How do you then explain better hockey players? Baseball players? Football players? Are those successful athletes also the ones using 10gs of test a week? Doubtful. Are they born with small genetic differences that become evident and significantly helpful once applied to their sport? Yes, likely.

Lets say there's a guy who's 120lbs. He wants to get huge, so he does a ton of gear, GH, slin...whatever. He gets up to 210lbs but that's all, and he still doesn't look good. But through all of this time, he got freakishly strong.

As a bodybuilder, he doesn't posses the genetics to be successful, but he does have favorable genetics to be a powerlifter. Had he tried out for PL, he might have become very successful.

Remember, these genetic differences don't become significant, until they're placed in the right environment, under the right circumstances.

This is what my profs generally agreed upon. I don't know maybe they're wrong lol.

who have professors who go in depth into genetic varations among steroid users?

anyways

youu can not compare bodybuilding to baseball or footbal or basketball. in those sports heavy drug use is not at al necessary, while in bodybuilding it is. in those sports genetics dont mean as much as the mind, along with practice, practice practice.

if any sport did have genetic elite, it would be one of those three mainstream sports. every kid in america plays those sports. the mlb nfl and nba are filled with the abosolute best players in the country(world)...not everybody bodybuilds and wants t be a bodybuilder. a very very small amount of people ever try there hand at becoming a bodybuilder. and those are mostly people who were either very skinny or very fat as a youth.

I never said my profs talked about steroid use.

And "genetics don't play a role in sports" BWAHAHAHAHA.

Mind and Practice? Hmmmm what about guys like Vince Carter when he was with the Raptors. Great player, DIDN'T show up to practices. DIDN'T care about he games, had a shitty attitude. Yet...still a great player.

Dude, lets put it this way. There's no way you can prove to me that genetics don't play a role in sports or bodybuilding. In fact, the existing consessus and evidence suggests that genetics DO play a significant role in sports and bodybuilding. So how do you plan to disprove that? By simply saying it doesn't?

Just give up bro. Not trying to be a dick but you can not win this debate due to non existing evidence to support your ideas.
