People with amazing physiques in general overestimate their effort and dedication and underplay their genetics.
People with shitty genetics tent over play the fact that it’s genetics and under play the hard work

“The more consistent you are, the fewer people you’re competing against” is very good life in general advice,  not just lifting/fitness advice. 10:30

Better to compare yourself to who you were yesterday, than to who someone else is today.

30 pounds of muscle in five years just to correct the information that would be qualified is very good or elite level genetics as in amazing genetics. In the course of a lifetime as per Jeff nippard’s video the average person can expect to gain 20 to 40 pounds of muscle and so if you gain 30 pounds of muscle in only five years you most certainly should expect to gain at least 40+ pounds of muscle throughout your life. Unless you start training at 15 years of age or are you start off as being someone who’s anorexic dating 30 pounds of muscle in five years is extra ordinary it’s amazing

Joe gradually morphing from the chad of the fitness industry to the dad of the fitness. Offering us sound advice and guidance that could save us years of frustration in every new upload.  A metamorphosis I am thoroughly enjoying, btw.

Most of us prolly don’t need to be worrying about genetics too much. Put in a decade of consistent intense lifting on a proper program with a solid diet and we will prolly have a physique we can be proud of.

“The fake natty” immediately shows a picture of liver king. 😂

“The more consistent you are, the less people you are competing with” that stuck with me man! Love your videos!

Nothing to be gained from thinking about genetics, all we can do is train harder than last time and do it for a long time

People who are highly suited to a particular sport generally start well ahead of where people who are poorly suited to that sport finish. That's how it works with bodies, brains, and pretty much everything else.

Joey D and Great British Bake Off are the only things I watch religiously

Have a genetic disorder. Impairs muscle growth, bad joints, bad heart, pretty much the worst roll short of some kind of degenerative disorder, so I'll never be jacked. But I still lift. I'll still be more jacked than the people who never try or give up.

It took me a long time to accept that my “dream physique” was either, never gonna happen, or going to take an extremely long time. I’m 5’7” and for most of my 20’s, I was 220-240 pounds. Obese, not muscle. With diet an exercise, the lowest I got was 160, and even then, I had man boobs and couldn’t see my abs.

During Covid, I crept up to 180, not in a good way, and re dedicated myself to training. Right now I’m 195, still around 30% fat, but I can do 8 pull ups, sumo DL 315lbs for 2-5 reps and bench 190 for 5. My resting HR dips into the 30s and my cholesterol is fantastic. As you probably guessed, at 30% fat, I’m nowhere near a beach bod. But I’m strong, healthy and comfortable in my own skin.

Lately my goal has had nothing to do with physique. Just strength and longevity. I never want to be too tired to fix the house or play with my future kids or please my future wife.

Derek being part of the mob absolutely killed me 😂😂 that was top tier meme

I’m in the .1%. Bottom .1% 😂. It’s pretty wild down here. Takes forever to add strength or bulk. Shout out to my fellow no gainers!

I was getting disappointed on my physique as a huge hard gainer, but you gave my back again some hope.
Gracias!❤

I'm not genetically gifted, but I take pride in being a natural athlete. At nearly 38 years old, I'm proud of the relentless effort I've put into my training. I dedicated myself to intense workouts from ages 20 to 30, which sculpted the foundation I've maintained today despite dealing with more frequent rest days and injuries.

When I didn't go to the gym I was skinny and not happy with my body. When I trained for 6 months I achieved more than I could ever dream of. Only a bit of excercising can change someones life completely

I firmly believe the vast majority of people (who don’t have some major health issue or impairment) can achieve a very impressive beach body physique with good diet and training. This doesn’t mean everyone can win a bodybuilding competition, but just about everyone can attain the average dream physique.

i'm cursed. Got asthma, stage 3 cancer, a digestive issue, autism, allergies, and anemia all as a child.
