I find it extremely hard to believe I am at my genetic limit for muscle retention. According to http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/whats-my-genetic-muscular-potential.html/ somebody my size would only be able to hold ~160-174lb of muscle on their frame.
At my current measurements, I am approximately 161lb of Lean Body Mass (LBM). This means I could potentially already be at my limit, and potentially only have about 10 more pounds possible to gain for the rest of my life. Potentially even less since I am past my peak levels of testosterone.
To the other natty lifters here, do you find those tables to be true? Obviously, people with extremely gifted genetics could have more, but for the majority of men, I'm guessing those numbers are true. I guess it just depresses me a little bit knowing I'm fairly close to my max potential, if not already right at it. I don't feel or look like I am. I posted some pictures in my other thread about 3 months ago, and I definitely still have a ways to go.
