A milestone is more informative when the squat depth, bar position and repetitions are clear. Enter the total bar and plates, then use your bodyweight and sex to put the performance in context.

Open calculatorHow to assess back squat milestones
Compare the same depth and bar position before interpreting a change in weight or reps.
Match the high-bar squat
The source exercise is a high-bar barbell back squat. Front, low-bar and machine squats use different setups.
Count the bar and plates
Use the total barbell weight, including the bar, rather than the plates on one side.
Keep the squat depth consistent
A shortened descent changes the performance. Use the full-depth exercise described by the calculator.
Compare reps as well as weight
A set of five and a single at the same total weight produce different estimated strength results.
