genetics
how much does genetics and racial background figure into the way your body looks, the way you store fat, and how massive and strong you can get? i've noticed a few particlar races of people that get stronger a lot easier than others. just your thoughts. be careful don't get racist or anything.

It has a lot to do with it. If you come from a large and genetically gifted family you are much more likely to be large and genetically gifted. Seems like Pacific Islanders, for example, are born benching 120 pounds, the lucky so-n-so's and I know several of them that bench massive amounts of weight. They are a generally a genetically larger group of people. You can somewhat overcome your genetics, but you do have a limit to where you can take it. I just hope my genetic potential lets me get bigger than everybody else...

Woe to the thinker who is not the gardener but only the soil of the plants that grow in him."

Genetics is a huge thing. Some people are jacked without lifting, others have to invest years. Since you can't change them, though, I wouldn't worry about it; it's a waste of time

People that can run away from lions and climb trees passed on their genes. The people that could not, well, they didn't pass on their genes.
