Is it possible to alter our children's genetic structure because we lift?

I think YES. We can modify the genetics of our sons and grandsons. For example. Look at obesity. What is obesity?. Ok, it is an illness, genetic hereditary. But, beyond that, obesity is a mutation or a degeneration of the specimen. How?. It is a product of a long history of poor nutrition habits and inactivity. So with time, that habits are passed over generation and generation. Then, after about 4 or 5 generations, the poor boy will be obese. What happen when a person is fat but not obese?. It is because his parents have very bad nutrition habits and has passed that to the son but the obesity has not been created yet.

So I think the reverse thing happens when we have good nutrition habits and good lifestyle like working out, being active, eating well, being healthy, all that information is passed over our sons and grandsons giving with every generation a better specimen.

Its easier for you to remember middle school biology, you just open your current text book. I didn't say a goddamn thing about gene manupilation or altering DNA. I said healthy parents are more likely to have healthy children than crack addicts who smoke 2 packs a day. Sit outside a fast food joint 99% of the lard ass parents have lard assed little bastards with them.

hahahahaha, also doesnt juice and gh alter our genetics in a way...YES

I am absolutely astonished by this thread.

I really hope people are just miscommunicating as to exactly what is being asked.

I think it's amazing that there are people on here who feel qualified to self medicate with multiple substances, when they are oblivious to the very basics of Mendelian genetics (typically taught about Freshamn year of high school) - here, specifically, the Weissman boundary.

obesity is the result of a lack of adaption, adaption to high-carb diets that is. Mankind never ate so much sugar as the western world did in the last 50 years. The introduction of the low-fat high-carb regimen is only some 20 years old - exactly the same period obesity became an epidemic.
But people are eating more sugar as they should for - depending on the geographic area - for 5000 and more years. Still, most people are not made for high-carb diets and get fat. This is an example of a lack of genetic adaption. And you will find no other genetic change in humans anymore because human evolution has stopped altogether. Evolution is survival of the fittest; humans with the good genes will reproduce more often than humans with bad genes. But this is not the case anymore, more the opposite is reality: a fat jobless sloth is likely to have more children than a careerwoman. Thank the welfare state for that.

In point of fact, Darwin never said "survival of the fittest", he said "survival of the fit." Sorry, just got back from class.
