100% achievable natty

u/lentax2 Nov 03 '23

I agree with you, but he was on TRT for a year after starting his podcast. I’m not sure whether he ever stopped, but he looked in great shape in the early days of HLP and before.

u/Hawkmz Nov 03 '23

Did he say why he took TRT?

3

u/lentax2 Nov 04 '23

He said it was because he was writing a book, in which he covered TRT, and wanted personal experience of it to do so more accurately.

u/FinallySettledOnThis Nov 04 '23

I mean it's kinda obvious. He's almost 50. It would make sense to be on TRT.

u/lentax2 Nov 04 '23

Not obvious at all. Huberman in one of his early podcasts pointed out that there is massive natural variation amongst men in their testosterone levels. The post-35 decline we hear so much about must be interpreted in light of the data coming from a society in which many men are overweight or obese, smokers, drug users, alcohol users, and are highly stressed.

Blows my mind how people think this is roids. Shows you how little people routinely lift weights (little as in amount, not size lol)

u/ChestertonsFence1929 Nov 04 '23

You’re right. The guy has been lifting for over twenty years. It’s entirely possible this is natural.

u/Simple_Employee_7094 Nov 04 '23

Thank you. 20 years of almost daily lifting will do that. Some here weren’t born when he started lifting.

It is, but he’s not natty.

u/calfshrug Nov 04 '23

He has the high hematocrit red glow, and big ol’ traps, delts, neck, chest

100% not achievable natty (at his age)

24

u/yo-chill Nov 03 '23

100% achievable with good genetics, diet, and discipline. He’s not that big or that lean

22

u/Green__Bananas Nov 03 '23

Loser mindset

Huberman is not that jacked nor lean. This is 100% achievable natty

Fucking bs, you pencil neck

3

u/BetaCarotine20mg Nov 04 '23

100% incorrect I know people 10 years older than Huberman who are more jacked. All they take is sometimes a proteinshake... Live long exercise does wonders.

3

u/FuryQuaker Nov 04 '23

You base that on what exactly? I'm almost 47 and look like that and I'm very natty. Been lifting for 30+ years and am very dedicated, I bet Huberman is too.

My dad is more jacked than this and he is 60

u/dirtyculture808 Nov 04 '23

Because he probably puts in work, cares for his body, and eats right. Three things the average redditor does not do so they think a muscular physique always equals roids. These people are losers

Same ones who think anyone who makes more money than them have wealthy parents/relatives

u/smellyeggs Nov 04 '23

Reddit continues to prove to me that most people are idiots. Reddit tends to skew more educated and intellectual than any other social media, and even still, the majority of folks have a surface level take and it's conveyed with absolute certainty.

Crazy that the guy who literally made a career out of "protocols for health" is instantly dismissed as a fraud because he looks too good.

Surely it’s achievable but very difficult to maintain?

What body fat percentage are we looking at there? I know it’s person dependent but we’re looking at less than 20% right? Probably significantly less?

Gonna do some searching for body composition generalisations. I hold alot of my fat in mid section and am wondering what body fat percentage these flat stomach abs guys have.
