Ok, I will play.

I am natural, and always have been.

Bench: 455 at BW of 225 (raw, in the gym, after working sets)
Dips: 235 around waist at a BW of 235 for two.  
Deadlift: 500 at a BW of 235 (bad back)
Squats: 495x4 followed by 315x20 at a BW of 235 (that was painful)
Shoulder Press:  315x2 at a BW of 225. 



Damn good weights. I haven't dreamed of hitting 315 on shoulder press. Thats great.  Keep up the good work.

Never competed but I've been pretty much the same general shape since college. I've gained muscle mass over the years but the shape is generally the same. I'm currently about 218 and I'm 5ft 9.  The picture with the low body fat was taken a couple of years ago in Bangkok Thailand. I play for a softball team based out of Kuwait and we travel around playing tournaments.  We've been going to Bangkok for the past few years for the Bangkok International Softball Tournament. I intentionally drooped body fat for that one. Wanted to be at my best on the field, not to mention at the clubs in Bangkok and Pattaya Beach. lol   Heres a pic that was taken at the Dubai International Softball Tournament after we won the Championship game. As you can see I'm holding much more bodyfat.  

Great genetics and work ethic obviously. Do you find it tough to get the meals in as well as hitting the gym with kids? Please don't tell me you eat whatever you want and get to the gym when you can, cuz if thats true i'm gonna give up weightlifting. :)

No, I use to be able to do that when I was younger and never held much body fat. Now, I have to watch what I eat when I want to get my body fat down like I had it in Bangkok. As far as the meals I'm in a pretty good situation.  I'm divorced and my boys stay with my X.  I've been working as a defense contractor overseas since 1995 and during that time I have been lucky enough to get a lot of my meals on base and for free. (all you can eat) I'll attach a pic of when I worked in Kosovo. I was the Manager for the employees operating all the military Fitness and Recreation centers in the country.  I had 24 hrs access to all the fitness centers as well as all you could eat dining facilities, some open 24/7.  All I wanted to do is eat and train.  Imagine how much size you can pack on when you eat as much good food as you want and can train as often as you'd like, pretty much anytime you like.  It was like a dream come true.  I also ran the military facilities in Kuwait and Southern Iraq for several years. So, pretty much no problem with food and opportunity to train. I'm currently working on a base in Iraq where I have access to all the food I want and there are several nice gyms on base to train. Although the dining facilities aren't 24hrs they do serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and midnight chow.  I usually hit them all.  (all you can eat at no charge) ;D  attached pic was taken back in 2001.

Awesome job.  When I was active duty, I squandered away time I should have been training.  Too much going out and way too much beer.

Incredible. It's good to hear you are taken care of over there. Being over in Iraq with decent gym facilities is probably a good way to clear the mind with such a stressful situation over there. Do the troops and others on base hit the gyms frequently or is that place basically a ghost town?

Actually, the troops get a lot of use out of the facilities. I ran a huge facility in Kuwait years ago with some of the best equipment I've seen in any gym.  We had 20+ treadmills and almost every hammer strength plate loaded machine that was out at that time.  That gym stayed packed. We had weightlifting competitions that were really successful and drew in big crowds.  Those were the days.

Actually I trim down during season but I kind of like that size.  I'm a lot smaller but the detail gives me the illusion of having more size.  If that makes any sense.  I'm working on trimming up right now without sacrificing to much mass.  Isn't that what it's all about? :-\

Of course not but maybe Master Permabulk has mistyped a number or two?

the bench being higher than the squat has raised that suspicion in this one
