Dam south asian/indian genetics suck (no racist im south asian)

[transformation2]

Interesting article about how BMI doesn't apply as much to south asians/indians because of the way their bodies genetically are. (skinny limbs and fat bodies).

http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/...59147720091002

the researchers note, ethnic differences in body fat levels and body fat distribution may play a role.

the WHO recommendation sets that at 23 to 27.5 for Asians.

It's possible that people of Indian background are particularly likely to have body fat distributions -- including more abdominal fat

Studies have shown that compared with people of other races and ethnicities, Asians tend to have a higher proportion of body fat at any given weight

so because of the way fat distributes in asians especially south asians it is advised to be either skinner than normal or work out hard as fuk to rid yourself of your midsection where fat naturally deposits more for asians. (be it hormonal reason or otherwise).

Dam gotta work 2x as hard as everyone else just to fight nature. no wonder im on day 22 of my first ever tech cyle.

bump and this holds true (for me personally) and in general if u go to asia and just look around. it's incredible I went there in the summer and people were complimenting me on how "incredible" my physique was. BRB in america I barely ever get complimented for it and it's usually in the gym. In asia at a random ass bank people were like dam etc.
lol.

[CaseinPoint]

I really don't want to blame genetics as it seems like a weak excuse.

I'm going to find what works for me, next steps are hiring are hiring pros to look at my routine and diet.

[TastesLikeRoids]

did I say that? Maybe I am just sharing something that I have long suspected and finally found some proof of? Maybe I am sharing this with other asian miscers to show that not every human body responds the same. So if they aren't seeing the results a lot of other people are seeing then I am telling them to just have patience.

OR maybe this will also shed light to the fact that the stock advice given on this forum about +500 bulk etc is bull**** for south asians because their bodies respond differently? And that they should probably be bulking at a lower level.

no it has to be an excuse fukk outta here kid.

exactly bro I think it's really important from a training point of view too. We gotta train a little differently. Not bulk as hard etc. Because frankly research supports the fact that our bodies are a bit different.

On the misc if u post anything like this it's immediately "an excuse."

It's not genetics. I think it's the poor nutrition and lack of exercise. I used to be kinda skinny because of my bad nutrition Indian food I was vegetarian and I used to play basketball and do long distance running. But as soon as I put more protein in my diet and started working out with weights, I had no problem packing on muscle. Of course I was 16 at the time but I still put on 30 in the first few months of lifting. No supplements Except muscle milk.

Well, your post only refers to Indians living in India so that means it doesn't hold much weight in reference to genetics...

The (Hindu) Indian diet is bad and is only now starting to improve properly. My ancestors were always fine because they consumed their protein from dairy (Punjab) unlike vast parts of India which had a pretty much a vegan diet.

[dickbutt]

Does this apply to north indians or south indians?

I don't think guys with slow metabolisms understand that in some ways it's a lot better than having a fast metabolism. If you need 5000+ calories a day to grow,then that's a chit load of money spent every week on food, and it's very hard to get that much food down if you're eating somewhat clean.

Losing fat isn't the issue, that's simply restricting calories for a period of time, the issue is gaining too much fat when bulking. Only needing 3000-4000 calories a day to grow is a blessing in disguise.

Can confirm, Arms and delts will be vascular as fuark but mid section is chit tier.

[Panterita]

simple, get liposuction on love handles and abdomen, where indians, south asians and hispanics store it the most

brb never having to worried about those parts ever again

brb those parts due to having fewer fat cells now, will lean out quicker when on diet

brb peace of mind

brb areas wont increase much if at all while on caloric surplus

brb a new lease on life

[CrossXfitbrah]

dat dere Indian genetics is true. Indian girls always are hnnng when young then by late 20's turn into fat girls.

Your average Indian girl has a physique like this around teens to by age 22.






brb by late 20's body looks like this
