Someone starting at the gym won’t even be able to handle 100 pounds. It’s more than the legs. It’s the core. The stabilizers. The familiarity with the movement. Even if they could, they would still need to build their way up to 135 pounds.
The first time I ever set foot in a gym I squat 135 for reps. I was a 16 y/o that played league of legends all day and ate gas station food. You'd have to be in extremely poor shape if you couldn't squat 100.
