Title: T-Nation article on Genetics in BB
Post by: DK II on January 12, 2011, 01:06:50 AM

Quote
World-record deadlifter Andy Bolton squatted 500 and deadlifted 600 the very first time he tried the lifts.

Former Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates bench-pressed 315 pounds on his first attempt as a teen.

Metroflex Gym owner Brian Dobson tells the story of his first encounter with then-powerlifter and future Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman. He describes Ronnie's enormous thighs with veins bulging through the spandex, despite the fact that Ronnie had never used an anabolic steroid at that time.

Arnold Schwarzenegger looked more muscular after one year of lifting than most people do after ten.

It's just plain obvious that some individuals respond much better to training than others. But what makes the elite respond so much better than us regular folks?

So why couldn't someone like Shawn Ray look as big as 'The Beautiful man with glasses'. Even with the same amount of GH?

HGH is the one thing that comes into the equation later.

The claim is that people can squat 500 or deadlift 600 on the FIRST attempt ever and so on.


As for the Arnold claim, sure he was more muscular after one year, but he was probably also on more dianabol than other people in ten years.

If someone squats 500 on his first try ever, he had probably been doing lots of sports all his life before.

It's not genetics IMO when it comes to a certain level. Sure some people naturally run faster than others, but genetics only go so far. Set up a trained genetically inferior runner against a not trained genetically gifted runner, and the later will be the loser.
If, after 10 years of training, the difference between genetically gifted and not gifted still exists, i doubt it.

Modern science concludes that genes in the human body react to certain triggers. This means you can turn genes "on" and "off".


In this whole case, and with all professional athletes, drugs come into the equation, so it's basically all bullshit anyways. A drugged up genetically weak person will always be stronger than a genetically strong person.

I agree, if anyone took as much legit dbol as Arnie did in 1 year and workout hard and ate the steak and egg dinners they would become muscular, not saying they would have exact build as Arnie because people have different bone structure but any person doing that for 1 tear will be muscular :D

Yes, also thinking about Arnold was still young, and had basically nothing else to do but lift, sleep, eat.

a few years ago all i had was dbol, i took it all the time, i trained bloody hard and regular, ate good food and i looked different within a few weeks and the longer i stayed on the better it got, i was not a mutated monster Kockulo but i looked muscular and people noticed ;D

Agreed - obviously I wasn't there but I highly doubt Dorian could do 315 as a teen - he didn't start training until he was 21 so where do they get that information from?

Also about Arnold looking better after one year of training than most people do in ten? Haha, doubtful - Arnold started training at 15 and by 16 was still skinny as hell - even with dbol he didn't start filling out until he was at least 18.

As much as I admire shawnie and thank him for making me start bodybuilding...it doesn't change the fact that this quote of yours is nothing but 100% bullshit wrapped in a shitty brown paper...shawn sure as hell used gh, 10+++ iu a day, maybe a bit less than other fellas...slin im not sure of, MIGHT be possible that he stayed out of it...and that's why he didn't look like a bloated testicle bag in style of fux & Co...and that's why he deserves at least one O WITH A CAPITAL O...Mr Ray was the last symmetrical, small-waisted dense looking fella at the olympia stage...he also would have been a good spokesman for the sport...clever, articulated, good-looking...perfect embodiment of the sandow trophy...

Seems to me that most people are average and can make gains related to the effort and knowledge they put in.
The "elite" works the same but has a shifted base to work with.
Personally I have only seen maybe two people which I would consider gifted freaks. Unfortunately they jumped the shark after a short time of training and blurred the results by taking enhancements.

LOL @ Yates benching 315 his first try as a teen. If true his training and drug response must have sucked baaad since he only used a bit over 400 at his peak. I think he did like 420 on the incline for a few reps in Blood & Guts with training partner's hands on the bar. Yates at the very least tripled his strength from his starting point. At the very least. A bunch of retards writing articles on fag-nation.  ::)

And I think Brian Dobson said he could see Ronnie's thigh veins through his sweat pants. Must have been some thin sweat pants. :D

The magazines also wrote Ronnie won the World's after one year of training! And still clean!

I guess these guys aren't impressive enough as-is so you have to add a bunch of bullshit.  :D

Come on now. Even freakin Bob Paris used GH. But not Shawn?  ??? :D

At Shawn's Ray's first Mr. O he weighed 201.5 pounds, by the mid 90's he was weighing 205, and by 1998 he was coming in at 215-218, still with a small waist...I don't know for sure he he didn't use gh, but he has said, and it has been said about him, that he was very conservative and old school about what he used...He knew he could out massed the guys, plus, he had to keep his quads in check...if he wanted to go  the mass monster route, his quads would have been the part he would have let grown--he could have been a easy 235 on stage---and lose his symmetry, and his legacy.
