Not believing that one can gain past one's natural potential, FACT OR MYTH?
I was reading a very good post by realgains that informed people how to keep gains made with AS. I found the post very informative and helpful, however, it brought up a question. He stated this: "I would like to stress that I and my endochrinologist do not believe one can keep gains above ones natural max, or that level of muscular developement that can be held to without steroids" He also said that the average natural potential of a man is around 195 lean with a bench of 275-300. I do understand that this is average and in no means reflects every individuals natural potential.
I was just wondering how many of you believe this. It seems to me that one will make gains past their natural potential with AS and that with proper pct, etc one can keep about 75% of their gains (that even may be a little conservative). So according to realgains if any of that gain is past my potential then i will lose what i gained until i get to my natural potential. If that is the case, then it seems that one can only continue to gain and stay above one's natural potential with AS, but wouldnt that mean that we would have to continue to take AS for as long as we want to be huge and keep gains above our natural potential. From my experience, people do lose some gains after a cycle but eventually keep most of it and continue to gain slowly natural once again. It may be the case that these people have yet to reach their natural level, but these guys are like 225-240 lean. What do you think?
