We love to blame DNA. Not fast enough? Genetics. Not explosive enough? Genetics. Not naturally strong? Genetics. And sure, genetics matter. But Werner Günthör is a pretty incredible example of why they’re not the end of the conversation. He didn’t have the muscle fiber profile you’d expect from one of the best shot putters in the world. So he spent 15 years training. And the fast-twitch fibers he did have got ridiculously big. He didn’t rewrite his DNA. He just got a hell of a lot more out of what he was given. That’s probably a better way to think about genetics anyway. You don’t control what you start with. You do control what you build with it. #strengthandconditioning #powertraining #power
