You may not want to hear it, but it is true: your progress will always stop.

It's hard to accept, isn't it? As bodybuilders, we all want to believe that growth will continue-we will make progress as long as we work hard. But everyone will be limited by heredity, and genetic factors determine how much progress he can make.

In addition to physical characteristics such as strength, muscle and height, congenital factors also control more intangible qualities in our brain, such as talent, memory and IQ. If a person has perseverance, these abilities can be improved to an extraordinary level through physical exercise. However, we all have an inherent critical point determined by genes, whether you like it or not.

Therefore, it is impossible for everyone to be Jordan, Einstein and Schwarzenegger, but as in other areas of life, the biggest factor of bodybuilding success depends on attitude rather than talent.

But the difference still exists.

Some people have an absolute advantage in sports ability and the ability to grow muscles. If you think there is a racial factor, then you are right. Of course, in this extremely sensitive and anti-discrimination era, it is a bit taboo to discuss people's differences in any way, even if it is praise. In fact, saying that people in a certain country are more suitable for a certain sport is really no different from saying that Irish people get a tan more easily than Egyptians. This is not racism, it is a fact.

It is not surprising that a certain race has an advantage in some sports. I don't know about you, but I don't see many Asians in the NBA, and I don't see many Middle Easterners in NFL guards. If I were a gambler, I would bet my money on black runners and white swimmers every time. Stubborn? Prejudice? Are you out of your mind?

Let's look at the facts.

In speed-oriented sports, especially races, such as the 100-meter dash, there is a huge gap between black and white athletes (strangely, in the hands of strong long-distance runners, black and white are average, except for the marathon, Kenya always wins). 1994, the top 20 races were taken over by blacks. Interestingly, these players come from different countries, such as the United States, Nigeria, Canada and Britain. In an Olympic Games 100 meter sprint test in recent 30 years, black athletes showed absolute superiority. In the United States, young black men are actually "masters" of the 100 meter dash, whether in high school or college. The positions that need speed in football, such as defenders and receivers, are basically occupied by blacks. In the past four years, white athletes have been absent from these two positions.

A few years ago, Jimmy, a casino agent and sports commentator, made an impromptu comment: "Black people are better athletes because they are born perfect." Although it was a compliment, this sentence caused a great sensation. The TV station terminated the contract with Jimmy on the grounds of "lack of sensitivity". Some people may want to rewrite history, but the fact is the same. Yes, black people were brought to the west as slaves. Yes, the strong survive. Yes, this is a disgraceful thing in the history of the world. But that's the truth. In many ways, blacks benefit from genetic advantages. They have a good pedigree, which cannot be ignored. This is what black people are proud of, and that's why they lead many sports.

On the other hand, if we look at the Olympic swimming champions in the past 20 years, one or two of them are non-whites. What makes such a big difference? This is anatomy. Many black bodybuilders complain that calf muscles are too difficult to practice. Even Mr Olympia, ronnie coleman's calf is not very good. Their achilles tendon is long and high, and it is born for speed. White athletes have higher body fat content, which can improve buoyancy, so they may be more capable in swimming. In addition, it may also be related to the activities of motor nerve tissues in various parts of the body. Or some other factors, it's hard to say.

When it comes to muscle, the biggest factor affecting a person's growth potential is testosterone level. Will the testosterone level of some races be higher than that of others? It looks like this. Once again, blacks are in the forefront, followed by Italy, Germany and Austria. Of course, there are always exceptions. Just like American bodybuilders (and Schwarzenegger from Austria, etc. ) To dominate the world, Englishman Dorian Yates turned the tables with his huge and strong muscles. This is an interesting question. In addition, English professional players are rarely seen in rugby (the roughest sport). Is it heredity or "aristocratic" tradition that keeps them away from this competition? Like many football players, Yates comes from a worker's family. Strangely, before Yates started training, there was no sign that he would become the overlord of bodybuilding competition. He is very thin, belongs to the standard of ordinary people, looks very ordinary, but he can constantly break through the limits of muscle tissue. Maybe some races have excellent genes, but they just don't realize it.

Racial differences seem to have been completely eliminated in weightlifting. The top players come from different cultural backgrounds. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Tommy Kono, an Asian, easily broke the long-held record. At the Olympic Games, he created more than 20 world records on behalf of the United States. This achievement is unparalleled for many years. At his peak, he won the titles of Mr. World and Mr. Universe.

Some excellent athletes are engaged in boxing, which is the best barometer of strength, speed and comprehensive quality. However, its participants are mainly determined by the economic situation. Rich people don't participate in boxing. Looking at the heavyweight champions in these years, we can understand the struggling underclass well. From 65438 to the 1930s, Irish people flocked to the United States in search of various jobs. Soon after, there appeared champions such as corbett, dempsey and Dani. Then immigrants from the lower classes were Italians, and then marciano, Gorez Anno and La Motta became boxing champions in this period. Nowadays, the poorest people are blacks and Hispanics. Although the Spanish have dominated the lightweight boxing ring, I don't think there will be a Spanish heavyweight champion in the short term. The reason is still genetic. We are born perfect.

The fact that physical fitness is determined by nature has eradicated the misunderstanding that "people who are difficult to make progress" are all nonsense. Some people are really hard to make progress! In fact, it is either a marketing tool or sheer ignorance to claim that everyone has the same ability to acquire muscles. Older people don't have as many muscles as people in their twenties. Women don't have as many muscles as men. It's hard to accept, but most of us can't get enough muscles (even if we eat a car full of steroids) to become world-class bodybuilders. Our ancestors made this decision for us. However, this does not mean that we cannot strive for favorable opportunities.

In many ways, those who are at a genetic disadvantage should not be discouraged, but should do their best. Once they do this, they can also achieve amazing feats.

Here are a few examples:

Schwarzenegger has a big chest, thin shoulders and thin legs. He used to be considered extremely asymmetrical, like a deformity.

The name James Hockman may not be well known. He was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy when he was a child. At the doctor's suggestion, he began to practice jumping to strengthen his legs. James later became the champion of high jump.

Bodybuilding pioneer Dan Luli had a heart attack and was told that he would not live to be 20 years old. He began to do weightlifting training to build up his strength. At 78, his muscles are still growing.

Ivor Wales is not a household name. He didn't start running until he was 83. At the age of 88, Yves participated in five marathons.

Janhorn suffers from rheumatoid arthritis. He finally overcame the disease through training and became a national fitness athlete.

78-year-old Jack Larani still trains for two hours every day.

Charles Boswell insisted on playing golf when he was blind at the age of 80.

Larry Scott was told that bodybuilding had no future because his shoulders were too narrow. Eventually he became Mr. Olympia.

People say that Shawn Ray is too short, Lila Brayda is too small and Frank Thern is too thin. They constantly tap their potential within the scope of gene permission and do their best. Facts speak plainer than words.

Point: We can't change the cards in our hands. But if you play right, you may win in the end.
