If he claims/says he's natural, why flame him?

We've had members post pics of others as theirs - now that would be a reason to flame.

There's plenty of people on this board that are "natural" and I'm sure plenty of haters, but I won't tolerate any flaming responses. I didn't read all the posts (just part of the 1st page) but I'm sure the conversation got into flaming.

GREAT

I did not put it up to flame. I just thought it was great if the guy is being truthful. He seems to know his stuff.
There has to be freaks out there in every walk of life.

He MIGHT be bullshitting, but then again his claims are not all that farfetched. Natural? Those numbers don't indicate it, but then again *please no one take offense to this* but blacks generally have better genetics than whites. I'm white myself, but my county is about 75% black and so is the gym I go to. I am fairly sure the great majority are natural, and there are some real freaks. I'm talking FREAKS. I went to school with guys taht looked like tehy'd been lifting seriously for five years yet never touched a weight in their lives. I know several at the gym whose diets are shit, they know nothing about training correctly etc., and they easily put up 405 on bench. A guy that I train with every now and again, his name is Gene. He's about late-20s, about 13-15% bodyfat and about 260-270lbs. Claims he has been natural all his life. Dunno where that's true or not, but he sure as hell has put up 405 x 6 on behind the neck presses several times and then picked up the 120lb DBs and repped them like it was nothing. Thereaer guys that routinely squat over 1000lbs (not at my gym, I'm talking worldwide), so 905 on the smith doesn't seem out of the question. The trouble with that though is that the great majority of Smiths won't hold that much damn weight.

I wasn't insinuating that you meant to flame.

I was just insinuating that other boards don't care what's said in a post.

He does not seem like a liar to me.
I think it's funny that some guys still think you have to be really big to be strong since there are so many examples out there that prove otherwise

Yep, look at olympic weightlifters. Some of the weights they move are mazing, and they come up with htose weights out of the bottom. One would have trouble squatting that much weight the normal way, but these guys do it with the weight overhead with outstretched arms!
