muscle insertions thread (genetics)

[Deleted member 17763]

Insertions definitely have an impact, I have a friend who is 6 foot 5 and very muscular with a very wide frame who doesn't have really good insertions for abs and pecs but still, people treat him with a lot of respect due to his sheer muscle size

So you know you were talking out of your ass this entire time

Jeff Seid has good genetics, he had a great physique at 16 before he started taking steroids.

David Laid was a skinny guy before he started taking steroids and it took him years of serious lifting and steroid use to look like what he does now.

Jeff Seid never had to train as hard as David Laid and he is much bigger, and he has always been bigger.

As for Zyzz, he was a skinny guy like David Laid before he started taking steroids, so he too had bad genetics.

Muscle insertions are only important for bodybuilding shows because that is one of the things that judges care about, but in the real world, women will mainly judge you based on your face, the size of your muscles and whether or not you have six pack abs, they don't care about the small details and their ideal male physique is not David Laid, but closer to Chris Hemsworth in Thor, Chris Evans in Captain America, or Channing Tatum in Magic Mike. Those are physiques that can be achieved naturally within 2-3 years of serious training. That won't make you win a bodybuilding show but it will attract a lot of women and men will still find you aesthetic.

Your a fucking idiot and don’t understand what insertions are

Completely irrelevant unless you have completely dogshit insertions or for example if you have dogshit condition like pectus excavatum aka hole in your chest.

Brutal. I'm like 3/7 here.

Especially the chest one's brutal, I've got quite the gap in between, and there's just nothing you can do to fill it up. Even Terry Crews who's muscular as hell can't fill that gap.

It's good to know though why some guys will look way better than others even though they've got way less muscle. Just gotta make sure it doesn't de-motivate you from training.

None of that stuff matters, unless you are a competitive bodybuilder trying to surpass Chris Bumstead.

Also, David Laid is on high amounts of steroids just like Jeff Seid, so he isn't a good example, he doesn't have perfect insertions or good genetics, he is just enhanced. There are many guys who are enhanced who look way better than him, he isn't very impressive for what he takes.

Women don't care about the shape of your muscles, they care about the size of your muscles and the visibility of your abs, and what your strength can do for them (pick them up, dominate them, protect them and so on).

If you want realistic goals of what you can achieve as a natural lifter, don't compare yourself to enhanced guys, and in fact, don't compare yourself to anyone else, because your genetics will give you different results.

But no matter what your genetics are, the vast majority of men, no matter how skinny they are at the start, can acquire a very impressive physique without drugs that women would find extremely attractive.

Utter cope. It all matters. Just because they can't explicitly mention what makes one person look better than the other doesn't mean it doesn't play a role.
I won't say it's the end-all-be-all, but it'll play a role in how well your physique is received.
Obviously, a trained guy will still look good compared to the average man, good insertions or not, but we're on a forum for aesthetics here, so it's nice to know what physiques are peak aesthetics and not.
