So this guy right here…

How is this possible that he's stayed at 150 lbs with a 395 lb bench? Wouldn't his weights stop because he isn't gaining anyweight? That's an assload of weight for such a small frame?

I always thought that the weights you lift won't go up unless you eat accordingly and then if the weights go up then you will naturally get bigger. How can he be lifting so much while being so small? I'm just very confused

Asians, dude. I guess, if you do something for years, you become pretty good at it.

I was training in the same gym as a guy, who had national BP record in his weight class and he was somewhere around 70 kilos, not sure exactly. He could bench 150/155 kilos, if I remember correctly. Dude literally just spent his days developing his bench. Triceps, pull-ups and bench. He had pretty big arms for his frame. I never saw him doing squats or DLs. He didn't seem to be undeveloped tho, he had good gains. Maybe he ate something not so legal, because there wasn't doping control, but noone knows that. He used to be pretty skinny and then, in a few year span, he became a big guy. His lifts haven't gotten any bigger tho, maybe he gave up on lifting or just stopped taking supplements.

As for bench gainz while eating clean, I've gone from 50 kilo bench and 70 kilo bodyweight to 110 kg bench and 85 kg bodyweight, doing bench once a week and mostly just developing overall strength. It takes a while. Took me 4.5 years.

Strength is not just about how big your muscles are, a lot of it has to do with your nervous system. This is not just technique, either. You can have a good squat-technique but your nervous system could still not be used to the lift, meaning that your muscles fire inefficiently even if your movement pattern itself is very efficient.

This. Muscle strength is important, but muscles as well as other systems like the nervous system can adapt to become much stronger without hypertrophy.
