Did 315lbs x 5! Holding 5 plates between the legs with the belt and 2 plates in my hands, flat on my chest.
This is such a back saver, usually when I was squatting with a bar most of my attention was going toward my core / trying to avoid getting injured, now I can focus on the working muscles and on my form. I must say it's really nice to progress without setbacks. In the last 5 years the longest I went without back injuries was 4 weeks... Granted, I also stopped doing other exercises that was causing back injuries, like rowing BB or DB, DB presses, etc... but leg day was always the most risky for me.
