So is 368 lb a good bench press?
If that lift is a bench press, 368 lb (167 kg) puts a man at 82.5–87.5 kg bodyweight at the 93rd percentile of 29,914 judged competition benches — elite. For a squat or a deadlift the same weight ranks lower, because those lifts are heavier for everyone.

335 lb × 3 — common questions
What is my one-rep max if I lift 335 lb for 3 reps?
About 368 lb (167 kg), taken as the mean of the Epley, Brzycki, Lombardi, O'Conner and Mayhew formulas. Individually they give 355 to 382 lb, so the range is the honest answer.
Is 368 lb a good bench press?
If the lift is a bench press, 368 lb (167 kg) puts a man at 82.5–87.5 kg bodyweight at the 93rd percentile of 29,914 judged competition benches — elite. That population all competed, so it is stronger than a gym average.
What should I warm up with?
The ramp below runs 147 lb × 5, 202 lb × 5, 257 lb × 3, 294 lb × 2, 331 lb × 1, then the working single at 368 lb. It is a conventional ladder rather than a rule; the test is that the last warm-up still moves fast.
