I have the exact same problem as Victor. I look at a weight and I grow. I'm 5'8", 230 lbs at 12% bodyfat. I have trained off and on for the past 10 years, completely natural. But I cannot, for the life of me, get below 12%. Except maybe now - I just finished my first dnp cycle.
I put on 40lbs in less than 3 years while dropping bodyfat from 15 to 10%. I'm on my 2nd cycle and I'm the strongest person of my size in my very crowded gym!! I weigh 197. I believe my genetics are good. Problem is my tris are so big and strong (8 dips with 120 hanging) that my bis seem inadequate, even though they are quite strong too.

I have PHENOMENAL genetics. The problem is, is that i'm a TOTAL F**K UP! I'm a recovering coke addict, which ruined 3 years of my life, i have a disc problem in my back that now requires surgery. I am drinking booze like a fish day-in and day-out because of the pain. I have no health insurance as of now, but i'm getting some within the next month or so. I'm 6'5" and 318 now with well over 20% BF. My best was 267 at 5.2% BF when i took the NPC Jersey in 1998. Talk about DEPRESSING, huh? BTW, i'm 100% Austrian, like Arnold. I think thats the only thing saving my sorry ass.

From what I've been told, I've got great genetics. Freshman year high school (150), Soph (185), Junior (200), Sr. (225), Fresh College (235), ---last year of college football (280), which was in 1995. Last cycle was 97, today I'm bigger and leaner than ever. I'm 5'10", wear a 54 size coat, 38-40 pants, and weigh 270 now. My back is very, very wide. My calves are a little bigger than my biceps, and very cut. People seem amazed at the calves. I do have a little love handle area.
I'm at the point where I've been working hard to maximize my potential, and hopefully soon start cycling again. First, I want to make dieting, (preparing the food) a habit.
Took a month layoff, now after 3 weeks, I'm back to using 140lb dumbells for 8 on flat bench press on my 4th set., 235 for 8 strict reps on behind neck press. I'm really trying hard to do this right, but preparing food on a consistent basis is hard. I don't care about junk food, just preparing the right foods.
If anyone can offer any advice, I'm all ears...it's be greatly appreciated.

i have ok genitics .... i have to work hard to add muscle ..but on the god side i can eat what the fuck i want and not gain a pound!!
but what really pisses me off is the fact that my dad was 6'3 230 naturally (no gut) with great arms, pecks traps...he just looked like he worked out , although he didnt ...i just can explain it....i also remember when i was younger my dads friends tried to get him to work out , cuz they thought if he did he could be compete.
even now in his old age he's still bigger than me with broader shoulders...hehe....i think it must have been all the fish he ate growing up (grandfather was a fisherman)
and to top it all off all i inherited where my mums goddamn skinny legs!!

well lets see me is an ecto-mesomorph, trains natural
most strong points are:
serratus, intercoastals, shoulders, arms, upper abs
average:
Lower abs, traps, calves
weekness include:
Chest big time especiall upper,
I started regular lower bod work in the past 3 weeks
what im seeing developed since im working my lower body now regularly is my squat strengh, my gain especially in the past 6 days is ridiculous
I went from struggly with 185 6 days ago 5x5 to squating out 275 for the same sets today!. that's 90 pound increase in squats in 6 days. I'm pretty sure this is genetic, my brother came in second in the nationals he squated 500 3 times him being 16 and a meso and only 5'11 190 pounds.
should be fun to see where the increases stop in my legs and see where my weaknesses are there
