It's not easy to cut as a natural. When you have 50lbs of fat to shed like mike you're going to lose a lot of muscle with it, especially when you dont have gear to help it stick.
Right on mike. with time and hard work you will catch up with the bigger naturals on the board.

I know, i was just giving him crap.
Mike's hardly a "natural"; he might be cutting naturally, but i think that's what you're trying to say anyways.
I've never lost (or gained) as much weight as him, the most i've ever had to lose was 25ish lbs at a time, and that's just to be "comfortable" , from going to mid 220's to low 200's/mid 90's.
he's doing it on a grander scale in less time, so i give him credit for that. i'm just waiting to see what he's gonna turn out come showtime.
