Thread: What can I achieve?

Here's the deal.
I began training when I was 16 because I wanted to look like Arnold. After two years of minimal gains, I quit.

Why?

Because I spoke with the biggest guys in the gym (World Gym in Guadalajara, Mexico), and they all admitted to doing drugs at some point to bulk up. I was disappointed. A few years later, I read magazines where it seemed a given that all champion bodybuilders all took drugs. Even Arnold admitted it. I went back to martial arts.

Now, 7 years later. I'm 23.

The past month, I decided I didn't care. I wanted to achieve the best I could, without any juice.

Now I want to know - What's the best look I can expect as a natural bodybuilder? I seem to have an endomorph type of body. I'm 5'11(1.80cm), about 185 lbs(I think? 80kilograms). I still have kind of a spare tire, but I can practically see it going away.

I dieted, lost 15 pounds. I want to regain that, as muscle. What's the maximum weight I can achieve as a natural? 200 pounds maybe, in a year or two? What's your experience?

With a normal diet (5 meals a day, more protein than anything), I may add a protein shake, but no supplements(not even creatine).

Who are some good examples of natural bodybuilders? I've seen a few (like that bald guy... Don't remember his name, but he used to own a store and quit to pursue bodybuilding), and they look great, but even they use supplements.

And please, no questions about why I want to do this naturally. If you use juice, that's great, just don't try to force it on me. I understand I will NEVER look like a pro bodybuilder. That's ok. I just wanna have something to look forward to.

But I'll be honest, another reason I'm doing this is for de ladieez I want to have a nice body.

The gains come with time, and experience with both diet and training. If you really want it, you can't stop - persistence is what makes it pay off.
