James,
Assuming that you are in fact a legitimate person (half the people ripping on you are using gimmick accounts), then I commend you on your efforts. As you claim to be a natural trainer, then perhaps you would be better off on the Natural Board (I'm a moderator over there and this type of attack by anonymous wanna-be's is not allowed there).
But just for the record... the pecking order among bodybuilders is based on the "who's body would you prefer to have yourself". In that regard I can only compare you to those who have posted pics.
But rest assured, you have already surpassed the following GetBig regulars who like to consider themselves serious bodybuilders:
-True Adonis:
You have a better structure and better muscle bellies than Adam, and while your physique could mature quite nicely with proper training, Adam will always be a forceps-birthed troll
-Squadfather:
SF has you beat on front delts, but otherwise appears to be nothing more than a delusional former weightlifter/highschool-jock who confuses his alcohol induced edema with muscle mass
-Vince G
While Vince might well match you for development; you have him on condition
-Mike Arvilla
When Mike is clean and dieted down to a similar bf % to what you displayed here he probably matches (or possibly surpasses) your muscle mass, however you eke ahead on better proportion (and no gyno). Neither of you have legs though.
-Kiwiol
At 220 lbs lean Kiwiol has one of the best "natural" physiques I've ever seen, but by his own admission when he recently took a month of from his "natural" training regime... he "naturally" shrank down to 165 soft pounds. Losing 55 lbs of muscle in four weeks, muscle that his "natural" testosterone level had been able to support till that time.
This is something that affects all "natural" trainees, I myself lost nearly ten pounds of muscle and almost 20% of my strength on the basic lifts when I took a year off from training.
So in conclusion James, you are better than at least 4 GetBiggers and on a par with one competitor (Mike Arvilla).
By besting both Squadfather and True Adonis you can claim bragging rights over at least six of the usernames running you down in this thread.
Good work, a 16" arm on a natural is very good indeed.
The Luke
Thank you so much The Luke.
Yes, I kind of figured that the people ripping me are like 3 different entities sharing 10 accounts.
You summarized what's happening here quite nicely.
I'll definitely start posting on your forum.
