255 x 5 knees turning in on last rep. Keep em out brother! Even if you have to do less weight. 
245 x 4 knees started to bow, I forced them out and I couldn't stand. Lets strengthen that weak link before going to higher weights where you may injure yourself. 
225 x 6 makes huge difference to keep knees out. 6 was a bit sloppy. Good weight for now. 
225 x 5  started to buckle. Keep them strict for a few weeks and lets see what happens.
