The reason I don't believe it is not because that's too much for a pro athlete to bench, it's just a lot for a guy with long arms. Benching with short arms is much easier than with long.
McBride should be able to bench that, the guy is is about 6'7 300 lbs so 460 isn't even alot for some one his size, now if a CW or LHW said that they bench 460 that would be an impressive feat.
Its possible but i dont believe it going from 260 to 460 in that amount of time is damn near impossible not even with steroids do i see that happening and if it is true I would love to meet his trainer cause he just performed a miracle
It didnt take me that long to get my bench from 225 to 295lbs so in that time I have no doubt it could be done there are supplements other than steroids that help with strength. I had great success with No2 products.
You made a great gain in lifting by 70 pounds but he gained 200 almost 3 times as much as you I lift wieghts and can honestly say that a gain like that would take me at least 3 years of hard training to do yes the first 100 pounds would probably take me a year with a good trainer and a tough schedule But the next 100 pounds would be tough because of possible injuries and plateaus would end up taking me another 2 years to gain But all that practice and effort into bench pressing which serves little help in the ring I feel more sparring would benefit him greater
jUDGING BY HIS MUSCLE MASS he doesn't look like a guy who could bench 450 but it would,t surprise me. he is a big lad BUT THE TALLER YOU ARE, the MORE EFfORT IS REQUIRED AS YOU HAVE LONGER ARMS and further to go down and up MOST OF THE BEST LIFTERS ARE MIDGETS /small men. LOOK AT ARNIES PAL FRANCO COLUMBU AND MANY OTHERS. there under 6 foot. there are exceptions. The world strongest men has plenty of talll men I am 6 foot 2 and weigh over 220 pounds and i can bench close to 350, i can deadlift over 400 pounds and squat close to 400 I know a guy who doesn't carry any mass, but can squat, clean and press, and jerk some serious weights. I seen squat 500 pounds once. I seen him lift over 300 pounds over his head MUSCLE MASS DOESN'T ALWAYS TELL YOU THE STRENGTH
that is very impressive I dare anyone to try and bounce 600lb off your chest with out cracking your chest plate .
