Ben's squating with 495

The thing that you are missing is, at that point in his career, Ben was one of those people who shouldn’t have unracked the weight and done “REPS/SETS” with it. You can’t tell me that the positives (if there are any) of that lift outweighed the positive. Judging from the bouncing and apparent excessive spotting, he would have been better served to take at least a plate off. This only underscores the value of good coaching in the weight room and I can’t imagine Charlie giving the green light on anything remotely close to that.
