How do you calculate muscle potential?

The formula is pretty easy, you simply subtract 100 from your height in centimeters to find out your MMP, which is represented by your maximum natural weight in kilos at 5% – 6% body fat.

What is my genetic limit for muscle?

A FFMI of 25 is the number usually thrown around as the upper limit, even for someone with great genetics. But as we’ve seen, there are people who go beyond that. We know that a FFMI of at least 27.3 is attainable naturally, and there it’s almost certain that there are people beyond this.

How do you determine genetic potential?

The genetic potential of a population can be estimated by the probability that a currently favored codon in the population will mutate to a currently unfavored or intermediate codon.

What is my natural muscle potential?

Most men can naturally gain 40 to 50 pounds of muscle in their lifetimes, and most women can naturally gain 20 to 25 pounds. Research shows that you can use the circumference of your wrists and ankles to predict how much muscle you can gain naturally.

How long does it take to reach genetic potential bodybuilding?

It’s an asymptotic function. Think of it this way: with each year of optimal training you can build half of the muscle still missing. After 1 year you’ll be halfway there and after 5 years of optimal training you’d be at 97% of your potential.

Can you be 100 percent muscle?

Even at full effort, most people do not generate 100 percent of the force their muscles can physiologically produce, Jenkins said.
