Compare the Western tradies to the tradies in African and Asian countries, the Asian and African tradies are shredded AF so imagine if the Western tradies took their diets seriously?

Just look at the juicy forearms and calves your average Joe working as a tradie, even your average jacked up dude who has been hitting the gym for 10 years doesn't have the thickness he has.

ONE COPY of the gene is proposed to make one more likely to have fast-twitch dominant muscle fibers, not two. I'm not saying anything about sickle cell anemia. Read the research review I posted. Negs in return, dumbass. Edit:http://sajithpai.com/wp-content/uplo...-Summary-1.pdf

In addition, I have fought lots of black people, for work, and they aren't strong. They just look muscle due to the low body fat thing.

The strongest people in the world are white people and they tend to look far more chubby than black people, unless gear, etc.

I'm talking about black guys who don't exercise but look muscular. Many girls are like this too, you can see the form of the muscle in their arms and legs, but it's just the form and not solid muscle.

A black people person who exercise will have solid muscles just like anyone else.

I don't have a lot of experience grabbing black people's limbs but there is a biological explanation.

It could just be that black people naturally have a tendency for greater sarcoplasmic hypertrophy instead of myofibrillar, and also have looser, less tense muscles to maintain cooler temperatures more easily.

Intra muscular water retention. Certain supplements are know to affect that!

Also site enhancement oil would definitely give jelly muscles.

Neither of which have anything to do with skin pigmentation.

That's because all your seeing is skin over muscle and it makes them look like they bodybuild, but it's just due to lack of fat.
gonna go down to detroit and touch some black people to confirm if this is true or not, will report back

Never change misc.

Even obese slobs have solid muscle fibers underneath all that fat.

My oldest son is not one of them.

He's only 10 but must be close to 3% bodyfat. And shredded.

He has abs and has never trained in his life. I'm talking jacked fribras abs too.

This doesn't make sense muscles require a lot of calories, so having a good supply of food should better allow people with a high muscle mass to survive and pass on their genes.

This. In India the boatsmen, who spent the entire day punting were also in great shape.

Another factor is their super shiny dark skin making these tribesmen always look like they have an Instagram filter permanently on them.

West African genetics.

This is why every jacked athlete you see will have west african roots. The little scrawny guys like marathon runners are all from the east.

Of course during the slave trade the ones from the west were desirable because of their genetics.
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda
