since this is elitefitness and the primary goal of most guys and gals here is to approach their "genetic limit" (whether natty or drug assisted), i thought i'd offer my take on it. i keep hearing the questions "how do you know if there is such a thing as a genetic potential - if that were the case, then how would you know it".
IMO, the term genetic limit for weight gain (at a given BF) changes with time for a given individual. furthermore and most crucially, it isn't an exact number, but is better described by this concept:
The limit of f(x) as x approaches a is L
lim f(x) = L
x->a
if and only if, given e > 0, there exists d > 0 such that 0 < |x - a| < d implies that |f(x) - L| < e
f(x) would be the genetic limit and L the value. ok before someone asks me what x is and how this could be a function dependent on just one variable, the answer is - the concept of limits and the fuzziness of "almost equal" but not "exactly equal" best describes the nature of the genetic potential OR in other words, the genetic potential tends to approach some number.
hope that makes sense - that is just the way i rationalize the issue.
