Title: Regarding training naturally
Post by: dj181 on December 25, 2010, 03:13:43 PM
Should growth be quickly apparent as a result of proper training? And if it's not quickly apparent does this mean that there is something wrong with one's training? Vanbilderass said something very interesting regarding this topic, so it inspired me to ask these questions. P.S. I asked these questions from a natural trainers perspective, coz I am a natural trainer, and therefore am thinking from a natural trainers perspective.

if you insist on training naturally, be realistic about your goals

trying to get as large as possible will leave you fat and out of shape

you're best served eating right, doing plenty of cardio, and incorporating weights as part of a healthy lifestyle - as it was intended

Assuming your training and dieting is fairly reasonable, it all boils down to your genetics. And the responses will run the whole gamut, from the few on either extreme (very poor and very good) to the majority, who'd get an average response.

Everyone responds well in the beginning because of the novelty factor, but very few people are patient enough to keep going naturally, year after year, since the increase in strength and size will decrease significantly. But IMO, people underestimate what is possible to achieve naturally - you won't look anything like a pro, but you can still improve and get in great shape over time, if you train properly and do all the needed stuff (nutrition, rest etc).

He is right.  I wish I could look like this, but I'm too short, too fat, too fugly and anything else that comes to mind.  Something to shoot for, I suppose.  I just borrowed a book from a friend called "Dinosaur Training".  Seems to make sense so far. I've found over the long, long years that while there may be no one right way for everyone to train, there's plenty of wrong ones for each of us.  Find what works best for you and then go for it.  I try to vary the theme, always staying within the framework that has given me the most for my time and effort.

I'll never look as good as Steve, but then no one has nor will.  Training is worth the effort.

..."Just the first question alone could be debated for weeks.

How big can you get, or someone else with different genetics, different level of dedication/work ethic, access to proper information, quantity and quality of food, etc? Person A might be able to get much, much larger than person B without steroids. Some people with really great genetics can get much bigger WITHOUT ever touching a steroid than another person with crappy genetics can get WITH tons and tons of drugs. Seen it happen many times, actually."


the above statement is the reason why BODYBUILDING IS SHIT ,,THE REASON WHY BODYBUILDING IS NEVER GETTIGN ANYWHERE,,THE REASON WHY THE LIES ARE KILLING THIS CULT,,

i was sent this quote ,,i didnt want to make big deal out of it in major postings i actually like to ignroe balonie such as this that i get daily,,but i show it here for a reason ,,this is why bodybuilders are considered stupid by public,,considerd slow ,,,considered goolible and rec users by public,,this exact qupte above

the fella who wrote it go by name of ron herris,,he maybe the most stupid person bodybuilding has ever seen ,,he is really really poision in the young brains of up and comers and all bodybuilding rats,,he is really is twisting every little piece of truth and kill the cult into an isolated wacked up society,,this is very bad and very wrong,,

maybe the worst person on bodybuilding information edge ever,,since he condiered writer,,he is also making money from gaspari nutrition which is a red alert to all of you ,,should be very concerning

I did answer it - it will come quickly in the beginning, but if you are training naturally, the gains will slow down big time after the initial spurt. Even if you have great genetics, you will still have to fight tooth and nail to improve. And you should enjoy the lifting and look at the big picture - how your size and strength has progressed over say, 3/6 months - year, rather than jump on the scale or bring out the tape measure after every workout.

ultimately, the more you put into natural training the less of a life you live

That's the biggest downside to natural BB.

You do it "right", you can look "impressive" to the normal person, but still look pretty far away from a bodybuilder. You will never get that fullness without steroids.

Doing it right means having your diet in check all year, never missing a training, always training hard (not necessarily heavy).

It's frustrating when you have a demanding job, and/or a family, then it's almost impossible to get it all together. The family wants to eat in a good restaurant at times, and you spoiul all the fun when you sit there with a sour face or eat your chicken and broccoli from a tupper ware in a restaurant.
Business partners expect you to drink and eat and be funny until 5 in the morning when you have done a contract here where i live, that fucks up your training and diet for a few days.

When you're natural, it gets impossible to progress further if you don't dedicate your whole life to it.

But to answer the initial question from my point of view: With natural training, gains have never been immediate. Growth spurs happen, but i almost don't realize them because i need a high calorie diet and put on fat as well as muscle, after cutting, i can see how much success i really had. When truly natural, you can be really happy with a muscle gain of 10 lbs per year in the beginning, in later years you will probably not be able to put on more than 5lbs per year, but you will have to put on the same amount of fat to do that, lol.

Create a good natural base for as long as you can take the frustration, and then hit the sauce very slowly, low doses first, and try to keep the dosages low, this is the best approach if you don't plan to become a pro, IMO.

I hear ya kiwi, but vanbilderass made a very insightful comment about gains coming pratically overnight, and I wholeheartly agree with this, since my natural muscle growth ALWAYS occured in spurts. And I remember reading Mike Mentzer saying the same thing. P.S. My fastest growth didn't happen until I was in my mid 20s, which was after over 10 years of fairly regular training.

Title: Re: Regarding training naturally
Post by: Heavy_Hitter on December 25, 2010, 04:25:41 PM
Natural- Depends how your body responds to training, food, and legal supplements.


Enhanced- Depends how your body responds to the above, plus hormones. Some pros never looked bigger than your average gym rat training natural. They just responded very well to anabolics. So sometimes genetic response to anabolics can over rule response to training and diet, too.

Not necessarily true, unless you make it to be. I made my best gains while having 100+ hour weeks - working a full-time job as well as a part-time job in the weekends on top of studying full-time. I still managed to go out and have fun once or twice a month, which is about as much as I want to anyway.

It's always the hard gainers who make a big deal about everything and waste too much time and money on things like training routines and supplements, from what I've seen. The big guys with good or great genetics who know how to train, hit the gym hard when they do, and then get on with their life when they're done.

The guys weighing 140lb are the ones who go home, read a ton of useless stuff, argue about it endlessly and spend money on crap supplements they don't need, on top of doing things like choking down on rice and chicken every 3 hours. And they still look bad years later, lol. Funny how that works.

 You know why you made your best gains? You went to to the gym, did your thing and got the fuck out because you knew you had to be at work early tomorrow! You probably didn't just sit there and talk, took your little time more seriously. You enjoyed your days off and let your mind and body relax which is a very important factor! The guys who have nothing better to do but hit the gym twice a day, over train, stay up all night because they have no responsibility are the ones who make all the fundamental mistakes and never grow

Well, depends all a bit on what you consider "big" and what you want to look like.

It's much easier to stay round 8% while keeping your muscles when you have a little chemical help, lol. It's all about convenience.  ;D

Haha "big" as in natural standards, not the IFBB pro bodybuilding level. I'm talking about 17"+ arms and 220+ lb body weight at 15% or less body fat levels. Don't think there is such a thing as a big natural at 8% or less body fat, lol.

you can compete natural at any age and los e to the juicer,,im talkin about GAINS,,you at age 28 will have no gains naturally ,,you will be stuck at numbers within 10-15lb zone,,while you are stress life,,girlproblem,,dont eat on the clock,,shit too omuch,,dont work out cuz sick,,etc etc....you will be on the lower end of the 15 lb range,,.......when everything is on spot ,,your workouts ,,your food,, your creatinelol ....you will be on the top part of the 15lb range,,you will consider it gains ---while in reality it will be no gains but playing with same numbers over and over and over like you belong on a chair next to jack nicolson in the kookoo nest movie lol

never the less the number 190 at any decent single digit bf at 5'10 will be a long long dream that wont comr true,,maybe youll hit 191 on halodrol for few weeks but then ,,,,hoopsi back to 178 moment you get back from ummm olympia expo where you showed it off

I think the growth spurts thing varies from person to person. Because of my genetics, my back, arms and shoulders always improve month after month, although we're talking about tiny improvements here (which add up over the years). I've had a few spurts here and there over the years, when breaking plateaus or after taking a few weeks break. But I'd say for me, the improvements have been gradual and not sudden so much.

Yep. I've been told I've got really good genetics and I've trained for over 20 years on and off. At my peak, I was about 218lb at close to 20% body fat. Dieted down, I don't think I'd have weighed more than 175 - 180lb tops.

 Why he just knows what most people expect out of natural training and it's something they can almost always never achieve! I agree it is a waste of time, even when you see a guy who's ripped up with abs, has some muscle who is 100% natural is more likely because he played soccer or basketball to achieve that look, the gym did very little.

with few exceptions, natural trainers have two choices:

a) be fat and fill out a shirt

b) stay lean and look small when fully clothed

It happens in spurts, i think it happens in spurts on gear as well only the frequency is far higher, less interval and the right stacks and it seems like lineal progression.

The guys that find their limits are the ones that don't fuck about with it, get in the gym train hard, get their nutrition right and have clear goals

Patience is key, i think about it like a piggy bank. You might not see changes day after day but every training session adds up and after a few months you step back and see changes.

Not so man, I know dat I gots twink status, but I was sub-6 at 146 and at 154, and believe me... Those 8 pounds of pure lean muscle tissue made a big difference. And according to God I can even add 30 more pounds naturally, while staying sub-6 8) Fuck man! I would even take 20 more lean pounds ;D

naturals do not go over 185lb at single digit at 5'10!!! reduce or add 5-7lb per inch ,,

gh15, the "185lb @ 8-10% for 5'10 natural limit" you give there imo should be more specific because of what you have stated in your bible in the past.
I have a post saved of your natural limits bible that says there is no debate, no arguing that 175lbs @ 8% for 5'10 natural bodybuilder is the absolute limit.

This recent posting would be adding 10lbs more to the natural limits of the 5'10 frame of human compared to your posts/bible a few months ago.

Maybe "185lb @ nothing less than 10% for 5'10" would you say, or is the natural limit bible now updated if it is 185lb @ 8% for 5'10?

5'10 185 8-10% will only happen if you sit in your house all day long,,do absolitely nothing but eating and eating good foods naturally most of time,,waking up every day at 2 pm,, sleeping goodf 8-10 hours a night,,having no job beside few hours in gym a week,, and having the best genetic respond to training possible for natural ,,


do you know many who will do it? do you know many that will waste their life for over 3-4 years doing this? usually they will quit or get severely depressed after doing it repetedly 3-4 years and quit or go hormone route,,

so those 10 lb i added are for the absolit most dedicated PSYCOS out there who do nothing absolitly nothing but bodybuilding,,that mean living with granma or parents,,all day long home,,living on 500 bucks a month from god knows what,,and are in the gym every day 5 times a week ,,usually at night because they sleep all day or eat ,,abolitely no girlfriend in life,,absolitly minimal stress,, usualy they dotn even have credit card or bank accounts,,

now this may give you 185 8% at 5'10 ...closer to 10%

worth it?

naturally you can step on stage 165-170 5-6% somewhere there close to 6% ,,from the front you will look 5% but moment you turn around youll look at lower back at think 6.5 % which will put you around 6% give or take

5'10-5'11 165-170lb on stage at 6% is great for true natural,,especially if he is symetric and balanced

8-10% since its very veery hard to say bf% until you go lower with water weight held on body,,8-10% the mean fellas at your gym will say you are 10% ,,usually the older ones who been training few losers for locals and considered local town guro ,,they will shout oh boy you are 10% some of them will say 15% but they are just nut cases,,

now the professional ones like gh15 will look at you ,,be silent for few moments,,ask you to do few movments,,all with shirt on ,,then ask to look at your back and abdominal and tell you your bf% which will be accurate ,,they will look for density and skin apperance that will determine  for them your water weight ,,then will tell you bf% which will as said be closer to truth ,,it will usually be 2-3 % less than what local gym guro tell you

so 10% will be 7-8% with a professional looking at you since professional can distinguish between water weight and fat ,,most local guros can not

you really are a waste of space and so used to steroids that you have no perspective.

i met up with a buddy of mine last week, who i havent seen for 20 years.

he's now been training, completely naturally, for 36 years.

He is 52.

He is built like a tank. big traps, big delts, forearms, pecs...and he's 52!!!

he benches just under 400 and squats that for reps.

probably the best physique ive seen in real life for a 50+ year old.

NEVER touched a single hormone. Won State titles when he was a teen and in his early twenties..against druggies.

he has 2 brothers who are the same...they are in their mid 40s and looking great- running fitness businesses and still training.

Ive said it over and over again- you train consistent enough and for long enough and you come up looking thick and better than any flash in the pan gear head who wants to get a quick fix and immediate satisfaction of growing.

even if your gains are 2 lbs per year, thats 40lbs over 20years. youll grow more than that for the first few years and while young of course.

I hit 175 natural in this first pic at 5'9" at about 23 years old. The second pic was taken a year later on about 300 mg a week of gear when I competed at 194.. so I gained some muscle.  That was the last time I juiced and I weigh a fairly hard 195 now at 48 years old without any HRT or hormones. I wonder sometimes what I would have looked like on a gram of gear mixed in with some GH. I bet I could have gotten fairly big. The bottom line is you can look pretty good on modest amounts of hormones and you can stay healthy if you're smart about it.   Of course you won't look like a modern day pro...but I am surprised at how many guys are tons of stuff and when they post their pics, they don't look very impressive.

Now that shows what you can do when you have a decent natural base and you then do a bit of juice and you just blow up. I think the juice was better back in your day as well. In the 80's, I grew off of 200 mg of test and 300 mg of deca a week. I was a hard 215 at 5'10" with good abs. By the way, your legs really improved in one year and you look so much thicker. Dude, you ought to go some test now that you're 48. If you look good now, imagine what 200 mg of test and a few IU's of growth would do for you. You only live once Bro.  ;)

Won't happen. You can have naturals over 12% that look big in clothes but shitty without, or ripped and small, but big and ripped just won't happen.

Now if i remember this correctly,  you're big, but rather on the fat side. If you would be in contest shape, you'd be a lot smaller or you are lying and you take steroids.  ;)

IF you been around long enough in this sport you would know that 200mg of American phara Test = about 400mg of todays shit and 100mg of Deca is now like 300mg now. The drugs in the 80's where pure and legit, not like the stuff the dealers sell now adays. gh you know that is how you guys make big bucks now a days, weaker product= more dosage=more$$$. Another example Anavar use to come in 2.5mg per pill and if you took a couple a day you would get harder and stronger. Guys at my gym tell me they have 25 and 50mg Anavar pills and have to use a couple a day, weak or fake shit.

but this fella in picture did nto do it on no hrt dose,,it is more,,its not much more but it is base gym rat cycle at young young age with still ok natural gh levels,,so he look good but no 300mg nothing,,its total of about 750-1000mg in blood total hormone,,good but! not good enough

you really are a waste of space and so used to steroids that you have no perspective.

i met up with a buddy of mine last week, who i havent seen for 20 years.

he's now been training, completely naturally, for 36 years.

He is 52.

He is built like a tank. big traps, big delts, forearms, pecs...and he's 52!!!

he benches just under 400 and squats that for reps.

probably the best physique ive seen in real life for a 50+ year old.

NEVER touched a single hormone. Won State titles when he was a teen and in his early twenties..against druggies.

he has 2 brothers who are the same...they are in their mid 40s and looking great- running fitness businesses and still training.

Ive said it over and over again- you train consistent enough and for long enough and you come up looking thick and better than any flash in the pan gear head who wants to get a quick fix and immediate satisfaction of growing.

even if your gains are 2 lbs per year, thats 40lbs over 20years. youll grow more than that for the first few years and while young of course.

gh15 you are so brain washed its sad.

Assuming your training and dieting is fairly reasonable, it all boils down to your genetics. And the responses will run the whole gamut, from the few on either extreme (very poor and very good) to the majority, who'd get an average response.

Everyone responds well in the beginning because of the novelty factor, but very few people are patient enough to keep going naturally, year after year, since the increase in strength and size will decrease significantly. But IMO, people underestimate what is possible to achieve naturally - you won't look anything like a pro, but you can still improve and get in great shape over time, if you train properly and do all the needed stuff (nutrition, rest etc).

Very well states, just remember to stay focused to get past the plateaus.  Its easy to keep working out when you body changes rapidly in the beginning.  As times moves on it is truly the dedicated that stay with it and persevere.

GH15 is so much more right than wrong.
Look up Dr. Greg Ellis, the nutrition guru.  I met this man and conversed with him on a few occasions.  He stated unequivocally that a natural trainee would be lucky to gain a total of 15 lbs. of pure muscle over the lifetime of training!!!
How discouraged I was when I had to come to grips with the fact that I was adding a lot of water, fat, and a little bit of muscle with all of my training.

Post by: dj181 on December 27, 2010, 11:34:52 AM
When I was 18, I weighed all of a buck 30 at 5'11" and my peak lean weight was 154. At 154 I was a legit sub-6, so that meant that I was carrying roughly 145 lean pounds, and at 130 I'm certain I was sub-6 also, since I ran track and cross-country. So at 130 sub-6 I had roughly 122 lean pounds, so that difference right there is a pure 23 lean pound gain.
Title: Re: Regarding training naturally
Post by: SilverSpoon on December 27, 2010, 11:47:06 AM
DJ, you may have not been fully matured by 18.
This is quite possible.
For instance, my real starting weight for serious weight/strength training is suspect because I was a starved tennis player.  I was 6'1" and 156-159 pounds at approximately 12%.  I got up to 193 at 12% with constant eating, no cardio and a perfect environment for training:  college.  I ate, slept, ate some more, hooked up with my girfriend, drank Myoplex like it was going out of style, slept some more, etc.
However, I didn't party with my friends, didn't stay out too late, didn't miss a meal, etc.

That is one of the stupidest things I ever heard. I went from a smooth 150 pounds to a very lean 185 from when I was 22 till 25 with no steroids. How absurd. Look at the gains made by guys like Bill Pearl.. before he ever tried juice . I feel really sorry for people who believe such nonsense. This Ellis guy is a guru? LMAO!

LoR, obviously, I had gained a total of 40+ pounds at that point, and was told I was above average.
He did say "the average trainee".
I could care less, as I still train hard, am over 200 pounds, look decent, but need to lose some fat, as I am sitting at about 15-16%.

Allright, fair enough. So at 23 I was 143 and sub-7, so that would put me at roughly 133 lean pounds, so that would be equal to a 12 lean pound gain, instead of a 23 lean pound gain. Would 23 years old be considered mature enough?
