Well, last week I missed a 467.5lbs squat after doing 390lbs x 5 reps.
Craig Hirota suggested to do the 1RM first, followed by the sets of 5. It worked! The 392.5lbs x 5 felt light (until I added more reps). Videos below:

- Missed 1st rep. Felt like it was going up, but then bent backwards too much and lost balance. Found out after the set that I didn't put collars on the right side of the bar and the two 45lbs plates were sliding off.
- Hit the 2nd attempt, then tried a push press immediately after the rep. Failed at the push press.
- Failed last set.
