Its a trick question,
There's no such thing as a natural bodybuilder.

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".

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.

there is a big samoan at my gym that does 5 plates for about 4 reps, i know he is natural. he is just a big samoan he is probably 6'3 300lbs and 20% bodyfat

El Diablo Blanco · « **Reply #89 on:** February 23, 2009, 12:13:20 PM »

yes, but he won't be a bodybuilder. There are guys out there, big bellies, thick as fuck and can spend 15 years of their lives working to that one goal.

::)ok Mr. 20 inch arms at 205 pounds.

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.

let me ask you a question, how many guys do you know or have seen who had legitimate 20 inch arms at 205 pounds? i would guess none, it's 99.999999999 physically impossible, ask any pro.

burn2live · « **Reply #92 on:** February 23, 2009, 05:10:32 PM »

Yeh, though it would take some good genetics to do it without being relatively obese

Why are you embellishing what I said
Firstly Im 210 and j said and I quote
I hope to have 20in arm by summer
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

just_a_pilgrim · « **Reply #95 on:** February 23, 2009, 06:30:08 PM »

Sure they can. I did a lot on squats and deads while i was clean. There would be people who can get to 5 plates on bench naturally.

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.
