If you believe in the primacy of genetics for bb success someone will call you a pussy who blames his lack of determination and hard work and poor build on bad genetics.
If you downplay the importance of genetics you will be called a delusional who thinks "it's all drugs".
I've been called an "all drugs" guy because I think drugs are critically important and their importance downplayed by many. But at the same time I believe genetics really are EVERYTHING in bodybuilding, all the rest being equal.
If you have "it" for bodybuilding it becomes apparent very quickly but you can't really tell before someone actually really tries. Like Mentzer said, "genetics can only properly be assessed in retrospect".
Some champion bodybuilders will downplay their innate genetics and some will brag about them. Kamali often posts pics of himself on IG praising his elite genetics but in his case I think, "hmm, I don't know how elite his genetics are, looks pretty shitty" At the same time his genetics allowed him to step on the O stage so I guess he has some type of genetics for bb, even if individually most of his muscles look bad.
I'm 32 5'8 and 244 pounds with very little fat.
10 years ago I was a 135 pounds of skin and bones.
Juice was everything for me...just saying.
Lets wait and see how good he is on the field. He had one sack in preseason and is expected to play his first NFL game this week. He looks jacked, but so does clowney who sure hasn't lived up to the hype.
Clowney was a problem for Tom Brady a couple weeks ago with 2 sacks and 6 tackles. Although everyone is getting to TB this year.
I was wondering why your name isn't in red like are other pros on this board. Being big and pumped up on lots of juice does not make you genetically gifted. We have lots of big guys here who are not pros.
Pesty that was his point though. He is stating he doesn't have good genetics so drugs have been a huge help to him. Some guys can be big and very lean natural whilst others struggle to get past 180 in decent shape.
Drugs do nothing to win top shows or make you a champion athelete. Genetics do that. I see plenty of big blob guys in gyms that don't compete because they wouldn't have a prayer over a guy half their size who is gentically gifted. You can not change your genetic structure no matter how much drugs you take to get big. Come to America, plenty of big, fat guys who never lifted if we are just talking about big guys. I thought this thread was about genetically gifted, not how much drugs you can take to get big.

Haha. This is exactly what I talk about with younger guys in the gym that think juice is everything. You either have "IT" or you don't. Period.
Sadly, most just refuse to accept it.
LOL what? Did you forget last year and the early parts of this year ever happened?

Tell us more. How far down do your biceps insert? Wide clavicles? What did your training look like? Diet? How high were your doses?
I'm asking because you may have had great genetics and never even knew it. Or you just busted your ass and were on point with everything and earned everything you gained.
Point is like others stated, you can max out your body to its fullest and look incredible with average genes. But it's the guys with that little extra thing that most of us don't have who are the elites.
Look at his picture today, do you not think if he had focused on bodybuilding instead of football he wouldn't do some major damage? The NFL is full of guys just like him, they would excel in our sport if that's what they chose to do.
For sure, but the only thing is many of them are taller than what is considered ideal for bodybuilders.
