Intro

StrongLifts Muscular Potential calculator

This spreadsheet calculates the maximum muscular potential for men. It’s based on Casey Butt’s
research on top bodybuilders before steroids existed.

Enter your height, wrist, and ankle size in the yellow columns. You’ll get your maximum lean mass
and body-weight. You’ll also get more realistic 95/90% goals - the former being a good lifetime
goal for natural lifters. And you’ll get maximum muscular measurements for your chest, arms, legs,
and neck.
I’ve added Reg Park’s stats for comparison. The idea isn’t to get to his size as this is unrealistic for
most people - he was one of the best. Instead, it serves as reality check for people who think they
can get bigger than human genetics allow. Reg Park didn’t have 20” arms, you probably won’t
either.
These predictions assume you do an effective training program like StrongLifts 5x5. It also
assumes you eat well and are consistent. Check out the program at http://stronglifts.com/5x5/
