I;m looking for a reliable max calculator for squat. I figure I'll try maxing out to see where I am next week, but I've plugged in the numbers online (5 reps at 350) and their calculations have led to numbers ranging from 408 to 420.

Try this one with the Lander formula. Should be a bit closer for you.

Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.

eh. You know your body well enough by now anyways. Those things weren't meant for you and me.
