I would say no progress

there is such a thing as genetic limit. your hormone levels will only allow you to go so far...

Looking like stage 2 Palumboism. Still reversible.

Have you considered implementing some resistance training?

Bearing in mind your past record on here does this date have any significance to the authenticity of the photograph?

There is some progress.  I mean I am clearly a bit leaner at a higher body weight, so that must mean something.   :-\

This should be a good illustration of what one can expect if they are truly a lifetime natural.  Gains slow to a crawl.  I would estimate probably 7-9 lb gain in 8 years.

I think I am going to have to start siding with Simple Simon more when it comes to judging Lifetime Naturals.  Its pretty funny after looking back at old photos of mine and now and then seeing some of these so called "Natural" competitors.

Perhaps but you really can't compare yourself to someone who has good genetics for muscle building. That wouldn't be realistic. You've done great for someone who is almost a pure ectomorph w/ little underlying athletic makeup.
Well I did make it to Regionals in Track, Cross-Country and Swimming.  I was an epic 130-140 lbs though.

TA looks great.

But, I think he could maintain that with half the volume moving forward, if he desired.

Natural bodybuilding quickly becomes body maintenance after a few years of training. You're training to mainly just to maintain the mass you already have rather then add any more.
I've noticed that bodyparts can hit their natural limit at different stages though. I swear my chest maxed out after barely 9 months while my back continues to improve slightly every year.

the fuck are you talking about 'good genetics for muscle building'?

everyone has the ability to build muscle. it's an adaptative response to stress.

you think some people have better 'muscle building genetics'? is that the excuse you tell yourself for looking like a dork?

whites will pretty much all look the same at the same bf level and heights and weights if they have workout out an equal amount of time. where the 'genetics' comes in is the actual density a natty can carry. some carry denser fiber than others. and the way it sits on his skeleton. his structure. those are genetic you fucking dork. the 'building big musclezzzz part' is pretty much equal across the board for nattys.

I'm tired of hearing every twirp like you cry abt your genetics. your lazy and you don't train enough. secondly your 'genetics for building muscle' are on par w every other white guy of your height out there. guess what speedbag. every white natty who's 5'6 is prolly going to have the same amount of lean tissue. same as 5'7 5'8 5'9 and so on.

the only time genetics plays a part in how much muscle you'll accumulate is when anabolics is involved and the response to those compounds.

I will say I have noticed a few changes so far and I am in week 3 of your training.  I have never trained like this so it will be interesting to see over the coming weeks if I can get a little ahead.  Next week, the hard shit begins.
