That was a great post (thread) Nelson. Very true.
I went from squatting 315 for 10 to 365 for 9 with no juice. Just a shitload of creatine and prayer before each set. I had also stopped counting calories and therefore more food. This was in 1996. I had not touched juice in 4 years at the time. But my bench would never shoot up like that, as you said genetics (as you said, your chest vs. your calves -- we have opposite genetic attributes)

My Hamstrings and calves (do not train calves other than squats)

I give all thanks to God for all I have and pray He returns me to my best and beyond. God giveth and God also taketh away.
Good thread Nelson. And not controversial -- but, without reading the prior 160 posts, I'll bet you are still being targeted by some.
