Genetic Potential

Many people talk about "genetic potential" regarding one's natural ability to build muscle. Sometimes people use it as an excuse, "I don't have good genetics like that such-and-such a person." Making a determination like this, judging your body, but without doing any actual training, is not wise. Using "I don't have good genetics for muscle" as a rationalization ("good reason") to abuse steroids is not wise.

You cannot even know if you have good genetics for bodybuilding unless you do it sincerely. It takes a year or two of hard lifting to find out. Some people carry, under a layer of fat, muscles of high quality and potential.
