Lots of people have pathetic expectations of what can be achieved drug-free. Gaining 50 to 60 lbs of lean muscle naturally is possible, but it takes many years of hard, heavy and consistent training on the Big Five - deadlift, barbell row, front miitary press, bench press/dips and squats - that most guys are simply not willing to put. It is simply too much work over too long a time to be worth it in the minds of most guys. You can be huge naturally, but you can't look like a pro bodybuilder. Weighting 260 lbs with 3% bodyfat at a height of 5'10 is not possible because the body was not designed to maintain muscle while shrinking bodyfat simultaneously - when you starve, which is essentially what a diet is, your body canibalzes muscle before eveything else. However, a 5'10 man can weight up to 240 lbs naturally with average bodyfat after 8-10 years of heavy traiing on the Big Five. This is possible. It has been discovered that the cross-sectional area of a muscle is drectly proportional to it's strengh, and that the ability of a muscle to grow is inversely proportional to the volume of stress you impose on the muscle. The Big Five will stimulate strengh increases of a very large number of muscles while imposing little volume stress to the muscles. However, to stimulate a large number of muscle fibers you also need several reps, which explains why powerlifters are very strong but not very big - although much bigger than the average man. Increasing strengh in the 6 to 8 rep range on the Big Five slowly over years is the key to massive size naturally. There isn't a single member of this board who couldn't gain at least 30 lbs of mass in 2 years or a little longer by following what I just said.
