Okay so about a year ago I had same arm measurments, bench was roughly the same, body fat less then 8%..did the 7 point fold method and got recorded at 6%....but I sure as hell wasnt really that low bc I woulda had veins in my legs like how my arms are. So ill say I was 8%...I was natty alllll natty at that point. Preworkout cycles was as far as id ever gone. I was between 178-182 lbs at 510.
Well I decided to compete bc I talked to many about it. I did a strict diet and cardio every day on top of weights. Trained 5 days a week at a minimum. Well by the time the show came around I lost a lot of muscle and was more just a skinny kid. Arms were 16 inch and waste 29-30. Body fat with the skin fold was apparently 5% for the competition. I was 169-170lbs. I ended up looking flat and was FELT burnt out when it was all said and done. After the competition I realized how much weaker I had gotten. Got a lot of strength up a couple of months later.sometime after that I got prscribed adderal which made me drop 10 lbs again..
I hated how much I lost, so eventually I regrettably gave into the pressure of gear and got talked into an hdrol cycle. That basically hardened me up and got me back to 178 lbs and my 300+ bench in 5 weeks. I wasnt too impressed and really regret that cycle bc I strongly feel like I coulda made those gains natty had I stopped adderall, bc I had been that size before and at that strength without gear(did have a lot of veins on cycle though).. Well 6 weeks after hdrol I decided to try sarms(due to being less suppressive) and I am on week 3. Ive gained roughly 3 lbs and I am just now starting to be in the best shape of my life. Arms havnt increased much bc I havent been focusing on them much.
Long story short I am young bro...I honestly wasnt nearly at my natty potential when I did hdrol and I regret that. I could have eventually gotten 18 plus arms and stayed single digit body fat if I stayed away from the beer+adderall and trained how I am now. I know this for a fact bc when I was natty I was only half an inch shy of 18inch arms. Still had the 6 pack like I do now.
Now to say I coulda gotten 20 inch arms one day and stayed that lean...
Well thats a stretch lol
