Rumored Question for all you Sherdog muscle hut dudes-about Jon Jones

[kflo]

Read this study on men taking testosterone(600mg/week) vs. men not taking it and their muscular gains if you want to an idea of what happens when natural people lift weights: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejm199607043350101

Cliffs(on muscular gains alone) are summed up by this image at the following link because I assume the majority are not actually interested in reading that study: https://i2.wp.com/www.nutritiontactics.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/1.-IG.png?resize=600,600&ssl=1

What is your conclusion?

For a normal person, next to impossible. For the GOAT Jones, too easy.

Half the world put on 15 lbs since March...

What is your conclusion?

That nobody naturally puts on 15lbs of muscle in 90 days time. I don't think Jon claimed he accomplished that anyway, I think he just stated that he weighed 240lbs.

Agreed. Jon never claimed it. Chael just trolled and some here cluelessly lap it up.

It’s not possible and he didn’t do it.
15 pounds of scale weight with some abs still visible for someone who is 6’4 and lean? Yes.

Alan Arogon's Natural Lean Muscle Mass Gain Model
According to Aragon, advanced trainees near their genetic potential are lucky to gain 0.25% to 0.5% of their total body weight gain as fat-free muscle per month. That makes the 10-pound-gain claims of already ripped celebrities seem outrageous, right?

In my opinion, it's rare to see a natural bodybuilder or fitness enthusiast close to their genetic muscular potential gain more than 2-3 pounds of lean muscle in a year. This is why it's an accomplishment when experienced bodybuilders manage to gain 7-10 pounds of fat-free muscle in a year.

You have to remember Jon is no where near a bodybuilder physique. If he was already jacked I would agree. But he is lanky and has a lot of room to fill out.

It's possible. Mac did it.
