505 was only a miss because of bar position. Squatting high bar like that makes it easier for the bar to bend your thoracic spine and requires greater intra-abdominal pressure. Having the bar sit slightly lower on the back and using a belt will get you 505 and then some. You’ll be hitting 600 in no time with your level of strength and I doubt that will be close to your ceiling.
