If a natty can bench 315

[DavidWebbFk]

Is it impossible for them not to have a phenomenal chest

Regardless of whether they got there after 6-7 years of high volume training, or 2-3 years of strength training

Does meeting certain strength benchmarks guarantee a great physique?

Seen plenty of guys with crappy chests benching 315

You talking about fat powerlifters who if they cut would have decent chests

Or skinny flat chested non-lifting looking blokes

I can't bench for chit and I'm bigger than 90% of the kents in the gym.

Lol wot, weight 246 can only max at 300? You're doing something wrong.

Guy's chest is massive as fuk tho, even at 153lbs, u wot m9-1

I'm 6'5...? (no e-stat and close to 6'6) so hate to make excuses but at least factor that in.

Not to mentioned I started as a legit skeleton from the night before X-MAS so have only been my current BW for around a year now.

Strengths been great on squats and deadlifts and is still increasing but bench just phucking sucks da cornholes.

I do a lot of volume after I focus on my benching too and I have a pretty intense shoulder day so not sure when I've benched when 100% healthy and rested but there ya go.

Spoiler!

[DasKomet]

See fat f***ers at my gym doing it. Cant say 'bout pecs cuz hidden under man teats.
Always think though "let's see you cut to my BF and do that"

Max for me was 245x1 @ 165lbs. on my best day. I'm ok with it for now.

Both really. Strength and muscle size do not always go hand in hand. For example it's incredibly rare for me to meet a guy with a bigger chest than me (it's by far my best bodypart) but you could probably take any random guy off the street and there's a high chance he'd out bench me.

No hate bro, was just wondering because it seems like a low BW ratio compared to your squat which can be equally affected by height.

If you're doing shoulders with chest you obviously won't be as stong.

Was just suggesting that you could be do something slightly off with your form based off your other numbers/weight. I know I am still learning every time I lift.

My BW to Bench ratio is 1.41 right now, just did 255 last night at 180. Could have maybe got a few more pounds, not sure. However, I was able to do this easier because I finally got my inner tricep to really fire and stabilize, and it was the first time I felt that ever. So yeah always learning. And again you bench more than me, I've never put up 300, just seemed at a tad low at 246.

You can't have a sick looking chest without a lot of upper chest work or great genetics

Incline dB presses and flyes, incline cable flies, incline bench, will all give serious chest size when used together because most popular chest movements only really target lower chest

Best way I have found to target upper chest is Atrainer flies but standing, not on a bench like he originally suggested.

Basically the cable are setup slightly below shoulder level. No attachments on cables. Palms face up, try and have your elbows touch in the middle. No more than 10 LBS on each side needed. Slow and controlled with a big squeeze.

Good idea, repped

Flat bench build a lot of size in my chest

Too much work for me to consistently flat bench anymore. Just not a big fan

Edit: can still do plenty of weight on it when I want to, but chest has grown without it

[Andregood]

Dunno what I bench in lbs like 350 or something, got a great chest but primarily through chest insertion.

My chest was good when I started out to be fair, I've seen a lot of people arm/shoulder dominant with pressing at 315 and not have a great chest.

[Kameronn]

Its unlikely. For the overwhelming majority of people, they'll need a decently big chest to hit 315... There will always be genetic outliers and that's why they're usually put into the spotlight.

[DoctorJihad]

Some people will have a good chest at 315 bench, some people won't. It's not written in stone.
