I dunno - i too have far from ideal genetics, my body is good - but it is hard to gain muscle, especially on a budget!
Saying that, i am close to my goal for my first show - 14st (197-8lbs) in contest shape, allowing me to get into the under 90kg group but being at the top weight for the group…
10lbs or so…
I agree that waiting is best all around. Even for those totally gifted, it is prudent to compete in a few shows naturally - practice makes perfect. AAS aren’t NEEDED for those who have what it takes, in the beginning at least.
