Is it possible they were going for ego lifts? From your examples, do you know the weight they were lifting for each exercise?

One was warming up, so he was dead-lifting 135 and he normally lifted 300 x 8.

And the other was squatting in the 400's which was around his 5 rep max.

Sounds link these folks were really pushing their bodies. I don't think these fall in the "get in shape" weight ranges, but I'd be willing to listen to why that's not the case. Id imagine there are a lot more factors than just form that go into your bodies safety when you're lifting that big regularly.
