How do you know if you have good bodybuilding genetics?

By lifting some heavy ass weights. Lol. Stop thinking bout it too much, and spent that time thinking bout the gyn.

You’re a man, that’s enough. Your genetics got you this far in the ancestral line, they’ll go another generation for sure. Just STFU and lift, and go hit on bitches once you’re in better shape. It all depends on you.

If you're that tall you'll have a hard time being wide unless you're insanely jacked. So if you're lean you likely need to gain a ton of muscle if you want to look filled out. The average height of Mr. Olympia winners is 5'9''.

There's a difference between having good bodybuilding genetics and having the ability to build a v-taper.

I'm an NPC judge.

Right from the onset, you sound like you're setting yourself up for defeat. Hypothetical: let's say your genetics "wouldn't allow it", as you put it - what would be your next move? Plastic surgery? Throw in the towel and a beer and doritos diet with zero exercise from here until the end?

I've got friends who have naturally enormous calves. I wasn't 'gifted' with those, but that didn't stop me from hitting the iron, and I've got a friend with pectus excavatum who'd kill to have the chest I've built up over the years.

Go hit the gym for a solid year along with a proper diet, and then maybe you can regress back to your current worried state and take it from there (i.e. to keep working out or not..)

Doesn't matter, even people with "bad" genetics could get hella jacked.

What does it matter? Just go lift and build muscle, and stop trying to hamster reasons why it's pointless.
