Look at the bench press at 5:25. Incredible!

Do you guys think this workout would work for anyone with enough dedicatino or is this guy just super-gifted?

If you use Xyience products you should be able to bench 315 within 6 weeks in most cases.

Genetics play a huge part in athletic ability, conditioning and physical appearance. So much so that a person with favorable genetics will easily be able to out run, out lift and look better with minimal exercise than a person with poor genetics that trains, eats and recuperates like an Olympic athlete.

I have a friend that smokes like a chimney, drinks like a fish, has a horrible diet and only gets to the gym and trains sporadically yet even after being out of the gym for 6 months still looks better than 90% of the members when he does show up. He has great proportion, vascularity and extremely low bodyfat. Within a few weeks he's outlifting most of the members that are there training hard day after day and has great cardio. Within two months he could probably win a few amateur bodybuilding contests and the guy is in his 40's. If you saw his lifestyle you would think he should be on his third heart attack.

I have another friend who was a 3 letter athlete in High School and has remained active in athletics playing basketball, softball, motocross racing and weight training. His diet is impeccable, does 45 minutes to 1 hour of cardio before his 1.5 hours of intense weight training 4 or 5 days a week. He takes steroids and you truthfully can't even tell he works out. He basically looks like a heavier version of David Hasselhoff. Even though he has great cardio whenever we go head to head in any athletic contest I always have more endurance even though I outweigh him by a substantial margin and I never do cardio and eat everything in sight including lots of pizza and cheesesteaks. He used to say that if you showed someone our workouts, athletic accomplishments and lifestyles I look like he should look and he looks like I should look.

So while you should be able to increase your potential from your original baseline you are most limited by your genetic limitations.

Being able to bench press doesn't make you gifted. It's the way he was raise. PPl aren't naturally gifted when it comes to strength. You either work out alot or have a really big appetite. He's a big guy. He was probably raised on meat and potatos. I am a small guy. I am 180lb and i am 5 ft 8. I could do 315. I really didn't work hard. I never went in the weight room as much as other dedicated people. I think I am strong because I eat alot of rice and meat. I don't consider myself naturally gifted. I probably killed 1000 cows 15000 pigs 25000 chickens and a ton of other animals as well. Their sacrific of those animals going in my stomach makes me strong
