Well...
You can't assume that a 315 bench press 6 times means an automatic 375-400 1 rep max. Mathmatical calculations don't apply to the process of metabolic work. And.. he said that he knows of a few who can't bench it 6 times, so lets assume they can bench it 4 times, those 4 times are probably in atrocious form. Which mean that they probably have a 330 max in perfect form. Many pro bodybuilders I've seen working out don't exactly have picture perfect form by any means. Again many pros are very strong but they often aren't anywhere near as strong as advertised. The top 198 lb power lifters in the world are about a bazillion times (rough estimate ^_^ ) stronger than the top bodybuilders even though they are much lighter (by 60-100 lbs or more), have a higher bodyfat % and aren't on anywhere near the amount of drugs on average. The main hypertrophy a bodybuilder experiences is hypertrophy of non-contractile tissues. Heck, Arnold's best competition bench when he was power lifting was only in the high 300's. Yes many pro bodybuilders are semi strong but they are pretty damn weak for their size when compared to strength athletes. It all a matter of what you train for.
