This is making me really want to start powerlifting again. I got up to a 420 deadlift (sumo style), and 320x4 back squat, before I wound up drifting away from it.

I think once my shoulder finishes healing (rotator cuff surgery), I'm going to start lifting seriously again.

Go for it. The Iron Temple is the one constant, it's always waiting for you...beckoning. Will you heed the call of Brodin?

“The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you’re a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.” --Henry Rollins
