I don't have drug tests to prove this guy is taking anything but from my experience, which I hate bring into a debate, it's impossible. I personally know the powerlifter who holds the state record (in my state) for flat bench in his federation. They are very strict with their testing and have even called the record holder to perform a random drug test when an official is in town. The guy is a genetic freak but "only" bench presses 545 pounds for a paused rep. This guy, who is benching almost 1,000 ibs, is benching more than most top powerlifters in the world can squat (who are not drug free). I know another powerlifter who is not natural and he is pressing just shy of 700 pounds. I just don't see pressing near 1,000 pounds naturally happening. Like I said, it's incredible to press that much, drugs or not, but I think it's pathetic to run around claiming your drug free when you are not. Also, I know another ex-powerlifter who use to squat 660 pounds naturally and most people considered him a freak. As I said, I hate to bring in the "well, my experience says this" argument but I do not see anyone pressing that much weight drug free.
