Early this morning , Getbig's BS alarm went off big time with a couple of posts from ERIC2 : aparently he claims a close to 500lbs bench...
" It is very possible. I did just that. In fact I went up 5 pounds a week for 12 weeks straight.
Train like a power lifter. Bench once per week and do an assistance movement fours days after bench day such as close grip bench. Train your close grips in the same manner and aggressiveness as flat bench and go for as much weight in close grips and your regular bench will explode.
I was at one point repping 315 for 6 reps in close grip bench press.
Also train your back with one exercise only and do it same day as bench, right before you bench too. I would recomend bent over barbell rows. Do these on assistance day as well.
I went from 385 to 445 in 12 weeks.
WARNING: mind your shoulders dude. I fucked mine up by not warming up enough on the 12th week.

and another one :
"ell I thought I was doing pretty good w/#365 bench for 5 reps one day. When out of nowhere this big guy in dirty sweats...........must have been 6'2 around 300 pounds warm up w/315, then tossed another 45 on. He then pressed the 405 up and down so fast and under control that the plates rattled loud. ( God I love that). I lost count after 10 reps. He then tossed another plate on for 495 and rattled that for around 5 reps with ease. He then through his sweat towel over his shoulder picked up his bag and walked out the door as his friend unloaded the bar for him.
No matter how strong I may have felt before I was humbled to say the least. This dudes forearms where like Popeye's, and the rest of him was nuttin but muscle too.
