I am 202 at 15 percent. I am looking pretty good. Looking to drop to 195 and see where I am at. I think 12 percent would look the best overall.

Will have to see how far my lifts fall though. I'll prob live the rest of my life at whatever bf let's me bench 315 or 250 5x5 at the least.

i don't care to argue about natty-ness. im no youtube wannabe and have no reason to lie.
just hoping to give some realistic expectations if you put in a decade+ of hard work, and have decent genetics, AND know how to work the angles and lighting - big factor lol

Fantastic physique, great job. I think this is pretty much the peak natty physique.

Do not agree/10.

Maybe if you're standing right next to them you'll notice that your fatceps are bigger than their arms, but at 5-10 feet, a lean natty is 100000x impressive than some cellteched bloatlord.

apparently being a natty means skipping back, shoulders and probably legs as well. and tbh his chest isnt even that great.


good physique, but to claim its any closer than 75% to the natty limit is as delusional as those who post obvious juice drinkers as the limit.

looked again at his pic, his wide midsection does NOT help him here, if he had a narrower waist, his upper body would look better

Small waist.... big shoulders.... perfectly shaped chest.... good arms.... defined six pack... great physique but doesn't look "natty" to me (no hate, I'm sure you still put in serious work). A natty physique usually still has a few weaknesses.

You look like a fitness model. Perfect proportions with good musculature. Unfortunately, those are usually tell tale signs of bike riding.

Im suspicious as well but whatever, may just be really good lighting and angles. No point arguing anyway because the amount of mental gymnastics some guys do to swear on their mothers lives they are natty is pretty mind blowing. Then when you call them out, the standard answer is "you're just boosting my ego because I really am 100% natty, you just don't understand what years of hard work and dedication can do". There are guys with great genetics for sure, but they are rare, so if it doesn't look natty, chances are it probably isnt.

I'd be very interested in seeing a picture of this poster from the front, relaxed. This is a good angle with good lighting.

Also, mirin.
thanks bro.
chest and arms have always been a strong suit of mine.
started lifting at an early age and did bench press, dips, and curls nonstop until i realized i had a lower body

thanks man - this is the single best picture i have of myself, in my peak conditioning with a photo filter
i look very different with 15lbs of extra weight, worse lighting, no filter, and not posing.
and i gotta mention my weakness is hidden by not showing my legs haha

i look like i do in that pic about .001% of the time.
good pump, angle, lighting, and posing does wonders.

ask and you will receive.
like i mentioned above that first pic is the single greatest pic of my physique i've taken. sitting at 181-183lbs lean.
i've gotten good at manipulating my side pose to make my arms look much bigger and waist much smaller.
this pic is me at almost 200lbs, no tan, no shave, no pose, no pump. taken a week or two ago to gauge my progress over this summer
