Forward Head Posture

[x]

we need to come up with some bulls**t study that "proves" weak jaws are advantageous and then post it all over facebook

and people with just quote and requote the title and at most barely glacne at the abstract

Nah that'd make us look like an insecure bunch

Just have to act like your the s**t and eventually people will want to emulate you

do you guys think muscles are genetic?   (i'm obv biased bc of eds)

 i remember reading glute muscles and calf muscles are genetic

I'm not sure what you're asking... most everyone has those kind of muscles 

Do you mean muscle size? or muscle insertion?

ooops, size!!!  i saw on tv once this guy getting calf muscle implants and the surgeon said it was genetics (of course tho, he wanted his money)

I think genetics plays a part. I build muscles very quickly, but a friend of mine cannot build up his calves to save his life, AND he's a personal trainer. We eat the same diet so unless he processes proteins differently, I'm gonna chalk it up to genetics.

Yeah, I have a big problem with my calves - they are extremely stubborn. They actually have grown a bit recently, but compared to the rest of me they are still not proportional.

I would NEVER consider getting any sort of muscular implants...that's going way too far I think.

Yeah like the others said, size (and potential to gain size) is partly genetic, most noticeably on the forearms and the calves.

nef, the trainer had decent sized muscles elsewhere right?

weird you can have potential to gain muscle in some areas but not others....hrmm
 

that would suck to be a guy and have this problem.  i mean you could try implants or hormones but id rather just accept that i was scrawny.  implants on your calves are embarrassing!!  and hormones are super dangerous.

It does suck, I have chicken legs and when I gain weight or work out, very little of the mass goes to the calves so it's pretty futile. It runs in the family, my grandfather has it too. My forearms can get pretty big though which is nice.

I've accepted and embraced scrawniness though.

It seems to be just his calves. I wouldn't have noticed had he not mentioned. He has a naturally skinny and/or lean body type, but it appears that he builds muscle everywhere else just fine. Trust me when I say that his calves do not detract from his overall physique  . Point is, a man can have underdeveloped calves and look good.

sounds like a hottie, nef :p

i am embracing my scrawniness more than i used to...  at least im pear shaped.  i think i read "apples" aren't as healthy lol.

Well, he does seem to bring all the girls (and boys) to the yard.
