Just saying, what in general does it take in terms of natural strength and hard work in the long run.

what do you mean what does it take?
consistency, hard work, dedication, and training with a 500 raw bench goal in mind. you don't have to be anything special genetically to bench 500 raw, you just need to put in the time501, 302, 551; 1354 @ 181

Wow, that's harsh.
The guy has asked a question that there is no real answer to but it is someting that a lot of people surely wonder about, i.e. "what is my potential"? Most people will catch on that all you can do is try hard and you'll find out." ----------I`m your Huckleberry......'"

I think he's saying how much does one need to weigh for 500 to become realistic.
If that's so...there is no set weight. I know some 220lbers that have managed the task.
I was 236 when I missed by inches.
Everyone has their own specific anatomical make up. Some will require more training than others.
And I do believe that not everyone has the capability to bench 500 naturally. Genetics do have limits.

Well I'd think currently Im on a decent pace since I only train to increase my bench once per week and Im at (basically) 225 having only benched for several months (but wasnt training it properly till just 8 weeks ago). I guess Ill know but the challenge for me will be to stay lean and hit the 400+ marks, if i became 220, it wouldnt be nearly as hard, but I like my 6 pack

some people wil never be able to bench 500 raw. But the only way to know if you can is to train consistently for a long time. You diet, injury prevention, and consistency will have the biggest factors i think. Like other people said if you gain a lot of weight it will make it easier, but 500 raw and natural is a big lift that a lot of people cant achieve.
