    I am natural when I dieted down to the point I had good abs.... I looked like a skinny little kid and flatter than a pancake.... most nattys look so skinny on stage... only a few with great genetics can pull it off..... nattys imo look best between 7-10% full..... it is very hard either skinny and ripped or full and a bit chubby for nattys... like i said unless you have great genes like JROD......

    This definitely could be accurate for some people but it will be also be dependent on their age, training, diet and activity levels. When I was in my early 20's, I worked my butt off to get from 170 to 200 pounds. Once I hit about 26-28 years old, my metabolism noticeably changed along with my strength and size. Now it's very difficult to get under 200 pounds. At this stage in my life (35 years old, training for over 15), I'd be thrilled to gain 2 pounds for my next show. Provided I make some improvement each time, I'm happy.

    For anyone thinking that by accepting this is "mentally stopping" your progress, perhaps you're not as close to your maximum potential and in time your gains will slow too. Provided a person is not sabotaging or slacking off on diet, training or any other recovery aspect of bodybuilding, having realistic expectations won't stop or slow growth but instead will provide an understanding when not doing as well as the magazines, forum experts and others may lead to believe.

    Bodybuilding is more a marathon than a sprint.

    ...Unless you're good enough to compete in the open shows. I'm not saying I'm a great bodybuilder but I have competed in an open show and taken 2nd out of 12 light heavyweights. I've done natural shows the last couple years but I have thought about doing another open show to try and win my class.
