Olympic squats, help me out here


I weigh 80kgs and I've been told I'm very very good at the back squat for my size. My question is, if I wanted to qualify for the Olympics in 2016 what would I want to be able to lift? My conditioning coach for rugby says if I keep at it then it's entirely possible, but I want to know what someone my size lifts at the Olympics in the back squat. Just so I have a rough idea!

Thank you!

I find it's a decent enough guideline if you want to measure yourself against something.
