To the guys who have put in a bit of time (3+ years) and intend on being natural for the entirety of their lives...
Do you find that you get a lot of compliments from guys/girls/older people on your physique despite the fact you've never used cell tech?
Obviously it can be frustrating when you opt not to go down that route and you can't really compete with those guys.
But do you find that, after 3 years of natural training, you still look *a lot* better than everybody else?
By 3 years, you've presumably built about 35-40 lbs of lean body mass (not pure skeletal muscle) and that surely separates you from the pack a lot?

Not what I would consider a lot. But get a fair amount of comments and jokes from dudes and girls. Three years isnt enough, I've been at it for nearly 10.

Literally nearly every time I go out on the weekend I get complimented by strangers more than my friends do. I'm not the biggest guy or the leanest guy but I've been told I stand out from the rest. Don't seek compliments, when you do it right compliments will come 2 u.
Negs are a weak mans fist.

When i'm leaner yes, but that was like 3 years ago. depending on what I wear I get compliments.
how it goes is if your "big', guys will comment or look up to you pretty much, but it's a turn off for most girls. would love to cut but cant/106'0 249 @ 18 years old in AVI
