Genetics...

[sk*]

I dunno, I rarely ever say to myself "he/she is on roids." I don't care all that much and figure so what if they are on it? That's just me though ...

I agree with you though. I used to think genetics didn't play a big role at all, but now I am realizing that there are a bunch of people with some muscle who have never touched a weight. IMO, those that are the most gifted are the ones who look good and are very strong before ever hitting the gym. It's usually the black guys I notice that are like this. Oh well, more power to them.

I can definitely say that if I didnt have the genetics I recieved that I would never have been able to do half of the things I have done in my life. Genetics predicate your outcome in life. All bullshit aside. It all comes down to genetics.

Hard work can get you places but without genetics you are virtually lost.

Was thinking about something tonight... How quickly are we to point the finger at a great athlete and assume that they use AAS because they are VERY strong or VERY lean or VERY muscular... I have been guilty of this also...

I look at my girlfriend who has been lifting with me off and on for the past couple of weeks and I am just amazed. She has NEVER lifted weights in her life and she has muscles everywhere. She has erectors from neck to butt, calves, hams, quads, abs, can make her pecs jump, delts, biceps, triceps, traps, etc... She has done some pretty crazy things in the gym over the past week...and she is lifetiime drug free. She laughs that she is 'lifting free' also...

If I spent 3 years working with her, pushing her body to the extreme, working on her diet, etc...I just think about what she could be. She could be ripped at 5'1" with freaky strength...drug free. Most of all, people would be looking at her and they would just 'KNOW' in their minds that she was on all kinds of AAS because of how she looks...

Truth is...she has freaky genetics. Adding hard work to those genetics would make her look freaky. Of course...adding AAS to those genetics and hard work could make her amazing.

I also remember talking to Becca Swanson (if you don't know who she is, run a search on google) and she told me that she weighed 185 before she ever touched a weight. Our hands are the same size too...and I don't have small hands by any means.

Just a few thoughts...about genetics...about hard work...and about who we point the finger at. Mostly just speaking out loud...and bragging a lil too

It's pretty easy to tell if someone juices or not........particularly a woman.

Not unless they take it to the extremes ...

No.....it doesn't even have to be extremes. In the early stages, their strength always outbalances their physique......greatly.

And with women i've seen and heard virilisation and other tell tale signs from a 3 week cycle.

"So either if you have been blessed or not so blessed, it's important to make your genetics work for you."

I agree!!I have small wrists and ankles...small calves...long arms.My upper arms,and upper legs arent huge either,but have gained size alot easier.Ive found that the only way that I will ever get stronger is to realise that I will have to work harder on some areas just to have decent strength,and to stop thinking how much something may be holding me back.It seems to help
