Look at his plant here:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT5-N2vIJtQ" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT5-N2vIJtQ</a>
He basically bended at the knees, pretty much no hip bend, no rotation on the plant, no low center of gravity for proper "loading", no nothing.
I'm not disputing age, I don't care about age - what I care about is how an individual that had a certain plant style in the past didn't have that plant style here^^^
He did plant like in the old days (though not as low) in here:

I love how he plants that right leg and rotates on it, "throwing" his left leg into the ground. Whenever I did that in real life I definitely got higher. I load much better doing that than with a "linear" approach.

and he probably meant 160 lbs bodyweight. Also, 188 lbs half squat. Imagine if he would get stronger to realize what his real ceiling is. Sotomayor was heavier but he was doing 160 kg snatches and had a 3x+ half squat.
