How many people are walking around, right now, with an Arnold chest, or Platz legs, and we'll never know it because they'll never hit the gym and unlock their potential?

Maybe a Ronnie Coleman is out there, sitting on his couch eating Doritos being fat as fuck.

For some reason this thought really disturbs me. There are probably thousands of people with top-tier bodybuilding genetics just wasting their potential, and the world will never know what could have been.

“No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. What a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.” - Socrates
 
While this is true, it can be said for all ventures in life not just bodybuilding.

Ive been criticized many times for my lack of effort towards many endeavors in life that dont have my full interest but i would excell at.

The whole what could have been. Its interesting to think about.

Also interesting is the ones that dont have what it takes but dont take no for an answer. Keep pushing as hard as they can and may never even understand that it wasnt thier calling. Again, not just bodybuilding.

What i do hate though is when people take advantage of others with the hey man/girl you have potential, you should sign up for program a, b, c, just to take money or worse abuse people. Its very very common. Greed is a terrible thing!
 
Agree to both.

My son was always good at any sport I put him in but didn’t really have interest in it and wouldn’t want to do any work to get better. In lacrosse he was one of the best players about two games into his first season after only about 3 practices.

It’s annoying as I was always pretty good at sports but had to work at it, that’s why I starting lifting weights in high school.
 
Well growing up, i had this big fucking chip on my shoulder that made me hate basically everything. I finished school but i did the min just to get the diploma. It wasnt until i found weights that i really put real effort towards something.
As a adult, working construction jobs, i found i was smarter then most on the sites, which is why i became foreman and site managers.
The thought is always there, that what if i wasnt an asshole growing up. What could i have done?
But, im married to a good woman and we own good house in a good neighborhood and we both have good pensions.
I guess i should be happy i didnt wind up in prison
 
What really bothers me are the Mozarts and Einsteins being held back in school as a result of the kids in their class that constantly cause disturbances or those that just are not fit for that type of environment.
I like to think that these kids will get there eventually but I can't imagine the amount of untapped potential that is out there, across all avenues of life.

If that's you in your profile pic, then i dare say you've at least realized your genetic potential when it comes to your physique!
 
Wasted genetics or better yet wasted potential. Think about the flip side though maybe arnold or Coleman could have cured cancer or saved millions of lives but instead they lifted weights.

Oh man, don't do this to me! I'm already looking at every out-of-shape person wondering what genetically gifted body parts they're hiding, and now you want me thinking about the flip side too??
