I know Jason is not Flex Wheeler what comes to genetics.
Just wondered if the argument by gh15 that anybody can get lean 280 lbs was actually from this world... He stated that that's the case; anyone consuming huge amounts of drugs is capable to gain that level of bodymass. I'm not claiming anything, I don't have any competence on this subject.
I know that with loads of drugs you grow but I've always thought that individual genetic potential puts limits to how big you can get!
And isn't it a fact that if you have short muscles ('bad' insertions), they can't grow beyond that certain limit?
For example pros almost all have long bicep muscles, meanwhile many average gym rats have short ones... leaving a gap between bicep and forearm..
Short muscle can't grow as big as long muscle!? Then it should obviously be impossible for everybody to get lean 280...?
you r correct. you have no competence on this subject.
even the image u showed tries to show a linear distance on angular subjects.
you ignore the fact that volume is simply length x breadth x height. volume = mass.
a short length can be offset by breadth and height- to equal the same volume.
in order for your argument to be true, you need to correlate average gym rats in all 3 dimensions..which of course you cant.
additionallly, generally speaking, volume has alot to do with strength. a high bicep that is narrow and short can move the same mass as another with the same volume but different dimensions.
still, some dimensions mean more than others. its a fact that the "total change in dimensions" is related to the distance that the mass is moved.
i.e. the amount of shortening, in relative terms, dictates the distance. the
absolute amount of shortening is related to the load that is moved over that distance.
but as fas as distance moved, the change in height and length is more important that change in breadth.
