For example I would expect someone who benches 225lbs for a single to easily knock off ten reps at 135, but someone who trains for ten reps at 135 to not necessarily be hitting that 225 max. But now with my 20 rep squat experience I'm not sure that is wholly true.

there is a lot of truth to that andrew, especially with the types of numbers you listed there. Dont for get that mentally those who havent pressed 225 before, may not be ready for that kind of stress. If you get under the bar, unrack it, and the first thing you think is "f'in A this is heavy" you have less of a chance to press it then if your body is used to that wieght.
One of the KB books I'm reading had a quote that said "if all you ever work out with is 30lb KB's, then 30lb KB's will always feel heavy to you".
