People with amazing physiques in general overestimate their effort and dedication and underplay their genetics. People with shitty genetics tent over play the fact that it’s genetics and under play the hard work

Agreed. A lot of people worrying about their genetic potential should really take a look at whether they’re following a proper program, training with intensity, proper nutrition and doing all of this stuff consistently for at least 5 years before they even begin to think about their genetics.

30 pounds of muscle in five years just to correct the information that would be qualified is very good or elite level genetics as in amazing genetics. In the course of a lifetime as per Jeff nippard’s video the average person can expect to gain 20 to 40 pounds of muscle and so if you gain 30 pounds of muscle in only five years you most certainly should expect to gain at least 40+ pounds of muscle throughout your life. Unless you start training at 15 years of age or are you start off as being someone who’s anorexic dating 30 pounds of muscle in five years is extra ordinary it’s amazing

It took me a long time to accept that my “dream physique” was either, never gonna happen, or going to take an extremely long time. I’m 5’7” and for most of my 20’s, I was 220-240 pounds. Obese, not muscle. With diet an exercise, the lowest I got was 160, and even then, I had man boobs and couldn’t see my abs. During Covid, I crept up to 180, not in a good way, and re dedicated myself to training. Right now I’m 195, still around 30% fat, but I can do 8 pull ups, sumo DL 315lbs for 2-5 reps and bench 190 for 5. My resting HR dips into the 30s and my cholesterol is fantastic. As you probably guessed, at 30% fat, I’m nowhere near a beach bod. But I’m strong, healthy and comfortable in my own skin. Lately my goal has had nothing to do with physique. Just strength and longevity. I never want to be too tired to fix the house or play with my future kids or please my future wife.

Ps - I've seen so many people my age go through divorce, custody battles, division of assets, coparenting with an ex, domestic violence, and on and on.

Skinny calves = bad for bodybuilding, explosive GOD for plyometrics. Someone born to be a world champion Strongman would feel pretty down about themselves if they loved Marathon Running and wished to pursue that.

I have been a runner for the past few years. I am 17 and have been skinny most of my life. I am 5'10 and have been lifting on and off since January ( about 7-8 months) . Pretty inconsistent though. (Due to lack of motivation at the start, and having to skip so it would not effect running workouts, also I was out of town like all summer). I started in maybe the high 130s ( according to some journal entry of mine) , and now I am sometimes in the low 160s. It is very weird though because I do not feel like I put on much weight. I am still pretty insecure about my size. I always feel like the small one, but I am hoping to put on a lot more muscle, and hopefully grow another inch or two. I do not know exactly why I am writing this, maybe because I am feeling very stressed right now about lots of things. But I hope my genetics are good enough to be able to be a very serious and natural lifter one day and it is good to know so many others are on similar journey to mine.

As long as you keep doing what you're doing and exercise every single week you'll be alot better than your competition and most importantly, better than last week. For the stress thing, I have found that journaling helps greatly. Even typing comments like that is journaling, do it on the notes app in your phone, pretend no one will ever read it so you can be honest 100%!, And avoid being all poetic when you journal.

It's almost 2 years since I started lifting. Started with 4 friends who still go to the gym, I outpaced them all in the weights I was lifting, I wasn't the most aesthetic but I was able to do more reps with higher weights and even more reps on bodyweight excercises (despite me being heavier and taller). Right now at 18 my bench pr is 140kg, one of my friends has it at 90kg and the other three are stuck in the 70-80kg range. Also I was a gamer until I turned 17, basically I had no previous fitness activity and was skinny-fat (110kg) I am now at 104kg but a vastly different body composition. I am pretty thankful for my genetics, they may not be the best, especially for size (since I'm not THAT big, but that can be attributed to height too) I am, however, much stronger than my fellow gym bros.

1. Great video and great advice. Thank you. 2. Dr. Casey Butt is not "some dude", and he always made it clear that it is the theoretical maximum if everything is perfect. A VERY simplified explanation of it is, the amount of skeletal muscle humans can naturally hold are highly correlated to skeletal frame size and mass. Ankle and wrist circumference along with height are proxies for that. The last contributing factor is the amount of body fat, the more body fat you have (within reason) impacts the maximum amount of skeletal muscle tissue one can hold on to.

a friend in high school got us both into weight training. he started 6 months before me and then invited me along. in a few weeks i was benching more than he was. Funny thing was that I didn't even notice, we used the same bench and alternated and I just started taking off some weight for his set like it was totally normal since I knew how much he was doing, he was the one who pointed it out that it's unfair that he was working out for much longer than I had been and I was already seeing more gains. So yes genetics plays a role, but also so does psychology, some people just aren't going to notice for various reasons and therefore they will/won't get discouraged.

I've long been interested about the "genetic scale" in bodybuilding/sports, mainly because I have "Extreme Values" examples in my family. Cousin N°1 likes to do some sport and bodybuilding in order to improve his health, but he is suffering from autoimmune diseases making it harder for him to build muscle and/or exert efforts for extended periods of time. Cousin N°2 had an extremely good physique a few years ago, he was competing in a "full-body" sport and among the best in the country, before he had an injury and his coach disappeared within the same year, which made him drop out. 2 years ago, one of his previous team-mates and another guy he was on the same level with, both got a podium in tokyo olympics (in different categories). Now I've noticed that cousin N°1 has some kind of inferiority complex when he talks about sports with cousin N°2.

Hi Guys I'm a 5ft 5 53 year old NATTY Powerlifter. Training since I was 17yrs old. I weighed 80lbs when I started training in 1985 age 15. I now weigh around 147lbs at 5ft 5in. I have never had the genetics for bodybuilding but managed to 'wander in' to Natty Powerlifting! My Best lifts are 462lbs- 320lbs -485lbs single ply @148lbs I know these aren't very impressive numbers , but I enjoy competing with myself. The more time passes the more I realise thatnatty training is NOT an exact science! There are so many ascending and descending factors that Influence my performance.. I can only tell you what is currently working for me. As recovery and inflammation are always an issue for me, I do the following ...... Sunday - Deadlift (rep range 1-5) ...ONLY bi Weekly! Alternating with a light varied Back & bicep workout in the weeks in between. Tuesday - Heavy Bench press (rep range 1-5) Thursday- Heavyish' squats (rep range 1-5) & Light Bench press 3 sets 10 reps...VERY LIGHT ! 30- 40 kg (just to keep the bench groove greased) The only thing that really changes is that if I get any grief from squats , I will dial it back for a week and of super light (EG: 20-40kg super strict for 3 x 5reps) What I have learned , is DON'T feel you have to stick to the program exactly - to listen to your body & don't be too proud to switch to the occasional light easy workout , If your CNS tells you to Good luck ...... Remember some times Less IS More!

I knew a buddy of mine was genetically gifted when he got shredded in 9 months, but he had signs before it. We work for the same entity and we get drug tested normally, so PEDs are out of the question. He was the elementary school bully because he was stronger than most of us (he didn't mean to bully people, he just had a bully type of personality towards his friends. He was nice to people he wasn't familiar with). Second, I was in track and field and he was overweight with less/almost no running experience, but he was running faster than me. 3rd, he was 5 foot 7, overweight, and was able to touch the basketball rim without playing sports or working out. This is something taller people have train to do and he did it like it was nothing.

I've seen people that in a few months gained the amount of muscle I gained in a year. The difference in genetics can be so big. And they start giving me advise as if I was doing it wrong or something, most of their advise are things I already know and apply. I'm not gifted in terms of strenght nor building muscle but I am gifted in agility speed and endurance so, i can play a hockey match without getting tired ever though I'm doing sprints all the time, which is something super cool to be able to do. Genetics are a weird thing.

I'd have to say that I'm moderately gifted in this regard. WITHOUT any kind of consistent exercise program I have always maintained and gained muscle mass throughout my adult life into my 50s and at 56 I got serious about hitting the gym 3 to 5 times a week and now, about two years later, I've made considerable gains over that level. When the general trend is for men to lose muscle mass as they age, I've NEVER done that. I've retained or increased muscle mass instead, due to what I must presume is a combination of genetics and an active lifestyle. In the last two years I estimate I've packed on 10 or more pounds of solid muscle. I bench 315+ and leg press 900+ with full range of motion. I've also dropped some body fat in the same period. For 58 years of age that's pretty remarkable.

You hit the nail on the head Joe just a couple of minutes in when you said “if you’ve been training for 10 years hard” trouble is most gym goers don’t train hard and that’s why we see people don’t change or gain muscle from one year to the next. There’s a simple way to check the rate of muscle. 1 - concentrate on getting a good amount of protein in. 2 - train to COMPLETE failure using a HIT programme. They don’t come better than Mike Mentzers 3 - get enough rest and don’t fall into the “more is better” nonsense After 3 months you will have gained some muscle. It’s then down to genetics on how one person differs from the next.

So cardio does not really affect your gains if you are in w calorie surplus. I guess my genetics aren't "average". However, I was never an active child, never really lifted or played sports and I am 23 this year. Perhaps that also contributed because I have never "used" my body properly.

I agree muscle growth potential can vary across the body. My bi's aren't as good as yours but my chest is better and shoulders only slightly worse (less mass but structurally wider). I train bi's just as much just a weaker muscle group of mine (and then my calves, quads, hams, forearms and tris even weaker). My back width is alright though and I've a symmetrical six pack when around 10 percent so it's not all doom and gloom.

When I was in late teens/early 20s I started BB. 6-7 years straight. Had no idea how much protein was needed (this was pre-social media/early social media days). Went up like 25kg in weight over that time. Mostly protein limited. Hard yakka. Took ten years off, now back at it again with all the experience and proper diet (supposedly you are too old in mid-30s to gain much muscle xD, I didn't get this memo).. ~6 months I managed 30lbs/15kg increase dirty bulking.. basically up there with roids level of gains. I've now cut fat a little further and put on a few extra kg while leaner at 9-10 months. I have above average bone size/density and obviously super lucky genetically (in past when I started when young I thought my genetics sucked.. nope.. it was how i was doing it). I always am conscious that the new guys looking at me in gym will struggle to get such results over years. Each journey is your own, don't think you're not going to get results looking at an outlier like me. P.s. Mike Mentzer approach IS THE WAY TO GO. Modern diet + his program you'll be going up weight/reps basically every week. Better for joints etc etc.

I put on 26 pounds in my first year. I would say 15 of that was muscle. It has slowed drastically and in the past 6 months I have only put on a few pounds. My starting weight was 72kg (158 pounds) and now I weigh 86kg (190 pounds). I'm expecting the progress to be slow because I had such a fast start. I had a break during last summer where I didn't go to the gym for 2 months and lost about 17 pounds of fat and muscle because I was busy working and only ate like 2000 calories in a day. I got it back fast during the fall. Right now I'm the same weight I was 7 moths ago but I have more muscle. It's really weird I don't know.

Lets say he's male, around 16when he started lifting, 5'6, 135lb and has a fairly balance diet like rice, boiled vegs, and steamed fished (occasionally eats unhealthy), eats about 4 meals a day, and is decently athletic. (For context, these are information about myself when I first started lifting)

After years on and off in the gym I would become discouraged because my appearance didn’t change as quickly as I liked. I realized if I focus on progressive overload and diet my motivation stays way up because now my goal is just adding weight after I’m able to do more reps. Then adding sets when the amount of sets feel easy. If reps, weight, and sets go up that’s progress.

Sorry for my bad english. (I Used google translate😅). I want to reflect to this about myself. When I was in junior high school, I was considered to have an athletic body even though I had the skinny genetics from my grandfather. (why can I have an athletic body?). Because from the end of elementary school to middle school, I always exercised, even if it was just jogging and running. My middle school years were a busy period of sports life. Within a week I have an exercise schedule almost every day (except Monday and Friday). On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays I take part in futsal practice from my school and football from outside the school. On Saturday and Sunday I just jog/run and do fitness training for 1-2 hours. However, high school was the end of my sporting life. Why? Because I'm stressed about everything related to sports. Actually, my parents supported this materially, but not mentally. That's why now I know why my body is thin and not fit. because I never exercised anymore.

But they always mention that if you have bad genetics it’s okay, and you don’t have to try. Nah, you should try. Do you know how many talented people there have been in sports? Many, do you know why there’s only 1 or 2 GOATS in those sports? Because usually they worked the hardest. This bad genetic excuse came up some time in the last 2-3 years since it wasn’t something anyone ever mentioned prior to the 2020’s fitness boom.

I've soon trained for 9months, and ive gained almost 10kg. I started at 60kg (never touched a weight in my life), to now weighing anywhere from 68-70kg. I have gained some stomach fat, but im confident that most weight is muscle, since I couldnt even bench 60kg when I started but now my PR is 80kg for 1rep. And 4 reps at 70kg. And ive increased my bicep curls from 8kg to 15kg (8reps each arm). Im lacking in legs though. At first I didnt have proper form when squatting, so i never really felt it in my quads only in my knees even when doing 80kg squats. So now ive decreased the weight to 60kg and im going ALL the way down to the floor with my bum and I can now feel the quads working. But its safe to say I could have gained more weight if I had done legs correctly. Anyways I think I have good genetics but im not sure, It feels kinda "cocky" to assume I have, and stupid to assume I dont. Could also be the fact I was underweight when starting, so the fat ive gained was just my body finally getting enough calories. Sorry for any misspells etc, ENG not my mother tounge.,

Well, I didnt really have a dietplan, I just knew I had to eat alot. At first I was just trying to get used to going to the gym before even thinking about a dieplan. Eventually I had a plan, which was to bulk, so I bought protein powder and creatine which I made smoothies with every day before I went to bed. I had all sorts of things in it, the point was to add as many calories as I could. After my protein powder had run out I just ate regular food but I tried to eat bigger portions. That phase probably lasted 5 months, I had gained somewhere around 3-5kg. (during this time I was unemployed and rotting in my own room xd) After a while I got a job on the road, which meant I had to bring my own food for lunch (obviously), but since I was working on the road I never had access to a microwave so I just ate out everyday which I think is a big contributor to the weight gain. Basically I was dirty bulking and I still am to this day. As for my workout-plan, this is how it looks. Monday - Arms(triceps and biceps), Chest. Wednesday - Back and shoulders Friday - Legs, forearms, calves. Thats about it. This is by no means a good plan, but im still learning along the road and mistakes will happen. Good luck Btw sorry for any misspells, and grammatical errors, English is not my native language.
