Those were my results. My legs are short, which helps, in terms of moving weight.

I had only gotten up to 145 on the bench press.

I tend towards having a high amount of muscular endurance and not strength.

At the time, though I wasn’t as strong as others would have been, who had a similar amount of training, I could push my maximums several times and not just once.

I think that either you are getting numbers mixed up, or a smith machine is much different than actual squats. I've only competed in the 148 pound class a few times and I took 1st place for sqauting, IIRC, 225. Greater than 400 @140 sounds invalid unless you compete nationally. The world record for 148 is 556.

If you can squat over 400 lbs @ 140, you should be competing in national powerlifting competitions.

Your maximum is the same as your one-rep max. You can calculated it here
