Maximum genetic potential question......

[Vision]

okay here is the question. Someone who sits on their ass all day, and gets about 2 seconds of exercise a week when they walk from their bedroom to kitchen to car, and eats 2 maybe 3 meals a day, without any proper balance on their diet, so basically the exact opposite of a body builder. If they were to change all that, and workout 3 times+ per week, eat a high protien, low carb diet, would they notice a different amount of gains from someone who was an avid lifter on the same program ? Or would the develop in roughly the same sort of pattern and time ? I have a little friendly bet going on with a guy I know here. BTW, the person would not be overweight, just someone who is small, like low muscle, low body fat. Keep in mind they have good genetic potential ! What do you all think ? Basically if someone is no where near their genetic potential, will they gain a lot quicker then someone who is close ? Thanks for taking the time to read this and respond

Yes it is, but you will come to a point in life that you will find it very hard to gain new muscle tissue with, even with the use of anabolic steroids. You cannot grow indefinetely.

It's all about adaptation to the environment. A disciplined bodybuilder has pretty much adapted to theirs so you won't see that dramatic of a change in physique. But an out of shape basically slob that is thrown into a strict workout and diet regiment will have some dramatic gains in realation to their present condition.
