Article about natural muscle potential. Thoughts?

[Tennisballz]

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?

TL:DR would rather sauce.

TL:DR, would rather suck a cock than suffer that huge page of shit.

So we have using steroids and sucking cock so far...par for the course I suppose

Saw TL;DR just below OP's post, didn't click on the link.

X 2 on the sauce 

[thegamechanger]

eventually we will find out our potential

max potential natural compared to max potential on the sauce is like trying is like seeing what your sports car can do in the quarter mile compared to having nitrous oxide in it,cant even compare

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.

What's it say for 6'1"? TL:DR for me to figure it out.

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?

[Chaan]

 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?
