anyone ever known anyone who was just sick strong? there was a kid in my highschool who was benching 565 raw at 19yrs old. this was touch-and-go, but still ridiculous . he had no concept of nutrition or solid training. he’d lift upperbody 3-plus hrs a day like 6 days a week, just a fuckin freak. i havent seen or talked to him in over a yr, so theres no tellin where he is now.
on a side note, the first time i was introduced to him, after talkin for a couple of min he told me we went to the same elementary school [ which is nowhere near the same area] and i used to pick on him all the time. i’m still thankful he didnt seperate my head from my shoulders. if he ever got serious theres no doubt in my mind he’d set all kinds of records. put him in a shirt and its over.
one of my friends isn’t sick strong but hes just as strong as I am without lifting much at all.
I think Dave Tate was a “freak” like that too. Mad strong as a young guy.
I had a classmate back in highschool who was benching 420 at about 16 years old. If I remember correctly, he was 6’ 1" 260lbs at roughly 8% bodyfat. What a freak.
Louis Cyr comes to mind…oh, steroids did not exist back then eheheh. ;p
19 year old kid still in high school huh? I thought you were suppose to be done w/ high school at around 17 and 18 years old? Even 18 is old for highschool even if he’s a senior I bet that he wasn’t natrual when he was benching 565. It’s a damn same too.

i know for a fact he was natural. he was just a bear, man. even built like a bear he was [i guess still is] about 6’3 and who knows how much he weighed. i’d guess probably in the 230-250 range, but he wasnt lean at all. at a glance you’d think he was just a big guy, not a benching machine. and as to his age who knows? i know when we were in elementary i was a grade ahead, but that doesnt mean he was younger in age.if i had stuck it out i would’ve been just under 19 at graduation so what can you say? i know for a fact though, that at 19 he put up 565 with no assistance of any kind, because i saw it with my own two eyes. just a damn animal, and i’m sure the numbers are up now if he still trains at all
silas you got a negative outlook brotha, and by the way 420 at 16 is bananas
Bananas great fruits.
fitone,
ummm, 18 is the normal age for graduation. 17 and 19 year olds graduating are fairly common.
If you guys were in Ontario it’s not uncommon to have 20 yr olds in school, Ontario goes to OAC or grade 13.

Arnie! The guy trained for hours every day. To get back in shape for T3 he was training twice a day. That’s some freaky recovery ability.
i meant NATURAL freaks, not juice monkeys
