I'm wondering is there a limit to how big my muscles can get naturally.

Is there a genetic limit to how big I can get naturally.

I rep 265 on flat bench. My arms are 16" in diameter and my chest is 43" in diameter.

I have been working out since Sept. 2001 very religiously. I have tried many diets and many workouts as well as supplements. Nothing seems to change anything.

Increased calories change bodyweight.

Yes of course there is a limit to how big you can get naturally, otherwise steroids would have zero purpose in bodybuilding or powerlifting. We are human beings, not gods.

No one ever looks through past threads, that's why we have 50 repeats of Max bench and what not....
All the bandwidth wasted...i can't stand it.
