Again, just like the Deadlift Chart, here is the place for the Women to post 1-rep max squat efforts. We'll have two categories: Oly-style (ass-to-grass) and Powerlifting-style (just below parallel).
So, post your bodyweight on the day of, the squat itself and type, and any goal you'd like to list!
I'll tally up the rankings once a month (first weekend) and post. The first set of rankings will be posted next Sunday.

Whenever I mentioned it, it was after Paula had a PR lift but she didn't think it was enough to put on the main chart, since all those numbers are so high. I posted that I felt the same. I'd be excited about a lift I got, but it seemed pretty lame by comparison to the ones, mainly from men, on the chart.
I don't think anyone is trying to suggest that women shouldn't post their numbers on the original chart if they want to. You are awesomely strong, so you can compete!
I went digging through the workout notebook for my beginning of the year workouts. THe first DB squat I did was with 7.5 lbs for 10 reps

So, why is the first link in your spam signature to wheelchairs? Are you saying these women are lame?
I ADMIRE YOUR DEDICATION AND EVERYONE KNOWS SQUAT IS NOT THE EASIEST EXERCISE. AS ADVICE ENSURE YOUR BACK IS PROPERLY PROTECTED AND YOU PUSH YOUR BUTT OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE SUPPORT FOR THE BACK. I HAVE SEEN ALOT OF MY COLLEAGUES RUIN THEIR BACK BECAUSE OF IMPROPER LIFTS. ONE MORE THING DONT INCREASE THE WEIGHT UNLESS YOU FEEL ABSOLUTELY COMFORTABLE WITH IT.
First order of business, caps lock off please. Typing in all caps has the appearance of yelling.
When squatting, at least until the thigh is parallel, but if you can go ass to grass, or ass to ankles, without lifting any part of your foot or falling backward, you're golden.
I've not done real (heavy) back squats in at least a year since our gym only has a Smith machine.
Hence, I've resorted to front squats as I can use the fixed wt bb rack for those.
Highest wt sofar was 70kg (154.2#) when I was 62.8kg (138.3#) myself: factor 1.11
Those were just regular parallel squats (can't do Oly w/o tucking in)
My girlfriend hit a nice Olympic style squat yesterday, 190lbs at a bodyweight of 154. She's 3 weeks out from her first figure show. She also hit a 145lbs front squat for 4.
