Title: Magnus Samuelsson at 52
Post by: Gym-Rat on July 31, 2022, 02:33:46 AM
Still in great shape.  6' 7". (Was 340 lbs when in prime, Im sure he's well below that these days).

Shooting a movie w/ Frank Gillo. Good to see some WSM (from his day) making some money.
Zero money in PL and WSM from his day. (late 90's, early 2K's).

I'm guessing TRT. (doesnt compare to "cycles").

Hes probably down 70 or more pounds. Carried a ton of muscle in his day.

Thats not a physique that screams "tons of gear" like Pro Open BB's.

I hope he was smart with money and business like Andrew Tate who went from kickboxing to managing a harem of cam girls!  :D

I carry a similar amount of lean tissue (proportionally) on 50mg test cyp every 3 days. Does not take a ton of gear to hold that amount of muscle with good training, and I would be willing to bet he has a hell of a lot better genetics than I do.

I also do 1 month off T twice a year.

As a tree trimmer you probably have great shoulders and lats. Can’t wait to see your pics.

Agreed .. also huge without being stupidly huge, powerful looking, and lean without being stupidly lean

No he has really down sized and put on some true muscle mass with his heavy lifting. He can probably hold that with 500 mg. He was huge for a long time, not like a BB.

Looks great.

So you stay that lean year-round? And if so, do you find that pretty manageable? I myself am looking for a body fat percentage to get to that I can stay at year-round. I'm thinking 15-16%, but if I can shave a couple of points off that, I'd be very happy.

I've seen that movie before  ;):

In Black Lotus, Verhoeven stars as special forces officer Matteo Donner, a man struggling to deal with the death of his best friend and closest confidant. Riddled with guilt, Donner blames himself for his friend’s passing as the soldier died on a mission the duo were sent on. Things go from bad to worse when Donner discovers that his friend’s daughter has been kidnapped, sending the highly trained military man on what many would consider to be a suicide mission. Regardless of his odds, Donner rushes back to Amsterdam in hopes of saving the girl. It’s there that he’ll face off against a never-ending barrage of opponents, hoping to destroy him.

I stay this way year round yes. I do not diet at all. I train in a hybrid method mixing elements of Jones, Yates, and the old POF theories. 3 day split training each group to failure, making increases each month in either weight, reps, or shortening rest periods. I eat healthy but do not count calories or closely track macros. I try to out train my appetite.

My point was Magnus could maintain that amount of muscle on well less than a gram or even 500mg of test. I do 500 mg per month and actually make small gains. Seven years ago when I started trt my first Dr put me on 200/wk. I had trouble with E levels and had to take arimidex to control. I dialed the dose back as I learned more on my own and doing 50 every three days my E stays around 13-15 and on shots my T will actually spike well above 1000 post shot. I hold less water as well.

I believe many guys could and would maintain a lot of muscle on lower doses of T but there is a psychological dependence as well as assumption of need to stick with a higher dose.
