Best Answer

Ronnie Coleman has now retired as the greatest bodybuilder ever. He was in his best all-time condition for the 2003 Mr. Olympia. His video "The Cost of Redemption" shows him doing barbell bench presses for multiple reps with a workout weight of 495 lbs. Therefore, he was very strong. Remember that the purpose of bodybuilding is not to lift as much weight as possible. Instead, the purpose of bodybuilding is to create the best physique possible, and resistance training is a means to that end. Typically, according to his book HARDCORE, Ronnie worked his chest twice a week using three sets of four different exercises. Only one of those eight exercises was barbell bench press, which means that he did them only once a week. Furthermore, he would typically do about 15 reps for each set. That is very different from the training of a power lifter who is training purely for strength. The goal for a power lifter is to lift as much weight as possible for just 1 rep. Had Ronnie chosen to train that way, he undoubtedly could have had a very heavy single bench press. However, training for power lifting is a foolish way to train for a competitive bodybuilder. It is unnecessarily dangerous and, in terms of muscular hypertrophy, much less beneficial. So, whatever his personal best bench press is, that heavy single surely would have been much higher if he had trained specifically to increase it. In fact, he didn't train that way, and there's no way to know what would have happened if he had.
