1- Do you have the genetic potential to be a great bodybuilder ?
2- Bodybuilding, Hormonal composition, Neurological efficiency :
Hormonal composition
The ideal hormonal composition for a bodybuilder would include high endogenous production of androgens and growth hormone, low cortisol levels, and insulin sensitivity.
Those who are blessed with a higher hormonal composition can often hypertrophy some muscle groups with very little stimulus.
In 1982, Dr. M. Dietmar Schmidtbleicher of the Institute of Sports Sciences at the University of Freiburg, shows the computed tomography of subjects who underwent a training protocol for triceps, those with the highest hormonal profiles experienced an hypertrophy not only in the triceps, but also in the brachials and biceps, which are the muscles that have antagonistic functions to triceps.
They had a better hormonal profile, there was a non-specific hypertrophic response, even in the unsolicited muscles!
Neurological efficiency.
In bodybuilding jargon, this means: are you more "repetitions" or "heavy weights".
A "repeat" person will make 20 repetitions at 80% of his maximum, while a "heavyweight" person will make only 3, and an average person will make about 7 repetitions at this percentage.
The most blessed individuals are generally poor in relative endurance, in other words they are of the "heavyweight" type.
These people can draw from the higher threshold fibres, and therefore can stimulate a greater proportion of their muscle fibres. I would add that this factor is not very important, but it is important to point it out, because there are many professional bodybuilders with extreme levels of hypertrophy that were "rep" type. For example, Serge Nubret was a "reps" guy, while Franco Columbu was a "heavyweight".
