 Alright guys what is going on it's Jacob here if you know me you know me if you don't subscribe and if you don't subscribe that's fine but today's video as always is just gonna be me being a hundred percent honest you know over the last five or six years after watching so many frickin bodybuilding shows so many videos on bodybuildings reading so many forums I've seen in the flesh natural bodybuilders from all walks of life all ages all sizes ectomorph endomorph doesn't even matter all right the question today is what is the limit what is the natural limit to building muscle and developing a physique all right and guess what guys if if you don't watch any any of the rest of the video all right the one thing I'm gonna say right now to all you guys before you fucking switch off is that there is no limit there's no fucking limit why is there a limit why are you guys putting limits on yourself before you've even started man come on all right I first started in the gym with absolute naivety all right I've talked about it in another video I saw guys like Phil Heath and Ronnie Coleman up there on stage and I thought the only reason they're bigger than me and their body looks different than mine is the fact that they've had longer to train they're 35 40 years old man they've trained for 25 years you know I've trained for what two at the time and I thought well that just gave me the motivation man I didn't need I didn't need steroids I didn't even fucking know about that shit all I knew was the fact that from what I was doing so far I was getting gains they may be slow but at the end of the day I've just got to keep it up and I'll I'll get there and that may not be true all right that's obviously not true but the fact is that that attitude got me so far and I'm still going on that attitude you know I'm a believer when it comes to natural bodybuilders I'm a believer you get guys like simian panda Chris Jones Matt ogis got guys like Doug Miller if you don't know who Doug Miller is he is the best natural bodybuilder in the world right now I do believe you've got guys like kiyoshi moody if you don't know who kiyoshi moody is he is the man he's the most underrated guy in the whole entire world all right he is a six-time mr. natural Olympia you'll hear about Phil Heath when he goes six times this year you won't hear about kiyoshi moody he's a six-time mr. Olympia on the natural bodybuilding stage you watch one of these you know professional natural bodybuilders and the look that they have on stage is totally different to your average gym goer or you know you're your state natural bodybuilding show or something like that these guys not only do they combine fantastic genetics with you know the attitude of fucking balls to the wall training their nutrition's on point and and that's how they get these physiques that they do I don't think there's a there's a limit so I just want to touch on on age for a second the best natural bodybuilders all right the best ones you see out there it goes without saying they have trained for at least 15 years all right 15 20 25 years and you're trying to tell me that there's a limit on the progress you can make naturally you're really gonna try and tell me that it can stop when guys are 50 years old and they're still looking amazing on stage they're winning pro natural competitions these 50 year old guys okay yes there might be black most of them but you know that's genetics for all right these guys are still natural and that's what we're talking about today what is the limit to how much muscle you can build naturally or how far you can progress your physique and that's another point I want to make just before I forget is the fact that making gains is not just you know building like mass all right it's not just building that muscle mass yes in natural bodybuilding those first two years those first three years are going to be your absolute best and anyone that I meet that is in that first six to 12 months in the gym I tell them man I'm just like fuck all right go and do your research I can tell you all I want but go and do your research on nutrition decide what you want to do if you want to build muscle man start getting those carbs in the protein you know that's the that's the knowledge I wish I had in those first few in those first couple years but it took me to realize my gains weren't going that well to go out and get some you know read forums get some advice watch YouTube videos put that into place in my own training and nutrition and then I started getting better results but shit if I had been armed with that knowledge right at the start holy crap you know I I say to a lot of people as well five years all right give yourself five years five years of solid training nutrition research you know get really involved in the fitness industry realize what's going on realize what a fake natty is realize what's you know what you can achieve naturally and after five years man if you don't have a half impressive physique you're doing something wrong all right I think that would be that would be the the point that I'd like everyone to get to before even considering going down that dark road so I went off on a bit of a tangent there what the point I wanted to make before was the fact that progressing and making gains is not just building muscle all right so you might at age 35 after training for 15 years you may be pretty much reaching your genetic potential as far as building mass all right naturally the thing that steroids do to guys it jacks up your testosterone levels and it you know it's going to allow your frame to carry and maintain more muscle on a natural dose of testosterone whatever you're born with all right your body is not going to be able to maintain and carry all that muscle it's going to get to a certain point and then it's just not going to go so I guess as far as muscle mass and growth that would be your genetic limit but as far as making gains I'd only as it building mass I believe that you know developing your vascularity over time more veins will start popping out each time I cut down to below 10% body fat I see more veins I'm starting to develop tricep veins tricep veins are fucking sick all right what natural like you know natural bodybuilders with fucking veins along their triceps that's that's awesome you know and I'm getting there but I've been training for six years now and I tell you what in another 10 years after I've been training for 16 years I'll be 35 years old and I want to be up on a natural Mr. Olympia stage still preaching natural body building still preaching good diet and nutrition and having 10 12 15 16 years of training behind me that's you know and these videos man that's why I'm making these videos to I want to document the journey I firmly believe that I'm gonna fucking make it man I'm gonna get up on that stage so anyways guys it's getting dark you probably can't even see me anymore may as well put the light on here look I know I go I go off in a little bit of a rant every now and then but with videos that I'm passionate about like this one I really am passionate about it you know I I'll tell anyone who asked me the exact same things that I've told you right now so yeah let's I mean I'm loving the journey I I love the thought of the the journey of a natural bodybuilder I think that why the fuck would you want to you know max yourself out in the first five years as far as size goes that's that's boring man it's fucking boring like anyway that aside getting back to the original question what is the limit to building muscle and developing your physique naturally there is no limit why would you put a limit on yourself like that there is no limit yes there may be a limit give yourself 15 years and you may be getting towards your size limit all right but as far as actually still developing your physique as far as developing vascularity developing hardness that density which only comes with time as you guys know muscle maturity muscle maturity is huge man someone the exact same weight at the exact same body fat who's been training for five years as opposed to someone who's been training for 20 it's just gonna be a completely different look yes the stats are the same but the looks not and so that's what I'm saying after after you've got as big as you can while you can still develop your physique so at the end of the day there is absolutely no fucking limit the only limit is okay yes maybe when age becomes a factor at age 60 I really don't know I mean if you look after your body if you don't fuck around in the gym you you know you train for longevity not for your ego I think that at age 50 you can be in the best shape your life and I truly believe at age 50 I will be in the best shape in my life you see these 50 year old guys still dominating natural bodybuilding stages it's crazy but it comes back to my point there is no limit all right so that was me ranting a little bit I know I tend to go off track but I am passionate about this I really am I hope you got something from the video if not let me know give us a like if you feel like I deserve it comment subscribe would be absolutely fucking fantastic you know I'm really trying to grow my channel I don't know where I'm gonna end up but I do know that I am documenting it so wherever I do fucking end up you'll see so until next time guys have a great day that's enough for me for tonight peace catch you
