I assume you are you using a machine to do that, correct?
My CrossFit gym just happens to be doing squats today at 80%+ of 1RM. Just looked at the leaderboard and one dude did 385 pounds. Next most is 335. One dude I know who is a moderately good CrossFitter (way better than me) I see did 255. None of these guys are rehabbing torn knee ligaments, and yes none of them are professional athletes. I get that pro athletes are mostly way above these guys. Just still believe that for a ligament that was surgically repaired a few months ago we don't have to act like 225 pounds is nothing. If he's doing that and somebody is evaluating that the knee is functioning properly and looking good that could be meaningful.
