It was quite a surprise actually. I think I had competed like 2 months before and done a hard 575 which was at my limit. I was disappointed I couldn't attempt 600 at that competition, so I got back into training almost immediately. Did 605 like it was nothing. This was back in 2013? if I remember correctly.

No idea srs. I've accepted I'll never get there. Most I've seen in person was guys squatting 4 plates for reps. This was at an oldschool bodybuilding gym.

Does three 200lbs reps count?

Yes, you do lots of squats to get stronger and then you can squat more weight for a single rep.

300 lbs squat for 5x5 lol. I did 265 for 20 at one point, and have it in mind to try to get 300 for 20 in the future.

I benched 305 for 1 back in HS. Long long long way from that now. Lost a bunch of weight and my strength in college.

You were too close to 315 man. You have to get it. Do they still make Cell-Tech?

Personally I never liked to go to heavy on squat (no 1 rep max). I prefer higher reps and love the rubber-like feeling after legs are done, your legs all swelled up and you can barely walk home.
