    I’m in my thirties, and have been training consistently for 19 years. I’m a natural lifter. Always have been. Likely always will be. I’m proud to be natural. And for what it’s worth, I’m almost always the strongest guy at every gym I go to or have ever gone to. And I live in Chicago, so it’s not like I am a big fish in a small pond. I’m tired of enhanced lifters’ physiques, programs, and workouts setting the bar / standards for everyone else. The aesthetics of my natural physique impress everyone (except for the man in the mirror sometimes). Stay natural brotatoes.

For me I like doing two burnouts for each muscle and I made some pretty serious gains over the course of spring(ish) through a summer. Hope that might help!

    I used to train enhanced with the goal of becoming pro, but have been natural for the past 8+ years as my career, family, and life became more of a priority. I now have a home gym and have gotten amazing results in muscle size, shape, and leanness all naturally. I'm honestly very impressed I could even look the way I do without being enhanced. The one thing I'll say about training natural is that I do get more sore and take longer to recover. Although training enhanced meant I had to push more weight and have much higher intensity, which could lead to injuries.
    The great thing about training naturally is the cost savings! At this point in my life I'm more concerned with stashing tons of money away for retirement (while still being in great shape) rather than spending tons of money on food and enhancements trying to be as big as possible. Something no one ever talks about is how people spend sooooo much money on bodybuilding when they will never become a professional anyways.

They look better over 40 then they did at any other time in they're entire lives usually, but call it HRT and suddenly it dosen't mean anything. It's a hugely perpetuated myth. being 40+ and having the test lvls of a 18 year old is not natural. I'm all for HRT but just be fuckin honest you're on some shit that's jackin you up.

    The most beautiful thing (and I'm less than 5 mins in) is these two guys sharing, being respectful & humble. Jeff is a great guy & John is the only man in the world who can politely beat you into submission. The humbleness of these 2 is worth the watch alone. It shows the true passion & compassion of training, not the lunks, gymrats & bro's that we're called out for. Jordan in NC

    @415Sterling 4 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Definitely can see both perspectives here, honestly though I think that the reason why people don't think they can achieve much naturally is because most people don't necessarily think that Natural bodybuilders(as in people like Eric Helms or Omarisuf) compared with most of their goals.
    It is a lot easier to look ripped than big without being fat, and that is doubly true for natural bodybuilders. On the other hand, everyone can look better, be stronger, and generally improve their body composition without any drugs at all, or supplements for that matter. Many natural powerlifters are extremely strong without any drugs whatsoever, the real marked difference is the hypertrophy over all other aspects, which is why juiced bodybuilders look much different from natural bodybuilders.

    • @MrGflan
      @MrGflan 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Rets Rational good points. I am only 152lbs and 5’8 and the leanest I’ve ever been. I am enjoying all the muscles popping through the skin just being lean. It’s exciting to me, that I don’t care if I ever have to bulk again. Maybe once I reach an elite level of lean, I will consider a lean bulk if that’s even possible, but the biggest advice I have for someone who feels defeated, is to get absolutely shredded and you feel more confident from the definition. I would rather have SOME muscle and very defined than walk around with a pot belly in an endless off season. Off season is sometimes a cop out for people who don’t want to take the time to dig dig dig!!

In the mean time I'll master the things that are within my grasp until they become second nature while continuing to implement what I learn.

    I think there's 2 main types of fitness people: let's call them the "all-in" guys and the "hobbyist" guys.
    The "all-in" guys are willing to get 5-6 meals a day, hire personal coaches, train 5 times a week, etc... and yes, they are probably willing to step into "enhanced" territory. They are or aspire to be fitness models/influencers, competitive bodybuilders and powerllifters, etc...
    The "hobbyist" guys are willing to train like 3 times a week, clean up their diet, spend reasonable money on supplements, and adopt overall healthy life habits. Most of them probably understand they have no business messing with PEDs.
    Then you have those guys not really fitting in one of the 2 main categories. I believe there is such a thing as "natural all-in" guys who do everything but the PEDs. These people happen to be some of the best, most knowledgeable and reliable fitness resources that the "hobbyists" should get their information from.
    And then you have the "cheaters" who are not willing to go "all-in" but want to look like they do. I think they are easy to spot and the only thing they can (sometimes) succeed at is flattering their own ego.
