Allen Cosgrove in Men's Fitness about a year ago gave a formula to determine this. I wonder what other's thought of this formula.

I'm 64. I started out at 148 lbs and got up to 175 lbs. I'm 6'2". My waist increased from 32" to 33" I'm 170 lbs now and with a 17% bodyfat and much weaker due to a bad back, rotator cuff problems, and chronic fatigue which prevents doing aerobic and limits weight lifting. I'm interested in determing in a scientific way when I have reached my limit. I've been lifting over 30 yrs and have a M.S. and B.A. in Physical Education and have read and researched the subject extensively. Cosgrove is the only study I've found on the subject. His research was based on the progress made by Mr. America contestants prior to steroids. He used the fat free body mass and a BMI type calculation.

I went from 148 lbs at age 20 to 175 lbs at age 27.

it would take a good 10-15 years of dieting and dedicated training before one would even come near to reaching the natural genetic potential.

Do not listen to everything you read,the bottom line is you can achieve anything that you dedicate your mind to,you have to change what you`re doing if you expect change,iam age 50 and iam stronger now than i was when i was 20,because i changed the way i worked out ,the way i eat.
