I only weigh 220.
Well, remember they have you pause bench (must be motionless on your chest, until the head judge says "press"). Plus, the bar has to stay even, your but can't come off the bench, and worst of all... you have to wear a singlet.
I do holdouts (negatives) with 625+, but no way can I pause bench anything close to that.
They are pretty picky on deads, too. The bar must be in front of both legs (no straddle stances). If you hitch (stop and start during the lift) or drop the weight too fast at the end, you will get DQ'd. It is very different from "weightroom" lifting. But, once you get the hang of it... it is pretty fun to compete.
