Great tips! Although I hope it goes without saying that anyone who believes they can achieve a 200 kg bench naturally needs to be in like a one in a billion spot in terms of myostatin genetics, like Eddie Hall who claims to be able to press 200 pound DBs as a teenager (pre-gear). I've been lifting naturally for 12 years and my bench PR was 160 kg this winter at 110 kg bodyweight around 28% bf according to dexascan at 183cm height following a 1-year dirty bulk - forcefeeding a baseline of 8,000 cals daily. I regret doing this but benching 160 imo was a huge achievement for a natural with above average genetics like me. I can rep 140 now at 97 kg %18 bf and I'm still proud of myself as a natural lifter. Don't let social media fool you, keep your expectations realistic and keep grinding!
A 160kg bench press naturally is a great achievement mate! I agree it’s not easy and it’s very unlikely to get up towards 200kg, but many people in the IPF are pushing the boundaries and doing this drug tested
