I am curious as to how these milestone numbers (300/400/500) came about. I first read of them in Brawn and the author said that anyone training hard and intelligently can reach these goals. I have long limbs and don't seem to do well on the bench press and squat. Any scientific studies on how these numbers were derived?

I doubt I can make it into the big league. I am at 205/330/480. With a few powerlifting tricks, no bench shirt, I could increase my bench to 225 but I'm still going to base it on my regular bench form. Do you guys use your regular form when recording your 1RM numbers or powerlifting style?
