The Official Genetic Limitation Thread

[spatts]

This thread is for talking about your genetic limits, and the limits of others. From now on, the weekly wrist argument will be moved here. Anytime this topic degenerates an otherwise useful thread, it will be cut and merged here.

I dont think there really is a genetic limit. Progress slows down, but it never truly stops...if it does your not trying hard enough.

What's a genetic limit?

What's a genetic limit?

No legs.


Seriously, if you have fully functioning limbs, and fully fuctioning internal organs, then you have no room to whine about genetics.

This is the last time I'll ever post on this thread.

This pretty much sums it up.

I'm sure there is a point where it would stop. Something to consider though, is that age will start to intervene at some point. Strength gains will slow and slow and eventually your strength will start to decrease. This is of course a fact of life and need not really be considered...the main point is to make the most of what you're endowed with, whether you have piss-poor genetics or that of the elite. This is the philosophy I've always followed.

A percieved "limit" can be for a number of factors aside from genetics:

Weak mindedness, missing limbs, unavailable food, but aside from these type of things, I dont believe "genetics" limits the human body. It is also possible that due to somewhat of a time limit (say 80 years on this earth) there may not be enough time to weigh 650lbs naturally. Use of anabolics and growth can speed the process I believe, but I think if you could eat enough and train hard enough the body would continue to grow. IMO I dont think any of these things can be conclusively proven either, cuz there are so many variables and different types of people. Theories are about as good as it gets IMO.
