For your joints, you might also wish to look into your diet. An n-6 to n-3 ratio that's too high plays a huge role in joint inflamation, especially in a heavy training environment. Make sure that you aren't eating a higher n-6 to n-3 ratio of 2:1 or that you are not deficient in any antioxidents. Try adding a couple tbs of flax seed oil, 6 g of fish oil tabs and a little more vits C & E, and eat more raw green veggies.

I hear you on the genetics thing - I used to piss and moan about how much of a poor little hardgainer I was (lol) but then I started eating 6-8 times a day and whadyaknow I blew the fuck up in a couple of months. My upper body isnt much but my legs have always been big probably because I ran track and played rugby in highschool.. I had 25" thighs before ever lifting a weight.

heavy squats, deads and rack pulls - shit those are the CORE of my training now and they're all lifts I'm relatively strong in but you gotta be objective about it.. they don't make the most pretty looking body. I used to have a 30" waist and a relatively small ass... now I have glutes like a hippo and a 35" waist!

AAP is another guy who looks great and he said he doesnt go over 405 for squatting so maybe it's time to cut back on the macho stuff.

thanks for the diet tips I'll add flax cod liver oil and a multivit and see how that works out

fish oil, not cod liver oil. You would have to take like 40 or 50 cod liver oil tabs to get get the same n-3 fats in 6 fish oil tabs (usually salmon oil), which would of course be enough vit A to cause liver problems.
