can guys really make this much progress in one year natrually?

He's a 24 year old athlete with a great coach. Why not? Once I revamped my training, supplementation, and diet I gained 20 pounds of muscle in one year, drug free, at age 38.

I Agree. A guy in his prime muscle building years with a top level strength and conditioning coach could easily do this.

As a matter of fact, just about anyone with some dedication and determination could do this without being in their prime or having a great coach...just as Nelson did.

I know trainers who routinely do this with clients. Hell I did the same thing after many years of training. Switched my training and did some things different with my diet, and gained 20 lbs in a year.

What's funny is how no one here (for the most part) believes it can be done, because they haven't done it/can't do it/ won't do it...whatever their excuse is.

Then we see all the posts from 22 year old, 6 ft tall, 170 pounders who have "tried everything" with their diet and training to gain weight, but "just can't gain anymore". They claim to have reached their natural limit and now need to do steroids. LMAO! People are too quick to give up. Takes too much work (actually doesn't if they would just do it right). They want the short cut, the easy way to that "beach body" in just 10 weeks. Summer is coming! Get your steroids!

Damn right CEO! Rome wasn't built in a day ,I trained a 20 yr old gave him eveything he needed except steroids, he was 6 ft 1 " weighed 150 lbs,in 3 yrs he went from benching 135lbs to 415 and gained an amazing 52 lbs of solid muscle.
So don't tell me it can't be done!

well you might not have been giving him steroids, but are you sure he wasn't gettin em from somewhere else? I've never heard of that kind of a bench increase in 3 years.

I can totally believe that. Gaining just over 17 lbs a year, and adding alomst 8 lbs a week to the bench? From a 20 year old? Yes, I know it didn't happen in steady gains like that, but I'm breaking it down that way. Sounds like he probably hadn't trained much if at all with a 135 bench. Show him how to eat right and how to train right, and I know it can be done naturally. Come on dude! This is so well within a believable realm.

In three years it can be done, but one year naturally nah... Unless he had a good size before and for some reason he had stop training, then after awhile he resumed training and through muscle memory it was easier for him to regain his previous size and quite more, that's what happened with many of us, included me. But that particular guy on the before and after photos making that much improvement (from scratch) in one year with that size quality and all achieved naturally (again from scratch) don't think so. There are some freaks out there who did it in the past and were very muscular without even touching a weight though, but this one...

I know of one person that around 200lbs could bench over 400lbs in competition but it took him more than 3 years to get there.THe guy was in his late 20s I think, he was also taking some PHs at the time though but he could still do 400 natty

It looks that he went from a blubber of fat to hard mature muscle in one year...he should write a book!
