440 wearing a shirt is possible for a big dude like that.

Simple, do the math.  440 - 50lbs for ego inflation = 390 he may have put up with a mighty spot.

It says at one time.  Pretty sure as thick as he is now he could have easily have done it years ago.  You have to remember not everyone lift like you.

This is no bullshit...

Frenzel was also known for his 400lb+ bench, a good friend of Armitage.

"Fenzel was used to pressure. As a lieutenant, he had driven his Bradley Fighting Vehicle down the runway of an Iraqi air base shooting up MiGs and taking return fire. As a captain, he had led a company of infantry into war-torn Liberia and faced down a mob outside the US embassy. [Eighteen months after 9/11, Fenzel would be the first man to parachute out of his C-17 in a nighttime combat jump into Iraq.]"

Could be possible some big thick fat strong guys with big bones and joints just excell at benching heavy without too much effort or time in the gym, so this seems pretty feasible with just twice a week benchung back when he was young, and 300 today is still well within the realm of reality.
