let me get this straight, you were naturally benching a little less than ronnie coleman and bertil fox while at college
Yes I did 405 as a Sr. in HS. When I got to college as a freshman, I did 385 on my last camp test of 10 straight 40 yd. dashes, agility drills and max squat. The bench was the last test. (I was 17 BTW, and it was the 4th best bench on a team of 100 guys. ) All these uppper classmen on the team were asking me "what are you taking". I had ZERO idea what they were talking about, this was in 1987. I never was able to get higher than that, as a natural you eventually just tap out strength wise, or at least I did.
I am naturally very strong, in 1998 I was doing shoulder pressess with 300 lbs and I ruptured 3 discs in my neck. Had major surgery etc...I never train with anything over 225 anymore, because of my neck.
I am a lifetime natural, I have nothing to prove or lie about here, it was, was it was...I have seen other naturals bench this much as well, why your so surprised is beyond me.
