now i know genetics have a lot to play in your ability to build muscle, but i wondered also about height. for example im 6 foot 4, and have always been naturally quite big, now would this mean id have a better ability to build muscle than someone smaller, or am i talking S***.

Bro I think genetics play a very important roll at first, but even with great genes diet and working out play the biggest part on how you are going to look, it is what you put into your body and build your body is the deciding factor....

basically then it is all down to genetics, but it shows up better on people with smaller frame. does anyone have any tips for the bigger builder.

im also 6'4... guys like us have to put on more muscle to look bigger, even though we are bigger... theres more mass, so 10lbs on us might look like 15lbs on someone who is 6 inches shorter...

in other words, get your diet in check and get your ass in the gym
