This is honestly one of the most important things Greg has said. 10 plus years. We all need to be patient and trust the process
He forgot to say 9 months to 10 years. 10 years max though. Definitely
@@JZ-xu3vgWell, you certainly haven't reached your genetic limit in 9 months. You must be delusional
@@JZ-xu3vg 10 years minimum
True. Thanks Greg
@@JZ-xu3vg there is no way you can get to your limit in 9 months.
Finally advice that applies to most people who train
Yeah its kind of wild being natty and hearing about "good genetics" in bodybuilding. The majority of the earth isn't on steroids lmao its just a cope for juicers. the most famous ifbb pro doesnt even have big arms, its about social media now not the sport.
Most of what Greg says applies to a lot people. He talks a lot about being obese or overweight... lots of people struggle to keep their weight under control.
Same with making muscle.... putting on 10lbs of muscle in a year is close to impossible to most people. Imagine if you start super skinny or fat, or have never even ran 100m... putting on 10lbs of muscle is TOUGH. Etc.
The internet "bodybuilders" criticize Greg because he keeps expectations low. Instead of doing the typical motivational speech. That motivational talk is actually demoralizing for most people. Some people are actually depressive... after 2 months of trying something super hard, they just fall off. Their mood swings and suddenly it's back to naps and ice cream tubs. If those people think most people can keep a 6pack and gain 20lbs of muscle, when they see their progress, they get demoralized. But actually, most people are actually like them! Most people struggle to keep a 6pack and gain muscle. It is a struggle.
It's the whole "mid physique" syndrome. Alex Eubank is almost a model hahah and yet people call him small, mid and so on. The dude is blessed and incredibly in shape. The internet is insane.
Finally, for us majority on creatine and protein
@@shauncaruna387I fear we're in the minority now...
Hahah you gotta be kidding me, almost all his lifting advice applies to everyone
building muscle slower than last time 🔥🔥🔥
I want to personally thank God for giving Greg a squeaky voice otherwise he'd be the most intimidating man on earth
Jokes on u cause that didn't help Tyson I'd rather wrestle an alligator than Tyson lol
@@officialmichaelvellitrue lol
he can't fight for shit lol
@@officialmichaelvellii think tyson voice actually makes him scarier some how
You realise he’s like 5’6”?
Motivation to stay natural💪
Yep!
Like Greg 💪🏿 😂😂😂
He’s kind of making being natural sound like it sucks…
Like Mike O'Hearn and Simeon Panda
@@muffinboo7765lifting wise it does, but he could make an equally long video about the life long downsides of being not natty
all natty here 49 yrs old bench 295, squats 370, OHP 190, and deallifts 415 just staying consistent but the recovery takes longer lol
Me too, 100% natural, 20 years in game, reaching 35 years old and bench is 355lbs (161.5kg), squat 455lbs (206.5kg), deadlift 600lbs (272.5kg) - so far. I haven't finished and hoping to still gain strength 💪💪
@@danielrx__just be consistent
Good for you guys. Please keep it up and trust the process.
@@danielrx__just make sure you turn up and get progressively stronger. The gains will follow. Stay natural.
@@danielrx__ consistency, when you are 20 years old you evolve very fast.
also even doe genetic plays a factor, I believe that its about pushing the body correctly. People that did not train as young once, dont know how to push their body to get results, they need to push that extra step.
And dont care about what other people look like, or lift. Training is YOUR journey, so fuckk everybody else
Calmer than last time
Turning 38 this september, lifting for 20 years and still making muscle and strength gains naturally. 💪💯
🧢
@@idkwhattodo7170 Why bro?
@@persianfire6139 your natural muscle potential can be achieved with in 5-6 years with proper training and good diet. so this guy diet was bad or he didnt done progressive overload. but i think he is straight up lying. maybe seeing some illusions in the mirror. (no offense here just watch jeff nippard's video)
@@idkwhattodo7170 bro even after 10 years u still make gains, as in like, 0.3 pounds per year, lol
@@johankaruyan5536 not worthy if you love making gains
THESE are the videos i missed
Can’t appreciate the transparency here enough.
More transparent than last time
Natural is the way to go
Finally bro is calm and not screaming his soul out
Love from iraq ❤️
Good stuff coach! 👍🏼💪🏼💥
Great info. I appreciate sharing the most important things early on and saving the promotions until the end.
More educating than the last time! I think I should buy your cook book 🤩
Just want to say thanks for these consistent uploads. Especially right now seeing everyone on insta trying to take you down and censor what they don’t want to hear. How can we grow when we can’t share opinions? Anyways ima just chill out and enjoy this vid but thought I’d put this out there
I appreciate that!
Videos like these are the reason I subscribed. Keep it up coach Greg! The long road is not always the easiest, but it’s the most rewarding.
Love it! thank you coach Greg!
Being a natural for about 50 years now I don't worry about muscle size as much as muscle density and strength. I'm 70 now and as a RUclips influencer I always preach diet first and then consistency. Think of the gym as a playground that you can have fun in. Enjoy the journey. You need to be more concerned about when you get older not what you look like next week. Strength will help more then big muscles as you age.
Be 72 in 2mths. natty for life, 100% agree! Have been as big as 254 lbs. now 195! Still strong but not like when younger at the heavier bodyweight!
Muscle density… there’s no such thing. Density is a measure of mass to volume. Muscles never increase in that way. One cubic inch of muscle will never get heavier, or become more dense. It’s science - medical science. Studied and proven science.
Size = aesthetic
Strength = utility & longevity
Another thing that the young need to remember is that most women are repulsed by the huge monstrosities who win male beauty pageants.
Coach Greg being more upfront and personal than last time.
Great video. This is very sincere and genuine. Thank you. Subscribed.
Informative as usual
thanks for the information Coach Greg. I can’t appreciate the transparency enough and yes, being natural is the way to go 👌
Great work Greg keep em coming
Thanks again coach!
Love your videos bro
Thanks Greg, you have motivated me to stay natural. I was considering Peds for a long time but this talked me out of it🙌 Go Gym!
Awesome video, coach greg
Thank you. This really opens my eyes. We need to be patient and happy with our progress. And work hard.
Thanks for the video Greg!
Coach Greg is more underrated than last time.
I did a post on TikTok and tagged you in it regarding being a natty and how I will stay natural appreciate all the good content coach
Thanks for supporting us naturals
I have been watching Greg for probably a bit over a year now, that's when I got into fitness and in that time I've consumed a lot of fitness content and learned a lot about something that I enjoy. and honestly Greg definitely seems to have the most knowledge about this side of fitness or at least he has explained and said the most
Now this is a truly valuable video! Thank you, coach Greg! You've been inspiring me for years and I've passed your knowledge to many others. My favourite quote of yours which I use all the time is "it's all about balance".
Greg the goat if the fitness industry. Love you Greg thank you for the positive influence you have on us.
So happy I came across this video.great stuff
Coaching videos! Thanks, less videos dissing other videos more Coaching coach greg haha Thanks I enjoy the content!
Great video Coach!

Thanks Coach Greg
Long time follower. Thank you for this video.
Another great video!!!
Love being a natural bodybuilder. I'm 42 and I'm in the best shape of my life. Hopefully will get my pro card this year in natural bodybuilding show. Came in 2nd the past two years
Your time is now
Hope you come first this year 💪🏽
Nice work...stay natural ..(live long and prosper.)
Hey can I ask what federation you compete in? I’m trying to decide myself.
@@rjinge927 You can ask,... but I'm a private person and I'm long retired.. you have to make your own decisions in life based on what you know and your own ability .
Love this video! I’m a career natty and this was awesome. You changed my life Greg, Thank you!
Great video coach ❤!
Great video
awesome video!
Good advice, Greg. For the algorithm 👍
Greg, this is one of the best videos you’ve ever made. Thank you so much.
C. Greg, you look great now and at your peak you were an amazing bodybuilder! Lots of hard work and dedication.
These educational videos are still my favorites, way more entertaining and useful than the drama type videos
Great video Greggy boy
More inspirational than last time 👍
Great video Greg. More like this please.
Your very very spot on
I wish this video come out 12 years ago. These information are so incredible. Thank you Coach Greg!
Saving lives harder than last time 👍🔥
The right video at the right time 👍
Rich Pianas video where his gf is recording him and he's in the middle of losing consciousness scared me enough r.i.p Rich
It’s crazy how he was so strict about the kind of food he eats for his body yet he stacked steroids with drugs and injected oils. And all of that just to die
Well that 1 of other thing. His opiate use. Or ghb. Or a hypo from insulin
We shouldn't speak of the dead 🙏🏼
@@truthteller.., why? They can't get mad. And we should learn with their mistakes.
@@bellycurious keep on and you'll see why when you die.
Great video. Want to show this to my folks because they're considering starting weigh training soon
Thank you 💪🏽🫶🏼
This is probably the best video you’ve ever done. Very informative and brutally honest about PED usage. I am 65 years old, have lifted since my teens. I still enjoy it, even though I need to drop a lot of body fat. It’s hard to lean out and maintain muscle at my age. It was easy before age 45. I need help dialing in my diet. I’m dropping body weight but I noticed my lean mass dropped significantly. Any advice for an old guy would be appreciated. Keep educating the younger lifters, you are very knowledgeable and entertaining.💪👍
Best episode from Greg, addressing the masses in a super accurate and realistic manner
Good morning my friend and thank you for sharing your information and knowledge because this was Another amazing video
Great video!!! Tell the world the truth!!!
💯 right!! It’s so hard to be natural. This video is exactly right. You really need to have a great diet & work extra hard. Think of being natural as a fun challenge ❤ Thanks
great vid
Good video, more videos for beginners!
Finally video not about drama! Thanks
Wish you would remake this video and re-upload every week! People, myself included, need to be reminded of all this regularly. This is possibly the best video I've ever listened to! Thank you Bro!
I can say i busted my shoulder and didnt lift for 3 years . I barely lost any muscle and gained it back very quick. 39 years old and natural
Boosting the algorithm
Thank you Greg. I’m 25, 1.5 years into dedicated natural training. I was contemplating a small beginner cycle. But you are right. I’m in a marathon, not a sprint.
Damn, I just opened Instagram for 4 reels. I need to cycle
Do not start a cycle.
Don't do a cycle
Dude 1.5 years is nothing.
@@Alex-1611 do you think rad 140 or anavar is safer ??
Thought I had hit my limit a dozen times over the years. Just broke my bench record at 50 years old.
What a wonderful video =)
Man I'm suffering from a back injury. I'm just happy to visit the gym tomorrow to get some dopamine, I havent properly exercised in weeks (also dus to depression and the flue). Gimme strenght
We gotta lift man let's gooo
Very positive video and realistic. Too many lifters have unrealistic expectations for being a natural. It's harder in my opinion because the gains are harder to see and require a lot of consistency. Thanks for the video.
Thanks you can tell you meant what you said with passion normal people need to hear this from someone like you 🙏 keep up the amazing work your really changing lives RUclips is a better place because what you do 👍💪💪💪🏋️♂️
Nothing inspires me more than a good dose of coach Greg lately 😊
Number 7 the most motivational for me as a natural!
Problem for naturals are injuries, colds and other illnesses where you need to take a break. Getting back on track takes weeks, sometimes months.
And also the progress itself. Gaining muscle; staying lean; and getting actually strong takes a LONG time and an outstanding consistent effort.
A 315 lbs bench is massive. This would be an outstanding milestone for most people. Yet... social media makes it seem like entry level 😂
@@emartinezrSocial media is the biggest problems in majority of situations. It makes the filtered and fake seem like the normal and it makes the 1% of the 1% look like it’s everyone.
@@emartinezr Yeah this annoys me too. I am 30 years old and I am a beginner (4 months) in the gym. I do incline bench at the gym 42kg (92lbs) 3x8. I know I'm weaker than average but I used drugs heavily for the past 8 years and my weight was 60kg (132lbs) and I'm 6ft tall. Then when I stopped the drugs, my weight increased to 104kg (229lbs) but all the strength and muscles I had gained during my life were gone. Now I am 94kg (207lbs) and as strong as when I was 14-15 years old. But I'm in the gym 5 times a week to improve myself
That’s strange, I don’t get sick at all since I started lifting, running, and eating right with proper sleep to boot! I lift weights for myself, not to impress or compete with people.
@railasvuo I guess the drugs do destroy your body but I see no problem especially for your age to get good gains and come close to your genetic limit, also 4 months is nothing just keep at it train hard like you mean it and eat enough, I'm sure you will be amazed at the difference after a couple years of training when looking back
The supplement advertising all in one go is muuuuch better than videos where it's sprinkled in every chance he gets
ya I totally agree I'm 28 still hitting prs Just maxed 345 on bench
Good stuff homie! Yeah I’m 35 and hit 225 for a PR of 20 reps…in my 20s I was lucky to do it 10 times
Coach Greg is the GOAT❤
Man, sometimes i think of taking something, but these kinds of videos stop me and make me not ruining my life.. Thanks Greg.
Steroids are a waste unless your guna stay on a dose of TRT between cycles
I’ll be honest and say that Greg saved me from taking steroids. I didn’t know much about the side effects at the time but contemplated taking orals since I was scared of the injections and getting some sort of infection. That said, I have been a life time natural and hit a 305 bench although I’ve lost some progress and sitting at 290 bench right now at 25.
greg stating facts harder than last time!
Muchas gracias amigo 👍
Appreciate the info Greg! Really provided the direction I needed as a true natural. Ill be starting my steroid cycle next week
Ill do cycles and come off for years. I enjoy training both naturally and enhanced. The key is to fall in love with the process of training and how your body looks in both stages.
Well said Greg As a natural athlete, at the age of 79 I can testify to this that it's been a looooooooong road to where I am now once those gains are there it's yours to keep! 💪 💪 💪
Dr here spirtin facts. Did 1 cycle about 5y ago and never felt the same after
Can you reiterate mate
@@brandeenio99 after the cycle I've become more meh about training and life n general. Pump is not the same, recovery takes longer, in my case of course. Right now I'm seriously considering doing another one and maintaining it just for the uplifting feeling that it gives
I refuse to downplay my genetics. I was 175lbs running track in highschool at 5'9" about 10% body fat like actual 6 pack and road map forearms.
Both my parents passed down genes that gave me a massive edge, I am only now hitting the gym in my 20s, I had no idea how unique my situation was.
Having 17" arms after spending only 5 months in the gym is what I got from what I believe are top tier genetics. I definitely train hard but I know it's a lot easier for me than others.
And if you pay attention to RUclips opinions.... you got a trash physique.
You're probably the envy of most people at the gym or at any regular sporting stituation. Yeah perhaps not elite or whatever... but definitely far above average, and who knows maybe elite. But I don't know lol, maybe you do.
Yep same exact scenario. 175lbs 5'10 . Ran 10.8s in my junior year of high school. In my first year and I look like nattys who have been lifting for a decade. It seems so easy but I think for most it's not.
@@itstheredwiggler5369 it's easy to take things for granted. I wasn't educated well on lifting as a kid and had no idea back then I was decently built for lifting.
You are spot on about looking like some who lifts from baseline, except my chest looks extremely mid until I work it lmao.
