So there you go Barbarian Bro

[jarhead]

benching 315 naturally is hardly a standard of excellence, i was doing that in high school.

in highschool i did 405 with the bench shirt and 355 raw

[HICKSON]

320............... On a smith........

[Earl1972]

I didn't know 315 was a huge number for a natural

I did 455 in college while playing football, this was in 1990.

I did 315 for the first time when I was 16 yrs old....I was so psyched at the time.

[davidpaul]

400 for a natural is amazing.  315 is not as impressive, but still pretty rare from the naturals I've seen.  The only naturals I know who bench over 350 I only know on the boards, not in person.

most ive seen a natural do is 385 for 7 - with "gym form" though

[gordiano]

I push my 350lb lady off me at least twice a week............



does that count?

let me get this straight, you were naturally benching a little less than ronnie coleman and bertil fox while at college

[davidpaul]

That is an excellent lift, natural or otherwise.

The winner of the meet in Thunder Bay put up 465 and failed at 495.  He was 5'10 / 290 and juiced to the gills.  He later won the deadlift competition with a lift of 720.

The population is over 100,000 here.  Everybody seems to know so many naturals who are lifting 400+, but at any gym I go to, even seeing people work with 225 is relatively rare.

ive never seen a "natural" hit more than 400. The people here who say they can do this should video their lifts. I used 315 as an example because naturally that is a lot of weight.

wasnt it a 315 incline?

[brachilius]

The highest I ever got was 375 natural for a single.  I have seen some o-lineman in college (small div. III school) bench well over 400lbs.  Granted, they were like 6'5" and 290lbs.

[bigtmoney]

I've done 315 for 1.

do u think tnhey were juiced?

[jaejonna]

The heavy lifting crap is dumb for BB , the wieght will gradually go up, stregnth training is diffrent from BB.


A guy by the name of Lee Haney says that muscles cant see weights... you think he might be one to something

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

OH YEAH in case anyone was wondering ...YES   that is the greatest front double Bicep pose of all time ....

[anvil]

I got 405 naturally.  Seems like it took forever though, was 31 when I finally did it three summers ago.

Yep, with the gravity of saturn - making it even heavier.

its because of haters like you and alex that big poppa doesnt post on the main boards anymore

405 in 1986 at 25 years old at about 6'2" 225 pounds. Pressed it up with no bounce. Did 315 in 1980 at 19 at about 200 pounds. I was natural. I force fed myself so much food both times that I would get sick. I did no cardio. I took a weight gainer shake a couple times a day. If I ate what I felt comfortable eating I lost weight, size and strength pretty quickly. Today at 230 I bench about 330  for two or three reps on the 15 degree nautilus machine whatever that equates to in free weights.

Is that what you call Jay Big Pappa ?

Barbarian Bro, how does it feel to go from Ironage Legend/Mythical status ...to being a troll ??

For most guys over 200 it's not that big a deal.  I'm more impressed when I see some skinny kid about a buck sixtyfive throw 315 up for  a few.  That's about double bodyweight.
