He should have called it moderately close, but not close enough to be called close grip, but closer than normal benching, with arms placed at an angle to attempt to hit the triceps more effectively than the chest, but certainly not "textbook" close grip. 
That would have cleared up any questions.

Not even close to close... My bench is about that naturally (not strenth wise, but just arm placement) that is not even close to close.

Still, it's a lot of weight... I won't take that against him.

I ain't doin it.

What's your best bench?  On that youtube clip you handle 365 very easily for about 10 reps.
