are your squats really that deep?? 265 for 5x5 means your 5RM is hovering around 315-325 on a conservative level which makes your 1RM equal somewhere in the realm of 365+ easy....that could actually be a texas state record, dude....in the raw category. are you sure your squats are deep?
you know, this is totally off topic, but i see so many other journals (not necessarily out here on bb.net but just generally) where guys who are weak (like me) and are struggling feel so bogged down by others who are pulling 700+ and squatting 500+ that they give way to bad form and other mistakes....i know that sometimes i have felt like that too but ive had to work on mental discipline to keep myself from doing silly things like that....i know that if i cheat or do something stupid today, i might have to pay for that mistake many years from now and in no way do i want that..
in any case: nice lifting these days...im sorry you couldnt lift during spring break..i went to Dallas with some friends and we went to the LA Fitness center for a day...i saw a dude pull 700. it was damn impressive. he used wrist wraps not wrist straps. i wonder why...

From watching your squat videos in the past I would have to say they prolly aren't as deep as yours but I am pretty sure they are around/past parellel. Can't say how deep exactly since I don't have any on video.
Maybe sometime we can squat together and you can check my form. I am sure my form could use some critiquing.
I highly doubt my max is anywhere near 365+ yet and pretty sure the state records are a lot higher. I've seen and know people squating a lot.
A 700 pull is very impressive must have been awesome to see in person.
