Why do you americans use lpw instead of kilogramms and foot/inch instead of meter/centimeter? DO you use these units in physiques and math too?
Yup! Americans RARELY use the metric system, it's pretty wack!

I haven't maxed in a while, but I've been doing 500 squats with just the 45lb (20.45 kg) bar stopping for 3-5 deep breaths after each 50 reps. After about 200, I really start hating myself. By the end, I'm practically on fire.

I maxed out @ 305 yesterday from a previous 275 max.

I can do 185-200 for 4 sets of 12 comfortably.

But I usually do 155 for 8 sets of 16

im have maxed out at around 170kg in the full squat, its not a good exercise for me due to having long legs and a short trunk.

325 was my 1RM a month ago. I've only squatted two times since. That sh!t tears up my legs and kills my back, even with a belt.

Once, when I was much younger I squated 5 plates a side for one rep and tried a second and the guy spotting me didn't do it right and so I dropped to my knees with the weight still on my shoulders. I held it ther for about 5 seconds and then had to let it fall backward. My spotter didnt move and he ended up with the weight falling on him. Luckily for him he ended up under the bar sort of thing so he didn't take the brunt of the weight. Scary moment!

5 plates = 495 lbs

I'm 12 with incredible genetics and when I did go to the gym on the cruise I had no weight training expirence and I'm 5'0, 17% Body Fat and I got on the Leg Press and had a 400 (that's all it went up to) for 3 reps but never had accses to a smith machine. Is it possible to find an estimate calculate for squat using your leg press stats?

No. If you have strong quads (which you probably do judging by the leg press), you're half way there to having a strong squat. All you need to do is work on your hamstrings.
