I am not a big guy either, but this was the first time I had squatted 225 in over 5 years due to sore knees.
I was also 8 weeks out at this point at 170-175lbs.

This is not me, it's my training partner. This was a PR for him, he was quite fired up!
I did not see in the weightlifting rule book that you have to start from the floor.His form is awesome though, he even unloads the weight at the bottom of the movement.
Being hardcore has nothing to do with what you wear, it's an attitude.
I am privleged to train at my gym after hours as I have a key. He decided to go topless, I never do.

Here is a video of my squats taken my last leg workout. As you can see, I have started using little 2.5lb plates underneath my heels to help me sit down even further into the squat and utilize a lot more glute and hamstring into the movement. My flexibility and structure don't allow me to get this low without leaning way too far forward. This method works for me and my legs are much sorer in the glute ham area than they ever were before since doing this. Some people have suggested flat soled shoes like Pumas (or something similar), but the problem is that I have really wide feet and I can't fit into them (they all run narrow). I've tried wrestling shoes, but I still lean forward. This approach has been working and I can now sit down deeper than I could before. I'm really happy with this depth, so this is the depth I have been using and will continue to use every time I post my numbers!
Here is a video of my Hack Squats from the last leg workout I did. This set was pretty good...I had already done a couple of sets leading up to this weight because I forgot what weight I was using in the 6-8 rep range lol. This set had 6 plates and a 25 on each side...felt pretty good. I believe I did one more set after this one and worked up to 7 plates. I love this hack squat and being able to load up heavy weight to work on the quad/hips.
