I've met some genetically gifted people that have made me envious. Naturally broad shoulders, big arms, still carrying abs and drinking 5 nights a week and slamming pizzas burgers and burritos. I remember a couple Italian guys my freshman year of high school that were benching 185 with no training, progressed quickly, and they were both not really large guys in terms of - they weighed probably 30-35 pounds under that mark. They progressed quickly in strength, and I actually saw one years later in college most likely juiced, really built and probably around 11% bodyfat or thereabouts. These are the guys that can't seem to do anything wrong.

Well, at my high school, there are a lot of "freaks".
Mostly jocks who slack off during their forced workouts, eat jelly on bread....etc.

that doesnt bother me as much as those who think they are freaking awesome, just becuase they were born. You know?

I know some guys who workout on their own maybe once a month, and they come into the weight room and take their shirts off for attention...
Its those that don't deserve.

It always seems like the people with the most potential, use it the least.

I always see him with juice or gatorade! yet he has a very nice body! i hate him!!

Thats good genetics for you.

You shouldn't hate him though. Dude has no power in making his body react
like that. He was born with it. Kinda like blaming someone born with blue
eyes, when yours is green.......

That was exactly my point when bringing up why gifted people rarely compete. When it is no challenge, it seems many people dont give a shyt about their natural abilities. Sometimes this is not true, but most of the people I knew in naturally really good shape, with large muscles and zero training, drank and ate like shyt and were never interested in lifting AT ALL.

First of all, the reason you brought up this topic, is beacause you are
envious of someones ability to do whatever...

Get shredded and still gain, get super huge, get super strong...

What would you say the percentage is of people who truely have this ability?

5-10% - ?

I know so many people that have trained on gear and won't admit it...
Or take tons of supplements, and still claim, "I just eat right"...

I went over to one guys house for a party one time,
this guy claimed he never needed any help from "CHEMICALS"

I was looking through his kitchen for a clean glass,
and found a cupboard that GNC would have been proud
to show in their store

The guys who truely have ability are usually Olympiads or WR holders
or are few and far between...

Keep believing what you are told young man...

I'm sure LAM has some prime real estate he wants to sell you as well

Not even close to 5 or 10% honestly.

I used to work with a guy who was shredded. I know for a fact he would eat 6 or 7 white castle burgers and a bag of curly fries (the freezer bag, not the drive thru bag) and go right to bed. Made me ill to watch, made it worse to see how cut up he was.

A friend of mine in High School was a complete gentic freak. He did nothing! I mean nothing....he drank, he ate like shit and when he barely worked out and when he did it was half assed and he wasn't even trying. This kid was about 6'1" ripped and muscular and athletic as hell. He was a started on the football team. He didn't even work hard. He treated it as a joke. He was just really gifted. Without trying he made all state and he was even given a scolarship to college to play. He didn't care, he was so lax about his training and practicing. He was just a complete genetic freak though. Fast, strong, everything. I always wondered what would have happened if he gave a shit and really tried. Who knows the potential he really had. It was like Mudge said, he was just really gifted that he didn't even care to use his talent.

A guy who lived one room over on my floor last year... he was really strong, CRAPPY SKINNY LEGS, but massive upper body. Never did anything but wrestle. Then he starts lifting last semester, and suddenly, because he is big (not from anything he did though), he thinks he knows how to do everything.

I'm in the gym one day doing deadlifts with straps on. He jokingly goes... "still cheating with those straps huh?" I was just like... "I'll agree that it's cheating, when you somehow prove that deadlifts are intended to be a grip exercise. Until then I'm not gonna deadlift to get more forearm strength, and i'm gonna keep using my straps."

not 1 kid in my school was huge, genetically gifted. Most were either skinny, fat, or average built.

Wasn't perception with the guy I mentioned... he lived right next to me and I saw him almost 24/7. He did lift at school, but never with good form or anything.

Worst post on this thread. I'm not talking about Chris Cook or some freak like that. I'm talking about a human being.

Yeah, gotta be genetics. Go to a high school, preferably heavily diverse ethnic breakdown. Randomly draw out 20 Asian kids, 20 white-Euro kids, and 20 African-American kids. For some odd reason, African-American kids (by kids, I just mean teens) tend to have more muscle...or shall we say their muscles show more, and chances are, they don't need to make sure they have enough fish oil caps or protein shakes in a day. And its not ridiculously huge muscles I'm talking about, their muscles just have more finesse and shape. Asian kids come in two sizes: skinny or fat that's me! And white-European kids tend to come in more shapes and sizes from all over the spectrum. These are all just my own observations.
