18 and natural - Mike C - Teen Bodybuilder

[Domthemilky]

Other than the simple fact that his ass is arched enough to make it a flat bench does not take away from the fact that he is full of shit.  Seriously....you are saying that people are critiquing because we are envious???  Have you EVER had 405 in your hands for anything?  He most definitely would not be making it that quick of a rep if it were real at 195 LBS OF FUCKING BODYWEIGHT!!!!

Just another in the line of those who say "I have seen plenty of high school kids do XXX weight with no problem"  BULLSHIT....complete and utter bullshit.

Want to know what will rattle at the high of sound?  TWO FUCKING PLATES.....FOUR PLATES will have a much lower sound....as there are MORE PLATES bumping together.

Fuck off back to BB.com or what ever fuckstick site you came from.

somehow missed an entire page of posts lol. i agree 100%, way way way too fast on the positive aspect of the bench for this to be legit, makes it look like childs play. 405 is no fucking joke weight.

[Domthemilky]

not meaning to spam, but watch the video and on that last rep i would love to know what his spotter would do if on the 5th rep the bar reversed direction and came crashing down. though no doubt his spotter weighs 150 lbs and can deadlift at least 600

Krankenstein:  Never been on BB.com but feel free to check any of my past post. I'm usually on the training Q&A and have been for a number of years.

Yeah.....pretty much envy, which can eat away at a lot of guy's who otherwise really never seemed to measure up in the strength and muscle mass department, even after years of training. And cycle after cycle.

Not you, of course. I'm sure you have the deserved respect of anyone lucky enough to meet you.

[The_Infidel]

About as natural as a monkey with 3 dicks. 

Great physique, why lie about it? 

[oliveiraugo]

benching 405 for reps and never touched anything illegal in his life

steroids aren´t illegal if u have prescription 

come on look at his gyno, look at his veins pumping out his shoulders, look at the thickness of his skin

its a insult to my inteligence say hes natural.

[HEAVYLIFT]

he definitely uses food as is anabolic 

[Brocty]

He clearly times his creatine well

[chess315]

 I hate to say this  but even repping 315 you some what feel your bones wanting to bend and you upperback wanting to give an break down your form it hurts your hands some what to even rep 315.

[FAST LANE]

Haha!! Funny thing is, that's what he probably tells people in the gym..

Seriously now....do you HONESTLY believe this kid was actually doing 405 like that, let alone NATURAL?  Have you seriously ever benched 405?  I tore my pec doing 390 for a MAX....on a FLAT BENCH....at 225lbs.  

Lets examine the "facts":

1) 18yo
2) 195lbs
3) ALLEGEDLY natural
4) 5 reps for 405
5) Not one indication of a struggle at all.

I have known some strong ass fuckers in my life....saw a guy 165lbs deadlift 575...I personally saw ONE 450 bench in my life in a gym.  This guy was a powerlifter...and did it 2 - 3 times.  He deadlifted 800lbs (I personally witnessed).  He did not do the 450 with as much ease as this kid.  THAT is why I call bullshit.

I don't give a rats ass who respects me or not.  I am far from the strongest guy...ripped guy...best built guy out there.  But I do know when bullshit is around.

Seeing as you like this kid so much, go look up some vids of Brad Castleberry.  Then tell me he is natural or that the weights he uses are legit.

[chess315]

 I have seen people bench 500 a lot of times but no ripped people one was anthony clark who is dead now another was a natural obese black guy in prison with me. I have never seen a lean person rep 400 3 times or more in person. Granted there are a lot of people that can bench 400 but not as many as a person thinks. Imo benching 400 is still a great great feat for a non fat ass.

So much envy, so little time.

Must be shocking to find out that there are actually natural born strongmen. And here you are still looking pretty much the same, and lifting the same after 10 to 15 years of faithfully working out. Even if using a cycle now and then. In which case, going off any cycle ,just about reverting  back to what you looked like before.

Seen quite a few high school and college athletes pop up 400+ in the bench, without chemical "boosters". My two cousins, for example, handling over 400 for reps in regular workouts, at 17 & 18 years old.  In sports (even high school) you come before blood/DNA/RNA test fairly often.

Those "fake" plates sure did rattle & shake (as the bar was given a slight been at the ends) during the reps. Garage gym's, with the basic of equipment (BB/DB, bench, lat pulldown, squat racks, etc) will ,and have, produced some very strong and large men in the past.

Mike C reminds me a bit of Casey Viator. Some old stories about Viator, as a teenager and his natural power, are very impressive.

Not at 195 lbs they don't.

[Hulkotron]

I've never once in my life seen a teenager bench over twice their bodyweight for reps.

Since they're fake plates does that mean he's drug free?

Or is he a juicer who likes to use fake plates?

I'm cornfused??

  your take steroid when you have veins on your shoulders

I have done 405 on the flat for 8 and on the decline for 15 reps before, actually have videos, before you guys call me out,.... anyway yes the 405 looks extremely fishy and all though there are guys doing 405 at that weight they usually are 5'6 or less, I was the strongest at the gym, but repping with 405, I was 250 at 5'9 doing it at nearly 6 foot 190 without shirt, wraps, anything would put him amongst the strongest pound for pound on the planet, I call BS on the lift, my2cents

[jpm101]

Krankenstein:  Not a question of liking the kid, I don't even know him. Have no emotional involvement, only a stranger in my eyes.

The point of his being natural, or not, had never been my concern. I don't care if he's juiced to the gills. And I never said one way or another if I thought he was. Being BB'er ripped has not much to do with any 400+ bench, just to add. Pure BB'ers are not known for their feats on strength.

Yes, the first time I benched 415 was over in Pago Pago (born in a village near there & left when I was 10 years old for the mainland). My family returned there for a funeral. I was in my teens, and around 208 at the time. No big deal, just what I do (my grandfather was supposed to be the strongest man on the island at one time). To be truthful, I never liked the bench all that much anyway. Just to say, I am large framed/heavy boned and thick by nature.

To me, the lifted looked straight, as did the plates on the bar..not faked. Just giving a personal reflection of my view only. Maybe I'm being the fool, who knows? I do know that many video's on GB are bogus, as are the claimed of many, many guy's who post here.  And certainly video's and pictures do lie, at times. I have spotted and judged, many benches, so I'm good to go with the experience factor.

Just to note: If any one goes by the handle "Big" this or that, than a red flag goes up in my mind that he's  actually some 165lb'er or fat slob hiding behind a keyboard. Good Luck.

Show us, and show us the deadlift video you promised while you're at it.

[Bevo]

Kid sounds like dumbass, certainly not someone you would ask to help with your math homework...

[tbombz]

hard to tell. he is at the natural limit there. the strength is inanse for a kid his age at that body fat. more likely than not hes juicing, but i think its possible hes not. if he has black people genetics, been lean his whole life, really started training seriously at 14 like he says, i think he could be natural. i know a few black guys i went to high school with, the kind who had a six pack since they were 5 years old, they really arent very big at all; like this kid, very narrow, but real strong and with their clothes off their muscle look real nice and big because of low body fat, good muscle shape, and a bit of muscle size to go along with it.

[JZMB]

Hard to tell my ass.. Anyone who shows up those kind of videos are on juice, period.

Just a little FYI.....go to 1:08 and see what 405 on incline looks like....I have NO DOUBT this guy was doing it.  Look at the effort....and the sound of the plates.  Oh, he is 250 and GEARED.  One of the strongest guys out there....THIS is why I saw this kids lift is bullshit

This. The kid is doing 405 without any type of shirt-Haynes cotton or Inzer--no wraps and no belt. All this while being oiled up on a flat bench while tossing 405 for 5, not 1, but 5. If you have never benched over 400 pounds, the weight feels much different, physically and psychologically. This phenom is tossing it with ease like it is 185. I know he is juiced to the tits, but those plates aren't all legit either.
