Genetics

[biglizard225]

Its a HUGE factor but some people just don't want to believe it. Sure people can do amazing things with average genetics but the ELITE level athletes are usually the ones with that 'something special'.

Phil Heath and Ronnie Coleman come to mind

Myles has great genetics for football. At 6'4' he would struggle as a bodybuilder. What would he have to weigh?.....340#? Does he have the "genetics" to weigh that?

It is really tough for tall guys. Just look at Lou Ferrigno and Ralph Moeller. Those guys from the 70s-80s. I cant remember any pros as tall as them since. Neither one of them ever won the Olympia or really did well in pro bodybuilding. Lou is listed at 6' 4" and I would believe it because I got my picture with him and I'm 6 foot tall. Ralph is 6' 6". I really like Ralph in Gladiator. He played one of the other gladiators.

You don't think speed and explosiveness is genetic?

You ever heard of Mike Tyson? Was it his muscles that intimidated heavy weights 20-40 lbs heavier than him? Or was it the ability to move like a middle weight in the body of a heavy weight, standing only 5'10, and generating force like a car accident?

thought the thread was discussing bodybuilding genetics, didnt realise we moved off on another tangent

Elvia's pic is more flattering in a bodybuilding sense than the one's posted before ,dont get upset if I dont see things the same way you do, i think there is alot better examples of people in other sports who if they transitioned to bb'ing could possible slap pounds of muscle on themselves
