Me!
Sorry, I should've been more specific. Doing anything close to that after speed work impresses the hell out of me. I just came off circamax, and start deloading Saturday, so my perceptions may be skewed. 
We tested for squat openers today, and 373 went up pretty easy. My max at the last comp was 365. I'm glad I tested the waters this time.
rj, it must be in the air. I hit 300 on 3 board last week too. I was pretty happy since this is RIGHT AT my sticking point. My floor press went from 177 wide grip (easier for me) to 185 close grip (harder for me). Looks like my shoulder rehab is finally starting to pay off. The bottom of my bench is starting to make sense with the top now. My floor press was stuck at 177 forEVER...8 months or more.

Squatted 365 off a 10 inch box with no breifs. Never had tried this before, so it was a PR, in the sense that I had never done more than that.
Height of the box makes all the difference in the world, btw. I have done over 600 off a high box (dumbell bench), and recently hit 585 off a 14 inch box, wearing breifs.
But neither of those made me hurt as bad the next day as going raw down to a 10 inch box. Ouch!!! But had to do something, videotaped some free squats and my hips have been locking up an inch or so above parallel, regardless of weight.
I thought I was chickening out a couple Saturdays ago by not going really deep with the 545 or so I was free squatting at Eastside, but then I went RAW a few days after that, and was unable to get 135 any lower than the suited 545 was. Hips just tightened up and locked. I even bounced up and down to try and get lower, but no go.
Hoping that a few months of work on the extremely low box will cure those ills.
