You know, since everyone here is 6'4", 260 with 8% body fat, makes over 200K per year, has a ten for a wife, and is on-par with Chuck Norris in Martial Arts.

In 1983 we had 4 guys on a single A football team that benched 315 or better. There were 35 guys on the team. No one weighed more than 220 lbs. This in the days of one cup of water in a 3 hour practice, salt pills, and stretching was an excuse to be standing in one place so that you were easier to be dog cussed by a coach. Our weight room was an un-airconditioned metal prefab building with two benches. We measured our "max" one afternoon in the middle of August two-a-days.

A 270 lb bench press is not exactly the 4 minute mile.

That said, my 55 yr old arse would risk ripping my dick open trying to bench 135 right now.
