FLEX may want us to believe they have some special diet or training program, but in reality, they just go to the gym and train hard and eat tons of food.  Bodybuilding is not this exact science as some would make you believe.

I diagree about BBing not being a science. The average person, natural or not, can't just eat big, train and then be at 4% BF, full and hard. It doesn't work that way. Especially for a natural BB with average genetics, it's is all about science and learning what works through trial and error.

TA keeps saying this, and some of us go along with it.  Allow me to explain:

I don't think TA is saying that a pro is JUST drugs.  Minus the Tom Prince's of bodybuilding.  But for the most part, I'm sure TA agrees that pros train hard and eat huge.  His point is that the DIFFERENCE between himself and a pro in terms of work ethic is just drugs.  Now you can argue pros have better genetics, but all TA is saying is that pros simply go to the gym and eat big.  FLEX may want us to believe they have some special diet or training program, but in reality, they just go to the gym and train hard and eat tons of food.  Bodybuilding is not this exact science as some would make you believe.

I also want to go on record to state that I now believe that there is more human variance in the ability to gain muscle mass and synthesize protein than TA says there is.  I previously agreed with him that humans are basically all the same.  However, I think about 90% of people are pretty well at the same level, and only a few exceed the mode.

Correct.

But humans don`t very much at all.  You still will never find that Natural, under 6 feet, but over 205 ripped at 3-5 percent.

BS. There are specific ways to get the body in the shape you want it, whether documented or by trial and error, figuring out what works. That's science.

I suppose so, but in general, working out hard and eating big will do it.  Think about it like this: every pro trains and eats a little differently than the next and they all build world class physiques.  The point to that is that there is not one specific program which does this, but several, and the general rules to get there are pretty basic.  I guess the "science" would come down to tweaking, but the main part would come down to your basic rules of bodybuilding.

Dictionary.com lists science as:

4. Knowledge, especially that gained through experience.

That's to say, finding what works for you in training and eating. Once you understand this, you have made a scientific study. I don't want to make it sound more complicated than it really is, just trying to prove my opinion, if that makes sense.

Genetics become obvious at the top levels.  Ronnie has them, King doesn't.  Some guys, like jay, have good WIDE bone structure but need gh (and the thick skin it causes) to get to ronnie's size levels.

Seriously, jay is as big as a house, but you'll never see veins on him again.  You see playground BBallers with more vascularity than Jay will ever have again.

There obviously is- even just 'eating big' is an example.

If you trained hard, yet ate nothing but one bread crust per week, I'd be willing to bet you wouldn't build that much muscle.

All Pro's 6 foot and under without their drug cocktails would be under 180 lbs contest shape.  Their drug cocktails account for 40% of their bodies. I do however make note of their hard training and dedicated diet etc...

Yeah, it's obvious to us.  Look at magazines selling the idea that bodybuilding is an exact science to thousands of people who don't know any better.

Work ethic seperates wannabes from the accomplished in the gym.  All the drugs in the world can't make up for not working hard...although many pro's don't work out as hard as many who lift as a hobby, depending on gear.

Unless I missed something, have not found a University study on bodybuilding protocol, but there have been hundreds if not thousands of studies on protocol reguarding athletes and their training. I really don't consider the 'Weider" principals exactly scientific research

Its all about how many testosterone receptors you have. If you have a lot you will respond to juice, if you have none, give it up.  You can tell guys that have a lot of receptors they usually looked more developed  at an early age and usually thicker skin, heavy bones, some with more body hair but less on the head.  These kind of guys get huge on juice.

good perspective Matt, homo sapien sapiens are a really young species, and we haven't really been around that long in order to have huge variances.  I think the main difference is the mental aspect of each human that determines their success at what they chose to pursue.

I would say that training and work ethic in the gym is probably the least important factor.  If I were to eat nothing and train hard I would make worse gains than eating properly and training like a wimp.  That applies across the board.

I would disagree, it seems work ethic is the most important factor, why would the body improve if you don't push it? work ethic determines the level of stress you put on yourself and the better you adapt,
