Weight: Natural V. Gear

[DZLS]

i'm down to about 214 now... getting nearer to my goal of 10% BF by the end of 2005...

 

[noltonr]

210 gear

 

[nelmsjer]

205 natural

 

[Guinness5.0]

Before I ever touched gear I hit 230. I've been as heavy as 262 while on. I can easily stay above 250 while natty (was at 252 ~10 months after cycle).

Don't like the poll. Slanted.

A lot of people do 2-3 cycles per year with months off in between.

So - someone who has done a cycle b-4, but has been clean for several months would vote how??

Technically that person would be natural at the moment.

To compete in naturals in England, NPA natural for life
or BNBF clean for 10 years

you need to have something in regards to bodyfat %, alot of natties i know are fatasses and then you have a guy on gear at the same weight who is 8%...

I've never touched ANY kind of gear and I am 270 lbs. @ 21% BF. (I'm also 6'5)

I don't know much at all about gear so I have a quick question:
Is a person's maximum size/strength determined by genetics alone? Does gear only allow a person to reach their peak faster? Does it not actually increase their peak?

Basically my question boils down to this for me personally: If I started taking gear tomorrow and got to my maximum size/strength in 5 years, is that same maximum of size/strength still attainable without gear? (although if it is it would take much longer, of course)

Thanks a bunch for any info!
