Sometimes you really are the exception. Some of that has to do with conditioning, I have heard of elite rowers who can do repetitions up to 85% of their 1rm for 20..

I felt like I was sitting back hard, like I just pulled real constant and steady on the bar, pushed my heals through the ground until it broke w/ the ground. I just don't know. 405# felt WAY heavier than it should have and, of course, so did 425#. I just don't understand how I can press 135# for 9 reps and can just barely budge 160#. Deadlifts similarly.
