After nearly 20 years of lifting, at the ripe age of 46 I finally hit a 500lb squat today. 
SO I guess put me down for 495x1 for the challenge.
(Previous all-time PR was 490, hit once in 2010 and then again in February of this year.)

(500 x 1)/495 = 1.010101 reps

Nice work! I'll put it in. I think 6 is the biggest number we have w. 315 right now - seven and you're on top!

315 crew finally
First attempt (No no no that won't do for the depth Nazi.)
Second attempt (Rough rep but got depth.)

Thx... Now to try to get to 405 in a year or so.
Very close. Based on this picture (of your 2nd attempt) I'd say you're good albeit just barely.
Click on pic to enlarge. I got the picture by playing back your video full screen, 1/4 speed, and inching it along until you hit your lowest position, then I took a screenshot.
If you'd like, I'd be happy to post the screenshot without IDing you on the USPA group and tell you what people say, just LMK.

Yep. First one was questionable but the second one looked good. Nice work!
