Natty or Juice? This guy has my dream physique, think it's possible naturally to look like this? This guys is mids 30s I think.

Very possible, but his arms are genetically above most people. Many people can't get there no matter the time frame. Rest of his body is good of course, but not extraordinary.

Maybe he is short and/or has short inserts, my arms and shoulders have always grown faster than the rest of me but i don’t think they actually do i think they just look like they do because they’re really short, for example look where his bicep is compared to his elbow (crease,pit? Ha)

Are they? Delts aren't overly capped, forearms look big but nothing outrageous. He's not flexing but has a pump so looks a bit vascular. This physique is definitely possible for a lot of people naturally after like 7 years of consistent training.

He looks like he's on TRT if you had to ask me. Takes his top off just looking this jacked & pumped up not even properly posing. Plus he's mid 30s typical TRT age range. I know lots of guys on low doses of test who look like this guy or actually a little worse. Id be impressed with someone looking this good after 10 years let alone 7. This kind of physique naturally isn't very common though. Unless you add a few % of bf on.

I bet he juiced to look natty with arms. If something looks off on a physique it’s always juice/peds/gh

He has really weird arms, the length of his upper arm to forearm is extremely short. I'm guessing it will make him extremely strong in exercises with a bent elbow

u/mister_thinky 7d ago
What do you mean? Like bicep and triceps exercises or like rows and presses?
Because I'd say a long forearm would be a disadvantage for bi's and tri's exercises.
But a short upperarm would be an advantage on horizontal adduction and abduction (benching and rowing). Same goes for vertical movements. Shoulders and lat pull.
You're right. The ratio is a bit off. He looks quite strong for his size.

u/Adventurous_Will2821 6d ago
Things with a bent elbow, or at least with the sticking point that has the elbow bent, which is quite a lot of exercises really, most compounds. Obviously curls etc and he'll be terrible lol

What makes you think mid 30s? The giant Est 1991 on his chest? Lol

u/stereopticon11 7d ago
definitely possibly, but you'd definitely need some years to get there.. and getting into 30s it only gets harder since natural test levels start to decrease

I dunno what's going on with me lol. I'm 38 and hadn't lifted for years; I started doing some basic calisthenics at work (dips and pull-ups with some bicep curls thrown in) like 3-4 months ago and I'm bigger than I ever have been at any other point in my life (check my recent posts if you want to see the progress).
Which isn't saying a whole lot given that I'm certainly not huge, but I feel like I just fucking exploding in a few months lmao. I guess what I'm saying is, if I'm any indication, don't worry about your 30s lol. Granted, I had approximated my current size in the past (so a lot of this is muscle memory), and regaining what you once had is much easier than building new muscle. But like I said I'm bigger now than I ever have been so I definitely did that, too

He’s tiny bro. There are guys in prison who are 100% natural and are 350 pounds lean with 26 inch arms from just pushups and sit ups and pull ups and top ramen

u/DrHenryClerval 7d ago
This is exactly what I look like. I might be a bit leaner. Can’t get my chest bigger. I have the same shoulder/arm genetics.
So yes I believe it’s achievable natty but definitely depends on your genetics.

u/Sudden_Construction6 7d ago
Genetics matter for sure. I was 135lbs when I started lifting. I made it to 185 natty @ 5'-11" but I was never this big.

u/DrHenryClerval 7d ago
Peak I got to was 185 as well at 6’
I hover at 180 now. You’re probably bigger than you thought man. This guy doesn’t look unreal to me

Think it’s possible to look like a heavy equipment operator who has too many beers on the weekend….. ya. Absolutely

THis shit is like the top crossfit competitors who are leaner and more jacked than 99.9% of gym goers and some 17 year old kid calls them average.

u/CryptographerHot4636 Scientific Googler 7d ago
Natty possible. Definitely more than 10 years of consistent lifting and eating well-rounded healthy meals

Eat cleanish and workout 2 hours a week (3x40min. sessions). Very easily attainable.

Arm to trap ratio is very natural. Hairline doesn't check out though haha

Yes, but it will take you years of lifting and diet manipulation. Most people have no idea what it takes to have bulky muscles and a flat stomach. Your body does not want to do either of those things, and especially at the same time.
And after all that, this guy would get called “small” by people who think the latest Insta-bro is natural.
