- In this QUAH Sal, Adam, & Justin answer the question “ How can you know how good your muscle-building genes are? Wrist, ankle, and neck measurements? What would be good measurements as opposed to bad?"
If you would like to get your own question answered, follow us on Instagram where we post QUAH requests weekly.

Train and find out. Easy
xactly
I did find out. I aint got good genetics for muscle building
This channel is life changer many thanks guys
1:10 fwiw that study didn't show androgen receptor density but rather androgen receptor content was correlated with muscle growth, which is quite different. Though I'm sure differences in density would follow a similar pattern.
Where can I watch you guys live? Y’all are awesome and very intelligent!
I like the order of speakers better this way.
As a woman, i started working out with weights in junior high. Im 49 and still able to build muscle fairly quickly. However, with my neck and back issues, and fibromyalgia, ; i rarely engage in weight lifting. im lucky if i can walk 3 days a week.
Fibromyalgia ain’t real. Stop eating trash.
So what’s an average wrist and ankle size for men and women?
My arm, neck, and calf muscle are all around 20".
After tons of work and relatively little muscle growth, I took a genetics test. Results: about every muscle reducing, VO2 max minimizing, and aerobic limiting genetic combo possible without being crippled. ACTN3 and VEGFA defect, COMT defect (slow clear out adrenaline and cortisol), low T gene expression, methane defects, produce excessive myostatin, exceeding low type 2 fibers, cannot build vascularity, frail and thin bone structure (even slim for a female) and low VO2 max ceiling. I am genetically “anti-athletic” and bottom 8% of gene combos. My body is like a 2 cylinder mower: not built for riding, pulling, or travel. Genes are the limiter. Some people hit the lotto, others break even, but some literally crap out.
I always thought the opposite of having good strength and large amount of muscle mass was to be more built for cardio?
@@enrapturedgoose5317 I thought the too, but nope. A person can be thin with low cardio genetics
I have big ankles so my leggs are huge, but my wrists are small so my arms are skinny. I can squad way more than I can bench. It is so easy for me to build my leg muscles but arms are impossible :/
I’m 5’6 and 20 I can touch the rim of a basketball gym . Honestly I was just like u my ankles would hurt for no reason at the end of the day wen I was younger . I was love doing squats easy but hate lifting with my arms . Your legs may have more potential work them
I have it easy building muscle and not so easy losing fat I really have to watch my diet. I knew when I started training in my 20s I was able to pack on muscle easily and I love that to be honest and I really don’t wanna be shredded.I don’t mind having a little fat on me and look stocky
My wrists and ankles are smaller than my girlfriends, so I’m done 😂
small joints are good for bodybuilding
@@racerx2348 how🙆♂️😭
@@leecole7665 shows off muscle bellys and insertions better, look it up
You'll know pretty soon after starting if you have good genetics for this.
Androgen receptor sensitivity is the most important, not androgen receptor density. The number of CAG repeats on the AR is easily the biggest predictor of muscle building ability, alongside myostatin.
Someone with a 900 ng/dL testosterone level and 35 CAG repeats will have less effects from that testosterone than another person with just 400 ng/dL and 15 CAG repeats. And there are people out there who have as little as 6 repeats (extremely sensitive) and more than 50 even (68 is the highest recorded if I'm not mistaken).
So the variability is huge. But of course having more than 37 will be fairly uncommon as they end up getting spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy with ≥38.
I just measured my arms and they're 15" without any pump. I've been strength training seriously for 2 months and I'm maybe 15% body fat. My biceps are certainly not impressive, but I do have big triceps because of pushups. So if you want big arms, don't forget about triceps.
No shit
triceps make up most of the arm dont they?..
@@averagejoegrows yes, two thirds of the arm
I’m a small guy I started off curling 20-25lb weights now I can do 40lb curls but my arms look the same…
Tried doing reps instead of weight?
Eat more protein maybe?
Try to lessen the weight, do 8 - 12 reps
mind muscle connection
you might be focusing more on strength than hypertrophy it seems
im not sure if your training your triceps as well
triceps make up 2/3 of your arm
I found out I have amazing genetics
You can also have bad muscle insertions. While some ectomorph at the gym has good muscle insertions and makes you look bad.
can you look at someone an able to know if they have good muscle insertions?
@@breaks3085 I mean with certain muscle groups like triceps, biceps, and quads yeah, but others are harder to see
Alex Hormozi is the prime example here
We all have such a mad mix of genetics from literally at least 6 sub human species
If your androgen receptors are more sensitive it can lead to cancer.

I been lifting on and off since highschool 6'1 195 16 inch arms natural 😂 creatine pre-workouts and protein powder I've been powerlifting kind of hard for the last year after I broke my back so I must have pretty good genetics 🤗 can't wait to start on that juice when I hit 30 or 40
Why would u get on gear in your 30s
@@SilmShandy cuz testosterone declines
@@specialneedsboi2568 only if you let it.
Just dont consume anything with soy and you wont have to juice lmao. Check your labels. 90% of products have soy and "they" know this. Its added on purpose
@@cornstar1253 🤣what????
My chest is 46 inches and I'm natural
👍
I knew an African guy in college who almost never worked out in his life and he had 22 inch biceps.
So you’re telling me a guy who barely every works out has the same size arms as 7x mr O Phil Heath…makes sense
@@ExxTR0ticR3PL4y like he said there is just them genetic freaks like me personally I have always had ok size arms I know I have pretty good genetics my dad who is 40 has close if not 20 inch arms and I am 16 and have close to 17 inch arms plus me personally I was always strong my first to probably ever touching a weight I out lifted people who had been working out for like 3 plus years and me and my dad are natural
Maybe he's fat.
@@cornstar1253 He might be now
@@billbuyers8683 yah he must be morbidly obese or thanos no inbetween

Something in my gut doesn’t trust Sal
You will now that in the first year.
