Gossip & Opinions / Re: Hormones and intense excercise builds muscle
« Last post by Thin Lizzy on Today at 07:22:26 AM »^This. A natural will gain on average 5-10 pounds a year for the first 3-4 years, then it plateaus. Some will gain more, some will gain less, but in the end it stops for everyone who isn't taking exogenous hormones. Pre 1940's bodybuilders are what can be attained naturally. Past that era chemical warfare began.
Most of us start in our teens so a lot of those gains are just from growing into your adult body . No way a natty who starts lifting in his 30s gains 10 pounds of muscle a year for three years.
