Hi,
Havent seen a 500 thread for a while, missed the last one, not that i was ready for it!
My dead is 550lb (last test 3 weeks ago)
Bench is 335lb (all unquipped, i.e with wrist wraps and belt, but nout else)
(im 6 foot 2+ and do have disproportionately long limbs…)
Struggling with squat tho! 190kg only, so, 410lb or so? I got it up quickly by doing ME once a week, and happily it went up 10kg per week but its stalled a bit tbh.
I’m toying with the idea of ordering some squat shoes, olly ones, like the Adidas II ones:

I assume these’d be alright for most unequipped PL comps? legal? I prefer to squat high-bar for real depth, not into the low-bar widestance, doesnt agree with my hip ‘mechanics’.
Current routine is:
(all in Kilos)
60kg warmup set, lotsa reps just diff stances, full reps, bottom-partials etc warming it all up
100kg x 1
120 x 1
140 x 1
160 x 1
180 x 1
190 x 1
PR attempt x 1 etc etc
drop the weight to 140 or so, do some 5 x 5, last time was 140 x 5, 140 x 5, 150 x 5, 160 x 4, 180 x 1 (again)
then we 120kg for bottom-half partials, sets of 5-7 just to hammer the hips.
Sometimes we do boxsquats and GMs.
Any thoughts?
walking funny today… 
had a look at Storm the Beach’s thread and his 5, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1 or similar, i reckon i need more volume before the 1 rep maxes, didnt feel warmed up for it.
cheers

**edit sticking point is about 40% of the way back up the rep
