How much do you think genetics play in a physique?

[Throwbacksample]

If you all had to place a percentage on how much genetics play a role in a physique, what would that percentage be?

 

[DaddyFresh]

Genetics play a huge role. I would say like 80%. I got a cousin that is naturally without even lifting bigger and leaner then 90% of the lifters at a gym. He was just blessed with god like genetics. He has a physique that would take a regular size cac 2 years at least to attain.
Even as far as abs. There are people who can have abs at like 15% bodyfat and some people can be in single digit bodyfat and still not have visible abs. Some people are just cursed with shytty ab genetics.

Depends on what you mean. I think anyone can get into a generally good asthetic shape. After that the details like ab definition, calves, etc are genetic.

Basically this.

Genetics set us apart but you can still get a great physique through hard work! But someone else can put in half the amount of effort and look better.

When you have a 6 pack at the end of a bulk

 

[AquaCityBoy]

When you have a 6 pack at the end of a bulk

Which is why I'm bulking at a snail's pace. I don't wanna lose my abs...

25% lifting intensity/consistency, 10% Genetics, 65% Diet

 

[AtomicUse]

I think it's 50% and diet and regimen are the other 50%.

If you're 6'4 275, you're supposed to be a big person. You may cut down to 205 but you're still going to be big. Same thing for thin people.

People hype this genetics thing up but no diss to anyone but most people know what they're doing training/diet wise
