Thread 76471711

This is Flex Wheeler. He has a genetic myostatin deficiency which allows him to build muscle faster than a regular person. This is why it's so unbelievable to see regular dudes go from rails to buff in a year and claim they didn't use steroids, when even the guys with the best genetics can't get that big without steroids. If you guys are making solid gains year on year you're doing good. It takes time to get huge.

Good shape and good roid response. Couldn't withstand larger doses like ronnie. Tries to take as much drugs as ronnie was taking and ended up in the hospital then retired. Later he filled his arms with synthol for some reason. Was also a compulsive liar and claimed he was beaten up by ninjas.

He had a smaller frame than Ronnie and didn't work out as hard as him, got beaten on the back.

I'm similar after a year but not as lean

>He has a genetic myostatin deficiency
What's the downside?

>>76472760
Well it wouldn't have been good in an evolutionary sense to spend resources on maintaining a lot of muscle mass in the past I assume. He also had a leg amputated recently because of vascular problems, no idea if that has to do with it.

>>76471711 (OP)
Nah that's roids you're smoking crack

>>76472760
there's no downsides because he doesn't have a myostatin deficiency. he has a good response to roids. that's it. he's a stick without roids and a confirmed compulsive liar. no one who's ever claimed to have a myostatin deficiency has ever been able to prove it.

He was natural or doing a very low dose cycle until 1985. There are fitness influencers who look much bigger than he did after 3 years while having subpar genetics.

what the timestamp where it shows proof of myostatin deficiency?

>>76473583
6:20 it is a real study, 9 of the men had a knockout of at least one of the two genes, and flex had the rarest kind.

>>76473589
it's a quote by victor conte. the guy who told on a bunch of roiding athletes to save his own ass. balco "did a study" but never published the results or provided any proof the study ever existed. let's spend a shitload of money doing genetic testing on a bunch of athletes and bodybuilders and never document any of it. who does that? no one ever.

>>76471711 (OP)
Myostatin deficiency in humans is overplayed and there is no evidence showing that competitive bodybuilders have some sort of polygenic myostatin deficiency compared to the average person, the main things that determine the ability to build muscle are:
muscle fiber counts
androgen levels
igf-1 levels

Flex wheeler had impressive structure for bodybuilding, but notice how he looked normal when in the first photo, you know... when he was natural.

If he never got on gear no one would know his name.

I have hypothyroidism, low test and high igf-1 (at the cusp of abnormal) what does this mean?

>>76474329
It means you have hypothyroidism, low test and high igf-1.

>>76474083
He didn't look impressive at all in the first photo, worse than some of the people who post here that it's over and they lost the genetic lottery.

>He didn't look impressive at all in the first photo
I agree, I meant that his structure(narrow waist and hips) is good for bodybuilding.

>>76471751
He never claimed that tho, he said someone tried to rob him and used some shit like a nunchaku to threaten him, the story then got blown out of proportion

>>76474841
>He didn't look impressive at all in the first photo
Because standards of natty growth even for people with elite genetics has been completely skewed by fake nattys claiming they got huge in a year.
