http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/SquatStandards.html http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/SquatStandards.htm... Really it's somewhere between 250 and 300, but I chose 270 because 1) it's in the middle near where average-weight men would be and 2) starting strength just keep being good right up to around 300 pound squats.
