The deal is, I’m doing a statistics project, and I came up with the idea to do thigh circumference and single max squat weight. So, if you’d all be so kind, I need to get some data:
Sex:
Years Training:
Thigh circumference:
Max Squat:
If you don’t know, it’s fine to estimate. No one is getting the fields medal for this.
interesting idea, maybe also include a couple more variables? ie weight, height, waste size (never seen one of the really lean guys squat alot at the gym, calf size). this could be a really cool thread.
Sex: m
Years Training: 6 months
Thigh circumference: 24
Max Squat: 280lbs (then my calf pooped on me)
ya, if you only ask for thigh size thats reducing all the data to one variable, i think waist,calf,thigh is good enough for the measurements, what you think?
This is basically a simple second level Data Analysis II course. You simply pick a variable and a predictor and make a hypothesis. So my hypothesis is that thigh circumference has a correlation to squat weight. Then you make a simple regression model to see if there is in fact a correlation. So pretty much all I need is just these variables. You can add height if you want.
Sex: Male
Years Training: 3
Thigh circumference: 29
Max Squat: 420
completely agree with p-dog. The first thing that I thought was ‘how are you standardising the depth of the squat?’ Without doing that (along with height), it really looses any significance. Or if not height, at least leg length, or distance from the middle of the patella to the asis etc.
I was thinking that a squat is a squat is a squat. I don’t know how else you’d standardize squat depth except to powerlifting regulations (i.e. the crease in your hip is below the knee joint).
