Your genetics will always limit you and you might not be able to get huge or reach your own personal goals but dont let that discourage you because everybody can reach their own full potential. Everyone should strive to be the best that they can be.
"There will be people who are better than you.You need to accept it and learn from them". Awesome line that sums up how to be happy and humble in life.
@@ENZOxDV9 Or that there are people that are better than you in just about everything you value but that there are people better than them in some aspects.
My man Rich looked like a Gears of War character. Dope man,he left us too young. Life sucks and then we die but I wish he was still around. He was real,opened up to all of us. RIP Rich,you are missed.
I remember two brothers that would simply do push ups, sit ups with some weights and both grew stout arms, good shoulders with great abs with no specific routine or diet.
when rich passed away ,ric really spoke highly of him and helped clear the air about comments that rich might had made considered racial and really preserved his legacy as a geniune good overall guy. Ric is a great person himself /great friend we all could hope for
Finally someone comes out and talks the truth. Genetics play a huge role. "you are blessed, the only problem you have is you have to eat MORE" SO TRUE. Rich you're the man.
Randy2221 But he also had the athleticism required of a pro athlete, so genetics still were responsible for the fact that he had the potential to be a pro athlete. NBA players can be short, they just have to be amazingly athletic/skilled. Which requires amazing athlete genetics and lots of hard work. But make no mistake - the genetics are what control potential in terms of athleticism, so Muggsy can thank his genes for that while simultaneously cursing them for his height
Just wanna say I love what you guys do. It's so nice to have someone in bodybuilding finally telling it how it is. Ric I wish I could afford your training and Rich you are awesome. Keep em coming guys.
Ct fletcher never did pen time dumbass. The guy they are referring to is Dave haft. Ric drasin did a interview with him. They call him the mystery man.
What Rich said about being skinny with small joints and hving a fast matabolism, I totally agree, I was 150lbs when I started lifting now Im around 200ish but people swear Im 220, it's all about that illusion, small waste, wide shoulders, big arms yesirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It's true. I know, at least in bodybuilding, that success is going to be solely determined by your willingness to do what it takes. And I'm not talking about steroids. Talking about working workouts diet sleep physical therapy strategy willpower discipline emotional control sexual activity (with a spouse) meditation prayer supplication FAITH . Right there is a list of fourteen things that EVERYONE can change to improve. Strategy in and of itself will subdivide in to endless ideas for growth or Dat loss or shape or cardio. There is no simple answer. If you are not succeeding something needs to change you need to do what it takes.
look hat he's trying to say is that you're not always going to be number one. That doesn't mean you can't go to the gym and get a good body. It's that when you get competitive and pushing the limits of your body to the absolute maximum the genetics is the only thing that's going to separate you from the other contestants.
I have no idea why people give Rich an hard time. He's seems like a really good guy, and has admitted he's done whatever it takes to get to his size, including Steroids and even trying synthol....Give the man a break.
If you have a fast metabolism and you need to eat enormous amounts of food to gain muscle, you can also limit your activity level to cut down on your energy output. It helped me gain 45 lbs of natural muscle within 5 years.
No impossibility is a logical concept. Some things are impossible. Also their not showing any proof that the guys natty. Their just saying hes in prison so he cant take gear which is horse shit. Only true proof is a random drug test. That guy was absolutely on gear in prison. Im an example of someone who ppl think are a fake natty but Im not and ive been radomly tested. Im 5'10 and fluctuate between 220 and 223 and Im at 16ish % bodyfat. Most ppl cant be that big without being 30%+ bodyfat. But 5'8 260 is equal to 5'10 275 which if hes even remotely not obese is not naturally achievable unless ur the chosen one. It is more likely hes on gear than natural.
I was asking the same question a while ago. Research the term "Myostatin". The more Myostatin your genetic carries, the more difficulties you will have in developing muscles.
Rics the man, trained with arnold in the golden age in the original golds, no one more knowlwdgeable about training, hes been around the best. Got to meet him when im in LA. rich too, seems cool.
Another fantastic video guys!!! Genetics do play a massive role as said. Just do the best with what you have. You can always improve regardless of genetics!
Ric my friend and bodybuilder whose 80 told me that he read about people a few hundred years ago who could work for hours with heavy stone hammers. He said there was an article in a mag called life extension that claimed genes can be switched on and off by work habit and food intake. I wonder whether the key to that dudes arm growth was that he did them every day? that the daily work turned on some of his genes?
Your friend who is huge after coming out of prison > The reason for this is that when people are incarcerated they are entering a dangerous environment, life threatening etc, so their body responds to this environment by producing physiological responses such as increased hormone production etc to protect themselves..I.e. get bigger/stronger. People in 9-5 jobs in offices are not in the environmental situation which naturally enables their body to produce greater hormone output.
everyone got muscles and can get big and strong - just follow three simple rules - 1. eat right 2. workout hard 3. sleep tight genetics doesn't stop you from making gains and getting stronger.
Absolutely everyone can gain muscle, genetics determine: shape, thickness, firmness and size/ mass, anyone can build a fair muscle mass and look good, don't believe that just because you were a lanky skinny guy your entire life theres absolutely no hope for you, if youre skinny and tall that automatically means you have a fast metabolism, which is a great thing, just train right, go for the pump, brake down the muscle and then repair it with a decent diet, and just eat alot more overall, height packed with size makes you look like a tank.
the only thing i had that was genetic was my speed. i alwasy had a natual tendecny to be fast in running and in boxing, but muscle was average, my brother had that department.
I agree on the topic of Genetics. Short calves won't become long/full calves. Genetics includes everything from recovery ability to muscle density, strength etc. However, you "can" build a good physique if you apply yourself. On overtraining; Also, small joints don't mean small bones. Humbly, large muscle bellies make joints look small; but a weak frame will never carry a great deal of muscle. Arnold had huge bones, but a small waist. So you need that rare X Frame combination.
1 - mugsy bogues is 5' 3'', so unless that's the unofficial cutoff, being short itself doesn't necessarily mean you can't be in the nba. 2 - being locked up in no way prevents inmates from having access to drugs.
Its possible but highly unlikely and will you just accept the fact that some people have insane genetics. Its like the tallest person in the world, he is the only one of 6/7 bilion people on earth who has those genetics and that is EXACTLY the same for muscle building.
right, it is possible. that's my point. they stated it isn't. bogues was talented despite his height. so i don't know what you're arguing. i never said and i'm not saying that people don't have a great degree of genetic variability. of course they do. that's a fucking moot point.
Genetics refers to bone structure, the length of your muscle bellies, natural body type. Ideally your shoulders should be wider than your hips, your muscles will attach as low down as possible - biceps close to elbow, same for triceps, lats attach down closer to your navel, calves closer to your ankles than your knees. What you're looking for is long muscle bellies. If you have all of the above, you have great genetics for bodybuilding. Regardless, you can still make great improvements with some consistent effort and determination. Genetics does not refer to that extra 20 kilos of additional muscle mass that you will not obtain by natural means.....
That's what they mentioned in the videos, it's the metabolism, the faster it is the more food you can eat without getting fat. Or say you have some certain amount of muscle, it also burn calories even at rest
Everything you both say is true. I spent 13 weeks in Marine boot camp with every type of body and genetics and all the did was break us down day after day with hours and hours of calisthectics. We had no drugs at all but yet about there was a 1 or 2 genetic monster in about every 350 of us that looked like bodybuilders, with huge muscles and small waist. That is when it was clear to me about genetics, and in the 10 years I stayed in the Marines I trained and saw many of them. God honest truth.
I agree that genetics are a huge factor, thats why its takes some people years to develop a decent looking body. It just takes time to figure out what works for your body.
This is spot on. I have a slow metab and have to work my ass off to get lean, to some extent it may limit growing potential because of restriction during bulking phases to not get too fat. Just gotta work with what u have and do your best.
saystart i had a neighbor, short and black. He would sleep and drink and work out 20 mins a week and have a full 6 pack and separation with decent size all year around. I struggled to even look lean in a t shirt and i was always working out.
You guys are right, genetics play the most important part in bodybuilding. A person can't make their hips narrower. They can't make there shoulder joints farther apart. They can't make their big head smaller to make their body larger by proportion. Like I tell my son, you have to work with what you've got. Be the best YOU can be. Great video guys, Thank you
Many hormones you can't really control (like leptin or myostatin) and even the ones you can there's more to it than just the hormone itself. For example the amount of androgen receptors you have in your muscles will determine how you respond to steroids, which is why some people need a little and some people need a lot.
When broaching the down & dirty of bodybuilding a really good book to read, if not the best is "Muscle, The Confessions Of An Unlikely Bodybuilder" by Samuel Wilson Fussell. In the book, the author covers EVERYTHING. And his experience is all first hand knowledge. In the book he mentions how Tom Platz overcame poor genetics, through sheer hardcore training. Yet still did not possess the aesthetically pleasing structure or frame that Rich talks about.
This is the most honest video about bodybuilding I have ever seen. I have lived this. I know it's true. You can do everything perfect and still look like shit.
Love these vids! so much truth, my training is so much better after watching these videos. I get so pissed off and angry at all the jealous skinny loosers, all over facebook bodybuilding pages trying to put down people with awesome physiques. Keep up the good work! Us real bodybuilders appreciate it
While it may not necessarily be about genetics. I feel feeling good in your own skin and stop worrying about others is that should be taught before even touching weights. It took me years to get over my own I securities. I love lifting too much to quit because I'm never going to look like that guy and etc...
Then as you get a good strong foundation and hit plateaus, keep increasing the caloric surplus at a safe amount so you don't 'spill over' into getting alot of fat, and increase the meals to 8-10 a day when you get bigger. The meals can be easy if some are meal replacements like protein shakes. That can count as a meal, and the meals don't have to be HUGE, the portion sizes are usually smaller than a normal meal you think of.
rich piana you are amazing, keep up the good work. Love your positive energy and everything u offer. Also a great sense of humor u have. I find ur videos very entertaining and your fun to watch. Keep up the work its definitely working. Ur great guy.
My natural mile time was over 9 min and I had a very slow metabolism and a high body fat percentage. I've cut my time it in half in less then 2 years. I sped up my metabolism and lost the weight with dieting and I don't plan on ever stopping. I can tell you from personal experience that genetics can be overcome. And yes, i am fucking crazy.
Even here rich looked way better then before the end. He maybe would have been okay if he stopped getting bigger from here even though he was still big and using injections of whatever but it got way bigger between here and his death. I really miss him rip king
Correct. The opposite is true. In stressful roles as you say cortisol goes up..big inhibitor of muscle building. And naturally you are not in a fight or flight situation in the office, so your body is not freaking out and protecting itself (to an extreme state).
You can only complain about genetics if you put in a year straught of ultra hard training 6-7 days a week, eating proper food non stop and keep stacking the exponential gainz. If you have a fast metabolism you're blessed because you have to only eat more and everything looks big because of your smaller joints. Like Flex wheeler (me)
that's true, Rich was talking about mind of matter in the previous video and in this video he seems let genetics let it be a determining factor. Sure some guys can build faster than others but I think just about anyone can develop an impressive physique if they put their mind and body to it.
Very true, but the ability to grow muscle/ lose fat will not separate 2 bodybuilders. The genetics of muscle shape, bone structure, skin thickness..etc is not changed by drug use.
Can you get Rich Piana to talk more about his training routine philosophy about changing his body parts trained every week? I heard him mention that he changes what body part he is going to train on a day to day basis and that next week his body parts trained will be completely different from the week previous. For example if he trained chest on Monday, he may train back next Monday depending on what he feels needs improvement or what is still feeling sore. I am very interested to learn more!
Many people don’t like Rich, but the guy was a down to earth,good human being. Thanks Ric for having him on your show. He will be missed.
Your genetics will always limit you and you might not be able to get huge or reach your own personal goals but dont let that discourage you because everybody can reach their own full potential. Everyone should strive to be the best that they can be.
Mark Richardson You must be doing something wrong
Very nicely said brother

Don't worry about genetics, you can't influence them worry about things you can influence such as training hard and eating clean
I remember two brothers that would simply do push ups, sit ups with some weights and both grew stout arms, good shoulders with great abs with no specific routine or diet.
Eggzachly
Programme is fool proof.
I do 200 pushup every other day and I'm jacked. It's genetics while my brother works out everyday and looks like shit.
The brothers shoop and aah.

No more interviews with Ric either!
Either Rich with Ric anymore
@@jbs9373 yeah both out of Breathe and fat too many years
Both of them are gone... damn
@@masajistafitness Well, when you have as much money as Arnold, you can just buy extra organs...
real talk from two guys who know A LOT. seeing these older videos is when Rich was his best with advice. call him what you want but he knew his stuff.
Finally someone comes out and talks the truth. Genetics play a huge role. "you are blessed, the only problem you have is you have to eat MORE" SO TRUE. Rich you're the man.
I love how this show is focus on education the public in a positive way!
I can't get enough of these Ric/Rich videos!!!!! Thumbs up before I even watch them!
Hey, Rich. Your honesty is what sets You apart from the rest in this bullshit ridden world. Keep it up, brother!
Muggsy Bogues was 5'3 and he was a professional basketball player lol
Rich mentioned 5'2.
"lol"

This was a really good video with Rich on genetics and how important a role it plays. just awesome!
Another great video guys!! Checking UA-cam every day for new videos and getting through some of the old ones like ric with robbie Robinson
Awesome video Ric. Thanks so much.
People seem to forget genetics affect how your body responds to drugs as well, and how long you can continue to juice before you crash.
DJYC21215 so I tried to research steroid crash an nothing comes up. So what is a steroid crash ?
This is one of your best videos ric! Thanks a lot.
I got a big back, and even before i started working out i had a big v-taper.
god i miss these videos...RIP Rich Piana...hope you are doing well Mr. Drasin
for real!! been rewatching all the videos this weekend.
Yall brothers are the truth keep up the knowlegde
Love the interviews with you and Rich. Keep them going forever please!

Ric my friend and bodybuilder whose 80 told me that he read about people a few hundred years ago who could work for hours with heavy stone hammers. He said there was an article in a mag called life extension that claimed genes can be switched on and off by work habit and food intake. I wonder whether the key to that dudes arm growth was that he did them every day? that the daily work turned on some of his genes?
Or he was lying and took gear. Oral steroids are readily available in prisons.
Your friend who is huge after coming out of prison > The reason for this is that when people are incarcerated they are entering a dangerous environment, life threatening etc, so their body responds to this environment by producing physiological responses such as increased hormone production etc to protect themselves..I.e. get bigger/stronger.

Many prisons allow you to order suppliments, protein powder, and creatine. Drugs, including anabolics, are also quite accessible in prison too.
I think its the ectomophs that look the best when developed. Good for you sir

If you have a fast metabolism you're blessed because you have to only eat more and everything looks big because of your smaller joints.
Like Flex wheeler (me)
that's true, Rich was talking about mind of matter in the previous video and in this video he seems let genetics let it be a determining factor. Sure some guys can build faster than others but I think just about anyone can develop an impressive physique if they put their mind and body to it.
I have to agree. My boy did them in Prison for entire year.....D ball was readily available through the quards.....
Another great video. Entertaining and informative as always. Thanks guys!
Another good one tks Ric & Rich
The young boy is looking over like he tryna covince his dad
I am same exact way! LOL Trying to cut is ridiculous hard, but lifting heavy and eating and growing comes easy. Hard to find that balance.
Very true, but the ability to grow muscle/ lose fat will not separate 2 bodybuilders. The genetics of muscle shape, bone structure, skin thickness..etc is not changed by drug use.
Can you get Rich Piana to talk more about his training routine philosophy about changing his body parts trained every week? I heard him mention that he changes what body part he is going to train on a day to day basis and that next week his body parts trained will be completely different from the week previous.
For example if he trained chest on Monday, he may train back next Monday depending on what he feels needs improvement or what is still feeling sore.
I am very interested to learn more!
Luv u guys. Great combo team. Great knowledge. Just awesome herring you tslkhe
