A question that is often asked from newbie liftersis “What is my maximum muscular potential?”
The McDonald Model
Year Potential Rate of Muscle Gain per Year
1 20-25 pounds (2 pounds per month)
2 10-12 pounds (1 pound per month)
3 5-6 pounds (0.5 pound per month)
4+ 2-3 pounds (not worth calculating)
The Natural bodybuilder Casey Butt has done an exhaustive analysis of top natural body builders and has developed a calculator that will predict a relative Maximum muscular potential and it can be found here. -> http://www.weightrainer.net/bodypred.html
(http://www.weightrainer.net/bodypred.html)A lifter with 7" wrist and 8.75" ankle
Height Weight at 10% Body Fat
5’8″ 189 lbs. 170 lbs.
5’10″ 198 lbs. 178 lbs.
6′ 206 lbs. 185 lbs.
This gives you an idea of what kinda gains you can make on a clean diet and solid lifting program.
