Judging from your profile pic, your body weight is even lower than 3 percent! You have an amazing physique. You should consider becoming a personal trainer and sharing your secrets!

tommodonahue is correct. Anyone who can squat 440 pounds 12 times going parallel or below is going to be an extremely knowledgeable, dedicated, and experienced lifter who certainly wouldn't be asking strangers online to tell him if his lifts are good enough. BS troll OP.

FYI, I'm a 200-pounder who can't do that and I train squats as hard as anyone in my gym.

I don't think your average 170 lb guy could put up 340 without some pretty serious training. I wouldn't recommend anybody try to squat 200% of their body weight without working up to it.

Absolutely! I wasn't implying it could be done without training.

That's it?

LOL. I know 17 year old kids who can do that. Come back when you can do that with 500 lbs.

Then we'll talk.

Anyone (male or female) squatting twice their own body weight WITH PROPER FORM (parallel or below) is very rare.

I'm impressed when I see someone squatting their own body weight to parallel

My best squat was 365 for 7 reps. I weighed 164 at the time. I think a 200 pound guy should be able to do more for sure.

I had a friend that could deadlift 425, he weighed 180 pounds at the time.

My husband's best competition deadlift was 505; he weighed 123. He used to hold a couple of state records.
