How much of your physique is determined by your genetics?

Title. I feel like it is way too much

 

[Lord Shadow]

Like 30 - 40% but it really depends on your goal physique you wish to strive for

 

[RecessedCels]

You can't put percentages on things like these

An aesthetic physique, so good amount of muscle and 12%bf

You can't put percentages on things like these

maybe not but say if you have a goal physique how much would genetics play a role?

 

[softman]

Pretty much everything? How wide your clavicles are and how narrow your pelvis is, that's entirely genetic as well as your muscle insertions and your muscle-building capacity lol
And your satiety signaling which will in turn affect your body fat percentage

Yeah like 30% if u have narrow clav and a wide waist for example you'd be affected but you could just get slimmer and avoid training obliques but you'll still have muscle, abs etc

 

[sportsmogger]

definitely more than 70%

people are only mentioning bone structure but are forgetting muscle insertions, muscle building capacity, body fat percentage, metabolism etc etc

Genetics and what you take in terms of drugs are all that matter. The rest makes a negligible difference

You can outroid bad natural genes but only if you respond well

Which is also genetics

It is, but you can’t tell without trying

Tbh you should only risk PEDs if your frame and height is above a threshold, 180cms and square shoulders minimum

I mean with steroids maybe but u can’t change ur bone structure only the amount of test u can use and shit

Yeah, that’s why I’m saying it’s only worth it to try if you’re at least 5’10 with square shoulders,

Tbh under 6’0 will just make u look like a meathead unless u aim for aesthetics

Depends on structure. If you have a long torso, good frame and face, it can even halo 5’8cels like mark:

 

[NoReedemingFeature]

Like 95%. It's all skeletal and then the factors partly in your control like muscle and fat mass are the rest 5%.
