I'm 5'7'' 160 lbs of ripped muscle, Franco Columbu was 5'5'' and 180 lbs at the 1975 Mr Olympia, so to say 160 lbs of pure muscle at 5'7'' is laughable as a natty is a joke, when Franco was looking like a monster at a very similar height and weight, and yes Franco was on dat dere bicycle

I only take issue with it when they try to sell useless products that clearly did not give them those gainz they are using as their credentials

but I do wonder when I see guys are in that iffy middle ground between either having good genetics or just using gear

props to the mods for not shutting this down tho, we all know this is the elephant in the room and there should at least be one thread where we can talk about our feels within some bounds.

On the flip side you have guys who have trained hard for years that start and are incredibly underwhelmed with the results

You can spend hours on end each week obsessing over your optimal workout plan that puts on the optimal amount of strength/size. For an entire lifetime. But to what end? The guy that goes enhanced can achieve their goals in a 1/4 of the time if not faster. You can literally spend 30 years chasing a dream/goal and never achieve it as a natty. Whereas with the same hard work, dedication and a little supplementation you achieve that goal in 3-5 years and easily maintain it for the following 25 years.





At the end of the day its a personal choice. Some people choose to achieve their goal and life the life they want and are willing to do what's necessary to do so. Other's are willing to grind for years on end to never realize their full potential or achieve their goals. If the process is what you love and the outcome isn't as important then staying natty just makes more sense.



I won't even get into genetic or other limiting factors. Life isn't fair. Some guys can just barely touch weights and eat whatever and have a better physique/strength level then guys that grind for 10+ years.
on spread, everything here is 100% truth, and as anyone that doesn't lie to themselves can tell you the flexibility it provides with diet makes it such a quality of life improvement for people that care what they look like it's beyond comprehension. Which is why a certain flavor is so abused especially by older guys

But it doesn't mean we cannot enjoy the hobby.
You're in the minority whether you believe that or not, i have had guys who have lifted for years talk about competing but are gonna stay natural... Not even joking i've heardtwodifferent individuals say they want to stay natty and make it to ifbb classic status, i still have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact there are at least 2 people out there that think that's possible. I've also been asked by one person if (and i swear on my fcking life) Ronnie Coleman was natural. Let that one sink in for a second

I hope I'm reading your message wrong. .

Lets just blow past your assumption that you at 160 pounds, is at the same body-fat levels as Frankie at 180 pounds (When in reality, if you were to hit competition level leanness, you'd be closer to 145 lbs) You are then stating that 20 pounds of pure lean muscle, on a 5'5"-5'7" frame, isn't a huge difference?

Yes I'm as ripped, if not more ripped than Franco, if you don't believe me look at my stats, 5'7'' 160 lbs 320 lb bench press, 480 lb squat and 385 lb deadlift, at my age (42) and body weight you know I'm all muscle and no fat, oh, and all this being truly 100% natty (you mad?)

So I am legit impressed mods are even allowing such a thread to exist without it being shut down and people banned at the moment. I can only assume since its mostly a civil discussion is why its still open... honestly $hitty trolls like you will end up fkng a good thing up... but carry on.

You had me believing that you believed what you were saying for a while man, but you over-reached and now it's obvious you're a troll. Gotddang, well played. Tempted to rep (srs)

160 lbs in your 40s?? I shudder to think what you weighed in your 20s.

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

He laid the groundwork earlier saying his deadlift was lacking.

I always prefer to troll by asking people if you're under 6'0" and under 200 lbs, are you really even a man? Especially with this Armies fella, how many boys in high school are over 57"' and 160 lbs.

When I worked out with him when he was off he couldn’t even finish the workouts sometimes. He’s back on again but haven’t trained with him in a while due to conflicting schedules.
thats one of the reasons i have not hump on the train.
