James, is that 210x4 squat without wraps? If so and it's to proper depth it's fucking good! Even if it's with wraps it's still pretty good. Well done!

Thanks mate, it was without wraps, just a really tight buckle belt :). All the reps were about 1" below parallel. It was supposed to be 210 2x2 at the end of a peaking cycle, god knows where the 4 came from. I walked it out too.

I maxed with belt and wraps about 6 weeks after the brits and got 230 and it was hard, harder than the 317 was in my equipment so I reckon I get about 100kg or therabouts. Probably because my wide stance sucks for raw, but it does give a nice carryover.
