That piece of Platz squatting should be a goal for almost anyone training in the gym. I believe Justin Harris is getting close to that #. I remember reading sowhere he'd like to either match or break his reps w/ that weight.

I once saw Tom Platz working legs at World Gym in Santa Monica. As I entered the building three big dudes crashed out of the door and puked right there on the sidewalk. I could hear what sounded like a hundred people screaming in agony. I thought the building must be on fire or something. When I rounded the corner past the front desk the words got more clear, "Tom, no more, please God, stop him, stop this insanity, we can't take any more! He's not human," and stuff like that. Tom was doing squats.
