In what world is that "barely lifting"? I don't think I've ever even seen anyone in my gym bench that much
The person I was responding to is talking about SS, why 5/3/1 is more appropriate, and things of that nature.
If he MAXED out at a 225 bench, a 325 deadlift and a 275 squat, he has no business really talking about this sort of stuff. You don't even need a structured program to hit those numbers...you just need to do it.

I think you have a severely skewed idea of what it is common to lift.
Your view of what can be done in the gym is distorted by the gym you are in.
