why is getbig's standard of what's natural or not so low. You guys are pathetic somtimes seriously, if you think this is unnatainable you should stop training now because your never going to fucking get anywhere.

Talk about being naive.....have you seen the conditioning this guy comes in with.....he's more ripped than most the guys on the Olympia stage.

Just because he isn't 250lbs doesn't mean he's natural..... ::)
Title: Re: jrod - growing like a weed
Post by: Get Rowdy on February 05, 2009, 01:53:50 AM
I believe he's natural.  He's extremely methodical, and is very strict with his diet year round, never cheating.

He is still VERY lean.

There is a pic of him comparing tris with another guy.....no natural gets that lean.

you can, and he does.

if you diet correctly ( as he does), workout correctly (as he does), use correct nutrient timing ( as he does) its very achievable.

and he's not 205 he competes around 175 - although he's looking bigger now  8)

ok.....so show me another natural with striated tris and glutes.....if it's "very achievable" then why do no naturals have his conditioning?

And believe it or not, other natural bodybuilders know how to train and diet yet are nowhere near as ripped.....but i guess they just don't train/diet as hard, right?  ::)

There's plenty of naturals that have insane conditioning... the only difference is they're shredded at 165-185 instead of 225-265. There's a kid i saw on bb.com with striated triceps and glutes, he weighs 155 at 5'6 or 5'7...

Naturals can get as lean as users imo, but much smaller,  and also as dry/dryer because they don't have to worry about drug bloat.

I agree. From the top naturals i've seen(true naturals), they can get super shredded and it creates an illusion of them looking wayyyyyyyy bigger than what the scale says. Of course they won't be nearly as big as someone on AAS, but they'll most likely be in just as good if not better condition.

see get roudy's post for more examples  ;D

others may train and diet just as hard - but that doesn't mean they are using the correct training or dieting for naturals ;)

Yeah I remember seeing an interview with jrod, and he said in normal clothes he hardly looked like he trains, and that backstage "security" tried to stop him going backstage 'cause they didn't think he was a competitor haha.

Look at them and you will see the diffrence.

I am wise but i don't set my goals as low as you do, based on the progress i have made so far in only 2 years serious training i think a physique like "Jrod" is very attainable naturally. Shit webke do you even lift weights?

Yes he does look quite big in the first picture but his true size is revealed in the contest photos.

very true ..anyone who ever tried dieting down clean as I have will tell you

1. you become very very small

2. you cannot get under 6% with just diet

3. your muscles feel flat look flat and SMALL

4. you cannot get the water under the skin cause there are no diuretics

Those two guys are in the genetic elite..different ball game,

A natural once you get to 8% give or take will turn to shit , flatten out and look skinny , not full hard and lean like thse guys..its impossible for the body to keep on burning fat whilst maintaining muscle..those guys are on "support" I hate to burst your bubble mate but that is reality.

zane wasn't natural but has been known to do tons of volume + cardio and basically eat nothing but protein for extended periods during his diet - a sure fire recipe for disaster.

jrod uses low reps heavy weight ( very efficient at providing maximum protein synthesis and minimum cortisol release). he also uses proper pre/during/post workout nutrition, and eats a high protein diet with plenty of carbs.

he is basically doing everything right.

No,you now have clen,t3,peptides,gh and a vast array of other stuff to add plus fast acting aas.

Those guys are not natural.

And zane was one of the first to introduce thyroid hormones into his"diet" stack

The combination of mass and proportion at low bodyfat throws me.

P.s guys, why would you want to boost these guys ego by saying their on drugs etc. if you keep telling them you can't get a physqiue like that naturally it will boost their ego through the  roof wether their on drugs or not they will take it as a huge compliment..

Don't you think jrod would have much more vascularity and striations, in his upper body especially, if were using? - something McFarland mentioned awhile back.  I've never seen a juicer in contest shape with so little vascularity.

Zane is one of the bodybuilders who used drugs for 12 weeks up to the contest and stayed off otherwise i think..


The signs of AAS...  full round delts and alot thicker abs are what initially stand out to me usually.

vascularity, especially at that conditioning level - he doesn't have that either.

During competition, the 6 ft 5 in[5] (195 cm) Ferrigno's contest weight was 285lb (130kg) in 1975.JRod is about 5' 9" and 235 lbs at 13 % and 220 lbs at 7  % bodyfat.That's 65 pounds and 8 inches difference.Even allowing for height difference JRod seems to be carryong a lot of mass.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Ferrigno
http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/J-Rod/
Checked them his pics on myspace.On some he looks clean and his physqiue seems achievable for a batty.I still think he might have been using gear to keep mass while he was cutting down before the contest.Oh well....  :-\

however : J rod 's genetics are from Niburu thus making him vastly superior .... he stays away from AAS for fear of turning into somethink like the Hulk  :o

No one can be positively sure.You have to remember JRod has the benefit of creatine and protein powders.His physique does make you wonder as to what he would define as natural.

During competition, the 6 ft 5 in[5] (195 cm) Ferrigno's contest weight was 285lb (130kg) in 1975.JRod is about 5' 9" and 235 lbs at 13 % and 220 lbs at 7  % bodyfat.That's 65 pounds and 8 inches difference.Even allowing for height difference JRod seems to be carryong a lot of mass.

http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/J-Rod/
Checked them his pics on myspace.On some he looks clean and his physqiue seems achievable for a batty.I still think he might have been using gear to keep mass while he was cutting down before the contest.Oh well....  :-\

ffs - that is the wrong jrod  ::)

the one i posted have never been 235lbs, he gets up to 205 at his heaviest.

check out the other pics by mazrim - he is clearly natural, just a very methodical, hard working natural.

very true ..anyone who ever tried dieting down clean as I have will tell you

1. you become very very small

2. you cannot get under 6% with just diet

3. your muscles feel flat look flat and SMALL

4. you cannot get the water under the skin cause there are no diuretics
You are wrong about the water. It is actually easier to lose the water IMO dieting down without diuretics. Diuretics just makes your flat. Water isn't selectively pulled out sub q. It is pulled out everywhere including muscle.

Mindspin looked better than this guy (and this guy is on).  It's very unlikely that he is totally natural.  If so, this guy has some of the best gentics I have ever seen.  You get to caught up in the numbers.  176 lbs of muscle is a lot of muscle if you are completely shredded at 5'9.  Imo. this guy is to ripped and to full to be natural.  As many have said, when you are natural, and you diet for real, your msucle looks flat and you get small.  Flex Wheeler was about 180 lbs as an amateur and juiced to the gills.  I guess this guy has beter genetics than Flex Wheeler.

so to you -- a natural looks like some one who has never lifted a weight -- alright -- gotcha.

You don't much about anything do you?  You can have two guys with the exact body composition relative to fat & muscle and the same body structure, height, etc.  However, if one is juiced and the other isn't, they will look very different.  Again, it's not about he amount of muscle.

there is an easy test to determine if someone is mostly steroid free:  feel their testicles.  for someone to have that much mass at that level of hardness naturally, you still need lots of naturally supplied testosterone.  he better have balls 2-2.5 inches long.

And believe it or not, other natural bodybuilders know how to train and diet yet are nowhere near as ripped.....but i guess they just don't train/diet as hard, right?  ::)

Do a web search for Brian Whitacre.  As far as striated glutes and triceps.  Seen 'em myself last year at the 2008 WNBF Pro International.  Did everyone have them?  Nope.  I think that the glute striation thing is probably a 60% genetic / 40% diet thing when it comes to low bodyfat.  I say this because my left tricep shows great striation...yet my right doesnt show as much.

No doubt the guy looks great.  However "natural" is extremely boring NOBODY would buy supplements go to shows (not that many do) if guys that looked like that were poster boys for the IFBB.  If you wanna see guys like that get into modeling and buy an Abercrombie catalog.  The kid looks great, but most people want to see guys like Ronnie, Phil, Marcus etc.  Even though alot of you guys like a man with a aesthetic physique, IFBB bodybuilding would be dead if 95% of guys looked like that.  And dont say that IFBB is dead anyway, because they wouldn't still be having shows, sponsors etc if they weren't making money.  Natural is great, but this is BB not modeling. :-*

He looks absolutely fantastic first and foremost, but there's little to no fat in his diet. Unless he's more genetically gifted than we credit him, he's on the crank too. There's no way he can stay that shredded all year round without using something that's not considered natural.

Either way though, he looks great.

I think he's natural, I am Nowhere near his level but in the last 2 years I have come a LONG LONG way and often get the "are you on steroids" questions from people at work (and yeah I love it ;D ). It's funny tho I'm in my 30's now and eat very well all the time, makes you wonder how some of us could have looked if we had the same diet knowledge when we were in the early 20's 8). So yeah I think JRod is a nattie, and seems like a nice guy as well :).

a lot of hate towards jrod in this thread  :(

you all have to remember he is the role model for using scientific knowledge to build muscle.

1. he uses a workout routine that has been shown to stimulate maximum protein synthesis + strength while keeping cortisol to a minimum. ( yes i can back this with studies)
2. he uses the best possible pre/during/post workout nutrition - shown to increase protein synthesis 400+% reducing cortisol etc.
3. he is extremely methodical with his diet - a diet which has been backed by science to spare maximum protein while dieting, while still providing enough carbs to fuel his workouts. Also when he reduces calories he lowers them very very slowly - again helping keep maximum muscle while dieting.
4. he is extremely methodical with his workouts, using perfect text book form and focussing on the negative with every exercise.

While most in the know, up to date bodybuilders in general may have read about the importance of these factors for maximum effectiveness in your bodybuilding endeavours, how many can honestly say they do everyone 100% of the time?

you can, and he does.

if you diet correctly ( as he does), workout correctly (as he does), use correct nutrient timing ( as he does) its very achievable.

and he's not 205 he competes around 175 - although he's looking bigger now  8)

You my fruend are in complete denial;  Natural to you must be 1 gram of test a week.

Could you post a few studies or send me some on these? Particularly the diet aspect (pre-post, etc.). He basically uses the Max-OT diet with very minimal change. I used to do that but the protein intake was monstrous.
I thought you were an advocate of eating 3 meals a day similar and he eats like 7 or 8.

i advocate 4 meals a day - every 5 hours the 4th meal always being a 100g milk protein drink before bed ( as a 40g casein shake has been shown to take approx 7 hours to digest, with protein synthesis remaining elevated the whole time). i also have a pre workout drink ( 500ml of milk+ 10g creatine).

I have came to this conclusion from reading many studies on meal frequency, diets, synthsis rates/timescales etc that show either no difference or a slight benefit to the lower frequency in terms of muscle and strength gain.

these are just a few studies of many, but are good enjoy:

this is the biggest most impressive natural i know.. hes a natty pro as well. Gets smoked though cause he really is natty and most of the guys in the musclemania take more shit then the npc lol... I watched him go from an impressive but small 185-190 when we were kids to all time biggest here which was 210 and it took him 25 years basically.  It took me three years of being on small cycles to surpass him  when we were kids. LOL...
