Guy in my gym did 405 for reps? Natural or no?

[BloodDrunk92]

Err I know that... as I said my goal is 405 for reps natty. I will probably get to 3 plates in 3 months.

well I definitely think its possible bro. My goal is 450 natty. Not sure if i'm ever gonna get there tho

[AirForceV]

Took a bit off benching cause of shoulder then came back, trained barbell again for a few weeks and hit 315x1.



I am sure if I have another 5-10 years on me 315 will be a warm up weight... 405 working.

ONE ****ING DAY.


fuk teen section again.


o well.


Crazy videos itt. 805 squat? WTF

[blkbelt42]

it's highly unlikely anyone is benching 405 for reps naturally
If they are naturally huge and been training for a long time I guess it's possible, but still highly unlikely.

what a moron post. is it unlikey because you can't do it?

If you're a dedicated lifter a bench in the 400's naturally is not out of the question at all. 500+ might be pushing it though.

Rehab PR's - Bench: 405 / DeadLift: 475....... low test and a year after surgery, prior to that
was lifting for less than 2 years. Lift alone, no spotter, never been to a gym.

Ill take a pic of this guy, he has a big belly but its not fat. It just protrudes out weirdly. He didn't even warm up, no wrist or elbow wraps or anything.

Edit: This guy isnt fat either...nothing like a lineman. It looks like he has pure hygiene, didn't get to see if he had a ton of acne or injection marks.

Sounds exactly like the competitive Weightlifters I grew up around.

It's possible without drugs, takes a lot of work, they don't do cutting just continue with strength training... Lotta eating!

Although the pros will tell you most humans struggle to get past over head push exercises at about 195kg / 428lbs for the heavy lifters.

Then you take your special vitamins...

I think I remember you hitting 405 a few years ago. I was impressed cause you only had like 1.5yrs on your belt. Props

I like to lift the same way, no spotter, lift in my home gym, though I am training one of my friends (he's making great progress) so I guess he's my workout partner for now.

i see a knee replacement in this guy's future

Actually his knees are fine and will remain that way unless he has an underlying condition, freak accident or suddenly starts squatting like a retard who quarter squats because they think hams to calves is bad for your joints. Give me a break.

I squat Hams to calves daily on squats (back and front), snatches, clean and jerk, cleans, etc. it's perfectly fine.

For those in this thread thinking a 405lb bench isn't possible without drugs are retarded. That is quite doable with out drugs.

Agreed. I think a lifter should be able to achieve a 2x bw bench press in their life time, natty.

[joshuadelapenha]

If Layne Norton can squat 600 naturally, I'm pretty sure a 400lb bench for reps can be done, but very hard to attain brah.

Also, how the phuck do your arms look like that and only 12 inches? Mind = shattered

Thats true, but this dude doesn't seem dedicated at all. He is really nice but seems like someone who might belong on Jersey Shore.
And they arent 12 lol.

[eatliftsleep94]

I may be off on this as i am a power-lifter, but i routinely see guys in my gym bench over 600 naturally, so im sure they could do 405 for reps

[strangeclouds]

Idk 2x bodyweight on bench is a lot tougher than you make it seem.

[gillG]

deffinetly possible but look at factors such as age, size, as well theres a rare amount of people who are just naturlally strong as well and in combo with strength training are VERY strong lol repped!

[Dingblok]

I believe this was prior to Babyslayer's prohormone cycle. Yes, it's possible, but there's still a good chance that guy is juicing.

is he having a seizure?

[Jmann96]

Biggest drug tested raw squat is 804 lbs without knee wraps and 953 lbs with wraps. They are powerlifting/low bar squats though. This is an olympic high bar squat.

Drug tested does not mean natural.

For the first time i saw someone in my gym bench press over 315. This guy benched 405 for like 6 reps. First 4 the spotter didn't even touch it. He wasn't even struggling.
My question is, is that even ****ing possible to do natural? Like most bodybuilders and people on roids are only benching 405 for a few reps...
Sry if this is a dumb question im just so surprised.

Yes it's possible

Yes it is possible. Are you aware power lifters who use roids have benched up to 700 pounds? R U AWARE?

I lol'ed, strong chest bounce. Still impressive for the weight.

I just turned 50, I weigh 218 pounds, I would challenge you to find a guy who works harder than me in the gym, I consider myself to be a pretty strong, not to lean lifter, I can barely rep 315 for once, currently repping 225 for 10 on incline bench, and squat 325, anyone whose natural knows how much effort and hard work it takes to reach this level, it's so discouraging to see 40-60 year old guys repping 315-405, I can't even fathom it, I'll bet if I decided to get on trt or steroids I would be an animal, at the end of the day I'd have to look at the guy in the mirror, in the eyes, I don't think I could do it, at this point in my life I think about it quite a bit, I really don't think I'd be being honest with myself, must be my upbringing, I guess if a person can get past this and go through with it, more power to them, so call me jealous/envious, but I think that's human nature, us guys watch each other, sometimes thinking, "wtf am I doing wrong???", I think the answer is nothing!, its MY journey, MY goals, don't watch you tube videos and get bummed out, if it looks unbelievable it's one of two thing I can guarantee, one, extremely rare and natural, two, there is something "un"natural going on, my two cents
