I’d love to know your source on this because I have found only (1) people relating from “experience” and (2) some theoretical maximum (around 25 pounds in a year) based on the chemical processes involved.
The decreasing ability makes sense as nobody seems to put on, say, 90 pounds of muscle. Above I was referring primarily to people just starting out trying to “get in shape.”
- qeternity 6y agoWith a sample size of n=1 (and lots of bro science online) my experience lines up with this, the so called “noob gainz”. When I first started lifting, strength, stamina and hypertrophy all surged for the first 6 months, and plateaued. Aside from caffeine and whey, I don’t supplement with anything else but I see plenty of people that either have great genetics, or more likely dabble with anabolics in order to get the lean mass that they have.
