What does it take to be huge?

NitrogenY3K · 22 May 2007 at 15:34

I know it probably sounds like a stupid question, but what in your eyes does it take to be huge? I mean 20st+ 10% or less BF with 20"+ arms etc, someone u look at and go "**** me" i think you know what I mean.

You have to train hard have plenty of rest and have a sound diet. But what else is essential to becoming huge? Are there any small things that people neglect that stop them from reaching their potential?

A bit missing upstairs, a needle in the arm and a lack of something important to do

Gear is an obvious one.

I would say keeping your joint's and organs working healthily aswell.

Arnie like genetics might help too

If your an ectomorph to begin with you may as well forget about it imo.

Gotta go with genetics first, look at any of the pros when they were in their teens and they were already big, then diet, gear, rest and finally, to get to the very top, dedication/addiction.

A bit of a mental health problem might help in all of the above

Very profound statement. I knew a couple of guys who had this obsession! One of them got huge, but in the process ended up killing himself on account of steroid abuse.

The kind of size you're talking about can only be achieved if you're prepared to gamble with your health - be warned!

Genetics, determination and plenty of Sylvester Stallone juice

If you're aiming to look like Mr Olympia, you'll have to use steroids. Yeah, sure. The thing is, if a guy who is 5'10 works his ass off for 5 years and weighs 240lbs, you'll look at him and say "SAINTSALIVE me" and he doesn't have to take steroids.

This guy started off at 18, weighing 150lbs. He worked at it for three years, and ended up here, at 210lbs. He also managed to get a medical degree in the process. And have friends.

Since then he's put on another 50lbs. This conception that the only way to get big is to take steroids is what holds most people back from getting big.

Dude, I'd edit the sweary! :eek:

To get Huge, steroids will be needed, but for the look a lot of people want which is not to get huge and just to get quite big they wont need steroids no, a lot of time and dedication with sound training diet and a lot or good sleep.
For the size im talking though you would need them

Skull · 22 May 2007 at 19:02

Ok so not steroid huge then?

I'd have to say not eating enough.

imo for a lot of people that is wrong. I would class myself among some people who could get big naturally. Unless you are talking Cutler / Coleman huge, which in that case, they are in a different league.

Do i remember you mentioning that you are/were using? How is it going if you are?

cleanbluesky · 22 May 2007 at 19:47

TBH natural size is important as well, the black guy in the picture looks impressive but I am willing to bet he is short.

I agree, a lot of people can get big without the use of geat, but im talking about competition level size, bordering on pro u know someone you look at in the middle of the street and go "**** me" makes u stop and look.

Yeh, Its going good, coming to end of curent cycle, will have some time of do PCT and then get back on it once I have recovered.

cool, how much have you gained on this cycle and how much do you expect to keep after the PCT?

Tried for more leaner gains this cycle, havnt eaten as much junk as I usually do on a bulk, before i went on I weighed in at approx 15st 8 and i weighed about 3 weeks back on 2 seperate scales and was sitting at 16st 11lbs on 1 and 17st 4 on another, so in between there somewhere

Obviously im going to have water weight come off first which is going to be a few lbs, and if i maintain my good diet and hard training I shouldnt lose more than a couple of lbs. (hopefully

)

Morba · 22 May 2007 at 20:15

keeping above 16 1/2st would be a fantastic gain then. nice one

alexakasloth · 22 May 2007 at 20:26

16 1/2 stone :eek:

Nice one NY3K!
