Ofcourse there are some genetically unfortuante people who just cannot grow, but i think most people just don't understand what it takes to look like a pro, the dedication, the iscolation, sacrifice, brains(bodybuilding is mostly mental), the money(these people probably spend 100k+ a year just on AAS & GH etc, not including food). What i'm trying to say is, good genetics isn't all these guys have, my hat goes off to them for their dedication and hard work and i would kill to one day achieve what Markus Ruhl has.
