Perhaps my max had raised to 172 with training but at 165 I knew it and I had to have a very good reason to push myself that hard and beyond--but it can be done on very rare occasions.
Edit---
COULD be done on rare occasions- I am nowhere near the 165 now but back in harder training to get near it again.
