Did YOU reach your full potential first?

I think I was close to genetic limit...
I was a ectomorph body type almost 6 ft tall and bodyweight of 180 in college. took weightlifting in college for physical ed credit. got the bug for lifting BUT didn't know how to eat...so I got stronger but not a whole lot bigger. then shortly after college learned how to eat AND train and put on bout 15-20 lbs in 2-3 years and maintained 6 pack abs.

then crossed over... also knew more about eating... results were pretty good. put on another 15-20 LEAN muscle. I would call myself a "descent responder" I look totally different ON than when OFF. on trt I can maintain near all my weight. albeit it is a bit softer and watery

edit: was a fun journey... I started with 13-14 inch arms and put an inch on em every year for 6 years. I had a 14 inch neck and did the same... I turned into a mesomorph. no one would believe I started as an ecto...

F^&K just deleted whole post.Now I have to re-write. and then after typing first sentence of 2nd post spilled ENTIRE coffe of new couch. God hates me today.

Anyways, I feel most of us can train until late twenties or longer without hitting your "genetic potential". It is just that there will be many periods of stagnation that cause frustration. That and the fact that training natural is like a slug crawling his way through a marathon. Many pro bodybuilders and elite lifters start juicing very early and it doesn't seem to inhibit there progress.
