Genetics: are they everything?

[wavelength]

You can give me your life!

I'm posting on getbig on a Sunday afternoon, how much of a life can I possibly have?

Pretty obvious fact - genetics = all.
But what you make of your genetics is your job - how bad or good they may be.
Training is like plastic surgery - it can't turn you into a beautiful human being but it can enhance your appearance.

This is the wisest and best thing a getbigger has ever said and should be stickied!

Once again, Deicide is doing his usual whinefest, because he feels his mommy and daddy didn't give him the right "genes" to put on the muscle he wants.

Your blubbering and complaining have done more to hinder your progress than your genetics ever could. First, you were whining when you turned 30; then you were whining because you were in a foreign country. Now, it's this "I've just got bad genetic; woe-is-me; let-me-go-eat-a-can-of-worms" routine.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Either do the best with what you have and bust your tail in the progress, or take up badminton. But for the love of the almighty, CEASE AND DESIST with all this crying.

A healthy reminder that genetics=everything.

Thank you for your contribution!

Not even close! Even Arnold has stated that he's met his share of genetic marvels who didn't do JACK in bodybuilding because they were too lazy and didn't push themselves. He's also met guys who weren't exactly gifted and they ended up, through sheer perseverance and smart and hard work, winning shows like the Universe, even the Olympia.

Once again, either do the best with what you have or zip your lip and take up another hobby. Whining and blubbering ain't putting a single ounce of sinew on your frame.

yes, they are everything,after that comes the drugs and then everything else.

genetics mean a lot but with hard work you can come far as well.
most people dont get everything out of what is possible for them.

Think I could make money with a book like that?

A person with shit genetics can become better/more successful that a person with good genetics.

We are limited ultimately by our genetics but 99.9999999999999% of people never reach their genetic potential in any aspect of life.

Work ethic is important too!

Yep,

A lot of guys in your position. A receding hairline accompanied by an expanding waist line and a shrinking bank account. A lost generation in need of role model to champion the cause.....This is where you step in.

Sure Goudy but the fact is I will never lift weights like you or be as strong as you, even if I worked harder in the gym than you. You are a (N.)Irish giant!

[Ursus]

And I will never be as big or strong as someone else.

Maybe never be as rich as someone or as healthy as someone else. All relative!
