How many of you have seen a natural bench press 300lbs?

Personally, I have seen it once, but the individual in question has very short arms.

Most men benching that weight in any of the gyms I have been to were not natural.

I did a single with 315 touch-and-go when I was permabulked at a fat 240 pounds at 510". I think I could have actually done a double or triple that day and I was stupidly trying to test my one-rep max. I was 28 or 29 years old, and I wouldn't have been able to do it if I weren't that fat. I think  if I was leanish at the time I would have had a high 290's bench press or maybe 300. 

Anyway, I stopped doing flat bench press shortly after I did that as I got more serious on using exercises that were best for my frame for developing the pecs. The flat bench press is a pretty crumby pec builder for narrow-shouldered, arms-dominant men. My pecs started filling out when I switched to dips, incline and flat dumbbell bench press, and-or Hammer Strength machines. 

A natural pro (not IFBB, but a natty org) friend of mine (I mean natural as in no roids), at his best could rep 315, but his leverages for pressing are insane and rare! He has short arms and at the time, they were built like hams. 

Keep in mind at that time of my life, outside of work I lived in the goddamn gym and kitchen when I was my strongest. 

I went to very hardcore gyms with both serious natties and roid heads in my younger days.
