What does it takes to be "huge"?

[Islandswole]

Little background on me, I once was a 145-65 wrestler standing at 6ft. Once I started taking “Bodybuilding” seriously I managed to go from 145-215 in a year’s time while actually getting leaner. I was a strict vegetarian at the time and ate a very clean diet, just in extremely large amounts(also I was completely natural). Fast forward to today (a few basic cycles in), I can very easily make it to the 245-250lbs and maintain it while keeping a bf% of about 10-12%. Here’s my where my issue comes in, I find it very difficult to surpass that weight range while staying healthy and not putting my health at a high risk. Also I do not expect to do this overnight.

For the rest of you more experienced Mass Monsters, what was your biggest challenge and how did you achieve your extreme mass?

I’m not going to answer this question because I don’t know but while I think those numbers you are at are amazing and I wish and hope to get there myself I feel like I should add this. Even 250lbs at 6’0 with 12%bf is not considered healthy. I do not mean that it isn’t lean because it obviously is but that weight is not considered heart healthy and by that I mean given the same genetics and diseases to two people over a life time, a person that is 250lbs at 6’0 will not live as long as a person that is 185lbs at 6’0 the heavier weight is more strain on the heart. Now obviously no two people are the same but if there were two of you and both had the same health issues or lack there of the lighter person would most likely live longer. People tend to forget that being huge and lean if fat will still out you in the obese categoy. At 250 you have a bmi of around 33 I think and that is not considered healthy. But I am there with you, I want to be a monster as well.

 

[Islandswole]

Yes sir, completely agreed. Luckily I have had access to ECG, MRI, and CT scans over the past couple years.

I heard mass monsters are typically slow moving, and while I wouldn’t want one to grapple with me, cause I’d be fucked, I like to think my speed would help me live to fight another day.

 

[John]

But obviously I’d like to be bigger

 

[Islandswole]

Haha they probably are, but at my heaviest I still ran a mile in 5 and half though… once I was done I thought I was gonna have a heart attack . I was by no means even close to a mass monster though

 

[Ironside]

Learn to grapple. Problem solved hahaha

 

[Ironside]

I’ve been upward of the 205 to 210 range and on my frame that’s seriously uncomfortable for me. I can’t imagine weighing 250 lol. That said, just knowing what I know… food, compound lifts and the right stacks off and on is the key to growth. To back to the fundamental compounds and lift 5x5 for awhile and I’m willing to bet you’ll put on a few more pounds.

 

[Islandswole]

I’m most comfortable right around 240. You’re absolutely right though bro, going back to 5x5 always gets me out of “tough spots” or plateaus. My issue with compounds is that I’ve even been avoiding HGH and the dreaded insulin protocols. Shit I even avoid running high doses on the compounds I do use.

 

[Raphael3636]

True mass monsters , and I’m talking 280+ are running crazy protocols, I’m talking 3-4 grams gear week, 20+iu pharma GH daily, pharma
igf-lr3 (increlix) , 100+iu slin, in no way shape or form can that even be remotely healthy, also not to mention the cost of everything. Lol not for me my friend, I’m most comfortable at 220lbs 6’ around 10-12% bf

 

[Islandswole]

Haha yes sir I’m aware, I’m only thinking 270 the most. Just something I want to do at least once! I’ll probably hate being that heavy to be honest. I may end up reaching the 255-60 range and realizing it’s not for me.

 

[Raphael3636]

I’m thinking this coming up year I might try to push myself to 250 and see how I feel

 

[Ironside]

Some day I want to try an insulin and hgh protocol just to see where it takes me but 1, I’m scared AF of insulin and 2 it’s expensive as hell to run those protocols. Plus I’ve always been careful about what I run, how and the purpose. I really cant find a reason for me to run it other than my own curiosity

 

[John]

Oh it’s that easy huh,I didn’t say I didnt know, I just wouldn’t want to with someone that outweighs me by a lot, I’d rather stick n move and stay outta his way with my reach,and you said you felt uncomfortable at 205-210 and I agree, the most I ever weighed was 206, last summer, and I loved what the scale said, as I always wanted to hit the 200 mark, but yet like you said, I didn’t feel right, slow and not frisky like I typically am.

 

[John]

That’s pretty good, better then mine, and at a lot more weight

 

[John]

Well shit, 260, I’m just gonna run home, grab my pistol, run back, and hopefully shoot ya.

 

[Ironside]

Shit man if I gotta run from a guy, I ain’t coming back hahaha

 

[John]

Well maybe I will be there on the ground cause mr.255(@Islandswole) laid me the fuck out, are gonna come then?

 

[Raphael3636]

I believe that running GH brings out the full potential of your AAS

 

[Islandswole]

Haha hey bud, I’m a pretty good shot as well
