Natty limits, genetic potential, everyone talks about these concepts, but most people truly get it wrong. You've heard the tropes, "you reach 80% of your muscular potential in your first X years of effective training." It sounds great in theory, but it is the exception rather than the rule when it plays out this way in the real world. How often do people start off with effective training? How does regular dieting, either for competition or for the likes impact this timeline? What about injuries, time off, school, kids? How about simply figuring out what works best for you after years of being unable to? Despite the "rule" being so volatile and highly variable due to these factors (and others), it's surprisingly common to hear people use this "logic" to justify anything from slacking off on training, to hopping on anabolics, to even supposedly identifying fake natty's. Join us in this episode as we talk about the not-so-linear timeline of approaching the asymptote that is your potential.
