Myles Davis no longer benches 215

[ImperialOrange]

We all need to remember that Myles Davis IS nearly two years out of high school.

And also remember what Davis (#6) looked like in high school. This guy was never tiny.

You're misinterpreting the numbers. Back when he first committed, he was repping 215 easily, as he is 300 now. His max (one rep) was above 300 IIRC. It isn't that difficult to bring your max up that high in 2 years, same with reps. I recently started getting back in the gym for serious lifting for the first time in years, and in 2 months added 50 lbs to my max and 25 pounds to my rep weight. Whey protein helps a lot too, and is cheap and legal. Every time we see a big kid now people assume he's juicing, which is sad.

I've been training on and off for over 10 years and putting 200 pounds on your bench in 2 years isnt likely at all. you regain the most strength at the beginning than its more difficukt.

I realize that, but I know a couple of people that have put a lot of weight on their bench in less time naturally. Maybe not 200 pounds, but over 100. I think if this kid's in the weight room every day (over 2 years) since he left his high school, he could do that naturally.

100 pounds is more conceivable yet still a lot of hard work. im in my first month of 3 of high protein low carb diet that bodybuilders do in order to get ripped and shredded for mr olympia. ill add im not nearly as big as them though

AC...understood. but since you work for a living do you really believe your level of training compares with someone who is rehabing a knee and preparing for D-1 college FB? Like you, I've been weight training for more years than I'd care to admit, but I know that I'd never have the time or access to facilities to accomplish what MD has done.

Also, I think many people forget how important genetics are. Just ask Van Chew.

It's very possible to add 100 lbs rep and 200 lbs max in 2 years naturally. Just discussed with my coworker who is also a personal trainer. FWIW his brother can rep 535 6 or 7 times. Some guys are just have alot more natural potential.

your desire to change must be greater than your desire to stay the same. people that train seriously work full time, train a few hours after work and repeat the process.

I'm not questioning your story, but something doesn't sound right there. If a school is providing juice for their athletes, that's not likely how it would go down.

No that's what I said when he told it to me, but the trainer wasn't an official trainer for the program. This was like 2004 that it happened. I guarantee all schools have their kids on steroids; there are just too many stories for it not to be true. I've heard the worst about programs like Sacred Heart in the lower level, and the MAC schools are pretty bad with it from what I hear.

Maybe a kid or 2 but not entire teams at every school. Our entire LB unit couldve used 15-20 extra pounds of muscle this year. Van Chew couldve used some juice as well.

They are out there in full force at every level for sure

I've never understood why baseball gets the brunt of the steroid outrage

basketball, football... alonzo mourning got huge overnight

dangers of steroids pale in comparison to every other danger in football. but they make it more dangerous for everyone else i guess

i wish i liked a sport that didn't result in half the players brains being scrambled.

i wonder if the concussions are why football coaches are so stupid. smart ones like levy and belichick went to tiny little schools and didn't get head injuries. guys like leach, kelly, johnson, o'leary didn't play (thank you wikipedia)
