So up guys, Derek and we're played tomorrow dates.com. Today we're going to be talking about the genetic mutation study that was done on Flex Wheeler.

And what I've come to learn is actually a number of other Mr. Olympia competitors as well as other top IFB pros, powerlifters and other elite athletes.

So it's really insightful study. And I'm not sure why nobody has gone another way to dig this up.

But it's extremely interesting.

It delves into myostatin, myostatin inhibition, deletions, and the double muscle phenotype that you see in cattle famously.

And how this relates to humans and genetic phenoms like Flex Wheeler.

So it's theorized in the bodybuilding community that the reason Flex Wheeler and other top Olympia caliber bodybuilders are able to build such incredible physiques is due to myostatin deficiency.

So other popular theories circulate around that include ideas as vastly different as androgen receptor sensitivities,

higher and top bodybuilders to the complete opposite side of the spectrum or some believe that

it's just training past a certain pain threshold and that's what separates champions from the rest.

And genetics are just a small factor in determining bodybuilding success and whoever worked harder

than the next guy is going to,

you know, do better. And in this video, I basically delve into the gene mutations themselves

claims about top Mr. Olympia bodybuilder's DNA and outline what kind of potential impact myostatin

has shown to have in the clinical data. So in addition, I also am going to talk, you know,

the study about Flex Wheeler obviously and a handful of other Mr. Olympia competitors and show

it was actually revealed about their DNA as well as how it compared to average individuals. And I

found it very, very insightful. So getting into the gene itself and its role in myostatin production.

So the MSTN gene is a gene that makes instructions for producing the protein myostatin.

It regulates skeletal muscle growth by restraining it when necessary.

In turn, it prevents the body from gaining too much muscle.

So current research that surrounds myostatin is based around its treatment for musculoskeletal degenerative diseases.
