I'm not a bodybuilder. I started going to the gym back in January and started really getting into it. I stopped around July because I partially tore my bicep, but I started going again Sunday. I was talking to a guy a couple months ago about it and his thinking was it's mostly just genetics. His opinion, but it was basically that some people can eat what they want, spend an hour or two in the gym a couple times each week and come out looking like Arnold. Other guys can follow strict training guidelines and spend a lot more time in the gym and they'll still look like Rachel Maddow.
It's totally genetics if drugs aren't involved. I've seen roids turn a 160 pound beanpole into a 220 pound monster in a year after he struggled to put on 5 pounds eating and lifting for 3 years. Note: He also told me that he had a baseball-size cyst removed from his injection site last year.
I personally have some of the best genetics I could possibly ask for. I could eat apple cores and fried cardboard and turn them into muscle. I don't even lift anymore and won 20 bucks last May when my buddy bet me I couldn't bench 300 anymore, and I was drunk to boot. The only workout I do is yoga. I've been this way since I was 17. My dad was the exact same way, as was his dad and all of his brothers and all of my male cousins.. All about 5-10, all about 200lbs, all built like gorillas. Gorillas with zero athletic ability, haha.
