No equipment- no belt, no wraps, just the pussy pad on the bar to cut down on forearm bruising. Smoked 255 for 5. Jumped to 275 and got my ass kicked- barely drug the 3rd rep up.

Update- about 6 months later. Now maxed out with 375 in December!

That’s sick. Good job.
I think I did 255 starting from a low rack position when I did them last. With a 12 inch box, I end up with my elbows digging into my thighs.
Try adding bands! Also, I like doing Zerchers with a 125 pound sandbag for higher reps, or you can hold a pair of heavy dumbells in the crook of each arm again for more reps.
