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

Thank you!

Those are great numbers for high school powerlifters.

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

B-

less than 1% of all male gym members who consistently train could lift 545lbs off the ground without straps and hit 10 reps with perfect form.. he hits 550lbs deep squats without a weight belt. Less than 0.01% of all male weight lifters look as good as John Cena..

I don't mean to hype him up (he is the highest paid wrestler in WWE for reason) but it seems like noone on here is giving him any kind of respect at all... he lifts more than all the top natural bodybuilders in Australia without any problems.

Don't tell me John Cena isn't tough.. he is as hard as nails.

I have no idea where you get your numbers about who can lift what, but I would love for you to post them.

ANd I didn't say he wasn't tough, I just said that NOT using straps is not a measure of toughness.

And he gets the same respect any actor gets.

And just to put this into perspective for you even further, I am nearly 60 and I can pull 545x10 on a 2" axel bar without straps or even knurling on the bar.

All I'm saying, is be careful what company you put him into, and be careful of the numbers you throw around. He may look real good, and put on a good show, but his buckets have a long way to go to hold much water in the strength world or outside Vince McMahon's ring.

The thing that always gets me is they never peak and hit down times. They always look hard and jacked. Us normal guys we peak throughout the year. Not guys like batista and cena. The only reason cena is a tad smaller now is cause of injury.

Thats whats even more amazing about. Think about the grueling schedule they have on the road most of the yr and every night putting on a show,which is physical as hell if its real or not and not many of us could do what these freaks do. Then to find the time and determination to train,recover and supplement/eat, didnt mean to blow these guys and I rarely watch wrestling,but I give credit where its due.

thanks bro.. I admire the top WWE performers a lot for their hard work and dedication towards pleasing the fans. John Cena is in a position in life which most bodybuilders (and sane guys) would kill to be in... he has his foot in hollywood, main event contender in WWE, well respected among the media (except cnn), thousands of fans, bloody awesome physique, and a lot of attention from the women I believe!!!

in conclusion his work ethic should be modelled if you waat to get anywhere in life

The look and size Cena has? No you cannot get that look without AAS. That should have been an obvious tip off.
.

i'd have to disagree....i'd say by the looks of his shoulder girdle he's natural...usually juicers have a look in this area due to the amount of receptors. being big and somewhat cut isn't instand give away.

Its part of the job title. Who cares if hes constantly ramming it in him???? he trains harder than most people on here and has to do it on the road and after getting his ass kicked in the ring, regardless if the sport is fake or not, they take a kicking a few times a week.

 

[Nomadic Dreamer]

It's because they never come in super shredded like a contest, yet they never get big and put on fat in the off-season like we do. I think a lot of this is attributed to constant year round dieting, training, and gear/GH. They need to look the same year round since they need to show their physiques all year long.

And I am not upset with him because he says he is all natural. If he said "yeah I take GH, test, and hit tren here and there" what would happen to him? Career gone and probably thrown in jail. Just like if someone asked you if you are juicing. You're gonna say no. That doesn't mean you are a cheat or you shouldn't be respected. You just need to cover yourself due to the legal nature and the cultural taboo assocciated with AAS.

True that.

Cena was a bodybuilder. Cannot believe people are debating if he uses steroids or not. His physique (like BBers) is his job...would the wwe pay him that much if he was 140lbs skin n bone or 500lb of fat???? No!! he looks like an action figure and is marketed like one....he is what young kids admire and many of the people on here aspire to be. The guy is huge, i have seen him in person and those arms are not natural. Again, its part of the job and all the biggest names in wrestling need to be larger than life, it goes with the territory.

Seriously do you think you could maintain a physique like the top guys do living the lifestyle they do??? Looks glamerous from the outside but travelling, public appereances, contantly being banged up and shows take their toll. Try training like a bodybuilder and eating clean around that. WHen guys like egde, mr kennedy, kevin nash etc have all admitted steroid use how do you think batista, cena, scott steiner etc stay so jacked year round???

Take nothing away from cena, or any other pro wrestler for that matter. The guy is very tough and from the video, trains hard.
