According to Strong Lifts, if you can't do 5 sets of 5 reps (25 squats total), you're not able to squat 70lbs. Once you can complete 5 sets of 5 reps at 70lbs, then the next week you can increase to 75lbs, and keep increasing everytime you can complete all 5 sets. Make sure to rest inbetween your sets. If you are able to do 20 reps at 70lbs all in one set, then you can increase your weights til you find a set of 5 reps challenging enough to take a breather before the next set.
