That is with 5 guys though, one of the head and two per side on the bench and basicly the same on Squat. One in the back two per side. I train at Westside Barbell in Columbus Ohio one of the best powerlifting gyms in the world. So Yeah it gets pretty scary in there. We got 198ers doing almost 600 Raw and he is at 800 Shirted. Makes for a fun morning in there :)

I once spotted a 630 squat by myself. I have spotted 700+ as one of three spotters. I spot 500+ squats on a weekly basis. It is at the point where it is routine.

I have spotted a 510 bench press as a side spotter and 450 as back spotter.

Having a good spot is essential when you are trying something you have never done or when going all out on rep work especially squats. I have seen people puke,bleed and pass out with the bar on their back. There better be at least three people with their hands close to that bar.
