Is this good at a body weight of 200 pounds? This was in my prime when I was 19 until about 26 or so.

I just heard tonight that guys should be able to squat twice their body weight..so if that's accurate, then I'd say YES! That said, please post pictures proving it

Don't ask other people is your achievements are "good" or not. Set your own goals, and let yourself be the best judge of your performance, especially when it comes to personal fitness.

Pretty sure this guy is looking for internet brownie points, which is a clear sign of a lack of truth in the post. No one that can squat 440 for 8-12 reps (which is pretty close to national/world records if we're speaking of a 80% 1RM)... is going to ask for verification on the internet.. unless of course, these squats are quarter squats.

I guess you have been lucky and not had the experience of the forum troll, RickSantos.

RickSantos also used the name Razwell according to another internet site.

A guy named Rick Santos (has gone by Razwell also in the past) has tried to chime in but I've blocked him.
Based on the OP and the below link, it does look like they are the same person:

I took a layoff from lifting since November 2009. Just a week back I shoulder pressed a 50 pounds bar plus the 35′s – 120 pounds 13 reps. After a one year layoff.
2006 50 pound bar plus 45′s 140 pounds for 7 reps.
In my prime 1994- 1996 160 pounds for 8 – 11 reps very little leg drive at all except last reps
180 – 188 pounds for 4 reps using legs behind the neck push press
400 – 440 pound squat for 8 – 12 reps.
A well known NFL lineman who I spoke to back then was impressed.
