Title: More INFO for Beginners.
Post by: The True Adonis on September 07, 2006, 08:55:10 PM
I just would like to re-iterate this to beginners so they don`t go setting unrealistic goals for themselves.

This applies to Lifetime Naturals:

The natural human will not make huge gains year after year.  It is a Scientific impossibility. Gains will be made, but minimal.  This is for everyone. There are ZERO naturals walking around at 5`11 or less, 220 lbs ripped.

NONE. The cutoff for a Lifetime Natural is around 200lbs or so. Give or take a few Pounds.

I challenge ANYONE to find me 5 LIFETIME NATURALS 5`11 and under, over 205 lbs ripped.



Be aware of this.

Sorry Adam, you couldn't possibly know that for a fact... There is no way you could research that.

Adonis, you are referring to contest shape right?

5'11 and 205 in contest shape is a lot bigger than you guys may suspect, and I do agree that it is around the max a person can get.  Think about anyone who competes at a higher body weight than that at that height - are they juiced?  Think about it.

Lifetime Natural is a hard road to follow in that  you have to be realistic in what is humanly possible....When you realize this, you won`t overshoot your goals and fuck up by doing some bullshit routine (DC)

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but bodybuilding as we know it is just drugs.  The only true "genetics" involved are genetic response to drugs.  Meaning that Adam may not be pro size ON drugs, but they sure as hell would be his size OFF drugs.

You guys get this right?  Please get it!

If pros were off the juice, they would be Adam's size.  They would be the size of my training partner.  Actually, I would doubt many of them would have 17" calves in good condition naturally.

Everyone here who is telling us that being huge consists of some incredible "work ethic" or "genetics" or whatever are insulting not only our work ethic and genetics, but also our intelligence.

Look at Tom Prince - weighing all of 180 pounds today.  But Tom did say that the last thing which makes a pro a pro is his gear cycles.  ::)

Tom also said his cycles were "extremely basic."  Yeah - 18 IUs of GH and one gram of test per day.  I guess it is pretty short and to the point.  ::)

Pay attention to MATT C.
This is the truth.

You won`t find this shit in the magazines.  But it is the Truth.

You are a moron. All this bullshit talk about "lifetime naturals". You are a jelous joke. Nobody cares about you or your opinions.
You are a nobody. Period.
It seems like you havent noticed that on this board people discuss Ronnie, Jay and others who obviously not natural and nobody here cares. Jelousy is killing you and you seem more pathetic with every stupid, pointless and childish post.
Just grow up, conquer your fear and get a bottle of Deca. You will love it.  Just throw some test in to it and you will tahnk me for it.

At the same time I am not lying nor do I push these "lies" as you put it - I got nothing to gain from it, the fact remains that bodybuilding results are unique to everyone, no two trainees are the same. You've demonstrated that with your "icecream" diet.

Adonis has several valid points.

The problem with his posts are he thinks he is standard aka the genetic elite. When the reality, this is not the case. So saying a natural can only gain 3lbs a year of muscle is laughable....just becuase you can't build anymore than 3lbs/year TA doesn't mean no one else can ;)

There is no such thing as average as the Human Population when viewed in its entirety, all have the same Protein Synthesis capability.

Remember that is when viewed on the whole.

Furthermore, there really is no such things as "Superior" natural genetics.

There is no standard for it,no reference point for "Superior" Lifetime Natural Bodybuilding Genetics.
Title: Re: More INFO for Beginners.
Post by: The True Adonis on September 07, 2006, 09:53:48 PM
Adam is saying there is no "genetic elite".  Human beings all gain muscle mass at roughly the same rate (slow).  There is also no evolutionary reason why we would ever need to have as much muscle as pro bodybuilders which is why it's impossible to get that size naturally.  Processing food (protein) and response to resistance training is also all pretty well the same amongst people.  I won't say there are 0 exceptions to this, but I will say that this applies to the sweeping majority of human beings.

EDIT: damn, we almost said the same thing at the same time.  ;D

No idea why they just don`t break it down like this in the Magazines.

When viewed as a whole, sure you can put everone in one general category. But, when you break it down some people have genetic characteristics that are more suitable to bodybuilding criteria than others. However, what I would call good genetics for bodybuilding is actually, evolutionarily speaking, bad genetics. The ability to stay very lean for one is considered good for bodybuilders, but is bad in an evolutionary sense. Back in the day (think caveman), they needed that fat. Things like insulin sensitivity and fat distrobution vary widely in the human population and these can either suit bodybuilders or not. That being said, you are right, many of us are lumped in the same category, we are all relatively similar genetically. However, there are those few that are genetically superior.

Post by: myseone on September 07, 2006, 09:59:20 PM
I don't know if this info hurts or helps beginning bodybuilders.

On one hand a goal of 5' 11" or so at 200lbs is qiuet good naturally, in fact excellent. A gentically gifted man could achieve this without supps, and drugs, it would take sound training, good diet, and enough rest. Basic stuff.

On the other hand, even though rare there are people who exceed this without drugs. Not many at 5'11", but I train an indivdual who weighs about 225-227lbs and he's probably around 9%.

At a height of just under 5'11" I have achieved a build of 210lbs, single digit body fat, without drugs (I have been clean for about 10 years, with drugs up to 230lbs single digits). My body weight now fluctuates between 200 and 210, and still single digits are held.

Once the drugs are out of the system the bodies natural levels of GH, Test, etc. go back to normal if excessive amounts of drugs were not used. So yes it is possible for a person to do it without drugs, rare,but possible.

Once you do sift through all the garbage I do feel TA has a few valid points:

1) becoming delusional thinking you are gaining muscle when it's just fat. We have ALL fallen into this trap, myself included
2) You don't need supplements, just simple food

Good point, but what exists as a strength in a certain environment can be a big handicap in another. In terms of genetics for bodybuilding with or without drugs, what helps is

1) Small hip to shoulder ratio
2) small to medium sized joints
3)long muscle bellies
4) ability to burn fat easily (in naturals)
5) Sturdy bones, tendons, etc.
6) Neuromuscular effiency
7) Good to great recovery ability


Other important factors (more so with drug free trainees, but also important for competitive drug users)
8) Discipline
9) high pain tolerance
10) intelligence (ability to learn, adapt training methods to circumstances, etc.. Not seen in all bodybuilders for sure)
11) passion

Interesting point, but no not really. Muscle cells don't stretch they get thicker with training. After you stop using drugs you are actually at a disadvantage because hormonal levels are way off, high cortisol low test profile (llok at former steriod users that stop, Mike Morris comes to mind. It took me about a year to begin growing again and I did'nt use that much (fact).

After the year I built up to around 205lbs defintely single digits body fat, and was able to get bigger than that at single digits drug free. Not to mention that i have not used in years (10 aprox.)

Not to mention that i incured a quadricep tendon rupture while I was training naturally (heavy lunges which put me out of training hardcore for close to a year. Add in the 9 month depression in which I did'nt train.

So no, the drugs and there effects are way gone. It's possible for some men to get that big naturally.

Furthermore, there really is no such things as "Superior" natural genetics.

There is no standard for it,no reference point for "Superior" Lifetime Natural Bodybuilding Genetics.

Your mental giantism has again overlooked basic physiology. typical of you BB Magazine know-it-alls. No we dont all have the same "Protein Synthesis Capability. Thats why some of us carry more muscle and respond differently to resistance training.  Theres a lot that goes into protein synthesis, but we are not all the same.  Androgen receptors, insulin response (glut. 4 receptor quantity), testosterone production... so on.
Look, i used to play ball with guys that seemed to synthesize protein off of canned green beans, jack in the box, and all the pot they could smoke. They didnt use steroids. They probably didnt even know what they were. All they had was good genetics, also known as... Protein sysnthesis capability.

myseone's diet is interesting, Not too strict or high protein:


      Meal 1. 3 servings of oatmeal (with a little sugar), 3 whole eggs + 4 egg whites, piece of fruit

      Meal 2. 2 yogurts, 1 small cottage cheese, fruit and/or bagel

      Meal 3. Lean cut of meat or fish, 4 slices of bread or bowl of rice, vegetables and hot pepper to the mix, maybe olives also

      Meal 4. 4 servings of sorbet

      Meal 5. Fish, vegetables, rice or potatoes, fruit






Good diet. You need more Wendys though. Change the Sorbet for Ben and Jerrys. Add Oreos.

Failed the Criteria. He is over 5`11.

Plus he could be leaner.

I take it your under 5'11"? is it beyond you to take account for the added three inches? If i could find the pics that are newer of Nick, id post em. Let me look. Oh wait, in those he was 235ish... does that count? Still natural too.

I'm 5' 8" 222lbs @10%bf.  I don't qualify though because of my cycle in 94'.  Dropped everything and more, started back in 2002 at 150lbs.  gained everything naturally since 94'.
Low bodyfat, I'd be @ 210lbs?



From the pics I've seen you're body fat looks higher than 10%.  Impressive physique but I don't know about that body fat.

Yeah I mentioned this earlier, last year. Concerning the strength I'm always strong, and have always been strong, and have lifted all the weights I posted clean. With the drugs I was a lot stronger, but I did'nt want to get ill and sick from D-bol or sus, so i stopped.

I actually tore my quad tendon lunging with a barbell, 500lbs, no juice. The weight did'nt feel heavy, but with that weight the bar bounces, and I lost control, not wisely I did it outside of a cage, I usually did them in a cage. I had regularly done this weight and more, and got cocky, so i payed.

Nowadays I train a bit lighter, with a slower rep speed and less cheating so to speak, bit I still get the drive to train as heavy as i was before, maybe i'll build up safely, I'll see.

You're a smart guy for not being a sheep about nutrition like so many.

Most of the stuff in Muscle and Fiction is nonsense and hyperbole, thats for sure.

It's a catch 22 because it's extremely hard to write a magazine year after year and tell the truth, I imagine. There is not much to this thing called bodybuilding. Not more than train progreessively on basics, eat well, rest and be patient, all basically summed up in a book like "Brawn".

Can you imagine what Flex, Musclemag, MD, or Muscle and Fiction would look like if they told the "real truth"
a skinny mag indeed, but better natural builds around the world.

Okay back to the business at hand,

Addonis, it is possible for some men to build physiques up and beyond level (probably not much above I agree) drug free. Rare but possible.

I would also say that most people that have the genetics to realize this probably won't, but it does'nt mean that they can't. Most people eat wrong for gaining muscle and staying lean, train wrong, and don't rest.

I'm honored,
Okay, but this is inapropriate eating. Most of the high protein nonsense is just dribble from the mags trying to get young and impressionable men to empty their wallets on protien supplements. No one who weighs 150-180 lbs at the end of the day needs protein supplements and gakic.What they need is lots of good wholesome food, primarily carbs to gain.

As I mentioned I currently train a guy who is in the upper single digits at around 6'2", 225lbs weight. Not 5'11" though, but if you adjust for ht to weight ratio he's doing well. I'm not sure if he would let me take his picks and post them here though, so he might as well not exist.

I'll have to start training my little bro and get back to you in 10 years or so.

I already did. this 5'11" thing is tardism at its finnest.

at his suggestion for retreivable findings, his request of 5'11" and 205lbs works out to be 2.88lbs/inch. that shouldnt be too hard to find.

For Nick, thats 3.125 lbs/inch .... exceeding his request. theres more to be found. Im just not going to google nat. BBing sites all night.

He posted a theory and you've then made extraneous assumptions. (Scaling)

Not to mention the fact that there is no guarantee he is lifetime natural or really at that weight.

I'm 100% sure he's natural.

I just would like to re-iterate this to beginners so they don`t go setting unrealistic goals for themselves.

This applies to Lifetime Naturals:

The natural human will not make huge gains year after year.  It is a Scientific impossibility. Gains will be made, but minimal.  This is for everyone. There are ZERO naturals walking around at 5`11 or less, 220 lbs ripped.

NONE. The cutoff for a Lifetime Natural is around 200lbs or so. Give or take a few Pounds.

I challenge ANYONE to find me 5 LIFETIME NATURALS 5`11 and under, over 205 lbs ripped.

i will admit honestly that i probably have a little more fat than that, i would estimate that i'm 15 percent BF , so i probably have around 35lbs. of fat, not great but not terrible compared to the general public, and yes, i would be well under 200 in "contest" condition without drugs, i'm not kidding myself.

thats true he rips into every other natural for looking like shit when they bulk went he done exactly the same thing.he also accuses all these other guys of thinking that the fat they are gaining is muscle yet he claimed that he has lost 60 odd pounds so i think he has just come to that realisation himself so he shoulded be so hard on these other guys for making the same mistakes that he did
