How many times can someone bench their BW as a natty? What is the average genetic limit?
Take these celebs for instance.
Nelly can bench press 270 pounds.
Brad Pitt can bench press 280 pounds
Hugh Jackman can bench press 315 pounds.
Vin Diesel can bench press 350 pounds.
Will Smith can bench press 385 pounds
Dwayne Johnson can bench press 425 pounds.
Arnold could bench 440 pounds back in the day.
Nelly I believe. He might be able to do even more. Brad pitt and Will Smith I don't. Hugh Jackman maybe. Diesel is probably on roids. And The Rock and Arnold are verified roiders.
So how is it?
What's the question because I'm pretty sure will smith doesnt weigh 385 and bang that weight out for reps.
I'd say an advanced lifter could bench their body weight 3x10 easily, once I was lifting bodyweight 3x5 for bench it was sort of the defining moment where I went from baby weight to actually putting some plates on, to someone at their genetic limit body weight is nothing for a compound lift

Nelly is a fucking manlet, so his ROM is about 7-8".
>Will Smith can bench 385
No fucking way.

That's it really. All the other stuff is just to make it juicy so I can lure yall in so yall answer mo questions. Mo ignorance mo problems
>>34981526
this.
don't even habeeb with roids.
>>34981399
Back when I used to lift shitty(started from skinnyfat straight into a high volume brosplit) I got my bench from 60 up to 80 kg in a month(weighted around 90). I dont think benching your bw should be much of an issue even for non roiders
>>34981399
I weigh 182 and Incline benched 225x3 today for the first time. Feels good man. I do incline benchpress at a 15 degree angle because for some reason it doesn't bother my shoulder like flat bench does.

It's probably true. Scientology helps with gains and mind powers.
>>34981624
I'm already almost @1.2xBW. Thanks for contributing, but you didn't answer le question.
>>34981669
Le pardon me, thought your question was if its possible for one to lift their own bw as a natty.
>>34981561
at 175 i can rep 225 for 18 reps... So i could do 175 for at least 30-40 reps..... Never tried it though...
>>34981723
No problemo. The real question is really what the average genetic limit is. I'm thinking at least 1.5. He's doing almost 2 times as a natty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw9S8_9KPcE
how the fuck does will smith bench 385lbs?
he's literally a fucking skellington
>>34981399
What does natty mean
>>34981831
It means you stick a needle all the way in you asshole till it bleeds so you bench 5 pounds more then the next guy. You're welcome. Now go shovve it in ur azz
>>34981831
Like black people's hair.
>>34981399
>Talking about natty lifting
>Take these celebrities
No lifting celebrity in a movie role has ever been natty.
>>34981831
It means you drink Natural Light instead of heavier beers that bloat you and have too many calories.
>>34981868
Not even the dude from superman. Arguably very weak after his intense training sessions he had like forever. I'm as strong as the dude, even stronger. If he's on roids, than I am now YOUR GOD. Daily reminder I am le trolle
>>34981399
Seriously??
Sources on those celeba actually benching that much?
Those sound super inflated for them.
>brad pitt
>benching 280
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
Well meme'd
Benching 2 times your BW means you're pretty fucking elite. Benching 2.5 times or more BW is some serious powerlifter status.

Average male under 35 about 1.2-1.6x BW with strict form.
Will vary based on body mechanics.
Even moderately "in-shape" actors will be take PED for a role that requires it. An "actor" that is known for his physique (i.e. roles depend on the good physique) will be on PED.
thanks

>Average male under 35 about 1.2-1.6x BW with strict form
calling bullshit on that. whenever i see some new guy in the gym trying bench for the first time they can barely bench anything.
>>34981399
> Will Smith & Brad Pitt benching those numbers
lol no
>>34982065
If the average guy weighs 200 and benches 300 I'll be really surprised seeing that's pretty high.
I'd say 2x bodyweight is doable natty.
Not sure about genetic limit I think for most that is somewhere between 500-600lbs if they bulk up to very fat status. The absolute limit taking into account exceptional people I think is ~650lbs.

OP did say natty limit, not starting weight. Starting weight i would put at 0.5x-0.8x for a total untrained/sedentary novice.

2x is definitely doable natty at the top slice of the genetic / body-mechanics end of the spectrum with a good few years of training bench... i did say average male though.

>>Average male under 35 about 1.2-1.6x BW with strict form.
>hi skelly
no bud, just a guy in his 30s that has a fair amount of personal experience strength training and also training others... and when i said strict form i meant, controlled concentric and eccentric movement, no bounce, full ROM, no insane PL arch, modest arch is ok. i don't think i'm too far out with my initial range for an average male.
1.8-2.2xBW or something like
I´m sure 250kg is double natty.
>>34981399
>Brad Pitt can bench press 280 pounds
Twice his body weight? That's rich.
>>34981800
uh
At 189 I could bench 185, 31 times it was second highest at a football tryout for a local semi pro football team
>>34984916
did benching with high reps like that build you mass? I've never even thought about going over 12 reps
>>34984889
230 bench on a good day
>>34985149
lol no. I bench that and look like this
>>34985092
I've always use bb bench as a marker for strength for size I've always used dumbells
>>34985161
I bench 175 and my chest looks better than yours. Strengths and aesthetics are not directly releted
>>34981399
>Will Smith can bench 385
Bullshit
>>34985739
then why are ppl doubting these bench stats based on aesthetics?
>>34981399
Nelly, brad pitt, and hugh jackman could be natty. The others were clearly on or still are on gear
>>34985773
Because aesthetics can be achieved relatively easily, but straighten usually comes only with years of proper training, which most of the actors of course never had
>>34985802
but that doesn't make sense people are saying nope, he only benches such and such based on their pics.
>will smith and pitt
>had mass in the 90s
>got bigger as time went on
even if it was roids that wouldn't discount the supposed numbers
>all those actors
>not on roids
sure is underage
every single actor or model who put on muscle and mass for a role was on roids and occasionally hgh.
