      Not true man. That must have happened to you after 7 years, not to me. Im his size and just as lean natural in less than 7 years, while also being just as strong if not stronger than him. I have been accused of juice ever since I started lifting. Even in my first year of lifting as a teenager at 15 I was accused of juice while eating junk food every single day and very little protein, and I looked better than 95 percent of naturals who were lifting for 10 plus years. Natural lifters VARY TREMENDOUSLY in size, strength, leanness, and strength. A lot of naturals look like garbage, while some look average, some above average, and some like amazing or like theyre on large amounts of juice, which is a huge variation which also depends on how hard you're training and how serious you're taking everything. You are very wrong to think you can't look like Mike naturally if you train very seriously and pay attention to your macros. You don't need supplements either because in the grand scheme of things they do almost nothing. Hes very lean at just over 200 and 6 foot tall. Very possible. Naturals bigger and leaner than him also man. He has amazing genes though and a strong work ethic so I give him a lot of credit. Im not saying he's natural though because obviously I dont know that. I'm just saying I know for a fact it's possible that he's natural.

    • @Ykobaissi23
      @Ykobaissi23 2 роки тому

      Haha he was natural throughout his teenage years but due too the amount of competitions and his status as a UA-cam fitness model. It’s not “unnatural” too be on steroids if you compete and do it for a living(which he does and did) because all anobolic steroids do is reverse the catobolic effect so you produce more testosterone too RECOEVER MUSCLE faster you still have too weight train and apply stress and tension. Can’t sit on your ass and just inject 200 ml of test or trend. EVEB GUYS WHO OVER USE ROIDS AT THE GYM don’t look near as good they still carry a lot of fat or have no definition. He can’t be as open because it’s illegal but anyone in the IFBB/ BodyBuilding/UA-cam Fitness All reach extreme levels of competition we’re taking steroids is a even playing field it’s not who takes more it’s about who has the most esthetic and nicest looking physique and also who trains the hardest will show.

    Not yet finished with the whole video, but I think that it is safe to say that you are naturally lean and your muscles respond very well to training. I've been trying to get lean, and have succeeded in putting on some muscles. However, the flabs from my overweight teenage years just ruined my muscle tone and definition. Any tips for effectively cutting the body fat? Plus, do you train like every day? Keep the videos coming, cheers!

    • @MikeThurston
      @MikeThurston  8 років тому +10

      You'll have to go through a period of cutting to get rid of that stubborn body fat. It will most likely take months of following structured nutrition programme which you don't deviate from! I listen to my body and take days off when I feel it's necessary. I try to cycle through phases of higher volume, training 6 sessions per week, some 2 x per day. Then periods of lower volume of 4 sessions per week.

    • @davidhuang6306
      @davidhuang6306 8 років тому +2

      Thanks for your reply, mate. Will try the high-low volume cycle to add variety to my workouts. As for the serious cutting, is it possible to elaborate on that with a video? I am sure many guys are super-interested in such insight from a pro like you. You definitely deserve more publicity and support, man.

  • @GeorgePop
    @GeorgePop 8 років тому +13

    With all respect to Mike, he was fit when he was young in elementary and high school age so it is a big reason why he can pack on the muscles relatively fast.
    As you may or may not know, but if you're into fitness you should know this, muscles have memory. So, if you run and play soccer, baseball, basketball on a daily range when you are young especially in high school then even if you don't exercise for the 10 years after high school you will still get fit faster than people who have never exercised.
    The importance is to teach your kids or teenagers to exercise regularly in high school and before they are 18, because if they want to get fit when they are 30 or 40 then they'll be able to get fit much faster than regular people who have never exercised regularly in their life.
    So, yes, Mike can get big quick and he has good genetics, but seriously, he was exercising throughout elementary and high school years, so his muscles have been active for all his adult life, not just in the last 7 years.
    As he said we all have abs, they just stay hidden behind all the fat, so the important part you should take from his video is nutrition, and regular exercise...put in the work, you will get results.
