I personally think genetics play a bigger role than diet or training. Some people can get big and some can't.
I have a friend who is a health nut. He diets by the gram, eats great, clean, and plenty. Lifted faithfully for close to 10 years, 6 days a week and cannot break the 200 mark.
I was in jail with this 18 year old kid, he took his shirt off and the kid would put many people here to shame. He was 6'2" 235 and about 10% bf. I asked him about his work out plan. The kid never lifter! Ever! WTF??? A little time on the gym and this kid would be the next Arnold!
In my own opinion my buddy deserves a shot at aas more then my roommate in jail. He doesn't fit the criteria that many people preach on this forums, but he has pushed himself to his generic potential regardless of what he weighs. That's why I think it is wrong to advise some of these people they can't use aas because they under 200lbs.
