It's hard to guess, but coming from the same type of lifting philosophy, I can tell you that it's a difficult transition.
I used to bench the exact same way (minus the spotter), and when I changed to a PL style bench I probably lost a net 50-60#. I say net because I lost some due to bar speed, but gained some due to technique improvement.
Dude is at a crazy disadvantage because of those LONG ASS ARMS, too. Good lord, the bar has to travel a mile for big ol Larry!You're perfect, yes it's true. But without me...you're only you. -

blah blah bounce blah spotter blah
Guy looks like he could hit a legitimate 550-600 raw bench in a PL competition without even training specifically for it. FuhREEK.Ph.D., Theoretical Physics '16

Man, those arms are terrible for benching, but those arm and his strength is what made him such an amazing player. Just a hair taller and I bet he coulda played tackle rather than guard.
Yeah, insane. He had the strength to pancake just about anybody in the leagueComment

I'd like to see him incline bench. I'll bet he can toss up insane poundages there too.You're perfect, yes it's true. But without me...you're only you.Comment

This is (basically) what 225x50 looks like. Stephen Paea puts up 49 reps with 225. Granted, his arms are much shorter and he's more compact than Larry Allen, but look at how he throws that weight around.
