Box squats are often recommended - get one that is either adjustable or just the right height for your flexibility and - don't slam down, mind you, but lower, stop, then squat up from the box. You will find it more comfortable to adopt more of a prayer squat alignment - maybe even 90 degrees, but some folks swear by them for plateaus.
X3. I got to 605 doing these but I really don't like doing them. They will for sure help your drive out of the hole though.

Do you guys completely let the load off of your legs on the box squat? I know you have to keep the tension in the correct muscles to keep your form, but are you just hitting the box and coming off, or do you unload your legs, then get back into it. I've been doing the latter and with much less weight, it's working my legs pretty hard, but I don't want to fall into bad habits from doing it.
