This isnt a guide saying HOW THE MUSCLE WILL LOOK(insertions, etc.)
Its just a guide to say HOW much muscle you can put on:
--------------

Sign 1:

your untrained physique post puberty,

most ppl with good genes have one of these two bodytypes

1: Fat, but big and strong
They are fat but physically large and intimidating
examples:
1778638173746

idk about the guy in the middle, all of them dont lift.


The key sign to look for:
Big wrists/thick bones
Big forearms

Big calves

Pros:
Able to pack on muscle very easy
Cons:
Very hard to get lean
----------
Bodytype 2:

Skinny but defined and vascular

This physique but smaller muscles but same leaness
1778638372651

1778638534255

I know the top guy is a ufc fighter, but his natural physique is not too far off from his trained one as he does mostly cardio

Pros:
Able to stay lean effortlessly
Often tall


Cons:
Harder time packing on muscle,
But alot of them can packon muscle much faster than an average dude
If your physique is naturally skinnyfat you probaly have bad or average genes

Sign #2:
How thick your bones are/how wide your frame is


Measure your ankles wrist, and clavicles(BONE ONLY) and google the average for your height on chatgpt or google and see where you line up:


this is because
1: It often correlates with other good genes for muscle like androgen receptors etc,

even your wrist size is probaly correlated with facial masculinity.


2: A bigger frame can support more muscle


3: It also correlates that your body is not resistant to putting on extra tissue on your body, this usually includes muscle:


-For example, in populations that have starved for long peroids of time,


-they evolved to keep the bones and muscles to grow as small as possible


-because less bone and muscle = body doesn't need as much food and then they can survive longer,



so the people with alot of muscle and bone starve to death but the people with poor genes get to stay alive and reproduce

Reason 4:

I know this is a guide for building muscle, not how the muscle will look

but if you have a smaller/thinner frame, even with the same musclemass, you will always look smaller, like

Online you may look bigger but in person youll weirdly and unexplainably look smaller, like less robust and more childlike


Same musclemass, different bone thickness

see what i mean, in person youll weirdly look small,

Sign #3:
Your race:
------------
Good ethnicties for muscle growth:
White/European

West/central african(black americans and black latinos)

Arabs

Polynesian and pacific islanders

Anyone mixed with those(dominicans and puetro ricans for example)
----------
Average ethnicites:
East Asians

Southern Europeans

Hispanics depending on how much european vs native u got

Turks/Persians/Cacasuaisn


Bad ethnicites:
East African(if your black american or black latino dont worry your not east african your west african,

this is cuz thats where the slaves came from. they didnt go accross the whole contient)

South Asian

Sometimes east asians.

Native americans
-----------------------
If your ethnicitty didnt get covered then thats cuz thats the only ones i know and there genetic history.
