding a towel in your hands I think that's respectable. I'm not kidding. Most people can't do a good looking unloaded overhead squat without form turning to shit. The most I've ever even seen someone do is 185 for a triple (It was DEEP DEEP DEEP).
The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

The best i ever did was 88x3 ATG. That was a very tough session, lol.
Doubt i could keep very good form anymore though, totally out of practice and find back squats hard enough now :P.

I have doubts you could do 185lb's as an overhead squat, for all I know you might be able to do it, but It's a different beast compared to front and back squats. Have you actually tried it? Originally Posted by Rubes
