Well, to a certain degree, yes. I mean I'm about 5'7, I started around 13 years ago and was about 150, skinny fat, no abs. Now I'm about 185-190 with abs year round.... BUT I've never really gone past 200 or so and I hit that 190lbs within my first year to two. The only real difference over the past decade has been that i've really, really slowly gotten leaner at that same weight.... first time i bulked to 190 my waist was like 36, now it's about 31.
I just don't buy the idea that I could force feed my way up to 230lbs, and when I cut back down I would suddenly have 19 inch arms instead of 18....I've had 18 inch arms for about 7 years, I think that's genetically as far as I can go (natty) and being far for a year wouldn't change that. Hell, maybe I'm wrong, but it just doesn't seem plausible to me.
