I don't mean two exercises. I meant 2 days of lifting. Either 1 day heavy 1 day light or 1 day upper and 1 day lower. There would be accessory exercises as well that would be lighter weight higher rep to go along with the strength exercises. And for the heavy it would be just 2-3 working sets. You would do 2-3 lighter sets at the same rep ranges as well. So that guy doing 405 absolute max might do:

135 x 5
225 x 5
255 x 5
285 x 5
285 x 5

Then 3 sets of back, 3 supersets hitting all the delts, and 3 supersets of bis & tris.

Some people are against assisted lifting. They believe that doing 5 reps on your own at a lighter weight is the same a doing 5 reps with help. The assistance is taking that extra weight out of the equation. Personally I like to use assisted lifts from time to time to do negative reps. Once you are exhausted on the positive you can still do 2-3 on the negative and gain muscle from it. That is more for bodybuilding though than strength.
