Your point is flawed. A person that size can at least do one pull up. That means he can lift his own weight. So 6 months of a good workout routine would put him around 180 on bench
Nope, and wtf does a pull up have to do with maxing on bench press.

I maxed out at 275 yesterday. Anyone that works out even somewhat regularly for half a year should be able to get 180. It's not a lot of weight at all.

Now I know you don't work out much

Exactly, which is why ANYONE cant bench 180 pounds after 6 months of "semi-regular" working out. Which was my whole point to begin with.

He's 6'4 and less than 200 pounds and has a legit 4 plate parallel squat? Theres no way he's that weak in other area's while carrying the core strength to squat that much.

yes

This!
being 6'3 myself i know for a fact it is much harder for those of us over 6' to squat, we make up for it with core and upper body strength. If you are that height and under 190-200 you most likely rely on core strength but even still you should be able to at least bench your own weight...
These numbers just dont add up
this is a cruel joke!

Can you at least read? You can also find the pull up to bench press conversion and you will see that anybody that can do one pull up can bench their own weight.
There is no way this is true, my brother was 6'3" and 150 pounds in high school, he could barely bench the bar by itself.

Your brother sounds like a wuss. If he could do a pull up he could bench his own weight. Maybe his technique sucked

sad...
at 6'3 you should be closer to 190 at least... so that means he is extremely skinny and sad looking like a wet cat(take it how you will)

Lol, no.
For example, I remember being 145lbs. I could do pull-ups no problem as you could imagine. If you would have put me under 145lbs on the bench press, I would have died.

yup, Hell probably in about a 3-4 month routine in a good workout should be able to get to a 180 max, if you are trying.

Read all the books and articles you want. I saw with my own eyes a 150 pound male struggle to bench press a 45 pound bar and could do a pullup.

That is a problem with technique not strength. It takes a few times to learn technique on bench. If you can do a pull up you can lift your own weight. It is a fact
