    Lots of possibilities. You have to look at family history, physical self history, past and present medical conditions. To many factors for anyone to guess without knowing a lot more.

    There is NO WAY to figure this out ahead of time. The ONLY way you can determine this is through time in the gym with optimal diet. You realize you are at your genetic potential when you "hit the wall" and no matter what, you cannot squeeze any more gains out. this is a slow process taking many years. Most will never really know their true genetic potential/limit. Most get too frustrated after hitting a wall and then no progress for a few months. Had they tinkered with their nutrition plan, or developed a new lifting protocol, they probably would have been able to kick start the engines of progress again. Most amateur weight lifters will never truly realize their genetic potential, as they do not devote enough energy into finding out. It is also contrary to what most here are trying to do. We want to continue gains, and when things slow down, we don't think to ourselves, "Gee, I wonder how many months of no gains can i go before I can truly say I've hit my genetic limit". Most will reach for that bottle of AAS to continue their gains.

    Give yourself maybe another 15 years..... Natty pros are still making progress in there 40's....

    This whole genetic potential stuff is a load of crap... And you cant alter it

    a wise man said chemicals beat genetics anyday. And I also don't buy the ecto endo meso morph stuff either. Some people just believe it is impossible to change the width of your frame.
