[@obitouchiha1918]

Up to like the 235 lb lift, I'd say he's natural. I've trained bench press for about 2.5 yrs and currently bench 240-250lbs which is roughly the same timespan it took him hitting 235-250lb. His dad coaches and spots him while he's also bulked significantly. For me, I lift solo, do my own research, and have only put on like 8lbs in bodyweight.

[@jeffreycordova9082]

@7:33 I'm glad spotting is mentioned here because that's exactly what I was thinking. If someone is spotting me, I want them ready to assist if/when I fail, not shouting at me and curling the air. If I do not have confidence in my spotter, I do not have confidence in the safety of the lift. The dad looks ready at the beginning, but then as the lift gets harder he gets more animated and pulls his hands away from the bar. I'm sure they have a lot of fun working out together, but there is definitely room for improvement for the both of them!

[@stevesolo16]

When I turned 60 I stopped bench pressing. When I was younger I could 365 for reps of 8 but always had little little injuries in my wrist, shoulder my fingers started locking . After the switch, I was getting the burn the next morning, like when I first started lifting. So, I knew I was doing something right! Greg, thanks for info. I am listing.

[@lethal5383]

I started lifting weights seriously at 16 years old and I was 6'0 180lbs and My max was only 135lbs. The only working out prior to this was football and wrestling. In 2 months of bench press I went from 135lbs to 205lbs with sloppy form, decent programming and the desire to bench heavier weights. I got stuck here for a while then decided to actually do some deep learning on hand positioning, breathe bracing, programming, and leg stability while benching. My max went from 205lbs to 245lbs in a month span of lifting after being stuck at 205lbs for a few months. I then hit another struggle and for damn near 6 months after picking up 10lbs of muscle I finally hit 250lbs. I then immediately get covid after this and got somewhat hurt during wrestling season, and my finger nail got crushed by some sliding weights. During track season I recovered and got back to lifting heavy and some more weight and from the following April to now I went from 250lbs to 265lbs and hoping to get 275 right before June. I remember years before tis prolly even elementary school my dad would use to tell my brother and I to do pushups and pullups and stuff. My dad grew up in the 70s on a farm and said he read a book and he got really interested into muscles and he would do 100 pushups. He then said he benched 400 in highschool and I believe that because hes 51 years old benching 315lbs.

I benched 225 when I was 19. I’m 6’6. Around that same time I began taking gear and I benched 350 pounds one year later. I was never going to be a benchpress technician. My arms are as long as a Cadillac but I did get to 425 for my best. All this being said though the kid doesn’t look like he’s on gear and I’ve been around it for decades. I grew up training in a gym where if you didn’t drain correctly you were thrown out of the lifting circle. The men around me were tough, many Vietnam veterans some benching 500 pounds and they didn’t put up with any bullshit from me, the young teenager at the time. This young man could benefit from being around some of those kind of people. He has a great powerlifting future if he does it right.

In my opinion, lifting weights doesn't really count as real great exercise until you're 13 or so, when your hormones kick in. I remember how much we all changed from age 12 to 13 in sports. Some of the kids who were superstars on the playground at 12 didn't even make the football team at age 13 in middle school.

[@65FASTBACKMAN-dx9ge]

I'm kind of on the fence with this one as 500 lbs at any bodyweight and any age is insane, especially if you are truly natural. I started working out and lifting weights in the 8th grade, or roughly when I was 14 years old. Of which at the time, I was repping 135 lbs on day one, though I was obviously 2 years older, so it's not exactly an apples to apples comparison. That being said, I continued lifting weights pretty seriously all through high school, especially when I got involved with football. But the highest that I ever got on the bench press was 340 lbs my senior year, at a bodyweight of around 220-225 lbs. I was in weightlifting class, working out and doing two bench press workouts a week and I'd go up 5 lbs a week in my lifts. I was typically doing a 5x5 or a 6x6 and would do 275 lbs when I hit a single rep at 340 lbs. I can see how this kid would be able to get 500 lbs if he had two more years on top of what I had and yes, his form is quite terrible, which helps him get more weight. I don't think that the kid is 100% natural, as I'm sure he's taking creatine and a bunch of other things... but I don't think he's on Tren or steroids. Currently, I just hit 405 lbs for 6 reps a week or two ago and my goal has always been to get a single rep max of over 500 lbs. But I'm also in my late 30's with a height of 6'2" tall, weighing around 265 lbs for bodyweight, with a pretty similar body style to what this kid has. I've been close to hitting 500 lbs for a single rep max in the past but would have to deal with things like my gym getting shut down in 2020 because of the rona, as well as injuries, work, getting sick and so forth.

[@tomjjackson21]

When I was 17 there was a kid named Jake Byle who in 8th grade was putting up close to 500lbs. I'm 6'5 and this kid absolutely dwarfed me. At like 14 he was 6'5, but 260 with literal abs. He is the greatest freak I have ever seen and I always wonder if social media would have existed he would have been a gd celebrity. This is impressive, but I've seen orders of magnitude more impressive, at a younger age. Not to take anything away from this kid, he's an absolute BEAST, but Jake Byle skewed my perception of strength. He could of been the worlds strongest man competitor, could have been a celebrity if he were to have grown up in a different era. Aside from his freakish strength, he was a awesome kid, super nice guy, humble, really, really likeable, multiple state champion wrestler, obtained full rides for football and wrestling in college, etc, etc. Excited to see if this kid capitalizes on his hard work over the years, and will presumably some day be pushing record levels of weights.

Greg, stop lying to people and making excuses for steroid users like you and him. Steroids work differently in the body, depending on the sport. For example, strongmen and powerlifters use steroids but they don't necessarily have visible abs or more muscle definition. Their focus is often on increasing strength rather than achieving a sculpted physique.

Its okay, tho, I dont expect u to confide to a stranger and destroy ur entire existence by admitting to drug use.

Strong kid. Is he playing any sports?

[@Joestar96]

Let me guess... Greg is gonna say he's natural because he never believes someone 12 or 14 would take steroids.

Greg often calls teenagers out for using PEDs. Some people have better genetics than coach Greg, but not many.

[@asvardfjelstad5095]

Shut up weeb, not everyone is a genetic failure like you

[@Samosayummyyay]

It's because this teen pressed less than Greg did ironically enough at the same age.

[@emartinezr]

Did you not see the video? He said WHY he thinks he's natural.....

[@Primal391]

Why does Greg think the dad knows how to lift? Looks and acts like a typical ego lifter.

[@hhkl3bhhksm466]

Definitely on gear, but very impressive

[@ChickenDude12]

You need to understand the difference between natty traing and unnatty training is so huge, it's not even impressive.

[@stayve.]

A friend of mine competes in powerlifting and is 6’3” 260lbs. I know for a fact he’s natty with good genetics and he just hit a 500lb bench… at 25 years old. Absolutely no chance this kid is natty lmfao

[@ascension1199]

Hell yea. Can't wait to see him train well then

[@davec-1378]

I don’t know I think when you get in the one rep max mind set, especially at that age, you’re just begging to pop a pec at some point My concern is he will continue trying for a PB until his leg rips off his sternum I just don’t think it’s a healthy attitude

[@juansoto745]

225 at 13 is wild. But the progress he started making at 14 makes me feel like he’s not natural. Even If you go back only 5-10 years you don’t see ANY middle schoolers/ JR high kids benching anywhere near this much and now these kids are everywhere lol same time sarms and other “research chemicals” can be discreetly shipped to your door 😂 🤷🏻‍♂️ Either way kids strong af 💪🏻

[@RSRS-ws3px]

My genetics are so crappy that I didn’t hit 295 until I was 31 and was put on trt! I started at 16 and hadn’t been above 275 that whole time. Being put on trt the week I turned 31 changed everything. I hit 355 at 35 plus all my lifts went up the same. I was 5’6” 190 pounds when I did the 355 so nothing earth shattering but after having been stuck so long, I was very happy. I couldn’t get above 170 body weight all those years natural so I have no idea if I had low testosterone my whole life or was just naturally super skinny. I had energy and sex drive so maybe I was just high enough to not show signs of low T. A bike crash at 35 and a half took it all away for a few years. I was almost 40 before I was back at it but my strength never seemed to be able to get back to where it was those 4 years. My shoulders felt fine after the surgeries but I just haven’t been able to get back into the 300’s for some reason. I am also 54 now.

[@baxterwilson368]

Coach Greg is always saying not to compare yourself to others and then constantly compares himself to others … harder than last time. 😂

[@thetruth981]

None of those lifts are legit with that bounce.

[@Xdev1lG00D]

A football player, when I was in highschool (freshmen 2009), was benching like 455lb as a senior. Touch and go.

[@Xdev1lG00D]

@@paavola2 no shit I didn't. When did I say ?

[@caseytube1519]

My bench started at 45lbs at 13, currently my max after 1 year at 14, is 100lbs. Kinda wish it was more, and no I don’t think it was my training, I bench 2-3x a week. 5-6 sets per session +paused +slow-ish decent, any possible ideas? ( I don’t take creatine and don’t want to, I’m too young ) Reasons why I think I didn’t grow more: - not eating enough >2500 calories - not sleeping enough (I only get 6-7 hours💀) - not stretching - genetics??? I have relatively fit parents though, so prob not genetic. - age

[@Caden_Jones1540]

He can definitely break the all time raw teenage bench record, which is currently 560 held by Justin Rodgers.

[@jasminderbharij5861]

Well, I was pretty strong as well till 35, could lift much more then my bodyweight of 75kgs, but stopped at 235lbs and I would do 6-8 reps of this on my last set. I'm 61 now and still lifting SENSIBLY, and am so glad all my joints/ligaments are still fine. Also wiegh much less- 65-70 kgs depending. But I'll still go for 380lb freesquats, reps of 6-8 with s spotter when I occasionally feel like it. AND am natty and a vegetarian. Very strong kid though.

[@NelsonRalphs]

Good job Greg!

[@Piznick64]

I need that dad as a spotter

[@touchmoney6741]

3:03 Greg is obviously doesn’t fucking matter on his dads instructions because he’s not benching 500 at 17. You can’t give a 12 year old so many queues and think they aren’t going to get frustrated and say “fuck this.”

[@slapaho1234]

I've known fathers like that; he is living vicariously through his son and thinks he is helping him by giving him juice. It's sad.

[@Coach_Run]

This is insane lol! I have very good genetics. In high school I was 5’11 210lbs. I wrestled and played football. The most I benched in high school was 330. We thought that was strong as hell. The dudes were a heading of me on the team. Benched 345 & 350 this was in 1999.

[@touchmoney6741]

It seems like the older he gets, less time is spend training with his dad. The sad but natural progress of being a teenager.

[@larrytate1657]

Let a 3rd party show his blood test results if he wants credit for doing 500 natty at 17. Bet that won’t happen…..

[@lucas82]

the kid benched 225 at 13, which is beyond impressive, but look at his size at that age. This kid is definitely a specimen.

[@loganwolv3393]

If only these were actually legit lol. I appriciate him not arching like one of those horror movie scary characters that actually walk arched but at the same time bouncing the weight off the chest to assist the hardest part of the range of motion is really meh, may as well do shortened partials in that case.

[@MrJoemann95]

I remember bench pressing 185lbs in the 7th grade at maybe 130lbs body weight with no prior lifting. Must’ve been 12 years old? Years later at 19 as baseline with no working out ,I did 240lbs at 170lbs. For reference, I am 5’10 now at 28

[@dragorn3212]

That doesn't really make sense. Most people can more than double their bench after 3 years training, so why aren't you benching 500 too? You probably just got strong from gymnastics and pretending like you're a genetic freak

[@piotrszymanski246]

Everything is possible, peoples dont know how to train,he knows

[@ItsJam3z]

I mean to give him credit, My girlfriends dad was a competitive Canadian powerlifter, he started lifting when he was 12 and was pushing 350+ Lbs on bench when he was 18 in competitions. Natty by the way no Steroids. I mean he is def the strongest person I have ever met and was the one that somewhat got me into lifting/powerlifting.

[@Cooowop]

Numbers wise Impressive for sure. The chest bounce is just as scary as it is impressive tho 💀💀💀💀💀

[@Tang-qi6zw]

See, I had friends on the football team in highschool (I did rifle as my sport, so was too busy during football season), and they picked up a Cadillac mom-SUV out of a ditch and put it on the road. 17 year old linemen can put on some MASS, without steroids.
