What do you think about your genetics?

[Brian7676]

I am a very hard gainer, but i found eating right and working can overcome genetic disabilities. I recently put on 4 lbs in the last week and a half and lost some body fat. Its all about putting your mind to it and making your body work for you.

I have pretty good genetics. There are some things that I wish I could break that genetic barrier on to improve... BUT, one things for sure... I DEFINITELY GET PLENTY OF CHICKS!!!

I've got great genetics - get big and strong easy. Huge calves and quads, popeye forearms, strong joints.

Just wish I had the better discipline - but we're working on that.

Get Smart, Work Hard, Diet Hard = Massive and Ripped (repeat 20 times a day)

It took me 15 years of natural training and one test replacement cycle to develop 20" arms, so i wasn't quite sure, so I put average. (I'm tall, so it isnt like a LarryScott 20")

No, Arnold has Apolonian phisique (he said it himself). People like Ronnie/Marcus have Herculian phisisques. Look at his oyoung pictures (when he is 16 and been training for 2 years). Now look how Ronnie/marcus looked before training and you will understand whatI mean. marcus HAD BIGGER muscles than arnold, even though murkus did not work out and arnie did. I guess Flex/Ronnie are similiar to marcus.

I don't know what you've been reading, but I've read several of arnold's books(ok, all of them) and in each he considers his physique(learn how to spell it, bro, alright) to be herculean.

I'm just coming into my own right now. I had a couple of NPC judges tell me I have pro genetics. One is helping me out right now, as I have only really been training hard for 6 months or so.

He told me that I should be able to be a pretty good national competitor. That motivation is what helps me on those days that I don't feel like training. I'm just happy I hooked up with this guy as my training partner. He is showing me a lot of things that would have took me years to figure out for myself.

He has turned out a girl who competed in the Fitness Olympia and he and his brother have competed against Flex and DeMayo. This guy knows his shit. I figure a judge should be able to tell me truthfully without smoke being blown.

I'm not bragging and I'm not saying I'll be a pro, but I am happy that I got the right guidance now in my life...I am 28. Wish me luck. I'm going to need it.

Hang in there dude. When I was 15, I could have slipped through a steam grate.

I come from bird stock, so both my rents are thin, no predisposition whatsoever other than to get fat if you don't watch out.

At 26 or so, my metabolism changed almost overnight. Before, I could eat anything and do nothing, without gaining any weight. Afterwards, I was starting to gain weight, so I decided to start lifting - it worked.

I am definitely not huge, but between building an Internet company, getting married, and having 2 kids, I have been able to get up to 195 lbs (still growing), can bench reps of 260+, and am about 15% BF.

Enjoy it while you can, your metabolism may change soon, it seems to take 7 year cycles for a lot of people.
