But because um I also played soccer and skateboarding , but I didn't do any baseball , basketball or football , muscle groups like deltoids are very challenging to activate and isolate . So I do think that early development is super imposed on a genetic template that sort of predicts which muscle groups are going to be easier or harder to isolate and , and train . It's also a very good case for why it's important to do as many different athletic activities as you can in your youth .
Just recognize that's extremely common and that it's probably going to take you many , many , many months of trying before you start to see some movements and probably even a few years before you really start to see activation . So you , you're not some sort of like specific , like special genetic anomaly . It's very , very common .
Yeah , I've noticed that many of the muscle groups that were responsible for a large fraction of the work in the various sports that I played as a young child are muscles that are very easy for me to selectively isolate and induce hypertrophy . And um I suppose I'm one of those mutants where my lats happened to be one such of those muscle groups . But I think that's because I swam a lot when I was a kid .
We work out together , uh she triples in muscle size and I don't have like no gain whatsoever . Well , there's a lot of um work that we're trying to do to identify the molecular mechanism behind responders and nonresponders because they clearly exist . In fact , this is one of the reasons why uh every paper I basically will ever publish again .
It was freedom and it didn't require any coaches or parental oversight . Ball sports have the beauty of , of reaction and things like that . So all of them are wonderful .
