POUND FOR POUND - Natural Bodybuilding: Benching 325 at 149lbs

[RinkB4ThePink]

I'm not trying to chirp but I'm a 16 year old kid and I'm 5 foot 6. I weight 142 with very low body fat as I play aaa hockey. I just wondered how your arms look massive (mine are in no comparison) yet you only have 8 pounds on me. Do you do any leg workouts at all? because I think that is where most of my weight is. or different densities of bones or anything? I'm just curious how you can look so much bigger.

@RinkB4ThePink its called a lifetime of lifting im right around this body type, i mean before getting all massive and ripped lol but it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to work up to looking and performing like him. trust me i work at it everyday to get better stronger faster and more athletic.

[RinkB4ThePink]

@fighthard13 I understand he must put much dedication into his training. I just didn't understand how he just looks so much bigger without weighing that much more! that left me feeling a little confused. When i get older im going to get much more serious into weightlifting too

Another lifter with his ass way off bench thinking he is lifting weight?!

isnt it bad to arch your back?

[NATURALGC]

@johndifrancesco I'm not that experienced in powerlifting, but without a significant back arch you will employ more shoulders, less triceps, and less chest. Most guys with no arch get stuck at a 200lb bench. If it is controlled I think it is pretty crucial. Check out EliteFTs.com for pro tips.

Can i ask how tall you are? cus you have done amazing to say your only 150lb .. Peace

[NATURALGC]

@Whatton24 5'5" bro I didn't get the height gene.

[FreshPrinceEazy]

Do you have your feet on the bench on the bench press or on the floor?

[NATURALGC]

@FreshPrinceEazy Always on the floor. You get better balance with feet planted. Also seems to allow you to build a back arch to put more stress on the chest and triceps than the shoulders.

@boogietime2 Yah my definition of natural: No hormones, chemical agents, synthetics, anabolic steroids, precursors, prohormones, growth hormones, prescription drugs, corticosteroids, painkillers, amphetamines, recreational drugs etc.

Natural: Proteins (amino acids) vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts.

[clutchrambo]

damn bro im the same weight as u but u beat me on strength for sure. i max bench only 235. i guess still not bad for 150 lbs.

[kappkids]

id rather be in good shape and look good rather then take roids and go unnatural and look bulky.

[NATURALGC]

@kappkids I agree. The juice ain`t for everyone. Some of us take pride in clean livers, longevity, and prefer to look healthy and strong!

[kappkids]

@NATURALGC yep yep
