Many beginners blame their genetics for lack of progress. Often times, the time frame with which they are thinking about the training process is INCREDIBLY short. Yes, of course your genetics can limit your results long term. But you are more likely to run up against time constraints, injury, age etc before you exhaust your genetic potential. But for those of us with modest goals; general health fitness and an athletic physique, training needs to be a lifestyle, not a "get ripped in 6 weeks" program. Just because you didn't get jacked after training for a few months does not mean your genetics are bad. Most people can build the "fighter physique"/warrior aesthetic IF they give themselves time. Most of us do not get in great shape overnight; sure there are some who can, and there are some that START at a place where most of us would be happy to achieve after years of training, but that doesn't mean most of us can't build some incredible health and fitness. Yes, high level bodybuilding and elite fitness goals require elite genetics, but for us average people, our average genetics are plenty of building respectable fitness and aesthetics.
