You are a dick… And I agree, at least see if you like weight training first.

315 bench 405 squat and 495 deadlift are all good goals for a natural and I think they’re obtainable for almost everyone given intelligent nutrition/training. As for size…once everyone you meet gives you a nickname immediately, you might be getting close.

I’ve always felt that if I could go back, and know what to do to build my physique, I could realistically reach impressive levels after 5 years. Now, that’s 5 years of doing everything perfect, day in and day out, no excuses, no lay offs, and of course, it’s still just a guess.

When someone doesn’t even train with regularity, have any idea what their diet is like, have a plan on how they’re addressing whatever aspect of their progress they’re focusing on at the moment, etc,… I can’t help but think that the last thing they should be considering is what to do when they’ve maxed out their genetics.

I would suggest doing a basic 5x5 program for you

If you’re dead, you might’ve reached the limit of your natural progression.

Sorry man.

You actually reached your natty potential last Tuesday.

Sorry to use US standard but I don’t feel like converting for this thread. My friend and I are close to your size.

Me (22yo) : 5’8" 175lbs and have been training for about 3 years
Him (also 22) : 5’9" 165lbs and has been training for about 2 years

Stats:
Me: 335 bench, 425 squat and 515 dead
Him: 275 bench, 315 squat and 405 dead

We are both still making gains at a very consistent pace and have never gotten anywhere near a cycle. Not saying you can get the same progress as us or that your have the same ceiling as we do, what I am saying is that you are no where near even needing to think about taking anything. Every time we hit a “plateau” its because something in our diet or training routine needs to be changed. What you need to be worried about right now is finding a program that works for you and making gains.
