BONUS: Are Genetics Really Holding Back Your Muscle Growth?

I had a consult not too long ago, and the client I was speaking with, she was going to ask on Patreon, but she was like, hey, can I just ask it here? And she asked me the question, how important are genetics in terms of building muscle, losing fat? And it was kind of in the conversation or in and around competing with But I get this question so frequently.

I get this question, frankly, all the time from individuals in the bodybuilding space, but also for individuals who have aspirations to have really freaky physiques.

So if you don't know, I coach people.

I only take on like 30 clients at a time.

It's pretty limited.

Um, I do weekly calls with them.

I do their nutrition.

I do their training.

I give them supplementation input, not medical advice.

I go over their labs with them.

Um, I, it's, it very much is like all inclusive and most of the people I work with are not competitors.

Most of them, I mean, like I would say like maybe a third of them are competitors or, or aspirations to compete.

Yeah.

But everyone that I work with who doesn't compete, they want that attention to detail.

They want the same level of attention and the care that an athlete, someone who's trying to get on a bodybuilding stage would get.

And that's kind of my expertise.

That's the thing I'm really good at is breaking down the principles of fat loss, breaking down the principles of muscle building for individuals who have high aspirations, even off stage.

So I get individuals who are like, I don't want to get on stage, but I want to get to 10% body fat as a woman.

I get individuals who are like, I want to have like gnarly detail.

Is this something I can do? I get people who are like, I want to look like a cartoon character.

I want to look like borderline wellness.

I don't want to be that lean.

I don't want to walk around that way.

So this is kind of where I sit on the genetics front.
