Hey Lui you keep saying 6'2 250 and all that but you don't have to be tall to have great genetics my friend look at Jay cutter and phill heath both are like 5'8 5'9 and so am I. I'm 17 5'8 210 15 % bf that's good who wants to be a tall skinny bitch seriously being short is better lift more weights fill out faster and have the illusion of looking bigger compared to a tall guy come at me
thank you! very informative. it had always been a dream of mine to bench press 315 lb and 225 lb for 10 reps, but as I'm getting older I'm realizing exactly why my friend who is a Judo competitor can bench 225x8 while weighing 160 and I can only do reps with 185 at 180 lb. I've been training for around 30 months now and my weights are settling in. I've always had pretty strong legs though which is great! :D
@luimarco I'm 5'6 160 lbs at 10% bf. Do you think its possible for me to be to be 180-185 naturally in about 10 yrs or so? Thats huge for my height. Check my vids to see my physique. I've only been working out about 2 yrs.
I'm a personal trainer, and I used to compete in natural bodybuilding, I love being NATURAL! And I won a handful of competitions by sticking to my genetic make up. I am me, I don't need enhancements.
Now, I moved on to Jiu Jitsu and MMA, my interests have changed, I look forward to my future with this sport.
But really, be true to yourselves guys, BE YOURSELF!
Watch ROCKY, see how a 5'10'' one buck sixty made it to the TOP OF THE WORLD, you are only as strong as you believe!
Good video. I wouldn't take anything away from "juicers" though. They put in insane amounts of work. It's not like steroids magically make you huge and ripped. Personally, I am natural, but I have only started lifting for about 3 months. I have realistic hopes for my body, but lifting is more recreational for me.
I have a question, I know that most people divide up their exercises to save on time at the gym, but whats the best way to do it? Ie.. Chest and tris, then what? How many days in between or is it ok to go back to back days? I have been working out for 3 months now and I am trying to figure out what is the most benificial way to do my workouts.Thanks Bro, I love the videos ( the ones i have seen so far)
that is so true i was 195lbs and i thought i was gonna 8% at 175lbs and now i am 170 lbs and still 10% so i am just drop to 165 and then start clean bulking at probably 9%
bro are premium genetics about how much you can lift or how you look? and when do you know your full potentionl? am almost 16 and can i tell my genetic potention right now or i need to wait to pass 18 then see? i clearly dont lift like heavy heavy weights but my body looks good with 16% bf and even in 16% i can see some veins
@luimarco But if you go to his Youtube Channel (i am subscribed to him) it's based on how he was always Natural.. Dang i would be disappointed if he were lieing all this time.
@luimarco He Says in his video that its natural but You seem positive. He is currently Traning for the Cronus (Competition) were he says it all natural.
But Lui ... Your the man. and i always wanted to say you kinda look like GSP when you shave bro lol
@luimarco Lui, I just wanna say thank for all the help! Ever since I was young I loved to learn from the wise and experienced (I just watched your bicep peak video haha). Because I found it was the best way to seek information, way better than books haha. With the information you put on here along with few other wise guru's (Elliot Hulse, Tuan Tran, Darin Steen, Scooby) It has helped transform my LIFE! Jan 2010 I was 236lbs at 5'6, by Oct I was 155lbs, and I am now currently 170lbs.
@luimarco Of course not nearly as lean as you. But I haven't gained fat since, I this because I could see my abs more than ever haha!! Thanks again!! You are truely one of the best!!
Hey Marco, Im 14 and can bench press 400 pounds. I can run faster then a cheetah and I have very big armz. Also, I can do 100 pull-ups.
Marco, please tell me... tell me how awesome I am :D
Haha in all seriousness. I like this video Marco. Many people are often being misled to the possibilities of natural bodybuilding. Some natural bodybuilders are brainwashed beyond repair and might need to check your video for a reality check.
@nuclears1 taller, bigger faster , stronger than 95% of your Friends??? that's a good indication that yes you are ahead of the field with probably very good genetics
@luimarco hahaha now that you mention it :P i have always been the biggest (muscle or fat) in class. Im pretty wide shouldered, narrow waisted. Im 6''2 200lbs at the moment. not the fastest there is but but definatly stronger than average guy in the gym, specially in my back and shoulders/trapz
Luii i was wondering if i could send you pictures of my current shape for u to evaluate what i need to work on, is this possible and if so what do i need to do?
@luimarco this is unbelievable that you put this video up today. I was going to ask the same question as Eightlimbz along with giving a little synopsis of my current nutrition that i'm following. I'm lean everywhere but at the lower center portion of my abs. With caliper test I'm right at around 10%. I think it may just be something that I can tweak to break through. Insight from you would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.
love it man... keep it natural keep it healthy... we are in this for a healthier life.. not pint size nuts, and bitch tits hahaha... love ur channel man!
Brock Lesnar is a beast...all I have to say and when he was doing WWE he was most Likely on roids if u compare him now in the UFC to when he was in WWE you'd be able to see right off the bat, even in his college days of wrestling he wasn't that big but he was jacked
i think, that everybody who starts working out for whatever reason (get mass, get lean, get fit, get healthy, whatever) should watch, no, study your videos to get this great information. your channel is a natural bodybuilding-health-fitness encyclopedia !!
keep doing the great work.
cheers from a russian guy living in germany. we follow you all around the world bro !
It can also be bloating. When you have a lot of water sitting between your loose skin and your abs, even with low bodyfat, they don't show as much. And yep, the tigher your skin, the deeper the grooves you see between your abs.
When there's a hard plateau you can't cross. It may take a while though, because there's natural bodybuilders that after 10-12 years of training, have 20" arms, when they started at 13-14". So, it can be a long long path till you "capped" at ALL bodyparts.
@tazss159 easy! you'll Take an array of about 10 to 15 different drugs ( plus another aray of 10 drugs to counter the side effects of the previous list of drugs )! you'll testicles will be shut down probably for the rest of your life! it doesn't worth it bro
@luimarco Ok, but um... how do I get enrolled to compete in Mr.Olympia...? Do I have to call them, send them an email or something...? How do I join so I can compete?
@tazss159 There are qualifying meets that you have to win in order to enter that meet, just like olympic athletes have to qualify through trials. Unlike olympic athletes, people who go to the Mr Olympia are jacked up on roids, so being a natural bodybuilder(I assume you are) you would not have a good chance in winning. Shoot for competing in natural contests, where hardwork is everything.
@swimpoolshark So if you wanted to be an olympic athlete, how do I enroll for the trails they have? Where do I go? Do I have to call them or send them an email or something? How do I enroll to be a professional athlete? I live in NZ if that helps...
@tazss159 Each sport is different. I'm a swimmer, so in order to go to olympic trails I would have to make a certain time cut to go(God help me). In sports like soccer or volleyball, selection would come from how high your team to placed in certain tournaments, and how make you helped the team. What sport are you wanting to go in?
@swimpoolshark So say if I wanted to become a professional MMA fighter, would I have to first join a local MMA club near me which has tournaments and then kick ass in tournaments or something? How does this work?
@tazss159 That sounds about right, winning tournaments will get you into better tournaments, and after talent scouts see you do well they might offer you a contract or something. Everyone has to start somewhere, the first step would be to go train your ass off at a gym with a sparring partner or join a club. For MMA, learning a martal art or wreasling would be a great start, most of the greats in the sport have experience in both.
It's sad that you guys let genetics dictate how far you can go. Fuck genetics. When you reach your genetic peak, then find a way to move past it. You natural guys have no idea what your missing.
@TheMusclesmagee did i Start Bashing you because you are not Natural??? i mean we just Practice 2 different Sports. am sorry man! we have no similarities at all, we just share same Gyms! Am not gonna Bash you at all but with all due respect, my Videos are strictly redirected towards Natural bodybuilders. they will not benefit you at all. i Salute your Honesty and i hope you'll keep you health safe with the choices you have made!
@luimarco No you didn't but most guys on here bash AAS so I jumped to conclusions. I still watch you, berg, and barthel. We both like to do the same thing....go to the gym.
@selmarunner id rather see a contest of people making a weekly vlog them working out as rookies for 1 year and see what they accomplish if they all keep at it they are already winners :-)
im natural i weight is 290 around there at 5,11 on a good day and the top part of my abs show grant the lower part not yet but im saying its not impossible for this kid to get to that
@strongsick286 i hate to say it but that kind of thinking is not good genitic limit what is that no such thing some guys have the worst freaking genitics and they still can get under 900 pounds or something like that so i mean what your saying is not impossible and also can be done with out steroids trust me i think you got it all wrong if you work hard enough any thing is possible.
heath, genetics in my opinion atleast are very important. there are some people who can bench 225 their first time, and deadlift 405 their first time, and are also huge without training..then u have a guy lie me who could not even do one pushup or even bench the bar for one reps his first time. it's true ive taken my bench to 300, and deadlift to 445, but seem people start close to that! therefore they will get further even though i train harder
@luimarco how many years of serious lifting would someone take to reach his genetic potential ? i knw it vary's but whats the average? i hear most say 10 years.
I believe the guy from campbell fitness is natural, He's like 6'4'' and around 230 ish. I'm not sure his exact bodyfat but he has abs for whatever it is. I think smaller guys (height, bone structure) look better at a lower weight and less bf % and taller guys look better with more weight and slightly more bf, Nothing crazy though. Just an opinion. What you are doing works for you, Individual results vary though.
i have a freind he was weighing around 225lbs at 6'2 he had about 15%bf , he cut down all the way down to about 178-180lbs 7%bf , he looked good at that weight cut, he told me he could of stayed at 190 but still would of carried too much fat. so 178 was perfect weight at 7% bf.
@ballzyification Accept twinmuscleworkout are retards. Both of them are very stupid and know very little about any of these things (nutrition, fitness, bodybuilding). Luimarco is no genius, heck to be honest he only really knows the basics. But at least he knows enough to teach young individuals these basics, and that the majority of the time his information is correct. Twinmuscleworkout are WRONG about almost everything they tell the people who follow them because they don't know any better.
Honsetly ive never even thought about my genetics being good or bad or even thought about them..!? It' has never even crossed my mind. idk how people can obsess over itt especially over something you can never change !!!
@emericaordie15 teens are pressured to be bigger stronger! see all the Girls Watering about the 6 pack of that Ware-wolf in Twilight??? Guys of their age are feeling complex-ed and are pressured to look like that!
@luimarco That is true. But if your trying to get a body like that for someone else than your doing it for the wrong reasons! I workout and eat right for my self. The girls is just and extra bonus you could say lol. Idk but i don't obsess over things you can't change peace bro!
@luimarco I have a dumb question. Don't blame you if you don't answer it.
How come some people have that vein running down their biceps? I don't think it has anything to do with bodyfat because I've seen really overweight people with that vein and really ripped people without it. I heard it may be genetics, but if it's a vein, doesn't everybody need it?
@luimarco I think I'm around 15% bodyfat myself and I workout regularly and I don't have that vein. It must be that my muscles aren't fully mature yet. Oh yes one more question.
I don't know how to accurately calculate my bodyfat percentage and thought you would know.
I'm 5'7" 140lbs and I can see the outline of a 4-pack on my stomach.
I have good genetics to build muscle, unfortunately all my joints are shot. So i accepted it, and i'm working on just being lean and trying my best to keep athletic. Many people say I should try to lift heavy and get big, but usually i end up getting hurt, then getting fat from too much caloric intake. This was a very good vid so people can be comfortable in their skin.
i personally don't believe in genetic potential , i completely agree about being realistic but who's done a biopsy of your muscles to say they can't grow anymore or you can't get stronger, you just have to find the way to unlock your new 'potential'
@ako541 Example; doing leg pressing for 20 years which i did non-stop , trust me you'll know your Natural limit, go above it , you,ll get Hurt, no extra food, no extra rest, no extra supplement will over pass that barrier. i squatted till i puked, i had my eyes full blown with Blood after every leg sessions. limit is a limit after 20 years you'll understand that cause it happens to you and everybody around you.
@luimarco i just feel like theres always something you can manipulate to make your body grow and or get stronger, nobody in the world can say they've tried everything because theres so many different training regimes, diets, supps ect... i just see genetic potential as an excuse for plateaus when there is always something out there that you can do to bust through them, its just hard to find it, not hating on you btw bro, keep up the good work !!!
@luimarco Hey Lui, I bought this supplement from my Gym recently called "Cytosport Complete Whey Protien"... what do you think about this product? Is it good? Is this a good supplement for me to make progress?
@jinunit dude has arguably the best back in history. best forearms, best calves, probably the best traps ever as well. he was the strongest dude in jail at 18

@swimpoolshark So if you wanted to be an olympic athlete, how do I enroll for the trails they have? Where do I go? Do I have to call them or send them an email or something? How do I enroll to be a professional athlete? I live in NZ if that helps...
tazss159 7 months ago
@tazss159 Each sport is different. I'm a swimmer, so in order to go to olympic trails I would have to make a certain time cut to go(God help me). In sports like soccer or volleyball, selection would come from how high your team to placed in certain tournaments, and how make you helped the team. What sport are you wanting to go in?

@swimpoolshark So say if I wanted to become a professional MMA fighter, would I have to first join a local MMA club near me which has tournaments and then kick ass in tournaments or something? How does this work?
tazss159 7 months ago
@tazss159 That sounds about right, winning tournaments will get you into better tournaments, and after talent scouts see you do well they might offer you a contract or something. Everyone has to start somewhere, the first step would be to go train your ass off at a gym with a sparring partner or join a club. For MMA, learning a martal art or wreasling would be a great start, most of the greats in the sport have experience in both.

It's sad that you guys let genetics dictate how far you can go. Fuck genetics. When you reach your genetic peak, then find a way to move past it. You natural guys have no idea what your missing.

strongsick286 7 months ago
@strongsick286 i hate to say it but that kind of thinking is not good genitic limit what is that no such thing some guys have the worst freaking genitics and they still can get under 900 pounds or something like that so i mean what your saying is not impossible and also can be done with out steroids trust me i think you got it all wrong if you work hard enough any thing is possible.
strongsick286 7 months ago
@strongsick286 hey heath, yd usend e this hahah.
heath, genetics in my opinion atleast are very important. there are some people who can bench 225 their first time, and deadlift 405 their first time, and are also huge without training..then u have a guy lie me who could not even do one pushup or even bench the bar for one reps his first time. it's true ive taken my bench to 300, and deadlift to 445, but seem people start close to that! therefore they will get further even though i train harder

I believe the guy from campbell fitness is natural, He's like 6'4'' and around 230 ish. I'm not sure his exact bodyfat but he has abs for whatever it is. I think smaller guys (height, bone structure) look better at a lower weight and less bf % and taller guys look better with more weight and slightly more bf, Nothing crazy though. Just an opinion. What you are doing works for you, Individual results vary though.

i have a freind he was weighing around 225lbs at 6'2 he had about 15%bf , he cut down all the way down to about 178-180lbs 7%bf , he looked good at that weight cut, he told me he could of stayed at 190 but still would of carried too much fat. so 178 was perfect weight at 7% bf.

@ballzyification Accept twinmuscleworkout are retards. Both of them are very stupid and know very little about any of these things (nutrition, fitness, bodybuilding). Luimarco is no genius, heck to be honest he only really knows the basics. But at least he knows enough to teach young individuals these basics, and that the majority of the time his information is correct. Twinmuscleworkout are WRONG about almost everything they tell the people who follow them because they don't know any better.

@luimarco That is true. But if your trying to get a body like that for someone else than your doing it for the wrong reasons! I workout and eat right for my self. The girls is just and extra bonus you could say lol. Idk but i don't obsess over things you can't change peace bro!
emericaordie15 7 months ago
@luimarco I have a dumb question. Don't blame you if you don't answer it.
How come some people have that vein running down their biceps? I don't think it has anything to do with bodyfat because I've seen really overweight people with that vein and really ripped people without it. I heard it may be genetics, but if it's a vein, doesn't everybody need it?

@wafflecushioned 2 things, body fat and muscle maturity, mine was showing at over 15% Body fat
luimarco 7 months ago
@luimarco I think I'm around 15% bodyfat myself and I workout regularly and I don't have that vein. It must be that my muscles aren't fully mature yet. Oh yes one more question.
I don't know how to accurately calculate my bodyfat percentage and thought you would know.
I'm 5'7" 140lbs and I can see the outline of a 4-pack on my stomach.

@wafflecushioned buy some bodyfat calipers, then just look up online how to do it, one of the cheapest and most accurate ways to measure bodyfat !

I have good genetics to build muscle, unfortunately all my joints are shot. So i accepted it, and i'm working on just being lean and trying my best to keep athletic. Many people say I should try to lift heavy and get big, but usually i end up getting hurt, then getting fat from too much caloric intake. This was a very good vid so people can be comfortable in their skin.

i personally don't believe in genetic potential , i completely agree about being realistic but who's done a biopsy of your muscles to say they can't grow anymore or you can't get stronger, you just have to find the way to unlock your new 'potential'
ako541 7 months ago
@ako541 Example; doing leg pressing for 20 years which i did non-stop , trust me you'll know your Natural limit, go above it , you,ll get Hurt, no extra food, no extra rest, no extra supplement will over pass that barrier. i squatted till i puked, i had my eyes full blown with Blood after every leg sessions. limit is a limit after 20 years you'll understand that cause it happens to you and everybody around you.

@luimarco i just feel like theres always something you can manipulate to make your body grow and or get stronger, nobody in the world can say they've tried everything because theres so many different training regimes, diets, supps ect... i just see genetic potential as an excuse for plateaus when there is always something out there that you can do to bust through them, its just hard to find it, not hating on you btw bro, keep up the good work !!!
