This pretty much answers that thread about bodyfat percentage and the myth that a lifter must have globs of bodyfat to put up impressive numbers.

This is just reinforcement, plus an impressive story.

haha i know, just bustin your chops. and that guy did do a good, plus some "supplements" definately helped him out too

Yah, those 'supplements' are always a nice addition to the process. I wonder though, 900+ lb squat at 20 years old, 700+ lb bench and multiple tears, did he possibly supplement before his time to hit those numbers/do other young pl'ers?

He is 320lbs bro...

I'd say he is a big boy, even by PL standards. There are not THAT many 400lbs+ PLers, if that is what you are reffering to. Sure they exist, but if you look at the average, if you look at what most would identify as a PL physique, that is not it.

Either way amazing job!
