Out of sheer curiosity,

Is it possible through years of hard work to reach muscular 220 pounds NATURALLY? And have low bodyfat?

Or is it beyond all dreams for 5'8 mesomorph?


Reply please! I just want to know if it is a good long term goal to strive for. (I weight about 180 pounds now)
 
MOST DEFINATELY,IF YOU STAY FOCUSED TRAIN HARD AND STAY ON A GOOD DIET. YOUR GENETIC POTENTIAL THOUGH WILL ONLY TAKE YOU SO FAR. 40 POUNDS OF SHEER MUSCLE, I CAN'T ANSWER HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE YOU...

------------------
TRAIN HARD OR DON'T TRAIN AT ALL!!!!!!!
 
A lot depends on you. There's no doubt you could reach 220 pounds, but when people say it's not maintainable they mean that their strength begins to plateau, they can't drop bodyfat without losing lots of muscle, and they can't gain anymore without putting on lots of fat.

What are the other folks in your family like? My grandfather on my mother's side was a HUGE man when he was younger; around 6'4", 260 pounds, and had very little fat. (Good german stock, no juice in him). Problem is, by father's side of the family is a lot more endomorphic; my dad's father is also a big man, but not what you could call "ripped" by any means. I'd guess my potential would lie around 220-230 at my height.... But like I said, there's no way of knowing for sure until you get there.

Just do the work man. Don't question whether or not it is possible. What if someone on this board says it's not possible...then what??! Do you give up on what you want...I hope not.

Good Luck...concieve, beleive, achieve!!

My family is full of extremes. My momthers borther is extreme Ectomorph. My mother is extreme endomorph. My father is Mesomorph 6'
tall. His muscles are pretty big considering all he eats is fast food and no breakfast.

So I am mesomorph. I am not ecto nor endo.
By personality I am 6.9/7 meso 4/7 ecto 3/7 endo.


My father is 187 pounds, pretty lean.

Thanx for repliyinh!

I saw Priest guest pose at a local show here 2 weeks ago. He was way out of contest shape. His glutes and legs look very dumpy, soft, and thick in the offseason. He looks great in the magazines cuz he's always been cutting but he looks pretty weird when he gets up around 260 lbs. Personally I wouldn't want to look like that.

Possible: Damn right it is
Probable: Depends on genetics, diet, lifting, ect.
Desirable: Not for me and my goals, but if thats what you want go for it.


I'm about 5'9" and am looking to only hit 5"10-6'0" if I'm lucky and personally want to hit 190-200 even at 7-8% body fat.

5'7"-5'8" 220@8% is just borderlining big, not in any way fat LOL. maybe your on the wrong board cause most here would like to be HUGE.
 
Exactly

I havent got a clue what weight I want to be

I dont think I will be satisfied with any weight (cut of course)!!

Just keep training hard and growing, thats half the battle

Mental attitude is the key to everything
 
It all depends on your bone structure. I easily weigh 215lbs at 9% fat. I could go up to 230 maybe a tad more and still carry it well.

But I am 6ft tall and big boned.

If your 6ft and very brittle frame 180lbs would look amazing on you. But for me if I was that low in weight Id look fucked!

man, don't get caught up in the size thing. look in the may issue of musclemag and read the editorial first rep(Dont't Get Eaten By The Bulk Monster). i was at the same show as GK, and Preist was huge, but damn, it was out of hand. yeah, you can weigh 220, i think anyone can. but go for symmetrical perfection, not sheer silly mass.

Yeh. But in order to have symmetry, you should have some mass. 220 is not over the top...

300, yeah.... but not 220. Also is there an online version of that article?

220 @ 5'8" is pretty large for a natural BB.
I'm sure it's attainable, depending on your genetics....and how much food/supplements/time you can devote to this. I really don't see any natural being able to put on much more than 10-15 pounds year though. So you're looking at about 4 tough years minimum to get there.

Good Luck!!!!
 
my brother is living proof. he is 215lbs 20/m. never used AAS at first he was slitly fat, then he started a small workout plan, now he is looking thick as chyna, lol, no he looks real good
 
Just wanted to let you guys know that you can get up to 220 lbs. naturally. I was 179 lbs at 6 % bodyfat and went all the way up to 226 lbs. in 4 months after I quit smoking cigarettes,.........however even though i was filling up extra large t's and was strong as an ox, my bodyfat was 14% .And when it was time for summer it was a hellish journey to switch gears ,start dieting, and hittin' cardio. But the end result was me at 198lbs. at 6%. It would've been better If I just ate clean and added the lean weight instead of treacherous dieting for 20 weeks. Anyway here is a pic of me at 226 and sorry i had to crop out the abs but it's only because i didn't have any, in fact I think I ate seven 69 cent bugers at Mickey D's before the pic.:fro: :fro:
 
I weighed 275 before I ever touched anything...it is possible.

I'm 5'5 and I hope to reach 200lbs very soon. Currently I am around 182-185 @13%depending on the day (morning weight). I am completely natural still, and I want to do it by the time I am 17 (definetely though before I turn 18). I just turned 16 , and I just NEED to see the 200's on the scale. Far fetched goal, but I hope to see those numbers naturally with nothing but food mrps and whey (not even creatine, it's illegal here lmao)
 
It all depends on a proper diet, the right supplements, proper rest and a kick-ass training program. Stick to the basics and eventually you will achieve your goal.
 
Last year I got up to 230lbs. at 5'11" natural and was pretty strong too. I was going to go all the way up to 250lbs then cut down to a lean 220 and compete in my first show, but being in the military can change your plans. So I'm bringing my body weight to around 195-200lbs because endurance takes priority in my lil world.
 
i think it is, if you keep on working at it...as long as you are consistent and if you try to gain 5-10 pounds of muscle per year you can do it in 5 years...just gotta be crazy with the diet...eat like 8 times per day 400g of protien and like 4000 cal in off season...
gl man

peace

(btw im 140 pounds 17yo 5 11 (real ectomorph) and 5-6%bf)
2 years ago i was 110 pounds

i wanna be at least 200

peace again
 
take a 2 litre bottle, (old soda bottle) fill with 500grams of protein, drink over the course of the day, PLUS all your meals, and if you can keep from throwing up Or shooting yourself, you can gain the muscle
