I'm considering sipping some Sunny Delight soon, so I'm just curious if I have decent genetics for bodybuilding:

17 years old, lifted for football in this photo



After my first ever successful cut in my early 20s:



I lost more muscle than I should have because I was eating 16-1800 calories, lifting 5-6 days a week, running 40+ miles a week, and swimming because I wanted to try out for BUDs




in between my cut before I went overboard with the endurance/cardio training:




Disclaimer: I look pretty avg now.

Amazing genetics
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

Good genetics. Current height/weight? If you're going to ride mountain bikes, better make sure you know what you're doing.

6'0 165-8. I've made 0 progress for years now because I can't stay consistent with my goals. 1 month I want to gain, the next month I want to just maintain and run more

Small waist to good clavicle ratio, pretty good muscle insertions, I would say good genetics, a little more mass and you will be aight.

Same lol, I was a dumbass. Still played in college but if I had that extra edge...

I remember talking to a classmate in middle school who admitted to taking something. Looking back I should have been like that, doing whatever it takes.
