Do your genetics prevent you from being ripped and torn?
There are people out there who have been training for a while and have seen little to no results in terms of muscle gains. These guys are starting to question whether they're capable of tearing apart a fitness model or whether they're fighting an uphill battle that they'll eventually lose. The road to ripping and shredding is definitely full of blood, sweat, and self-doubt.

Do your genetics prevent you from being ripped and torn?
There are people out there who have been training for a while and have seen little to no results in terms of muscle gains. These guys are starting to question whether they're capable of tearing apart a fitness model or whether they're fighting an uphill battle that they'll eventually lose. The road to ripping and shredding is definitely full of blood, sweat, and self-doubt.
The funny thing is that most guys who train for a long time without seeing results will eventually lose this uphill battle because they have lost hope and feel like they got a raw deal in bodybuilding genetics at birth. The interesting thing about all of this is that most people are not born with good “bodybuilding genetics,” but what people should know is that with enough hard work, anyone can get ripped and shredded. Yes, it may be easier for others to build muscle, they may have the perfect body type, but what matters most is not what we are born with or without, but what we do with what we have.
Some people have a harder time packing on mass, while others have difficulty keeping their weight down. It seems like everything they eat turns into fat. All of these people can overcome any “weakness” or “disadvantage” they were born with and build ripped muscular bodies. This situation is like a female athlete who is very talented but lazy and doesn't train and a person who is not that skilled but works hard in that sport, if you were a coach and had to choose who to play you would play the hard worker because you know he will last for 90 minutes and be effective (if the sport is soccer), not someone who won't be useful for most of the game because he can't just hope for a moment of brilliance. When it comes to building muscle you are like a hard worker, you are not someone with great muscle building potential but you use what you have and you make the most of it. We all can't be Usain Bolt, but if we trained hard every day and were consistently able to run pretty fast and even challenge the Usains of the world when the beginning wears off.
Before you give up thinking that your genetics are working against you, evaluate your diet. Many people think they are eating healthy foods that are beneficial for building muscle when in fact they are not. Many people try to build muscle while trying to gain muscle, which often makes it difficult to gain muscle mass. Also check that you are training each individual muscle adequately and make sure you are giving your muscles enough rest as muscles don't grow in the gym, they grow outside of the gym. During your workout, make sure you don't lift weights for which you can only do 10 reps for 20 reps. Increase the weight so the weight challenges you. You have to fight with that last rep. do not have long rest periods between sets; Try to make your workouts intense. You don't have to spend a lot of time in the gym if you train properly.
There are many things you may be doing that are causing you not to see the growth you want. Optimize your training, don't give up in the middle of a fight and keep fighting. If you don't believe you're gaining muscle and believe your genetics are against you, you've already lost. Forget genetics; Think about proper nutrition, pumping iron (experiment with different rep ranges and sets), and cardio, and you're on your way to getting ripped and shredded. If you believe and imagine yourself getting shredded and working hard towards that end goal, it will happen.
