- Mike Matthews interviews Menno Henselmans on MuscleForLife about the impact of genetics on fitness training.
- Genetics significantly influence the speed of muscle growth and what one can realistically expect.
- Potential for muscle hypertrophy and size varies based on genetic makeup.
- There is a specific timeframe within which an individual can reach their genetic potential.
- Methods to predict the maximum achievable fat-free mass are discussed.
- FFMI (Fat-Free Mass Index) is not an absolute rule but a guideline to understand the limits of a natural lifter.
- The appearance of muscles, including shape and definition, is heavily influenced by genetics.
- Genetics also determine how responsive particular muscle groups are to training.
- Muscle bellies and insertions are defined by genetics, influencing the overall look of muscles.
- Menno Henselmans’ work can be explored for further research and insights on the topic.
