What is the maximum muscular potential of a natural trainer and what does it take to get there? That’s the topic I’m going to revisit today.

I’ve talked about the maximum muscular potential before in the short article “What’s my Genetic Muscular Potential”, where I presented a formula based on a person’s height and body weight on competition day or in “peak condition” (i.e. 5-6% body fat).
