No, I never have. Thought about it but never went. I think my test levels should be ok, nothing that would make me think otherwise.

Why do you say I have bad genetics? My parents were both very good athletes. My mom in her 40's had better biceps than a lot of men I've seen in the gym (just something I remember). I don't think I have bad genetics, obviously not among the best though.

The thread wasn't inteded as "how big can I get" just was curious what people thought was possible for the most gifted and dedicated.

Kai Greene said he was 230 at his highest in competition as a natural and he is only 5ft 8

What about a 5' 6.5" guy.... what would be your guesses as to genetic potential?

Not saying I buy into these 100% but it's interesting and seems somewhat accurate

Very interesting, thanks for sharing! Based on the numbers at 5'11'' with my fairly small bone structure my weight at 3%bf would be (at maximum) 181.2lbs. True LBM would be 175.8lbs. So from this information a realistic stage weight for myself would be ~185lbs.

I think I can definitely exceed that. I have small wrists (7'') so I think that may underestimate some values such as arms and total weight more than what actually occurs.

These are the maximum values it calculated for myself (I'm assuming they are at a single digit bf%):
Forearm: 13.8''
Bicep 17.2''
Thigh 26.1''
Calves 17.5''
Chest 48.5''
Neck 16.8''

For the sake of consistency we'll say they are 5' 11'' tall. Just write what you think without considering other responses.

When I say compete think overall winner (good conditioning).

Well im 6'2'' and im at 210 right now up from 180 a few months ago and from what im told if i tried really REALLY hard i could get up to 240 or so in another 2-3 years of total hard core training, but who knows.

I am 5'6" and drug free I have been 220, with drugs I plan on being 250. Granted I have to be able to workout again before that ever happens.

depending on how stocky they are, 200-240ish. Competition lean at 220ish. God I sound like a parrot. lol.

~D~

200 to 215 Max

show me what a real natural bodybuilder can achieve.most of the pic i see of said natural bodybuilder are looking not so natural to me annyone knows someone that is truely natural and lifting for some years to see what a couple years of natural trainning can achieve really
