135 lbs of squating. Sorry to tell you this , but if you plan on working out you better be doing way more then that.

I know every high school in sports could squat that.

leg muscles are the the largest group of muscles and could take alot more weights.
Squatting involves a lot more than just leg strength. Some people have the right body mechanics to do them heavy, many do not. I can leg press or hack squat at least 5 times my body weight easily, but I can't even do my body weight when squatting before my back, knees, and ankles all start telling me very distinctly to stop immediately.
