As previously suggested, the basic concept of bodybuilding is that bodybuilders (whether professional or amateur) increase their muscle mass while reducing fat levels with the basic objective of looking strong, athletic and generally well muscled.
In order to achieve their objectives, it is therefore necessary for a bodybuilder to work on developing their musculature. In short, all bodybuilders bulk up their muscle mass until they either start winning the competitions that they enter or until they ‘look the way they have always wanted to look’.
However, there is one cloud on this theoretical horizon, which is the fact that no bodybuilder starts with an empty canvas on which they can paint. On the contrary, every bodybuilder starts with the body they have already got, and there is some evidence that the body type and shape that you start with will to an extent dictate how successful you are as a bodybuilder in the future.
To some degree, your success as a bodybuilder is partially genetic, because like any artist or artisan, you can only work with the raw materials you have been given.
There are various genetic factors at work which will to a degree dictate how good a bodybuilder you might become. Let’s start to consider some of these factors.
