@@legitmusicgaming4749 barely anyone wants to be Mr Olympia either. Even with average or below average genes you can still look better than 95 percent of the population with lifting weights
It doesn’t matter if you think you have good or bad genetics. You won’t know until you start training. All you can do is your very best, so get started and keep going. One step at a time. Every ounce of muscle you gain is something you didn’t have before, an accomplishment you should be proud of.
Facts. It’s all about bone structure and muscle length/placement. The only thing having a heavy fast twitch fiber composition does for you is makes you stronger/more explosive in proportion to how much muscle mass you have. I have a higher than average fast twitch 1 and 2 composition, and it actually somewhat contradicts what he’s saying here. I don’t look very bulky but I surprise people with how much I lift and can sprint a lot faster than most muscular sprinter body type guys (I’m a college 400/800 runner). Both fast twitch and slow twitch muscle will hypertrophy when trained correctly, and it doesn’t effect size.
@@carsonmalleet4367 i got the same situation just that im not fit looking quite fat i guess. But im also quite fast, upper body strength is about average, lower body strength tho. Now that ive lost 20kgs and gotten even stronger. Feels nice but even now im 77kg and not lean like bruh cutting takes ages
Genetics that actually matter: your skeleton structure, your height, your muscle insertions. Genetics that dont matter: whatever the fuck was said in this video
Lol yeah I’m explosive with fuck all calves and generally small bone structure (wrists and calves mostly) even my legs have muscle but are still quite slender. This is quite shit for bodybuilding, unless I hop on some stuff maybe (so it will fill my frame beyond the natural limit ).
@@jangerloff3521 if your legs are slender maybe train them hard and consistently.Building muscle is a game of decades. You dont always need to hop on stuff. My forearms looked like twigs 3.5years ago but now they are one of the best body part in my physique.The point is dont ever quit.
@@sandiestrope2419 not planning on hopping on the juice man. I want to stay natural and plan to train till I’m of old age. I will try and hit them more ( I have been lately and it does work). Just the calves and forearms are really hard body parts for me, while shoulders , back and chest grow quite fast.
The fact you didn't include the last one just so you can make another video for some click bait shit made me click the do not recommend this channel button
I can now see I have terrible genetics, I was skinny as sht as a kid, never eat, and am terrible at sprinting. Somehow I made Elite Varsity in my second year of ever playing this sport for the states top school and the 28th in the nation. Genetics mean nothing if you put in the work 💪 You got this brah!
I agree with you. Everyone can build muscle and a person with bad genetics can easily be stronger than one with good genetics that doesn train. People with bad genetics may take longer to look a certain way but they still can.
Gotta disagree there. In my boxing days I watched a super athletic kid with no experience, beat up a national champion for two rounds until he got tired in the third. That kid went on to win two national titles in under 20 fights. Some people's gifts can't be matched with any level of hard work. Sad reality.
Some of it are slight indicators of good genetics for bodybuilding. If you have capped or broad shoulders,small waist in your teenage years you are going to have a better V taper which is essential for bodybuilding. If you have a large mass to your frame BEFORE training that means you have more potential for mass. Mass builds more mass. This is coming from me, a person with well above average genetics as I do Olympic weightlifting and I look like a bodybuilder,I'm a natural sprinter,naturally explosive,broad shoulders+small waist,terrible diet and still making gains long after noobie gains.
Fast twitch fibers make for bigger muscles. You can train slow or fast, but if you naturally show signs of good fast twitch fibers, you should have the leg up.
I started working out consistently in 2020 when I was 13-14. I’d always doubted myself because I was fat, but I’d always have a great performance in explosive sports like weightlifting in middle school without training. I remember distinctly, maxing out our leg press machine for a few reps to impress some girls, and always being good at physical gym sports despite never training. Despite that: I’d start working in 2020 due to boredom in the pandemic, and about two months after I dropped 20 pounds. It was nothing special just basic calisthenics, and a small amount of dumbbell training, but I started seeing results, that I never expected. I gained confidence and kept going harder with an organized schedule, and I started getting compliments on my physique from other people, and I just felt better. Three years later and I feel like a complete idiot for not getting into sports earlier. I have great genetics for weightlifting, and In mid 2022 my friends roped me into the local gym. They wanted to see how I’d do with weights, since I’d only gone on and off with dumbbells and mostly relied on body weight exercises. I pulled 315 on deadlift and 155 on bench, with horrendous form on both ( my back looked like a U on the deadlift, and I took almost 30 seconds on the bench because I thought you were supposed to go really slow.) I haven’t been able to go back due to transportation issues, but I’ve been working harder, and gotten even stronger. It’s entirely possible that the majority of people have decent or even great genetics, but their just not working out due to self confidence issues, just like I did as a little kid. You never really know till you try and even if your genetics suck, then you still have room to improve in your own areas. Genetics are no excuse to quit, and most people have alright or even good genetics for working out.
Some kids are just built different. This kid in my weights class could bench 325lbs, trapbar deadlift 550lbs, and squat 400lbs while only being a freshmen. Dude is a beast.. honestly he's built to be a Strongman.
The only difference genetics is going to make is if you have zigzag abs or spaced pecs markus ruhl had obvious zigzag abs and never won a competition because of this but he still clearly was larger than his competitors. In bodybuilding competitions, size isn't everything, it all comes down to who's abs look the most uniform apparently.
I’m 3/3 and just decided to start body building 3 weeks ago I’ve been athletic and training but never trained to body build I love it so far. Work outs are insane.
They’re all silly and unscientific claims but that one might have been the worst. Hunger is entirely in the brain. The more you eat the more you can train yourself (your brain) to become resistant to leptin, the hormone that suppresses feelings of hunger. It could never be an issue of how much you can’t fit into your stomach lmao
In a year I am going to show my two photos of one being 210 lbs and one 155 lbs with muscles. Now I am 160 lbs still training for 6 packs. What I want to say is don’t be fooled by these kinds of people. Hard work pays off no matter what kind of genetics you have and how small the bony structure is your body. You will improve. Just keep up the good work. You will achieve.
The emphasis “bodybuilders” have with genetics is over exaggerated greatly. Everyone can build a fantastic physique regardless of their DNA. The only time it becomes an issue is in the upper levels of competition, the pro ranks at the biggest and most prestigious events. That’s when DNA and genetics becomes a factor. For everyone else.. stop over thinking it.
Well my brother and I have the same parents, obviously. Yet he has olive skin and I don't and he has dark hair and eyes and I don't. We both started lifting together and atenearly the same meals and even thiugh our lifts where almost all equal in strength as we started together he after 12 months was accused every where we went of being on steroids, no-one could even believe he was natural. Do you now how many people thought I was on gear, no one. Most people could hardly tell I had gone to the gym for 12 months. Even gentics in the same family is different. You can't tell me otherwise as I saw the results first hand. Some people have more fast twitch muscle fibres, more optimised hormones and higher testosterone. It's just the way it is
Spoken like someone that haven't worked out for more than a month. This is just false. Someone with superior genetics for muscle hypertrophy with 3 months of training can have a much better and bigger physique that someone that has been training for 3 years and that could really be demoralizing. Genetics play a major role at every level of muscle gain, not just for the pros.
@@vienkyngo I’ve been exercising since I was 13. A good diet, consistency, and knowing what you’re doing in a gym has always outperformed every so-called “genetically gifted” person I’ve ever seen.
A colleague who's a state champ kept telling me to build up my body as he said I have great form, decade later I tried working out and my body turn out great and motivated me to increase the work until I believe I over did it and was in pain for two years
I am a 14 year old Indian teenager and i have so much of muscle definition already but on the upper body and my forearms and abs are so hard , even my back also is above average in terms of muscularity that's why I thought I don't need to exercise because I am already strong enough but now I think I have to do in order to make my legs comparable to my upper body ! , I inherited these physical features but I am insecure about my legs ,,, they also have good muscle definition but they look smaller ! and my muscle control is just too bad ( talking about my arms only ) and I feel like my lower body is more active and faster and my upper body have more strength but the problem is I don't have muscle control as people normally have and I run so fast but Since my upper body weight is more than my lower body , I can't handle myself while being in full speed so, I always have a fear of falling ! , well I already fell many times 😅 . pls give your views ( only if you think to help me ) about why my muscle control is so bad at particular areas ? ~ [ * SORRY IF THERE'S A GRAMMATICAL MISTAKE 🙏😅😅 ] my height - 5 feet_7 inches grip strength - 75 kg weight - 51 kg metabolism rate - so high 🙁
I have a very very good appetite lol. But then that doesn't mean i have the very best genes for muscle building. Btw was never skinny though. And the biggest challenge for me is to get lean rather than gaining muscle.
Same for me, I could build pretty decent muscle, the problem is that my body doesn’t even know what metabolism is and I’m 17. Noting hurts more than seeing others at my age that don’t actually have to put in work to stay slim because they just have a good metabolism as it is. Meanwhile I have to actually eat healthy and exercise, I have lost some weight though but I still have more to lose, luckily I’m not extremely fat but I have noticeable body fat that I want to get rid of

My dad was a body builder, and growing up I trained like crazy (In martial art), and I have a skinny build, but once I get into my fighting stance My muscle just appears, it’s weird, almost as if I have a muscly form, If anyone here can help me overcome the problem (I don’t want to be skinny when doing nthn and only get bulky when I get into fighting stance) that would be a great help
@@joaopedroandsan2172 nah I don't think so. I believe this video is just nothing but biased stuff that he is saying. I'm 15 and let's just say that I might of gotten the worst genetics that my parents have. But I still work out and damn as someone who has bad genetics don't let that stop you cause even I was a fat kid and in 2 years I was able to change my physique in a way that makes me feel more comfortable to go walk around in a tanktop.
It doesn't matter if you have good genetics you can pass fitness as long as you have determination, confidence and always staying in shape in your fitness goals, Financial goals or anything you can pass and succeed in life.
I’m 6’2, weigh 150, i have broad shoulders, I’m athletic even though I don’t work out, can run a mile in under 5 minutes, I’m always hungry(certain examples are when i ate 2 entire large pizzas or 2 entire watermelons, most recent big meal was 3 days ago when i ate 5 cheeseburgers, 4 pounds of french fries, and 10 chicken nuggets), i was way bigger than everyone else in elementary but was very small for most of middleschool until i started getting growth spurts, oh i also easily gain muscle so there’s that So i think i got the genetics for bodybuilding, i just dont have the motivation or determination
You sound skinny af. In fact you’re on the lower end of the scale for a healthy weight. Dude my bro is 5’10 and is almost 200. You need to step it up. And if you were lean in middle school…you’ve basically proved the video right. Start eating more.
I have Kay cutlers genetics. Wide hips, wide shoulders and im only an inch shorter than him. So my back workouts are usually all around widening exercises. One good thing about having wide hips and a short stature is it’s easier for you to gradually lift heavier and heavier.
@@just_aaaaly84 the person with good genetics just doesn’t have to work nearly as hard. Case in point, I can train once a week and maintain more size and strength than 85% of people in gyms 5 days a week. I’ll never quite understand why people feel the need to workout so often because I’ve never had to train that much to gain a satisfactory amount of size and strength.
Sounds like my bff. She has solid shoulders and back muscles despite never working out or even participating in any sports, once socked a bully's tooth out with what she still to this day says was a "light punch", and has a monster appetite but doesn't seem to gain weight. Might try convincing her to try out lifting weights
Genetics only coming to play when you're trying to compete and genetics only makes it more difficult to gain but if your diet work out and gear / enhancements is on point everyone can look like a bodybuilder walking around just not competing with other bodybuilders
Don’t worry about your individual potential. Potential is only the expression of a possibility, something that can be assessed accurately only in retrospect. Or in other words you'll never know how good you might've become unless you try, so let’s get with it.” -Mike Mentzer
When I was a skinny kid I did 100 push ups and sit-ups for 5 days, bc I didn't really know it took more time to develop muscles so I gave up, also I lost weight from working out which wasn't good... I might have worked out from time to time but I never went all the way. Until I was 13 I suddenly had a little bit of inspiration to workout more often I had 8 workouts I did 3 times everyday. One day I went to my grandparents house and got to visit my dad, and my dad being somewhat of a bodybuilder he would always have a little wrestle with me, but the whole week I was there I didn't workout, so I felt a bit weaker so when I got back home I started working out again doing my usual workouts, but before I went to my grandparents I was developing bicep, shoulder, forearm, and back muscles at a decent amount I was definitely seeing results but I didn't really know about taking break days for better results and I was all natural without a diet so I didn't get great results but it was results. When I got home I was a little rusty but I remembered my workouts and somewhat of a schedule but a week back at my house I got sick, really sick my throat was sore, my muscles were sore, and I coughed daily but I think I was hitting puberty while I was sick mostly because while I was sick I was developing a voice deeper than batman's and I grew 3 inches taller in 2 weeks but I was sick for 3 weeks and I felt hot, my body was on fire I sneezed and stayed in bed daily, but when I was healthy again I was really rusty, barely remembering my workouts and 1 week later... I gave up.
Don’t let genetics get in your head. Many of the greats didn’t have them. In Arnold’s book even he admits his calves were not gifted. He forced himself to wear shorts so he would push himself harder in the gym to grow them.
I relate to some of these things except a strong appetite. Eating is a chore to me, but some days i'm hungrier than others. I heard eating more carbs can make you hungrier
Genetics includes your brain. As in are you disciplined? And desire. As can you see the end goal or only what is in front of you today and tomorrow. Can you maintain your desire/dream long enough to reach your end goals.
The answer of having a good or a bad genetic can be obtained through training and lots of hard work, plenty of rest and a good diet . It's that simple.
That’s definitely not a myth lmao, in order to get very big you need to eat at a surplus. most of the top bodybuilders and powerlifters are consuming over 5,000 calories a day.. eating a lot is the key to making gains
@@Artikulate-fd3eo Eat big to get big is vague though. Some take it too literally and eat everything in sight. It doesn't take a moron to figure out that bodybuilders eat a lot but they don't mindlessly eat calories.
@@Artikulate-fd3eo well, if you are on roids, yes eat big and you can get big without fat, if you're natty you're super bulked, which means you'll have more fat gain than muscle gain
@@srachar the main thing about roids is just fast recovery which allows for more volume. You'll still put on fat if you're in a surplus but you can lift everyday & make 5 yrs worth of gains in 1 yr
@@gavinclements482 For most people on roids, it doesn't really make that much of a difference. There's only a select few who actually benefit from roids.
the appetite thing is so true, that is my biggest bottleneck and probably for most people too plus it has to be a clean high protein diet too which is even harder
I was sick most of my childhood. instead of eating food and playing sports. I was in hospitals getting surgeries. so I was the skinny kid growing up. it sucks because it stunted allot of my potential. now days I have to work hard just to maintain 130lbs at 5'7
I was really bad in football that i got kicked from a club and was sitting on a bench in an academy for like 2 years until i got really upset and depressed because of it. However i started bodybuilding now it’s my 6th month and i think im getting bigger in fast weird way and i started to get in shape. It’s sad to know that information now 🤣
I don't train very much, and by that I mean barely, but I can jump higher than most kids my age(16) and hight and I have suprisingly good endurance, but I kinda struggle to gain muscle mass, yet I have an enormous appetite.
Good endurance can mean a higher concentration of slow twitch muscle fibers compared to fast twitch(actually visible muscle that grows in response to resistance).

How you respond to the effects and side effects of peds is a huge genetic factor in bodybuilding also. Amd ability to stay lean while eating in a surplus
For me it was when I was accused of being on steroids in middle school. I was just super athletic and didn’t work with weights at all just played sports year round. I don’t lift weights even today and I still am fairly shredded. Also never had a higher body fat percentage than 12% but average around 7% with my lowest being 4.3%.
Even though I have good genetics, that shit doesn’t matter. My fathers whole side of the family works out constantly and are all built and my best friend as a kid, was half my size. I was like 125lbs 5’8” in high school and he was like 100lbs 6’2”. Today, he looks like a navy seal. Still 6’2”ish, but over double the weight. He weighs like 230lbs now. He’s a fucking mister. Legit looks like a professional body builder. He isn’t big to where he looks like a chunky guy that started lifting either. He’s Fuckin shredded. You don’t need genetics, you need dedication
I can't tell you how many times I've been scoffed at by obese people when the topic of dieting comes up and I say that I struggle to eat enough to gain weight. In America, not eating enough is apparently a pretty rare problem that most people wish they had instead of having to eat less. I hate it though. Gaining weight has been a painfully slow process for me lol
The major predictor of smo having great genetics is the length of their collar bone or in general their shoulder to hip ratio, when people with wide collar bone and narrow hips starts to workout they'll end up with amazing physique but others with super narrow collar bone will look not so good even after yrs of hard work. Therefore; WIDE COLLAR BONES = GREAT GENETICS 👍otherwise not so good and even though working out can make u feel better abt urself and u will obviously see changes in ur physique u will most probably not end up becoming a body builder
All of this is from my current understanding of sports and bodybuilding 1. Fast twitch muscle fibers are trained through fast twitch motions, like a punch or sprint, not a squat or bench, so slow twitch muscle fiber genetics are more deterministic for bodybuilding 2. How big you were as a kid can have some indication of how much baseline mass your body holds but not your insertions, training response, or metabolism 3. Having a big appetite will be great if you’re bulking but to get stage ready if you want to be a bodybuilder it will also make it more difficult to cut
I think my friend has good genetics i been doing calisthenics for months and when i finally got some bit results my friend catched me up like it was nothing in just a month doing gym T-T
Used to know a guy that would complain about being skinny and swore he just didnt have the genetics to build muscle (was always talking about my genes, his brothers genes, etc. and how he didnt have it) But every time I ate with him he'd literally only eat half his food (like a ritual or something) and leave the rest on the plate It wasnt his genetics, he was just constantly depressed and didnt have an appetite imo (and didnt know how to "force feed" himself a little bit)
I dont feel appetite has much to do with genetic luck of the draw, Ive gone through periods in my life where I had no appetite and I'd say majority of it has to do with stress levels and who you surround yourself with If you're around a bunch of skinny guys that dont lift I bet your appetite will become less and less and my appetite is always greater when I visit grandma
