Won't be trying for any max squats until after 80 C&J and at least 60 snatch.
If you have been reading the journal you would be able to tell that I havn't been back squating much since February.
I appreciate your concern about the single not meeting your standards, perhaps you could try posting a video of your own squats?
After you post a few good proper 1.5x bw squats (thats the equivalent of 90kg for me, which I can assure you, I can do that ATG lol), try doing just one at 2x bw, then try doing one at 3x bodyweight (which would be the 180 attempt for me).
There will always be critics Kerpal, and maybe this quote will calm you down:
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
