Title: Article about natural muscle potential. Thoughts?
Post by: Tennisballz on December 18, 2014, 02:02:16 PM
Seems like a decent article.  Since I'm 5'9 myself I have the potential for about 190-200 lbs at 8-10% bodyfat naturally.  Thoughts on this?

It's a solid article, and the numbers are in the ballpark of all the other physique formulas that have been proposed over the years, give or take a few pounds.

it doesn't compare natural vs juiced.  It purely talks about how much muscle one can expect to carry at a bodyfat of 8-10% if they are natural.

I could live with that. I should probably stop permabulking.

it is a long article but worth reading sometime if you aren't busy.

The sticky wicket with the article is that the author is taking all those bodybuilders at their word that they were drug free. All of the ones listed were still in the steroid era(albeit for most, the very early part of that era), so I'd still say it is somewhat optimistic.

LOL! I just noticed that he's using "current" "Natural" BB winners to buttress his numbers. Doesn't this guy know that today's "naturals" are just clean for a month pre-contest?

 Thoughts on this?

-Bodyfat is miscalculated, those champions charted didn't go so high as 9%, in competition (I didn't read the full text though, maybe it means bulked)

-There were various substances to take during the first half of the 1900's, however we will never know who took what.

-This guy was 130 kilo at about 188 cm 16%bf

Who would want to be natural? That's like being straight edge after highschool. What exactly are you standing for by being natural?
