without the use of steroids? I mean do any pro body builders like the ones that look like walking Tbones not use gear? I was just wondering if 15 years of lifting and nutrition would get one that big or the natural limits of the human body are far below what these guys are at?
no....;)
Haha! No way. There have been a few pro's that have competed naturally and they all basically looked small or like shit.
You can get big for sure, but it's all about your definition of Huge, and also your genetic limitations.
with good genetics you can get pretty good, i have a friend in the gym that use to compete he got to state championships naturally. but that was also 10 years ago, and anything above that id say you have to use something. swolecat comes to mind, i dont know, im not saying that he does, he does a very good job about not talking about it. i think he has darn good genetics. and he knows what hes doing.
training is nothing compared to diet, if you have good genetics and you train and eat properly i think you can go far, but probally not to the level of todays pro bodybuilders.
this is it ,,, im still natty of 5 years now i just can’t seem to grow much more,, I lean out good but loose some size at the same time!!!! I think it is time to go to the dark side!!! deca only 20 weeks hahah JK :wg:Quote:

This is basically what iv done I bulked for like years at a time, iv never really been on a strict dietfor cuttingQuote:

ive been able to shed a few pounds and not lose muscle. personally IMO i think it depends on how you cut the weight. I never did cardio and got the fat off by simply adjustin my diet. as far as gettin huge like a pro never man even the smallest pro you couldnt get to naturally i have asked many competitive BBers at my gym and that i know they all say to jump on the sauce now but i dont know a dam thing about nothin and i think im pretty big naturally and for my age but for copetitions they say i should jump on the wagon now so i can blow up, but i wanna get as big as i can naturally(wich will be nowhere near pro size) then i wanna blow up.
spg u finally gonna go to the darkside??
i dont :wg:Quote:

Gear is a wonderful thing.

He's 37 now..with about 20 years of training behind him...
He held share of competitive blows...as a natural...but he persevered.
Now he's a pro...and his physique, the maturity of the muscle, the look of the muscle and skin is awesome.
Yes you can get huge naturally. It will take a long, long time...and your diet and training must be scientifically calibrated to facilitate maximum recovery...as failed recovery is the limiting factor in the training regimes of most natural atheletes.
Read some literature on Mike Mentzer's philosophy...Read some on DC training.
Read some parillo nutritional advice...
And apply it to your body...
Huge is then attainable.
