Squat Test — how many can you do without stopping
One set of squats without rest shows which level to start at. Enter your result to see the plan day by day.
How to take the test
- Warm up for 3–5 minutes: arm and hip circles, a few easy reps.
- Do one set without resting — as many reps as you can with good form.
- Only full reps count. When your form breaks down, the set is over.
- Write the number down — it is your starting point.
What counts as a rep
- Feet shoulder-width apart, heels on the floor the whole time.
- Lower until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor.
- Stand up to fully straight hips and knees.
- Back straight, knees tracking over your toes.
