72. Eric Helms - Harsh Truths About Natural Bodybuilding


Listen Later

I had Dr. Eric Helms back on the Swole Radio Podcast to discuss myths and controversies about natural bodybuilding.


1:01 Is the natty limit real?

8:50 Realistic ranges of muscle gain per year, as a beginner, intermediate, advanced, bodybuilder

23:05 How long does it take to capture most of your gains as a natural?

33:56 At what age range are natural bodybuilders at their peak?

46:44 How should advanced naturals track progress over long time scales?

55:01 Comment on these statements: “You can’t get big without getting strong as a natural”

1:00:43 “Natural supplements are useless for muscle growth”. What % edge can you get with natural supplements? Eg. Creatine

1:05:55 How far can people get with the “gaintaining” approach?
