ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
How much do genetics actually matter for building muscle, losing fat, and creating an impressive physique?
In this episode, I break down why I think genetic potential is only one piece of the equation. I cover the factors you can’t control—like skeletal structure and muscle insertions—but also the behaviors, environment, motivation, training quality, nutrition, recovery, and ability to learn that can dramatically influence your results.
I also share how my own relationship with food, body image, bodybuilding, and weight gain shaped my progress, why I’ve built more muscle in my 30s than I did in my 20s, and how improving my training helped me add four inches to my glutes during a growth phase.
Before you assume your genetics, age, or hormones are holding you back, I want you to look at the factors you can actually change. Your potential may be far more fluid than you think.
