Larry Allen's BS 700lb bench press. With 3 other guys LIFTING the bar this does not count as a 700lb bench press.
I just came across this article http://www.criticalbench.com/b ench-press-combine.htm from Gregg Damminga who is a bench press coach. At the end of the article he has a table that has the approximate amount of reps you should be able to do for 225lbs based on your 1 rep max. For a 1 rep bench of 495lbs he calculates you should be able to do 40-45 reps. Please note that Larry Allen did 43 reps for 225lbs which would put his bench around 495lbs (Nowhere near 700lbs). I know this won't convince his fans who know close to nothing about lifting weights, but it does strengthen my argument. I've said since the beginning that Larry Allen is about a 500lb bencher, not a 700lb bencher.
