There are no natural limitations for strength.

So guys, ive already discussed some of the limitations for true natural bodybuilding, as far as what you can look like without using drugs. However, there are no limits as far as how strong someone can get naturally(realistically speaking). Powerlifting is not the same as bodybuilding, the goals are totally different. Powerlifting has nothing to do with how you look, it just matters how much you can lift on certain exercises.

Some people are just naturally strong on certain movements like squat, deadlift, bench, etc. Genetics does play a factor because someone can just naturally have stronger tendons, better bone structure, especially when it comes to arm and leg length, they can just have the ideal limb legnth to give them the better leverage on a lift.

The use of hormones certainly can and usually will(depending on what youre taking) increase your strength. However, im sure we've all seen that huge bodybuilder guy in the gym who barely uses more weight than the average gym guy and hes fucking huge. And then weve also seen that guy whos like fairly muscular but not big, and hes benching almost double his bodyweight for reps. Sometimes its a trip, but thats just how it is with STRENGTH.

Also, youre overall focus on a certain lift will help you increase the weight you can use, so its not ALL genetics, im just saying genetics is part of it. If your main focus is to increase your benchpress and you keep working on it for a while, you most likely will increase the amount of weight you can bench. And you wouldnt necessarily have to get bigger. I mean dont think im going against what i said in past posts. Strength increase will lead to muscle growth in that area. A bigger muscle is a stronger muscle. That is why bodybuilders do try to increase their strength on exercises in general, even if they arent necessarily strong for their size. Hey whatever they did worked for them, you gotta remember that too.
