Only the thoughest, the strongest, the most skilled survive 90 mintues on the pitch. To be that warrior, you must play like a warrior.

I work at a gym and people ask me how much weight they should lift etc etc...mate you will never know till you try!
Theres no way of saying you can lift "X" amount of weight!
Go squat, i would say take it light for abit and get form down and then start seeing how much you can lift for 6-8 solid reps.Vision is purpose, and when your purpose is clear so are your life choices. Vision creates faith and faith creates willpower. With faith there is no anxiety, no doubt - just absolute confidence. R.I.P ZYZZ - YOU WILL BE MISSED BRAH March 24 1989 - August 6 2011

If your just starting out squats, may I suggest doing your squats on a machine first? build some strenght in your legs and it'll help you develop some formOriginally Posted by Kiknskreem

Warm up with a bar and then try 110lbs (50kg). Increase the weghts if it's easy.

NOTHING is sacred.
"BUT... it's way too easy to get caught up in all this ****ing minutia- like the kids on the Teen forums who won't eat regular peanut butter because it has 4g of sugar or whatever, ATG nazis, obsessing about every part of training, etc. Simplicity works." -101CavGrunt
