There's no such thing as a natural bodybuilder.

634 was not raw, however, I do believe he benched 535 raw, just like "the coach". But tested does not mean natural my friend.

The olympics are "drug free and tested."  Do you think there are olympians who use and haven't been caught?

Yes. But with some powerlifting technic.

But more than 90% of natural cant bench 5 plates with solid bbing training form.

Why 90%? Cus always surprising exception exists in this world..

Agreed, Monster T. In fact, I shortly expect The Coach to post a link to a thread from his forum on the same subject (not the video, though) - that should prove beyond a shadow of doubt that he is as gifted a bencher as he is a political analyzer.

If you are 5'6" you are technically a midget and the range of motion is too small to be considered a legit lift. I am not saying I want to midget toss the little fella cuz he sounds pretty strong, but no way does the lift count.

How come there is always at least one fella clinging onto some "guy" they knew who was incredibly strong, lean and muscular who was 100% natural?

Never any evidence...

By the way, most people don't admit their steroid use anyway.

Yes, but very rare. You've also got to be willing to become a big fatty(read mess) if you're going to do it naturally.

Offhand, a man of average height would most likely have to go in the 300+lb range to do it naturally.

Of course its possible. My good friend, Ryan Gillis, Benched 500 when he played offensive line for the Central Florida Knights (UCF).
He was also 6'4 315-320 pounds at the time. I know for a fact he was clean. He was tested 5 times, including "suprise" tests by the authorities.  I am very close to the family & have known him a long time.  He is a BIG MAN.
    He specialized in the bench press-and he was huge guy. He played with Dante Culpepper, and played Arena football for Orlando.
I'll admit it was hard to believe, but he never partied, and force fed himself around the clock.  But for a guy that is 5'7", and weighs 230-240, I would have to say "no".
     What stops alot of guys from going heavier & heavier are shoulder problems. After he retired, he had his shoulder "Cleaned out", where they shave off the bone spurs that are digging into the rotator.

I think it would be possible for most guys who are reasonably strong and are able to benchpress 225 at around 175-180.

Then 'all' they would have to do is to eat and train.

Get themselves real fat - I'm talking 400-440 lbs here - and train some benchpress in the process.
 
I'm positive they would be able to handle 500 lbs then.

At a more normal body weight though - like 220 lbs or less - only a handful people in the world can do it natural IMO.

well, it's a very rare case to have 220 pounders pressing 500lbs naturally. very rare. I seriously doubt this clown here is natural

its rare for a 220 roided bodybuilder to handle that kind of weight... i havent seen a natty go over 3 and a half paltes with my own eyes

i wouldnt say its impossible, bound to be one or two people in the worl who could do it,,, be intresting to see what the pre war bench records were, before steroids became available?

hahahaha, "i knew a guy who drank 5 gallons of coffee a day and worked in the woods chopping down trees and he benched 950 for 12 and was 7'5" and 568 pounds". ;D

I know him. Rides a big blue ox, right?

Trouble with that is that "real bench pressing" is relatively new. Benches with proper uprights only started to become available in the early 50's. Before that, you had the loose belly toss, the floor press, or pull over and press.

Very rarely would you have a team of lifters lift a barbell over a lying lifter to attempt a max.

I can tell you that a elite floor press for a decent sized man(200-225) would've been around 350 ish. Joe Nordquest was a record holder for many years with 388lbs in the lift at around 200lbs.

Doug Hepburn was famous in 1950 for benching 400lbs., needless to say he was a big guy. Between 1950-1953, he'd run his bench up to 500lbs.

Lol, I've seen the thread of him measuring his arms, and they were just under 19"...that was like 2 years ago, you even commented on the thread.

Stop hatin on him, and just focus on your own lifting. 

I find it hillarious because you conversate with him on the T&O board, and then try to take him down on the G&O board.

Get a life QuakerOats.  ???

You whole internet persona is built on trying to tear others down if you had said I was 20 inches by summer I'd be like cool man o hope you get it. Your a jealous guy  how sad

and the handful of people who could handle it are most likely not BB.

I think 405 would not be unreasonable but would still be extremely rare to see a all natural BB do this either.

Powerlifting is different all together, and its still a big deal when someone can do 500 raw all natural.

yes...... maybe and if so it would be extremely rare. the average guy "claiming" all natural status is about 200 lbs, and there are few all natural top notch power lifters at that body weight that can do it.

hell kevin nee posted a video of him doing 500 lbs raw bench for bragging rights, and he his a WSM competitor and not all natural.

What types of gyms do most here go too?  Ive seen plenty of dudes bench over 400lbs!  And I've seen more than a handful bench 500lbs.   Maybe being form Texas I'm just used to seeing strongs mofos.  Or most here do not train at a hardcore gyms where all the meat heads train, ya'll  must train at a fitness gym.

I live in texas and I have not seen this, and I've worked out in alot of gyms in the area.  I have never seen anyone bench press 500lbs raw.  I highest I've seen anyone go is 405.  I'm normally the strongest bencher in the gym and I got 405 at 205, and I was juiced.  I think it is possible for a natural to do 500lbs but they are going to weigh alot, no 200 pound natual is going to do 500 raw.

I have lifted in at least 200 different gyms in my life around the country and Asia and Mexico and no where have I ever seen more guys bench over 400 than in Hawaii.  I would go into a gym and bench 405 for reps and have the whole gym stop and watch when I traveled.  When I moved to Hawaii and did that no one would watch or even cared.  Once you get up to 500 then some people would at least watch.  I was 25 or so at 247 when I benched 500.  I was absolutely 10000% drug free.  I didn't do anything till 1986 and even then only for 6 months. 

Also, anyone here from Hawaii remember "Q".  This guy was a absolutely the best natural bencher I have ever seen.

Well I dont know what to say!  I have seen plenty do four plates and seen a few do 5bills.  Ive even went to a texted powerlifting meet and seen a guy bench 700lbs, it wasnt raw and he had a wide grip, so it made the press only like four inches, and he was about 300lbs but still it was impressive.  I saw that guy koncrete or Adrian bench 500lb raw at that meet as well.  So I believe it can be done, some people are just cock strong.

Best I've actually seen is 3 with 405 from a juiced guy, which I know isn't insane;y heavy.

But best I've seen fully natural is this mid 30s lecturer at my old University doing 440lb for a single. I definitley believe 500lbis possible natural, but it's a big deal.

You guys need to know when they say a tested show that just means they test them for certain things.  And steroids is not one of them in most cases.  They may test for a steroid no one takes anymore or diuretics most of the time.
