Natural or enhanced you have to do the same thing, back track, and work on strict and going a lot lighter to work your way back up to consistent poundages to target 12 rep max 80% of 1 rep max for every set of every lift for months. I also recommend doing every set of every lift as 30 rep max 60% of 1 rep max for months to plateau. For enhanced you may have to go off cycle, perhaps use TRT levels, where while off cycle your total testosterone may go down to 300 you can focus purely on muscular conditioning at much weaker lifts before going back on TRT or roids. Get used to lifting a lot lighter, strict, only using good form, and resting 1 minute inbetween each set get a stopwatch this less rest is a lot more challenging and develops alot more conditioning but you develop better recovery from it in the long run being much better at handling your routines without nearly as much soreness. Your routines also take 1/3rd the time to complete so it's a great time saver. 23 sets at 3 minutes rest a set takes 77 minutes to complete, 23 sets at 1 minute rest a set takes 31 minutes to complete. This gives you more time for running and stretching. I personally only recommend 15 minutes of very intense running after a routine but temporary periods of running a hour a day to plateau when you stop improving at time at this go back to 15 minutes a day and periodically go a hour a day of running. You also have to count driving time and availability of equipment at the gym that makes routines take longer so you want to save what time you can.

I really really don’t believe your natty. Your like the only guy that has actual big gains and says he’s natty! Just for your career , not cool. If you are natty please do us test results which could be altered but that would really help your credibility and I’m not the only one who thinks this. Plus your white brother we don’t get like that you know this that is a big give away! You know that. Good luck bud. 💪🏻🤗😊

26:30 That's so true, and it applies to so much else other than weight training too. It's like people don't want to accept that they can and should work harder/change and simply want a reason to complain and an excuse for not taking the necessary steps toward a better version of themselves.

Jeff, the speed stuff that you were explaining at some point is pretty easy to understand under Newton laws. The goal is to increase the power of the muscle (maximum muscle fiber ). P=F*S Power is equal to the multiplication of the Force and the Speed So you have the choice to do heavy then F will increase (F=m*G m: Mass and G is the gravitational CONSTANT). Or you can increase the Speed. Double the Force and keep the speed constant or double the speed and keep the Force constant will lead to the same number of muscle fibers....

Nr1.100% Natural Muscle Person vs Nr.2 100% Steroids,etc... Muscle Person! Both same size and age... In a competition of strength... I will bet my money on Nr2 guy... Human body alone naturally just cannot go as far as someone with ”Extra adds” it will... And I am not talking about Stamina or other stuffs... just about pure raw strength...

Meadows is the man. One thing he does with his content is he talks to the person on gear and the Natty. He then has advice for both sides and acknowledges both need different practices. It's not ridiculously drastic but he knows the Natty can't do as much volume and has to be in tune with nutrition and consistency. It's nice to see. Some say this is the way for everyone and that's just not right. A Natty can't train and recover like someone on gear. A Natty can still get fairly big or very lean but not both to the extreme.
