Title: Example of a good natural, 7-8 years of training maybe more
Post by: Stavios on October 03, 2011, 10:05:56 PM
5'10, about 180 lbs

lean but not that lean

impressive physique in the gym for the average gym members, women compliment him on his size
other dude compliment him on his ability to get compliments from women  ;D

nobody says he is huge, everybody says he is in good shape and people who start working out have him as a goal

most importantly, Stavios doesn't call bullshit when he tells me he takes nothing but proteins and creatine


that = natural physique

put that in your blunt and smoke it

gets a lot of compliments at the beach and at the gym and yes he has a good looking athletic built

That depends.  If someone asks to see his abs and he pulls up his shirt and that nasty mess is what gets unsheathed, people will then ask "I thought you worked out".

veins are more visible when on aas and since the muscle is fuller it pushes against the skin so the skin is thigher and sit better on the muscle

don't know if it makes sense but my english sucks

Please end your posts right here.  You are being a moron. You chose to juice at a young age so you have zero conception of what can be attained naturally.  Both in those pictures are easily obtainable and you are a delusional beyond belief if either require roids of any kind.

I have a pretty good conception of what can be attained naturally because the naturals who have been training for a few years all come to me at the gym to ask me: BRO ! What am I doing wrong, why have I looked the same for a while

and they are all the same approximative size.

all of them

and I tell to all of them: if you want to be bigger than that just take roids

because that's the truth

I don`t dispute that notion at all, but just saying anyone with a six pack and a little bit of deltoid must automatically be on roids is just rather silly.  I know you know better than this.

Exactly - You should post this on a few other threads here where Gfake15 claims you can't build more than 10 pounds of muscle naturally and that you can't maintain a lean physique of any kind naturally.

Thats the problem you see, the line becomes blurred when talking about gifted naturals who have put time in.

Of course drug users and guys wih bad genetics dont want to admit what can be achieved because its a closed door to them.

You can look really good as a natural, you just won't be much over #185-200 at anything resembling leanish condition at a normal height with great genetics.

I think what Stavios and Chess315 posted is what a true natural looks like after 5+ years of training.

The problem is that today there are so many AAS users claiming to be natural that it screws up the average persons reality of what is obtainable without drugs.

Then you have idiots talking about Ronnie Coleman becoming a Pro as a natural and all that nonsense.

The pictures that Stav and Chess posted are what a true natural looks like. You can usually spot a juicer quickly due to the redness of the skin and water retention.

keep educating people on what natural looks like, it gets frustrating when people claim you have the worst genetics because you look natural and will tell a fake natural he has great genetics because he's juicing

people always forget about normal genetics

bad genetics would be those guys who get ridiculed at work because they're so thin, but in bodybuilding they will say bad genetics when you are still under 200lbs after some years

bb.com and t-nation is loaded with people who are convinced that if you are not lean 200lbs minimum (6' lets say) your training, nutrition, and or genetics suck

He doesnt carry muscle well, lacks seperation, shape and condition.

I have seen far better naturals, true naturals. No you wont be 250 lb, its illusion and this guy doesnt have the genetics to create much of an illusion.

Lol at this guy being the pinnacle of natty training. Just accept that some people are more gifted than others, the same can be said with drug usage.

There is a cutoff with weight though granted. But no two 200lb guys will look exaxtly alike and thats where the individual traits come in.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh where to begin on this one...

Stavios, thanks for displaying a true natural.  This is what most every and all naturals look like who train hard, but aren't necessarily dieting, but keeping their everyday look.

Next, why is it that every natural must post a picture with the best light, at some awkard angle, which usually does not display their entire physique??  I understand you want to show yourself looking at your best, but to then take that and compare it to how you really look on a day to day like the pic Stav posted is ridiculous.

PureNaturalStrength, thank you for your thread.  That is what a good natural looks like without overdisplaying yourself or over emphasizing only your good body parts.

Suckmymuscle... do you realize what 40 lbs of muscle is?  Not water, not fat, but natural lean muscle mass???  I hung around 210 at about 12% bf when I was natural.  I highly doubt you could have added 40 lbs of natural lean muscle mass to that physique.  You claim 40 lbs AT LEAST naturally on ANYONE here though... don't be stupid.

a question, since i didnt think it was worth a thread ill ask it here.

how many people have gained 20 lbs (approx., i mean significant noticable gains), with these proviso

1- NOT NEWBIE gains, meaning you had never worked out or eaten with the purpose to grow ever before. lets say at least 5 years training, AFTER which you put on an additional 20 lbs.

2- LEAN WEIGHT, obviously some fat is always put on, but im talkng you are gaining more muscle than fat, not a 15 pounds of fat, 5 pounds muscle "bulk cycle"

3- ADULT GAINS, not 'well i started lifting at 15, now im 20 and gained xxx weight'. that doesnt count, because going through puberty adds weight/muscle without touching a weight, or even really trying to eat to gain.

4- CLEAN, the tough one.

im just curious. even if it took 10 years after the initial 'newbie' growth spurt, im wondering how many have put on 20 lean pounds as an adult, drug free.

even if it took 10 years after the initial 'newbie' growth spurt, im wondering how many have put on 20 lean pounds as an adult, drug free.

it cannot be done, 10lbs tops

a question, since i didnt think it was worth a thread ill ask it here.

how many people have gained 20 lbs (approx., i mean significant noticable gains), with these proviso

1- NOT NEWBIE gains, meaning you had never worked out or eaten with the purpose to grow ever before. lets say at least 5 years training, AFTER which you put on an additional 20 lbs.

2- LEAN WEIGHT, obviously some fat is always put on, but im talkng you are gaining more muscle than fat, not a 15 pounds of fat, 5 pounds muscle "bulk cycle"

3- ADULT GAINS, not 'well i started lifting at 15, now im 20 and gained xxx weight'. that doesnt count, because going through puberty adds weight/muscle without touching a weight, or even really trying to eat to gain.

4- CLEAN, the tough one.

im just curious. even if it took 10 years after the initial 'newbie' growth spurt, im wondering how many have put on 20 lean pounds as an adult, drug free.
When I got married at 24 I was 13st 2. I was 14st 12 at the same bodyfat (12-15%) 16 years later last year.

haha I like this question

this is me in 2005 on the left

2008 on the right

that is a 15 lbs gain, in 3 years !

now in 2001 I would be about 15 lbs bigger than the picture on the right

so ON DRUGS, I gain about 5 lbs a year

5'10, about 180 lbs

lean but not that lean

impressive physique in the gym for the average gym members, women compliment him on his size
other dude compliment him on his ability to get compliments from women  ;D

nobody says he is huge, everybody says he is in good shape and people who start working out have him as a goal

most importantly, Stavios doesn't call bullshit when he tells me he takes nothing but proteins and creatine


that = natural physique

put that in your blunt and smoke it

this exactly describes me to a T before I started juicing. same stats and everything. Couldn't be any more accurate

I STARTED AT 155 LBS 5 11 AND PUT 0N 25 LBS 0F MUSCLE DRUG FREE IN 3 YEARS 0F TRAINING. DURING THIS TIME I WAS ALS0 G0ING THR0UGH A GR0WTH SPURT AS I WAS 17 WHEN I STARTED.  NATURALS MAX 0UT AFTER 2-3 YEARS. THEY D0N'T KEEP MAKING GAINS YEAR AFTER YEAR. PAST THE 3RD YEAR, Y0U CAN GET STR0NGER BUT N0T BIGGER.

yes thats why i said "not during puberty" or "not newbie gains", i personally went from 150 to 175 over 3-4 years, but it was newb growth and in my late teens to around 21 - a time when anyone with testicles can grow. im asking about REAL gains.

WELL THEY'RE STILL REAL GAINS BECAUSE THE WEIGHT TRAINING PUT M0ST 0F THE WEIGHT 0N. IF I NEVER LIFTED I'D BE AR0UND 160 LBS. 20 LBS 0F MUSCLE LESS THAN WHAT I AM N0W.

He doesnt carry muscle well, lacks seperation, shape and condition.

I have seen far better naturals, true naturals. No you wont be 250 lb, its illusion and this guy doesnt have the genetics to create much of an illusion.


Post a picture of what you believe the natural limit is.

It's hard to know who a "true" natural is because the only person who really knows is the person in question. It is possible to use certain steroids and not look like it. 90% of the "natural" pictures i see on the internet are not of natural lifters, but again the only person who knows the truth is the person in question.

It better not be Layne Norton.

Also, it's impossible to gain more than 5 pounds of solid muscle a year for a lifter who has been training for more than a year.

heh thats the worst part, you work so hard to build every ounce natural, but to lean out you have to sacrifice so much it seems not worth it almost.

Yeh but you can take lay offs for weeks if you need too and not lose any muscle when natural.
Thanks. I am losing slowly, just like with the building of it, I am in no hurry, I am lean enough to start with that any lost is just progress. Aiming to lose just 1 to 1.5 pounds of fat a week.

Of course drug users and guys wih bad genetics dont want to admit what can be achieved because its a closed door to them.

I have a pretty good conception of what can be attained naturally because the naturals who have been training for a few years all come to me at the gym to ask me: BRO ! What am I doing wrong, why have I looked the same for a while

and they are all the same approximative size.

all of them

and I tell to all of them: if you want to be bigger than that just take roids

because that's the truth
and your concept of what can be achieved applies to 5+ billion people??

and no natural can look good or better than them WRONG..... !
what does a peron who has trained let for argument sake say 2 yrs natural then took drugs.. know about every natural on Earth... guys who have been training10 20 yrs natural.... ???

Not everyone has the same potential and you are suggesting that everyone maxes out at that 3 year figure.. not saying gains are huge, might even be barely noticible, but they add up over the years. Sure the main bulk of your size gains will come in the first 3 to 5 years but after that with consistancy one can continue to slowly gain size, strength, lose fat/while keeping muscle over the years, an generaly have a tighter more complete and impressive phsysique in the long run. After the 5 year mark I'd say the improvements are small and more fine tuning but they will be there with some work.

it is like this ,, ill tell you how the natural mind work lol

2 year natural ,, on some protien pwoder the infamous weight gainer lol and creatine diahreeas....

then another 6 months on diff creatinethat doesnt cause diarea lol and then bcaa and what other balonieisthere ? lol ummmm bcaa and GLUTAMIN lol yes glutamine...

 and then at the 3 year mark! the true natural go to .... pro hormones! ,, he go to  pro hormones or designer steroids ...now this.... is steroids my friends,, but we forgivehim for that lol so he uses halodrol or superdrol or whatever designer REAL steroids out there....and gain his 10lb and this dont go away anywhere...he keep them so sudenly the so call true natural isno more 178lb but he is 188!  lol and he is hormonized but he is forgiven and remain natural since he did it only ....for ....7 weeks or 5 weeks so it doesnt count,,so that 8-10 lb dont count ...he is forgiven lol

thennnn in the 4 year mark the peptides come in ... lol and the esterless compounds lol ,, the peptides ofcourse are for research so it is natural ,, everyone sell them ,, look online lol every boarding has them free for everyone to use lol 40 dolaros and you got peptides who put water into muscle lol  so it is used by naturals ,,

and ofcourse on top of that ANTI ESTROGENS AND AROMATZE INHIBITOR...FOR RESEARCH USED ALL OVER BY TRUE NTURALS..

so sadly this is true natural for you today ,, some fellasdo it with out all this ...and only use some halodrol at one time and creatine,, those are the only one who are close to true naturals....

I agree with this, but all that work and all those years and those hours in the gym, cooking meals, making sure you do everything right, and spending money on all those pre-workouts and creatine and all that, for just minimal (barely noticeable) gains each year that if your lucky and have the genetics may compound to look decent after several years while some guy on juice for 6 months can blow your physique out of the water??  Doesn't sound worth it to me and I've been on both sides of the spectrum... 8 years natural training, 2 years sauced.

That didnt really debunk what I said though GH, you just instead said how most naturals progress which I guess in a way refutes my point by saying most dont stay natural long enough to ever top out naturally.

I am a bit different though, after the 3 year mark of protein and creatine I found getbig and then decided to just eat food not worry about the anabolic window and got same results that I got with the snake oil lol with less stress and money pissed away. I swear its better now because I do not worry about that shit and just kind of keep the mind set of maintaining or slow gains when I am more gym focused and less wrestling and bjj focused.

I feel you which is why I have mostly stopped trying to get much bigger and instead prefer to maintain what I have already built through hard work with minimal effort, execpt for those few inspired workouts here and there lol.

To be honest my new motivation for lifting weights and eating heavy is to simply keep my weight and size the same while I do all of my grappling training and mma conditioning. It is a new goal, instead of delusionaly building, or hoping to build pro level mass as a natural I am content to be 200lbs at 5'8" while I workout around 4hrs a day which is pretty hard so it is a fun realistic natural goal to have.

That's the natural competitor maybe, earlier talk was of completely natural, non competitive.
I don't do any pills, not even aspirin for a headache. The only thing I have introduced in the last year is whey protein straight after a workout. Other than that its all normal high protein, low carb foods with a high carb day every 4-5 days.

its been a misconception that natural guys hate on juicers.. its actually the other way around....
it seems that in a juicers mind ... whatever level he started taking drugs at is the benchmark for all natural..
and no natural can look good or better than them WRONG..... !
what does a peron who has trained let for argument sake say 2 yrs natural then took drugs.. know about every natural on Earth... guys who have been training10 20 yrs natural.... ???  
these bards have become totally ridiculous..
anyway.... my 2 cents
...
mes out



I have no hate at all, I think the guy looks great

(of course delusional people say he looks like shit because they can't identify with picture.if they saw that guy in person they would notice he looks like he has some years in the gym)

I feel you which is why I have mostly stopped trying to get much bigger and instead prefer to maintain what I have already built through hard work with minimal effort, execpt for those few inspired workouts here and there lol.

To be honest my new motivation for lifting weights and eating heavy is to simply keep my weight and size the same while I do all of my grappling training and mma conditioning. It is a new goal, instead of delusionaly building, or hoping to build pro level mass as a natural I am content to be 200lbs at 5'8" while I workout around 4hrs a day which is pretty hard so it is a fun realistic natural goal to have.

See, this is what I respect ^^^^^^^^

I don't understand the constant arguments over natural or not natural... whos better, whos worse... whos lying about it, who isn't...

I'll break it down simply:  Set goals and act accordingly.

RC Money has set a goal of pursuing MMA and maintaining what he has in terms of muscle mass.  Great goal and if he is happy with that and it motivates him in the gym than that is awesome.

I can't stand those who claim their goal is the IFBB and then try to claim natural.  If your goal is to be the best natural you can be, then pursue that goal, display your best true natural physique and be proud of it.  If you aren't satisfied with that then guess what???  You need a new goal!!

If your goal is to have the best physique you can possible obtain than go for it, juice and all!

If you want to be the strongest lifter then go for it and do whatever that will take.

My point is, why set a goal and then lie to others about what you did to achieve that?  Why not just set a goal that you are really proud of and be proud of whatever you did to get there?  I just don't get the lying... whatever it may be about...

It's funny because I see a lot of natural in real life who are just as I described. All of them.

Because you obviously have no idea what can be accomplished with 10-15+ years of consistent, systematic training and good genetics. You may have seen a few naturals, but you haven't seen all of them and the world/reality is bigger and more diverse than what you think it is.

There are naturals out there who are better. None of them may look like a pro bodybuilder, but to say the guy in those pics is among the best is just plain wrong. What if I told you that I've seen guys who are far better? There's not a lot of truly impressive naturals out there, but there are a few. Not every single guy who lifts is into reading the "bible" and sticking pins in their ass cheeks, lol.

Johnny Falcon is another example of someone far superior. And he's not the only one, trust me.

If you want to take their word for it, go ahead.

Some of us know better.

This entire arguement is not valid, because non of us know which person is truely 100% natural. We can only take them on their word and what we know after being in this game for many years. I can spot a juicer a mile away, but you don't have to take my word for it.

Again though, why does it matter???

Natural or Not...

I agree with you Kiwiol that not everyone who lifts wants to stick needles in their ass and compete in bodybuilding.  Why does it matter though either way??

It's 2011, we are all educated enough to understand the real effects of steroid use on the body so who cares who does them and who doesn't, when they do them or don't do them.  The obvious lying just doesn't make sense to me.  However Overload is right though, we are just going on everyones word.

I do have to disagree with you on somethings Kiwiol... If see enough naturals, you'll learn what natural looks like whether you were natural for 1 year or your whole life.  Just like bodybuilding contests... if you look at enough photos, after a while you know who is holding water, who didn't diet hard enough, who looks flat, etc... I'm not a huge believer in experience or age or whatever giving you a better edge than someone without.  If that were the case, Phil Heath would not be Mr. O.  Respect in anything in life is earned, not just given because of a length of time.  

I love how people will argue with someone about whether they are natural when they claim to be but even if someone looks like trash, if they say they are on juice, you don't often hear an argument... just something to think about...

In terms of sheer muscle mass a natural won't get very far. You may look built, athletic or whatever but never huge.

What can make a natural look impressive though is of you build a decent amount of muscle mass(say +20lbs on top of your average adult muscle mass) and then get shredded while keeping most of that muscle. So in my book, most naturals don't have problem with getting the muscle mass, it's just a matter of controlling bodyfat and water retention. For example the guy Stavios posted pics of is probably close to what's achievable muscle wise naturally, but he can certainly get rid of some blubber and look more impressive.

Height and the shape of your muscle bellies also matter a lot.

You can train for 10 years and know EVERYTHING. A beginner that starts juicing will surpass you in 1 year.
180 lbs for life :-\
The best thing a natural can do is get there and then work on getting lean as fuck and stay lean. That's the only way a natural will be impressive.

Of course you have, bro. I'm just saying what you've seen isn't all there is to it or the upper limit, having seen my share of things myself.

I'd say 95 or maybe even 98% of the naturals out there stop progressing after the first 2-3 years, but there are some who build respectable physiques that are a lot better than your original example, even though that guy isn't too bad himself.

Please end your posts right here.  You are being a moron. You chose to juice at a young age so you have zero conception of what can be attained naturally.  Both in those pictures are easily obtainable and you are a delusional beyond belief if either require roids of any kind.

Adam,

No need to argue on the interwebz about that.

but at the gym, when a guy "brags" about being natural walking around weighin 250 lbs at 5'9 and try to start shit with roiders, when I KNOW FOR A FACT than he has been on drugs for many years (knowing where he buys it and also how much he takes), it pisses me off a bit.

As much as natural bodybuilding is a lost cause on Getbig, so is telling a die hard natural that he is not one of these exceptions.  Problem is an exception is RARE and in the natural world, an exception would carry Max 10 lbs more of muscle and naturally that is a LOT.  However, 95% of people are not that exception, but good luck telling a die hard natural that.

In terms of sheer muscle mass a natural won't get very far. You may look built, athletic or whatever but never huge.

What can make a natural look impressive though is of you build a decent amount of muscle mass(say +20lbs on top of your average adult muscle mass) and then get shredded while keeping most of that muscle. So in my book, most naturals don't have problem with getting the muscle mass, it's just a matter of controlling bodyfat and water retention. For example the guy Stavios posted pics of is probably close to what's achievable muscle wise naturally, but he can certainly get rid of some blubber and look more impressive.

Height and the shape of your muscle bellies also matter a lot.

only in pictures friend only in pictures,, theshape and all that isall good for pictures,, in reality yuo need the thickness that go hand andhand with condition size! you need it and you wont haveit with out hormones,,

yes some natural look good at 167 lb when they weigh in for competition ...but wil it give them the win? no it wont,, 4rth or 3rd place mr neverland,,thats whatit giv them ,, it give them maybe sense of accomplishment...did they get there naturaly? hell no they didnt,,

they used fat burners,, they used halodrol while bulking lol they use some fake aas that they were burnt with but had some hormone inside underdose.... they played the field ...no one is dumb enough to remain natural in a sea where natural = gettingno where...true natural that is ,,

dont make excuses for liars,,most naturals lie,, the ones who dont at best case scanario will be sittign 170lb 6% 5'10 they in most liklihood wont win any competition butplace somewhere in the middle lets say 3 out of 7 ...or 4 out of 8...

yuo get the idea right? good

this is thetruth fella ,, you need read nothing more..THIS IS THE TRUTH

I have never called out anybody on getbig who was claiming natural, usualy my mind is already made up and if the guys says he is natural then be it but if I don't think he is I just let it go.

No need to argue on the interwebz about that.

but at the gym, when a guy "brags" about being natural walking around weighin 250 lbs at 5'9 and try to start shit with roiders, when I KNOW FOR A FACT than he has been on drugs for many years (knowing where he buys it and also how much he takes), it pisses me off a bit.

I like when people just mind their own business IRL

Stavios, good post bro.  I think it would cool if no one gave a shit who was on what or who wasn't.  This is BODYBUILDING.  Build the best body at all costs.  This is a bodybuilding board lol.  People wanna post their pics and lie about what they use or do like it matters.  Just keep building you body however you best see fit... PERIOD.  If you're not happy with the physique you have natural or not, then you need to keep working on it in the gym, the kitchen, and of course... Wait for it... If your goals in bodybuilding are high enough... Yes kids... THE HORMONES.

Hahaha... The end of that post was for you gh15 haha.

Of course you have, bro. I'm just saying what you've seen isn't all there is to it or the upper limit, having seen my share of things myself.

I'd say 95 or maybe even 98% of the naturals out there stop progressing after the first 2-3 years, but there are some who build respectable physiques that are a lot better than your original example, even though that guy isn't too bad himself.

If you're talking average gains, then yes, you're right about the timespan making little difference. But there are also some who are exceptions is my point.

And the whole natural bodybuilding topic is a lost cause in Getbig - there's no winning if you take that stance, esp. when the "enemy" is comprised of respected Getbiggers like you and Stav and others, who far outnumber the few naturals there are ;D

I'm not naive and I don't think every person who claims natty status is speaking the truth. Far from it.

there are no naturals over 170lb 5'10 6% ,, never was and never will be,, thebest genetic naturals of italian andblack genetic stop at 168-170lb 65 dry on stage,, they are the best and anyone over those numbers and notice the heights! im saying here,, 5'10 ...not 5'8.... the fellss who hold those numbers are genetic elite and not manyaround,, with shirt on they look like balonie,, with out shirt they look like a road map ,, they are small group and theyjust dont look like bodybuild with clothes on ,, with out clothesyuo will bejelosu of them usualy no mater what size you have unles you are hormonized and bodybuilder that can get also in condition and justbigger condition lol

your picturs are midleading,, they are very much close ups,, they dont show the true cases ,, they dont show how small those fells are in relashion to smoeone who get in gymnasium 200lb 6% ...,,and ifthey are 200lb 8% they are hormonized...so why even fellas should bother guess,,

illsuion in pictures is everything when it come to internet bodybuild,,,try to pull it in a gymnasium or on stage...it wont work ,, the thicker survive on stage,, if you can be conditioned and thick....THATS when the americano whore start smiling at you at any given moment with i want you between my legs type of look ,, they all do it because women smell conditioned muscle,, they do it all of them ,,, ages 18 to 60 ,, 16 -17 too...

conditioned muscle ,, that mean THICK AND! low bodyfat and good frame and build,, those fellas ofcourse are hormonized and those are the only ones who get a second look

Fucking hard to say

first of all, he is not that thick, he just has a fucking AWESOME structure kinda like yourself.

second, he is a black dude

a 6'1 black dude could MAYBE look like this, I'd say he might have used some orals or prohormones

195 lbs in that condition is still heavy but he looks like he has a big frame

legs look smooth too

could be natty ..

Congrats Stavios ,way better assessment than GH15, the picture really doesn't do him justice ,he had a huge frame .
After 3 years of working (stripping ), working out  and partying together, I found out he was using  stanozolol, he told me he was natural he even competed in natural shows , I believed him because he always looked the same and we were hanging out together everyday, I don't know why he lied to me I didn't care either way.

I posted the official result and passed the drug test. I had not used any drugs for 7 yrs when I took 1st at that contest.
It is waste of my time to even try to convice some of you. Your minds are made up and you need "drugs" to be reason for BB gains for whatever reason.
Sure, drugs work and no top pro can get there without 'em.
But you can make pretty good gains and enjoy the sport without drugs.
The 99% of us who workout for personal reasons never need drugs to make decent gains and be happy and healthy.

If you don't believe that, then good luck.

How bout not risking any possible legal trouble or the fact that being 20 to 30 pounds heavier with less bodyfat isnt the most important thing in the world when things are put into perspective.

Any pics of Howard competing? I would be very surprised if he ever was below 12% bodyfat.

Never saw any physique shots of him but I'm pretty sure his "ripped and lean" was about as ripped
as Goodrum at his shows.

He could prove me wrong but he wont.  ;)

Yes but those pictures you saw are from shows in 1975 in the "Mr.John Travolta Grease Lightning" contest where he said he was hormonized.

but he has not posted pictures of that show in 1996 where he claims to be natural at 195 lbs

After 2 years clean @18YO i got to 185 5'8' at 12% BF (tested), had my abs out even then but not the definition on the other bodyparts by a mile, the third year training i got good strength and a bit more size but that was pretty much it. Actually the size in the third year probably came off the diet i did after 2 years and after that i could not really go anywhere significant in size, only some more strength.

Once i juiced and dieted the definition was far greater all over, it would have taken years and years to get that definition so deep with good size, if the definition came ever, size or not, and i can still hold all this today with much better quality years after cleaning out. Without juice i would never have looked huge in clothes while lean, now clean i do even with low BF, i am sure people like gh15 might disagree but i never had a problem dropping actual muscle size after cleaning out, only the excess water the hormones made me hold.

Maybe if i was 220 lean at 5'8' i would have lost a lot of size, but 200 5'8' no problems with definition all over.

I had some pics up of my glory days a few years ago.
I was ok, nothing special, but at least I had good abs when on stage in shape.
It was along time ago and I was pretty average so it really doesn't matter.

yea, i would agree.  in clothes i looked pretty big when I was heavier, but my face looked so fat it disgusted me lol.  This past year I've just been dieting off and on to stay lean so that I look good.  I'd like to bulk and put on some more muscle, but the trade-off of looking like a troll for 6months to a year while bulking just isnt worth it to me right now.
again that's the tradeoff,if ur on something u could afford to smooth/fill out cause you looked jakked up staring in the mirror no pump.like i said your on the right track train ,eat,repeat .don't chase the unreachable.

im 5'9.  and not long.  i can gain weight very easily because ive learned how to eat.  i get fat along the way though.  id say i normally gain 10 lbs a month when bulking until i hit 220.  to get over 220 for me is difficult without turning into a real fatty.

You look awesome man!  Great job!  Keep up the good work!    8)

good build,  you certainly leaned out from the chubby 220 when you were 20 to the pic at 26 weighing 175. about 5 pounds in 6 years, possibly slightly higher bf%.

this is what i mean, and again it somewhat follows my own personal experience. work out natural and make good gains late teens early 20's (even someone with bad genetics can do this). hit a wall in which muscle/strength gains come to near complete halt. then lean out, which is the idea, show what you have, but in a way it fools us into thinking we are still making gains/progress, when in fact our muscluar gains have essentially stopped.

looks like the rough pound per year of lean weight is what the natural can expect, once the intiital growth spurt is passed.

If that, once you've tapped out. I'm still the same weight now (158 pounds) when I compete now, 10 years later! (So I guess it took me 10 years to reach my genetic limit as far as contest weight goes) and in the following 10 years I didn't built much new muscle tissue weight beyond that (despite eating consistently, lifting heavier and more intensly) I'm talking real dry contest muscle tissue come contest time (not bloat - water,fat,glycogen) I've bulked up 20 pounds over my stage weight, but diet down again I'm still the same :P Guys that use juice seem to gain more muscle tissue consistly every year.  But weight is not the only measure of improvement IMO.. I'm significantly better at that same weight now. So improvement/maturity for me comes with added detail, condition, hardness. Not sure if that makes sense .I'm 38 now to get bigger and put on more contest muscle at this stage I'd have to use gas...

impressive physique in the gym for the average gym members, women compliment him on his size
other dude compliment him on his ability to get compliments from women  ;D

nobody says he is huge, everybody says he is in good shape and people who start working out have him as a goal

most importantly, Stavios doesn't call bullshit when he tells me he takes nothing but proteins and creatine


that = natural physique

put that in your blunt and smoke it

 I really don't undertand what it is with getbig's obsession with being lean.  Anyone can go on a diet for 8 weeks and get shredded, that doesn't get my respect. Growing your muscles huge, that is an impressive feat and anyone who lifts weights knows how hard 1 pound of muscle is to come by and the work it involves. I can only imagine how hard it gets once you reach "freak" size fuck that must take an insane amount of drugs.   I remember when Groink was bulking and got to  270 and pretty smooth... everyone was giving him shit years ago...well who's laughing now?  you guys remember Dave Tate? people on here called him a "Fat fuck" behind his back all the time lol.  Did you see him after working with Trop for 10 weeks :o?   Same with gh15 whats his deal with wanting to be lean all the time.

Adonis, maybe we should team up so we can crush all these delusionites who tell us what nattys can look like when none of them are natural themselves.

Alone we are mighty, together we'd be invincible ;D

I really don't undertand what it is with getbig's obsession with being lean.  Anyone can go on a diet for 8 weeks and get shredded, that doesn't get my respect. Growing your muscles huge, that is an impressive feat and anyone who lifts weights knows how hard 1 pound of muscle is to come by and the work it involves. I can only imagine how hard it gets once you reach "freak" size fuck that must take an insane amount of drugs.   I remember when Groink was 270 and smooth and everyone was giving him shit years ago...well who's laughing now?  you guys remember Dave Tate? people on here called him a "Fat fuck" behind his back all the timeu lol.  Did you see him after working with Trop for 10 weeks :o?   Same with gh15 whats his deal with wanting to be lean all the time.

when you are lean you put on more muscle easily because nutriment partioning is better. That's a fact

Some people are fast runners that other no matter how much they train.

Some people learn things quicker than others no matter how hard some people try.

Some people are more creative than others.

Some people are just more muscular than others.

You are in perma bulker gym rat territory saying you look better than a guy who is stage ready, and then you talk shit to naturals, saying they are delusional lol, you look like you don't even do steroids! SHow me a natural who posts pics of himself TRYING TRYING TRYING to look bigger than he really is by popping out his shoulders! Only you do that. Why, because you look so good? No because you don't, you gotta create an illusion with a stupid pose. get the hell out of here with your fucking attitude lol

Please every fat guy says "oh I could diet if I wanted to, but I wanna be big." It takes dedication to get ripped and I dont mean shoving a bunch of clen down your throat. Actually eating eggs, tuna, chicken for days on end. Its real hard to develop muscle, shoving food down your trap every day and spiking yourself with hormones. The guy's who have never had a crisp ripped six-pack are the one's who say anyone can get one.

both ripped and huge have to do with drugs, I mean if you have the drugs. You know what I am doing to get ripped? Half a pill of brokain 3 times a day, I skip lunch, I do 45 minutes on the stationary bike. WHy? All I have now is ephedrine, so I gotta work hard, but when I get my hands on chemicals it's gonna be a matter of injecting in my ass cheek and going to the gym and doing what I've always loved to do.

I admitted I was delusional about that.

Man I do not know what happened to you but you appear to have very gotten bitter and angry recently. I do not know the natural limits for people. Only thing I know is my own limits and capabilities and I know I am not the most gifted natural lifter in the world so why wouldn't there be people bigger/stronger than me.

Lots of people however on this board think that they are the absolute pinnacle of human genetics for lifting weights. The human body is an amazing thing and the natural variances that occur withing the species is insane. There are Giants nearly 9' tall and midgets barely over 2' tall. There are tribes of 4'6 pygmies and tribes of 6'6 males all on the same land mass.

Not everyone is destined to look exactly the same. At similar heights Muhammad Ali and Arnold were about 15lbs apart in weight yet think how different they looked man.

Lots of people take gear and do not turn into teh supermen they think they will and become bitter. Changes are you are either NOT the amazing physical specimen you believe you are and have been told or the stuff you are taking is watered down - A drug dealer sold you it after all remember. Probaly both.

When did I say "big and fat" you fucking retard. Fat does not mean muscle. And if being "huge and fat" (huge being muscle) then why don't you go do it?

we talk about 'leanness' or more accurately, 'lean weight' because it helps measure what kind of gains you really made. i could eat pizza and mcdonalds all day, gain 20 pounds and talk about my 'gains' - but it would not be all muscle, not by a long shot. bulking up then leaning out to the same bodyfat, but being heavier than previous is what real gains are. its the basis of this natural limits discussion. example: 5'8"-165-6% "lol thats bullshit, im 5'8"-190" "whats your bodyfat" "15%" etc. etc.

Yes it was my goal back when I was young and delusional - I said I would 'strive' for that physique and I foolishly said "I'll come pretty damn close naturally" WRONG

However

I am a lean (ish) 260lbs with reasonable strength and decent shape naturally. There is no reason why someone my height and bodyfat could not be 270lbs naturally. I am NOT the most gifted natural at all.

If I recall you take steroids and GH therefore YOU are not in a position to advise what a natural can or cannot do either. (No offence Stavios)

Honest mistake by Ursus. :P :) i dont know what the limits are but i would prefer to approach it from a perspective of there being a pretty high ceiling.

From personal experience i have seen huge variables in regards to most things in life and i dont think bodybuilding is greatly different to that. As i said before there are weight ceilings but as to the visual appearance of that weight, it going to vary hugely. Think of how different a pro looks when waterlogged compared to when dried out. Something so small makes a huge difference visually.

i won't argue your natural status because it doesn't matter. When in real life ( and i have been training for a few years now) i will see someone who is bigger than me at the same bodyfat while being natural, then i'll believe it. It won't happen by the way

Everyone makes mistakes man.  Don't let them get to you

I would rather believe anything is possible than to set such narrow minded limits like most of the people here do.  The first step of achieving anything in this life is believing it is achievable.  Those who don't believe will never even try.  Most of the people on here think that a natural can't achieve anything, therefore they give up and turn to drugs as the answer.  When drugs don't work, its genetics, and so on. 

Yes, but come one now no one in his right mine would believe this guy is natural.

not me.
not you.
not a 13 years old kid who knows nothing about training.
not a 60 years old ironager

everybody would say it's impossible to look like this without drug.

Yo have a good structure but given your time on hormones you do seem to have trouble holding lean muscle. I have seen natty's who carry a lot of muscle, not 260lb no lol but a lot of muscle with stand out bodyparts. I sit between you and Ursus with my view points tbh. There are definate limits size wise as a natty. But overall look and build is dictated by genetics of which there is a wide variance. That guy you posted would carry about a stone extra muscle upperbody if he were gifted, or at least look like he did.

I am honest about what i use and you seem to have a problem with that but it's funny you think i have shit genetic and in real life people who actually know something about bodybuilding tell me.otherwise (and they know what i take)

I have never said you have shit genetics. I think you have a very good physique.

Was I silly to make a claim like I did back in 08? Indeed.

Am I silly to think that I will not add another 10lbs to my frame at the same bodyfat in the next 15 years? Nope. You forget I am over 6'3 and not overly lean.

I am not anti-steroids but rather pro-natural. I have not and will not take steroids or pro-hormones. Am I claiming top natural status? Nope. Far from it honestly I have no idea what I would look like at 5% and the amount of weight I would lose etc

Being delusional is only kidding yourself. Being bitter is only hurting yourself.

Great post and good , positive attitude.
A lot of these getbiggers operate on this mantra:
1. Nobody can get very big and strong without a lot of drugs.
2. Anyone claiming natural status who is bigger then me is a liar.

See folks, the reality that you are just avergae is a tough pill to swollow.
Far better to dream about getting the magic potion from the wise wizzard hahaha.

5'10, about 180 lbs

lean but not that lean

impressive physique in the gym for the average gym members, women compliment him on his size
other dude compliment him on his ability to get compliments from women  ;D

nobody says he is huge, everybody says he is in good shape and people who start working out have him as a goal

most importantly, Stavios doesn't call bullshit when he tells me he takes nothing but proteins and creatine


that = natural physique

put that in your blunt and smoke it

Holy shit, spot on. This is exactly what it was for me.

here's a funny story.  when i was 18 i moved to Calgary from the small town i grew up in where i trained in my parents basement (nothing unusual for a getbigger!!). i joined Golds Gym and had been training since i was 12 with the goal of being a bodybuilder. so i'm working out there for a couple weeks and the trainer comes up and talks to me. he says i have a good physique. then he says 'you're natural arent' you?'  my naive reply was ' fuk that, i trained my ass off to look like this!!!'

i thought natural meant that i looked like that without ever working out, didn't know people used steroids, lol. the guy looked at me like i was a moron!!  this was 1983

take 20 pounds of fat away so you can be a deceant 10%bf and yeah perhaps that would be a good natural physique. Because it's that's not exactly "impressive"

its the pose,, its the way pic taken,, it is many things you cant see through picture,, fella is in shape,, he is not 6% but he is in shape and toned ,, he is not small either ,, average 180lb 10%  ,, he is soft and lack density due to lack of hormones in system,, he also lack muscular development due to lack of hormones and time on hormones,, he is just natural 10% that would be considered athletic frat physiqe by any americano whore,, thats what they would go out with and consider in shape...and it is in shape just not bodybuild level ,, lack thickness,, lack other things due to not being on syntetic hormones

We don't have to compare him to bodybuilding standards, lets compare him to other gymrats that train hard for themselves.

He has muscle and he is in shape and good size. But as far as him being "impressive" or a chick magnet because of his physical attributes, the ass kissing goes too far :P ! He definetely is not 10%, man, you know better than that! More like 15%.

didnt say he was whore magnet,, most female go for face have nothing to do with body ,, what i do say is....he is not even close to 15%,, he is much MUCH less,, you dont have the belly button with this elasticity and you dotn have the vein into the arm ....and you dont have the pecs all lined in a stage before getting squary-round...actualy they are already into the squary zone only he is soft... you dont have all that when you are 15% ,, this is 10% the fella according to pic is 10% if i had to truly say what i think about his bodyfat ...he is less,, he is at 8-9% only soft ..his abdominals also start showing tunnels,, they are wet tunnels due to WATER RETENTION AND FAT,, but it sits right on him it is not a lot of fat it is 8-9% with some estrogenic component due to him being natural and having no syntetic hormone in system

then again most fellas dont know their bodybuild so they will throw somethign like 10-13% at the poor fella and make him diet himself into nowhereless,, he need go on hormones if want to advance ,,

no,, a fella liek this need

tren ace 100mg every day or 2
testosterona propioneta 50mg every 2-3 days
masteron for anti estrogen aspect 50mg every 2 day

and thats it! ,, that will put fella like him in a 190lb 6% of chizeled mother fuckin fitness model level ,, he will look like bodybuild ....local bodybuild but a good good good local bodybuild ,,

no need for 2 gram testosterona if you have no gh in blood,, you need gh and preferably in the 15+ iu for 2 gram testosterona in blood,,5iu gh you can do well with 1 gram testosterona but also it better be LEGIT GH!

not always friend,, it is depending on how much water you hold and where!,, it really depend on this factor,, the ripped look has to do with skin and water under the skin inbetween skin and muscle,, this fella is NATURAL ,, he is truly a natural i dont know maybe used some halodrol but really not injects and long term hormonal usage,, he is soft and pretty much sit at 8-9% only soft,, he is not posing he just stand there take picture probably picture of him was stolen with out him knowing lol,, just by looking in the abdominals and pecs you can tell fella is in the sub 10% ,, he is not 6% ....but he is in the sub 10% ,, you can see the skin wrap itself around muscle,, in a softtttt way but it is there,, the muscle is there ,, he is very similar to simlly huge from this boarding,, simply huge from this boarding when not fat....lol is 8-9% on regular basis and this is very similar to him ,, both physiqe on hormons for prolonged duration are national level physiqes...like any other physiqes who are seriuous about bodybuild and go on hormones and do it consistantly

He has some visible abs in that photo.  no bottom abs at all.  i would call that 10-12%.  If you think that is 6-7% YOU are nuts.  I can understand since you've probably never been sub 20% in your life that you have no concept of what it is to be 6-7%.

I could see that. No way I was 6% there. That picture was from this summer.. I'm now trying to lean out even more and hit my abs a little bit harder. It's working pretty well so far and I'm starting to see a vein or two on my lower abs.

6-7% lol?  He looks 10+ % in that pic.  Doesn't look fat, but definitely not 6-7.  10-12% is more realistic. 

wrong,, he is flat,, flat due to many reasons,, look in the belly button flat belly buttom ,, it doesnt mean directly alot becaus eosme fellas skin is not elastic as others,, but over all with this belly buttom flatness and with whats going on under the belly button and over all hardnes drynes and density ....with his low muscle mass  which is the only thing that make you NOT being able to see he is 6-7% ....he is at around 7% really depends on the day ,, this fella is 7% in a bad day ,,notice the shape of pecstorials you have the line under visible and also not much water which even in the eyes of the none profesional it will give a single digit number so the worst fellas will put him is 8-9% but he is not he is 6-7% ,, he is very lean fella leaner than you ,,this is one picture too and it is the dumb yellow light that all of you use for god knows why since if there is muscle ther eis muscle if there is defitiniion there is defition ,,

generaly speaking ,, this is what 6-7% look like on fella thta lack thickness,, take groink and you will see what 7-8% look like on fella with thickness,, you fgrom las pictures i seen was 8-9% then i also see you before 6% when you say you are 8-9% ,,common mistakes of water and fat miscalculations ,,

he is 7% if im mean to him and as you all knwo i dotn liek being mean : )

Here are some more pictures.. first one is from spring I think and the second one is around July.. a couple of months apart. I think the weight is the same in both pictures.

The little pouch on my lower belly in the first pic was most likely not fat but rather an inability of me to flex my abs properly.. I never worked my abs up until like a month ago lol. That pouch is now gone and I only lost at most 1-2kg since that pic.

And again, brutal flower shorts  ;D

Btw I'm around 88-90 kg at 190 cm. Roughly 200lbs and 6'2.

I wasn't knocking how you looked btw.  Good taper in the back pic.  You look pretty lean in all the pics you posted.

I still stand by my assessment of around 10%.  6% is getting close to competition shape, and I dont think those pics are anywhere near that.  Your body requires 3% just to survive.  And most people who compete dont have shredded glutes which is probably at around 4%.  So people competing are probably around 5-6% bodyfat. 


The more muscle you carry the tighter the skin around the muscle, also water makes a big visual difference.
