Episode notes
Genetics Limit Muscle Bulk
- You can only bulk up within the limits of your genetic potential.
- Lifting heavy weights tones you but won’t make you large unless genetically predisposed.
Genetics Shape Your Physique
- Your body type determines muscle size appearance more than your workout.
- Workouts improve aesthetics but won't transform you into someone else.
