Highly effected

but note solely dependent on.

We're not born a pure tabula rasa.

I need to get a drink.. someone watch the live stream and catch me up when I get back 😛

There's a lot less genetic fatalism than people tend to make it seem.

I mean, sure, if you inherit a genetic disorder, that might play in

if you mean some people have a much better starting off point in certain senses, yes. But while that might be genetic, so is our ability to adapt.

But genetically speaking, someone can carry a recessive trait (or a combination of traits) that would lead to a higher IQ

That's also something that can account for potential differences between twins, per se.

starting off is what helps our ability to stay alive until adulthood, the ability to adapt is what keeps us alive as long as possible

Adaption isn't an absolutely native instinct for us.

its not an instinct, its an ability.

hit your arm in the same place every day, the bone in that area grows stronger. rip your muscle tissue over and over and grows back stronger.

Not true.

If you tear a hamstring, the scar tissue can cause you to be more likely to tear a hamstring again.

hamstring is not a muscle

it is a ligament.

when you lift weights, you are actually ripping up your muscles.

"In human anatomy, a hamstring is one of the three posterior thigh muscles in between the hip and the knee."

whad i miss on the live stream?

okay, well thats not exactly what i meant by tearing muscles

but if you want to play that game, sure, BREAKING your bone doesn't make it stronger

that would be the equivalent.

Semantics, guys.

but repeated stress applied to parts of the body, when given periods of rest, grow back stronger

your body reacting to a change in your every day requirements from it

So, anyone on a healthy diet can build muscle, correct?

They can lift weights

get swole

That's just an accepted fact.

Right?

I'm actually asking if that's more or less your point.

Lacking an answer, I'll continue.

i'm fucking eating cunt

give me a minute

jesus

any normal person, yes. not technically everyone. i'm, not count anomalies

So, two people on the same workout should be able to, say, lose weight, or build muscle at the same rate?

roughly the same weight, same age range, same food intake, similar living environments, same sex

yes

that's not a war face
