John Cena benches 405lbs for 8 reps... surely he can't be natural can he?

[rippedapart]

Im not saying he isn't on steriods but with strict training you can hit those numbers naturally powerlifting.

take a look at this youtube video...
deadlift without straps 535lbs!
close grip bench press 365lbs!
bench press 405lbs!

I don't see any top natural bodybuilders using these kind of weights at all...
YouTube - John Cena Weight Lifting Compilation

Cena isnt a bodybuilder. Many natural powerlifters can post those numbers easily.

are u asking b/c of the weight and reps? if so, i know of two guys completely natural, they don't even think about protein/diet/supps..just moving heavy weight. They both do 405 10+ reps

Cena used to be a competetive BB'r. I have seen very brief footage of him onstage. As far as the weights, yes natural guys can certainly reach these weights. The look and size Cena has? No you cannot get that look without AAS. That should have been an obvious tip off.
Same as asking if Bill Goldberg, Dave Batista, or The Rock use.

you guys have more knowledge than me.. so I just wanna get a confirmation..
he has a physique I aspire to achieve or get very close to.. and his strength is excellent.

Everything I was saying was about his physique, not his lifting strength.

Yeah, he looks big and ripped. Not super shredded and not monstrously huge. But probably the physique that is just the right amount of mass and low bodyfat without looking like a total freak. Hopefully after my winter bulk and summer cutting phase I will have a similiar physique (but more vascularity and striations). Remember that he has been training, dieting, and using supplements/gear for many years to achieve that look. He's also got pretty good genetics. It's not a look that is unrealistic though so if you want to look like that, I'm sure with determination it won't be that hard.

Thank you!

Those are great numbers for high school powerlifters.

And since when is NOT using straps a sign of toughness?
