Fitness Influencer Genetics: The Fu**ed Up Truth

Here is why it feels like everyone is bigger, leaner, and stronger than you but more importantly why being excessively envious is not helpful...

This is a more concise version of a few of the videos I have made over the last 4 years.

𝟭: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁:
- Hard work.
- Good genetics.
- Effective programming.
This is not to be underestimated!
I believe almost everyone can achieve a 'Hollywood-level physique' with effective programming, good nutrition and enough time.

𝟮: 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗺𝘀
Because of the way social media works, extreme content usually performs better.
This isn't good or bad.
There is a common trend of people complaining about their sh*t genetics.
Many people have a warped perception of what good progress can look like.
This is not an excuse to be lazy or have low standards but a reminder to be proud of progress and give it more time before you jump to conclusions.

𝟯: 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲
To stand out on social media many are willing to take PED's, use photoshop and fake weights.
While I like to think this is a rarity it without a doubt contributes to people's unrealistic expectations.

𝟰: 𝟭% 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭%
Not only do the top genetic freaks rise to the top, but we are often only seeing the 1% of their lives, their highlight reel.
Again not an excuse to be a degenerate but a reminder that comparing yourself to elite fitness models is often not the best idea (unless you find it motivating).

𝟱: 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹
"In order to train as hard as possible you must retain a clear image of your purpose.
Once your goal is sharply but realistically defined, all that remains is carrying out your plan.
Don't however worry about your individual potential.
Potential is only the expression of a possibility.
Something that can only be assessed in retrospect.
In other words you will never know how good you might have become unless you try…"
