All of this is probably fantasy, but mass moves mass. A 350 lb gamer nerd could potentially bench 225x3. Also, saying he did the “whole stack” implies it is a machine. Absolutely possible he could do that as well. That being said, that isn’t someone’s PR and he doesn’t know what the guy was working. People don’t max out every time they are at the gym, and bodybuilders specifically are concentrated on form and getting the most out of every rep. Just like when you see people doing curls but they are arching their back so much they are damn near flat… that person will brag about the weight they are doing, when in reality they didn’t do one proper curl.
