So is 412 lb a good bench press?
If that lift is a bench press, 412 lb (187 kg) puts a man at 82.5–87.5 kg bodyweight at the 98th percentile of 29,914 judged competition benches — world-class. For a squat or a deadlift the same weight ranks lower, because those lifts are heavier for everyone.

365 lb × 4 — common questions
What is my one-rep max if I lift 365 lb for 4 reps?
About 412 lb (187 kg), taken as the mean of the Epley, Brzycki, Lombardi, O'Conner and Mayhew formulas. Individually they give 398 to 425 lb, so the range is the honest answer.
Is 412 lb a good bench press?
If the lift is a bench press, 412 lb (187 kg) puts a man at 82.5–87.5 kg bodyweight at the 98th percentile of 29,914 judged competition benches — world-class. That population all competed, so it is stronger than a gym average.
What should I warm up with?
The ramp below runs 165 lb × 5, 226 lb × 5, 288 lb × 3, 329 lb × 2, 370 lb × 1, then the working single at 412 lb. It is a conventional ladder rather than a rule; the test is that the last warm-up still moves fast.
