As in take something if you were not genetically gifted with athletics. I don't mean size, strength and speed...... I mean coordination, body awareness, reflexes, etc.

Athletes don't even need to be the strongest or fastest. The ball just goes exactly where they want, they outmaneuver their opponents, things seem to be in slow motion for them, while things are perceived to go by in a flash for non athletes.

I want to naturally be better at sports in general, as athletes tend to be above average at any athletic endeavor they try.
 
genetics and hard work in the sport of your choosing, staying specific to the athletic demands of your sport, you have to find a coach. then strength training, endurance training, flexibility/mobility, and diet.
 
A mix of talent, genetics and will to train

Dang, it's over for me. I played sports growing up but always lacked the athletic qualities I mentioned above.
 
This is the red pill: You will never be a top athlete/professional without great genetics, it's simply impossible. However, you can be considered a god in your local high school with smart training and PED's.

go back in time and play a lot of sports as a kid
 
This really does not address anything I mentioned. He's is an okay fitness youtuber, but my problem was never strength or speed. Athleticism is so much more than that.

I'm oldcel. Still want to be athletic though. Was hoping their was some type of PED that'd help with athleticism... not just size, strength, aerobic capacity, recovery.


Cardarine is excellent for increasing aerobic engine, and losing fat while maintaining muscle. But those aren't my issue, as I said in my post. I mean athletic as in hitting the baseball, outmaneuvering people on the field, catching the football, scoring the goals in lacrosse, etc. Coordination, reflexes, body and spatial awareness.

You can be athletic up to a decent level without strength, speed, and endurance (until the elite level), but you can't be an athlete without the traits mentioned above.

Bump in case anyone knows some black magic. Yes, I realize roids will make me stronger and bigger. And certain ones even assist with endurance(cardarine for example). That is not what I need.

I want to be the dude catching the tennis balls in a quarter of a second. That dude is a natural at any sport he tries, and I know, because I'm friends with that guy. It's genetics... yes. And just like I'm trying to cheat my genetics for my face (which I know exactly what to do to improve), I'm trying to cheat them in my athleticism as well.

Even the unattractive dudes in my highschool, who were athletic, slayed. Even if they were short. And yes, we had people like that. 5'7'' dudes juking everyone on the field, catching the balls, winning the wrestling matches...... even though they lacked endurance and strength overall. They were athletic. And the foids loved it. Even though I could bench press and squat more than them, and run sprints quicker... they were the ones scoring the touchdowns.

Some people have faster reactions and are also better at reading situations. You have to practice if you want to improve. but, the guy that is naturally blessed will always be better than you.

Put in enough time and effort are you will be good. Genetics and training makes one great.

Modafinil could help and stimulants for alertness but that aside it’s all about training. The better prepared you are, the luckier you get because you are doing things on autopilot.

Train reaction timing, eye hand coordination, watch others movements and positioning when doing certain things. Boxers, mma fighters, soccer goalkeepers, defenders etc study their opponents.

Anticipating things before they happen, based on training and experience gets you ahead of the rest.

Remember: genetics are KEY. Through experience you probably know if you have more fast twitch or more slow twitch muscle. Pick a sport that caters to your muscle type.

that's bullshit. sports is much more dominated by athleticism than people think. in the nba for example there might be 2 or 3 players in 100 that are less athletic than the average person.

What is bullshit? I never said sports is not dominated by athleticism, in fact I'm saying it is. I'm saying those dudes have insane reaction time and coordination.

yea but they don't have some superhuman ability that allows them to see in slow-motion. i know that's not what you meant but i think most athletes don't have any special reaction time. if their reaction time seems to be exceptional it's probably because they know their game very well.
 
If you train 5-7 times a week, good diet, good sleep, good recovery, choose a sport that fits your build (e.g. small - distance runner, tall - basketball) then do that for many years you can get pretty fucking high up in a sport. You don't even need gear to be better than the vast majority of the population, but if you do get on it then you'll be even more of a mogger

>I want to naturally be better at sports in general

I don't really understand that tbh, just specialize in one sport and get good at it

This.. op seems to be looking for shortcuts or some pill he can take to improve his genetics. Good luck bro. Even if you’re MJ, you still have to put in the thousands of hours to hone your craft. Sounds like discipline is the pill you need.

I can’t imagine test e wouldn’t help tho 😂

I played sports growing up my whole life. Played basketball, football, baseball, soccer, skateboarding with the boyos every day after school. Played football and wrestled in high school. Still got athlete mogged despite being stronger than others, and beating them in sprints. The reason I'm looking for shortcuts, is because despite pouring tons of hours in over my whole life, others excelled at a quicker rate, and had a higher athletic ceiling.

It's GENETICS, I absolutely did not lack discipline, please don't make assumptions about my work ethic. In fact, I had multiple coaches praise me for outworking the majority of the team. But it doesn't matter if you can't catch the ball, or juke well, make the basket, etc.

Genetics are undeniably a huge factor. However, you’re oversimplifying the skill sets necessary to be in the top tier of these sports. The best athletes are genetically predisposed to excel at their sports, it’s true, but the secret sauce is that they figured out how to maneuver their genetic advantages in a way that lets them win the game. Drake can juke and can make baskets, thanks to practice/training/discipline, but let’s not pretend he’s generically destined to play in the NBA.

Like looksmax, one needs certain traits/features to succeed in inciting attraction in the opposite sex. You need all or some combination of nice eyes, lower third, hair, skull, etc. In sports, you need speed, athleticism, agility, cognitive acuity( etc. same shit. Except there’s no surgery for your jump shot.

Yea, I guess I just lack the overall athletic traits/features needed. I put in the work, but it wasn't enough. I didn't mean to imply athletes don't work hard... it's just the combination of the hard work, and the necessary athletic traits (coordination, reaction time, spatial awareness) that make them succeed. And of course physical factors such as height, frame, etc.
 
I've been doing martial arts for a couple of years now. If you met me now you would think I have decent balance/coordination/athleticism but when I started I was just a powerlifting bloatlord with none of those qualities. So it's almost like doing athletic activities... makes you more athletic... lol

edit: there's definitely some truth to what you're saying at being better at basically any physical pursuit. I can probably give an average hobbyist a tough time in basically any sport. And hell yeah that makes you look cool in social settings
