re: Every time I find the 2.5s in the squat racks, I wonder WTF they are doing.

I did SL5x5 several years ago and those damn 2.5 were key. Went from empty bar (5x5) squats to 350lbs (5x5) without failure over the duration.
There is a big difference adding 15lbs vs 30lbs every week to your squats. Adding 30lbs would have created multiple failures.

Even now doing 531, I put on the weight the calculator says when I can.
If it says my set is 230 for bench or 320 for squat, I go find me some 2.5s to go next to the 2 or 3 plates on each side. I have learned following the plan gives best results.

I also ran SLs at one time, and I find it hard to believe you never failed along your way to 350.
