I haven't done a 1 rep max in years. My heaviest sets on workouts (8-10 reps) are:
Bench: 245
Squat: 365 to parallel (top of quad is parallel to the ground). I can't do the below parallel stuff, it tears my knees up. They start cracking and popping.
Deadlift: 405... I just recently starting doing these again after years of avoiding them
I'm not really looking to get any bigger than I am or impress anyone with the numbers. I'm ~210lbs @ 5'10" right now with 175lbs of lean body mass. I've been lean before (170lbs @ 11%BF) but I looked scrawny. I'm much happier at my current size. I could lean out a bit but I'd be miserable without my Slurpees.
