    If he is naturally strong then its believable.

    Maybe not, but it's not any big claim for a man his size. I bench 270 pounds and I am 165. McBride weighs 260+.

    He doesn't bench 460, he has no muscle and is all fat, plus hes hardly explosive.

    Plus hes shown himself up lying already - no way hes hasn't added 200lbs to his bench press. So he was either lying before or now. Hes lying now, but most guys lie about bench

    No wonder he can't box if he's training to max his bench press. Wasted effort.

    When I was working out when I weighed 155lb I was benching 250. So I have no doubt that hes up there. And also just because he benches that much doesn't mean anything. It means he can bench that and nothing else.

    A prime example as to why weight training has nothing to do with how well you can fight.

    check out tank abbot's bench press at youtube. ****in 600lbs (FYI, tank abbot is MMa fighter.) people didn't credit it because they say he "bounced" it on his chest. lol.

    Yeah I know, what the **** does that even mean. He is still lifting it.
    When I bench its harder going all the way down like that.

    I have a hard time believing people who claim bench presses of 400 pounds plus. That is a ton of weight gents.

    Former professional bodybuilder Dave Fisher was open and honest about his lifts and claimed his record bench was 440. His off-season weight must have been about 260 pounds or so.
    He too laughed at most these claims of 500+ pounds bench presses banded about so often.
    I have 2 of Ronnie Coleman's DVD's at home, Unblelievable and Cost Of Redemption.
    He doesn't exceed 460 pounds in any of his bench presses, and yes he's struggling (this is for 6-8 reps, but still.) Now, Coleman has long been considered one of the strongest bodybuilders on the planet as well as one of the largest. He weighs well over 300 in the off-season and deadlifts 800 pounds.

    That Tank Abbot "bench press" is not what I'd call a bench press. He bounces that thing off his chest and arches his back in the video. Using perfect form, he'd be very lucky to hit 500 pounds.

    That ain't a bench press. He lowers it fine and then bounces it off his chest. He actually only lifts the weight about 3 inches, in his strongest range of motion.
    Obviously a strong, strong man, but that lift would be disqualified in a powrlifting competition.
