I'm sure it's possible but doesn't sound like as much fun.

Short, fat, round endomorphs can bench alot. Next time you see one in the gym watch him....

They have short arms which limits there ROM, and they also have big fat chests, with round large ribcages underneath which means bar can only be lowered so much. Some extreme fatty's can look like they're doing a full rep, but compared to an ectomorph, its only the top 3rd of the rep range.

They can bench alot, but would I choose to look like them....er...No!!

there's a fatty in my gym who throws on 445 and reps it out for about 10 - no spot. He's a football player, tested, and not on a thing. oh, and did I mention - he's a fatty.

tested means nothing...come on i would think some people would know better then thinking being tested means being clean...

excellent point, considering I was a high school/university shot putter juiced to the gills.
but in this case I know he is natural - I'm now good friends with his brother, and the topic has come up more than once.

i know a 22 year old that benched 600 without gear, im not shitting you either

I've never known a powerlifter who was completely natural , many who have claimed to be though.

 

[Vectork39]

sure it is possible, but highly unlikely, the response of "just a protein shake" and "7 years of training" seems fishy, if he was natural he would go into more detail about his training and diet...

 

[Silent Method]

It's possible. And who knows what he would or would not say in conversation.
