Genetics....

[lilj888]

Natural selection occured through slave importation 300 years ago. The biggest and strongest survived. The weak got sick and died. The average black american is genetically more fit for survival than any other race.

that actually makes alot of sense true or false.

still doesnt explain there bigger weiners tho.

It had nothing to do with natural selection actually. Slave owners/traders bread the biggest strongest males with the biggest strongest females to ensure that there offspring where bigger and strong, regardless of whether they were related or not which is why African AMERICANS have a higher degree of certain health issues and genetic defects along with the physically larger qualities. One that comes to mind is Sickle Cell Anemia but they are also more suseptible to high blood pressure and cholesterol issues.

Breeding programs really are natural selection, just natural selection that is directed by humans.

That is absolutely true. The majority of slaves died before they ever got to America or brazil. (brazil was actually the largest portion of the slave trade, claiming about 80% of the african slaves)

There is another possibility. There is evidence of barley harvesting in ancient africa (Nubia) that dates as early as 16,000 BC. The equivalent formations of agricultural societies elsewhere are mainly attributed to around 10,000 BC.

So africans essentially have a 6,000 year advantage over other ethnic groups when it comes to a carb based diet. Is 6,000 years a long time? Was 4,000 BC a long time ago? Fuck yeah

Just throwing it out there.

Calves are always a sticking point.

If you haven't got good calves, you are never going to be a good competitive BBer.

I think next is probably back.

except dexter jackson just won the mr olympia.. and he had the smallest calves on stage.. (after Dennis Wolf... who placed 4th!)

how does that fit with this thread? We are talking about natural lifters/bbers not ones chemically enhanced.

I have 3 Black Guys in my gym. They don't juice..never did. I know some guys who know them really well and they swear by it. I believe it. They don't have the typical characteristics of a juicer. Their gains aren't up and down...just steady up...One of them is a freak....id say about 6' 3" 240, im gonna say about 3%BF, if that. I was told his older brother and sister are the same way. Ive never seen anyone this strong. Ive been training 1/2 my life.....im 37....and I have to stay "on" to look 1/2 as good as these guys...

I don't really have a point here. Just wanted to say...that it really sucks!! that some guys have these kind of genetics and some have to juice....like myself because we have no choice, if we want to look good. I've tried the train hard naturally thing, clean diet, morning and after workout cardio...no dice..hate the way i look...i get leaner i lose my mass.....i have mass i have too much BF.....

Im sure many of you have these kinds of guys in your gym....

Ok im done Whining..

in my years ive seen MANY people like this with just blessed genetics.

Sorry Tat but I don't think there was anything "natural" about the abhorant tatics that were used to create bigger and stronger slaves throughout the Americas but that statement will inevitablly turn this into an ethical debate. One which has traversed many times and never lead to anything positive so I digress.
