Ive seen my bar bend just pulling 425 lbs.

The bar bending when doing a lift is normal, they're supposed to bend, Hell every fucking solid object on this planet bends. Holding a barbell with 800lbs on it will have a great amount of bending but it will not hit its yield strength.

The problem with rack pulls is the bar itself is dropped onto pins, which creates a strong impulse which is a shit load more force applied over an incredibly short amount of time. At that point the bar is not just bending but it stays bent.

At 405 pounds? That sounds unlikely, unless the gym equipment is trash.
