Myths
“Many people tend to think
that the reason our bodies
look the way they do is down
to genetics, and although
genetics does play a part
regarding the development of
our muscles, the common
myth that we inherit body
composition from our parent’s
is just simply not true. We can
achieve almost any body
shape if we channel our
training specifically to our
goal.”
