    Nattys with 3+ years lifting: Do you get a lot of compliments on your physique?

    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?

    Yea,

    I get the comment that "You are in shape", or "At this rate you will outlive me".

    Never, you are jacked. I do have a friend that says I am built like a rugby player, however I know I am not that big.

    What constitutes bad genetics in your opinion?

    Bad insertions? Large waist? Narrow shoulders?

    Dude, I specified that I wasn't talking about raw, skeletal muscle.

    The general consensus is that you gain 20-25 lbs of LBM in your first year, 10-15 lbs in your second and 5-10 in your third. Then 5 lbs a year after that.

    So 35-40 lbs in 3 years is achievable.

    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.

    Definitely get a lot of compliments
    Started at 165 pounds three years ago, now I'm sitting around 195-200 with about 15% bodyfat. Most people don't lift so if they see you improving yourself they're going to notice really fast, you don't have to tech to make gains, you just have to stick with it.

    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/10

    I've lifted for a year and a half. Only seriously for about 8 months. I get complimented a lot but I'm only a junior in high school and I'm very young for a junior (barely 16).

    I do sometimes. I hate when I get them from males and my family however. its annoying. I like it when I get em from attractive females however.

    Depends on whether or not I'm wearing a shirt.

    With shirt = DYEL
    Without shirt + pump = Shredded brah

    I'm sure if I lift for 3 years seriously (including dieting) I would look like I lift in and out of the gym.
