Weight: Natural V. Gear

[rbtrout]

If natural includes using PH's, then I'm natural. If not, then no. I've gone from 180 to 220.

i have always considered anyone who has ever injected or swallowed some type of steroid to lose "natural" status for the remainder of their time in the iron game. the technicality of "i'm currently not on right now" doesn't really make any sense. ok so you are not currently on, however look at the gains you have made in the past from gear. it will still outpace a natural guy. it's somewhat insulting to someone who has never juiced to hear a guy consider himself to be in the same class as you simply because he hasn't done gear in a few months.

I disagree with that, I came out of my 1st cycle weighing 275 and benching 365 for 5 reps on my fifth set for example, then about 4 months later (after my last shot) I ran into some problems with life and stuff like that, so when all of that "life stuff" was over it had been 8 months since I had juiced and to say the least that last 4 months of the 8 had taken a toll, I was down to 245 and I maxed 315 for 3 on a good day when I finnally got back to the gym.

So once I had my life back on a normal level again I decided to get back into lifting this was about 10 months after my last shot and I felt that everything I gained was all lost so I considered myself natural again and I was going to start all over so 5 months later I weighed 255 and benched 365 for 4 on my top set, now call it what you may but I still think that when I hit those numbers I did it naturally and I do see what your saying but I still have to disagree with you.

I am 200-215 natural(fluctuates constantly) but I am going to try a cycle to see what happens. Also being 6'5" that isn't very big.

205 today, natural ....
Obviously, height to weight ratio is important.

I would expect that, all things being equal, the person using steriods would be larger and heavier.
