Greg is right. I have (at least) below level genetics as well. My wrist is tiny as hell lol. I was 55kg at 186cm at age 19. Now I'm 85kg, 187cm at age 27. Been in the gym for 8 years. My upper arms have grown about 8cm over time. I still look like I've never been to the gym lol. I've put so much work in, learned about how to train smarter, doubted myself a lot. Honestly, I started to get demotivated. I just switched to other sports. Now doing crossfit (yes I know lol), but turns out I'm good at the technical and cardio part and all of a sudden I'm near the top of the group instead of at the bottom. But most important: I feel and look healthy.

And that leads to less muscle insertion in his left pec. He will always look assimetric and it doesnt mean he can't lift a good amount of weight. It won't just develop as most people without scoliosis.

Keep in mind low testosterone is on the rise among the younger generations today for various reasons, some related to lifestyle, some related to physical abnormalities, so getting checked and talking to an endocronologist is a good idea.

he does look better than 80% of men agree, and something else, this is the sort of body women go for, bit of shape, doesn't look like he spends all his time in the gym, decent bodyfat% and throw in the fact that he doesn't take himself too seriously....us gym rats find that impossible to understand, but it's the truth for most women(probably not the fit gym girls, but they're not MOST women)

that is not a good result for anyone

I actually admire guys like this. I love the gym and I love the science of nutrition, but I’m not sure I would’ve stuck with it for 7 years with minimal gains.

Greg could you please make a video to help out guys with klinefelter syndrome . We know that we cant change completely but it could be helpful if you could provide a workout regiment or tips to at least improve our body shape .

This guy's problem is very common. His genetics aren't bad, he would simply look much better if he dropped to around 15% bodyfat while continuing what he's doing in the gym. There is a middle ground between where he started in 2016 and where he is today. The problem with beginners in the gym is that they are told by everyone that they need to bulk up to get shredded. The result is they look like they have the muscles, but they can't shake that last bit of body fat on their belly and elsewhere. This guy's issue is that he has a gut, his body fat is too high, and clearly doesn't do much cardio.

@@markoein5067 I want him to lose his belly fat through mostly cardio, while continuing to do what he's doing in the gym -- which I'm confident isn't as much as he thinks he's doing. It doesn't look to me like he goes to the gym more than 3 times per week.

Bro, you're letting your body dysmorphia influence your perspective. That guy was already lean, why should he go down to single digit bodyfat?

@@Anon-qp3kt I don't agreee with you that he's lean, he has a gut and is skinny fat with the muscular gains of someone who works out here and there. I have been in his position before and can tell you from experience, he needs to keep (or start) working out consistently and make cardio a daily thing. Nobody said he should go down to single digit bodyfat, since he's slightly above 20% right now. I'm saying that if he wants to look shredded, he should be aiming for at least 15%, period. I guess I'm just confused where you're coming from. Are you under the impression he has a lower bodyfat percentage than he does, or are you suggesting he should eat MORE? When you say that 'body dysmoprhia' is clouding my judgment, I have to laugh because if this guy's goal is to have a normal and 'healthy' weight, he should just keep doing what he's doing because he looks fine. If, however, he wants to maximize the appearance of his physique the way a bodybuilder would, then I would recommend he aim for 15% while consistently hitting the gym and cardio resulting in a caloric deficit.

Coach G been confirming my godly genetics for years, im bout to change the game 😴

Coach your such a great guy!! I can’t believe how disgusting humanity has become, instead of being uplifting like you just were ppl want to throw stones and tear ppl down! COACH GREG YOUR STILL MY #1 FITNESS TUBER 👍👍👍

Love your style, it's like a burst of creativity in every video!

We need to see how he trains and what his numbers are, i bet he has some flaws in his training whether its splits, no compounds or no progression method. I am sure he could improve on a program of compounds building up to a 1 rep max each day. That is how i built mine. Genetics can affect it like how i can do a 3 plate chin up, but when people see me starting the lift they think i could never, cuz my biceps look unimpressive.

I'm in a similar place to this guy and sometimes when I have a bad day I feel bad about my physique. But overall I feel proud about the progress I have made, as my Initial goal was to have a "normal" body (I used to run around with arms looking like sticks)... In fact most of the people that started going to the gym 8 years ago probably quit long ago. So if you are still training you automatically are within the top %. Most people on the Planet never even see a gym from the inside

Training to failure every set is something beginners in the lifting world preach.

A lot of people convince themseleves they train harder than others and thats why they have their physiques. When i was younger me and my bestfriend trained exactly the same pushing each other with drop sets etc past exhaustion and pain. He got twice or more times as strong as me and looked 2-3 times better than me. Definitely mostly about genetics imo. Could also be that he had a better base line of fitness from playing outside more than me like being more flexible and having better cardio but nobody talks about that.

Greg thanks for speaking the truth. I have been working out for years as a natural and I work out pretty hard for my age. Always had shit genetics. Slightly sunken chest etc. With all my years at it I look better than a lot of guys my age but nothing great. I have had friends that look better than me and don’t even touch weights. It can be frustrating but it is what it is. Appreciate you speaking to this.

As long as there was a change. It is progress.

In my opinion, I think his physique is good for 8 years in spite of his genetics, and I'm pretty sure his body fat is high, and by cutting all that fat, he would be on many people's dream physiques. Social media is fked.

Thank you coach Greg for defending us people with shitty genetics. I’m tired of people telling me I’m not working hard enough / eating right. Meanwhile I can guarantee I work harder than them (till failure every set) and my diet is dialed in. But since I have shitty genetics, i by default look like shit.

Poor guy. I have had a greater change between this morning before my workout and now, after lol but I seriously admire this guy because it's hard enough to continue to go to the gym when you put on less muscle than you think you should let alone little to nothing like he's got

This is a good video.

i even have term for this: it`s called ``delusion of internet`` which means on internet 9 out of 10 people WILL exxaggarate their thing by 10 times ... Video game example: read comment section for league of legends, 9 out of 10 people will claim that they are diamonds education example: almost everyone on youtube will claim that they have at least college degree and almost none of the people will say that they have regular jobs xD etc... fitness is not an exception to this rule lol which means that 9 out of 10 guys claiming or implying to have better body then this guy probably does not. xD
