What is the average squat of an 8th grader?

Answer 1

The average 16 year old either has never been to the gym or hasn't been using one for over a year. Therefore I'd say about their bodyweight, so 60-80 kg maybe? that's an estimate though obviously.

The people below are estimating a lot more but that's definitly not what the average 16 year old would lift, a lot of people at my uni don't squat that much.

It really depends on your weight and height, but usually the average 16 year old squats 140%+ of his weight.

The upper-75 percentile can usually go for 180%+.

And Doing 210-230%+ of your weight is pretty darn good.

I'm 168.4 pounds, and can squat 375 lbs, but I have been powerlifting since 7th grade. And yes I'm 16 years old.

- Im 16 and am 62.3 kg an i squat 120kg, might be more now usually do 8 reps at 90 ATM and have been olympic weight training for around 6 months now
