Unfortunatly due to my arthritis in left knee as a child the leg is longer and really screws up my geometry for squating and makes balance a real pain in the ass. I still realize the importance of the squat but because of left knee problems (and no training partner) I do squats in a smith so my weights dont count.

I've straight bar squatted around 500. I dont like it much though.

I've never tried Box Squats, but I'm very interested.

Safe Squated 700x1, and could have gone higher, but no need to put yourself in that kind of danger in a non-serious competition (which I easily won).

I've been working out for about 32 years. I didn't make the big gains til the last 7 years. That's when I really started to concentrate on the squats. I use a 3 sets of 5 reps scheme and 5 sets of 3 reps scheme. Squatting twice per week. I can email you the squat routine I use. It is based on Artie Dreschler's squat cycle in his Weightlifting encyclopedia. BTW, I'm 45 and weigh 205#.

God damn fellas. Good to so many tree stumps round' here. This thread could serve as the pillar for the "Leg's First Foundation". All pencil-legged individuals need not apply!
