Maybe it's time to focus on mobility, flexibility and recovery as opposed to how many plates you can put on the bar. Just saying.
I've only been using 135 for squats, doing squat cleans in sets of 10 & back squats sets of 20. Focusing on proper angle, technique & hip flexibility. Once those improve more I'll go back to loading it up.
The gym can very much be like real life where guys try to impress other guys and don't even realize it. I use like friggin 15s on shoulders because I know my mobility issues. I'm sure others snicker but I do me.
