    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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
