#214: An Honest Examination of Genetics

3D Muscle Journey

Nick, Jeff, and Alberto discuss the role of genetics in recovery, fat loss, muscle growth, perseverance, and more.

When did it first become obvious to the coaches that genetics really do play a role in one's bodybuilding journey? How does Jeff feel about his genetics? Does Alberto think it is easier for him to lose body fat than most people? What do the coaches say to someone who is using their genetics as an excuse not to work hard? How do optimism, gratitude, and the ability to dream affect one's results?

The answers to these questions, plus many more are covered in this episode.
