Genetics vs Things You Can Actually Change

A lot of people on here get stuck thinking their genetics completely decide how they look
Genetics obviously matter a lot but there is still a huge amount you can improve without changing your actual bone structure

Mostly genetic:
Height
Bones
Skull shape
Eye shape
Natural hair density
Natural facial proportions
Nose structure
Jaw width
Chin projection
Natural skin tendencies

obviously you can hardmaxx but most users won’t even consider it

genetics vs what you can actually change

I see a lot of people on here coping and instantly blame genetics for everything

bones under your skin = genetics

genetics obviously matter but normies blame genes for everything
there’s a difference between having bad genetics and just not trying

your bone structure is mostly genetic obviously

your skull shape
jaw width
chin projection
eye shape
orbital structure
nose structure
height most brutal
etc

you aren’t gonna wake up and completely change your genetic base

but there’s a fuck ton of shit you CAN change

hair

your hairline and density are mostly genetic but your actual haircut isn’t

hair length
volume
texture
styling

all of this changes how your face is framed

same thing with eyebrows

you can’t change your orbital structure but cleaning up your brows and getting a shape that suits your face can make the eye area look way better
but it is over for you noorwoodcels

skin

skin is another obvious one

genetics can make you more acne prone or oily but that doesn’t mean you just have to accept looking like shit

basic skincare
proper hygiene
sleep
sunscreen
and actually treating acne properly can make a pretty noticeable difference

don’t need 15 fucking products either

isotretinoin and a sunscreen does more than any amount of pruducts will

physique

physique is probably one of the biggest ones

your frame and muscle insertions are genetic but you can still build muscle and change your body composition

training 4-5x a week and some roids will save you

this is proved time and time again

loox is a great example

posture

posture is another one people completely overlook

bad posture can make your neck look worse and make your whole physique look less aesthetic

standing properly isn’t gonna magically change your bones but it can make your existing structure present better

same with how you walk and carry yourself

grooming

grooming is probably the easiest category to improve

hair
eyebrows
facial hair
teeth
skin
nails
clothes
general hygiene

none of this changes your genetics

but all of it affects your overall presentation

someone with average genetics who is well groomed can easily look better than someone with better genetics who doesn’t take care of themselves

clothing

you can have a good physique and then wear clothes that completely fuck your proportions

or you can have average proportions and dress in a way that makes them look much better

fit matters way more than people think

photos

don’t judge your whole face from one shitty front camera pic taken 20cm away with overhead lighting

fraud in every picture you can, morph yourself with apps like hypic or snow

Teeth

your teeth obviously affect your smile and lower face

basic dental hygiene is completely within your control

brushing
flossing
orthodontics

https://looksmax.org/threads/use-orthodontics-to-mog.2265043/

if someone has alignment or bite issues then orthodontic treatment is something to discuss with an actual dentist or orthodontist

genetics vs environment​

some things are entirely genetic some things are heavily influenced by environment and some things are mostly under your control

for example:

bone structure = heavily genetic
height = heavily genetic
hair density = heavily genetic
muscle gain = genetics + training + nutrition
body composition = genetics + lifestyle
skin = genetics + environment + skincare
physique = genetics + training + nutrition
grooming = mostly controllable
style = controllable
posture = trainable

so don’t put everything into one category

PEDs and pharmacology​

My favourite :soy:

this part is purely educational because I see a lot of people on here throwing around PED names without actually understanding what they do

PED means performance enhancing drug

this can include anabolic steroids, growth related drugs and other substances used to alter things like muscle growth, recovery or body composition
anabolic steroids are synthetic compounds related to testosterone

they can increase androgen signalling which can increase muscle protein synthesis and affect things like strength and recovery

but there’s a massive difference between understanding the pharmacology and pretending these substances are some harmless looksmaxxing shortcut

PEDs can affect multiple systems in the body

hormonal function
blood pressure
cholesterol
liver health
kidney function
fertility
mood
cardiovascular health

the endocrine system is also complicated as fuck

so do your research before pinning drugs.

taking an external hormone or hormone like compound can interfere with the body’s own signalling because the body responds to changes in hormone levels

that’s why you’ll see people talking about things like suppression, HPTA, androgen receptors, estrogen and other endocrine pathways


AAS primarily act through androgen receptors other compounds can affect completely different pathways

so lumping every PED together as the same thing is inaccurate

also don’t confuse pharmacology with a recommendation

knowing how a drug works doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to use it

ancillaries are also a must when taking any PED's or pharmaceuticals

https://looksmax.org/threads/ancill...ime-story-serms-ai-hcg-liver-support.2316032/

I’m not putting cycles or dosing here because that’s not the point of this guide, the point is understanding what these substances actually are instead of seeing some random thread saying

the actual point of my thread

genetics obviously matter some people simply start with better cards

but saying “I have bad genetics so there’s nothing I can do” is also dumb as shit

not genetic:

hair
skin
physique
posture
grooming
teeth
sleep
nutrition

don’t spend all day obsessing over one measurement while ignoring everything else

genetics = what you start with

lifestyle + grooming + style + consistency = what you do with it


and obviously pharmacology is a completely separate category with actual medical risks

focus on the shit you can control before blaming the shit you can’t


GENETICS → STARTING BLUEPRINT

LIFESTYLE → DEVELOPMENT
bs guide js wanted to post something
