6'0 215lbs (morning weigh in) at 14.6% with visible abs here, life time natty.

Havent tracked my diet in years. Only started following a program in last 6 months. Meaning im far from my limit. That being said ive trained for 13 years on and off and always busted my balls in the gym. Good sleep, good food, low stress, etc.

Most guys here have piss poor genetics or are just lazy af. You can half ass it twice a week for 2-3 years then claim thats your limit.

He is lanky as fawk and that isnt helping him aesthetically at all but i agree that he is at his peak.

Anyone who has been to a few OCB shows knows. The hard core natural guys are twinky. I mean the dudes that actually take pride in being natural and dont use ant PH, sarms or anything. They are the minority these days.

This was just an example that you don't need to do crazy pro-bodybuilding dosages, you can do things low- moderately, feel awesome and have your health in check and, still look 100 times better than average natty. Actually many specifically older guys on TRT are a lot healthier then guys who are not because they always do check up, on they blood panels and etc.

Shredded natties look disappointing in pictures or video but in person they seem much bigger.

can confirm. I have a buddy who is absolutely anal about eating right and counting every single calorie he puts into his mouth and hits the gym every day without fail. He probably has severe body image issues but he looks almost exactly like this year round.

he's never done anything unhealthy as far as I can tell. doesn't even drink except the occasional tequila neat.

Good post OP, came in expecting delusional miscers in denial but there are surprisingly few who are still cucked by fake natties.

I knew a dude did a gram a week of zzyz creatine for a natty contest to be 160ish onstage

This is what I call the "low dose cope". It's just a way to rationalize drug use. No different than the guy who rationalizes his addiction to alcohol or any other drug because it hasn't had any serious (read noticeable to him/her) effects on their life. In fact they will say that it has had nothing but positive effects on their life. Exactly what you just did.

"Oh but these guys were using massive doses of a cocktail of drugs" you'll say.

The fact is nobody knows how their body, especially their heart will be effected by this stuff.

Some people smoke their whole life and live until 90 and some quit smoking in their 20s and die from lung cancer in their 50s, you just never know. Point being that most guys who take gear do understand the risks, but decide that the risks are outweighed by the positives, at least for themselves. Plenty of logical reasons to stay natty, just like there are plenty of reasons to not drink alcohol, but people do anyway, living as long as possible is not necessarily a primary concern for everyone.

You do realize Matarazzo died because of many things. Creatine, recreational drugs, being 300+ pounds, eating absurd amounts of red meat, soda.

You can’t attribute it all to cell tech.

I admire his commitment but honestly I don't love the super lean striated year round look like this guy and Athlean X have.

I'd rather have a physique like Jeff Nippard or Alphadestiny. Granted they are midgets and can pack on more mass, but they are lean enough but still have lots of muscle and look big in T shirts.

All those guys thought it was worth it. Until they were on their death beds dying at an unnaturally young age. Then they probably would have given it all back just to have a few more years with their families, friends, hobbies etc..

Yeah but everybody knows (should know) that our natural test levels are far, far below our fathers let alone grandfathers and so on.

Whats cucked is ****gets thinking the way we feel, work and deal with **** is natural. Its not, even guys on trt are pussies compared to their grandfather. Even if your grandfather was a puss we are way more of a puss than our previous gens.

Not that its totally our fault with all the garbage we are forced to buy (whole foods for average wage guys). Its all ****.

That whole boomer term “soy boy” actually means something. Even tho i dont think they know that. Lol
