So, guys, Derek, more plates more dates.com. Today we are going to be talking about Taran Beckham again.

So if you guys saw my video on November 1st, you'll know I posted a video called Taran Beckham

naturally benches more than the world record. Natty or not. And this was a highly requested topic

that people have been asking me for a while. So I got around to it and there was a good response to the

video he actually commented on himself and I pinned the comment he basically just said uh thanks for

this I appreciate it out of everyone you went out this the best way even though you don't agree with me

when I made the natural video I did not have much knowledge on gear so I said some pretty dumb things

more and more I realize I'm just not going to win

this battle I feel I've made a more than reasonable natural development over the years you have to

think I've been training since a kid from football basketball on track almost a year round

every year in Texas born and raised that's how we are down that's how we are down there and there are

more like me that don't do social media to show

but a lot of people don't understand i was developed a lot earlier than the majority of people

which has led to how i am now how many people can say they have been doing some type of fitness

training consistently before becoming a teenager but i will leave it at that no hate here g-o-love

and then like i was a you know like a super polite response to somebody

basically calling him out and I was like like wow you know very surprising and very

humble sounding dude a couple days later or actually the next day he ends up posting on

Instagram and he basically shows him at 19 years old at 205 pounds and then him at 235 at 28 years old

which is current and he says in the caption I'll never understand why this is unnatural it's not like

I'm big and ripped but but but okay it's like the fitness industry like fucked up perception

of what is big and shredded is maybe different than what yours is.
