0:00.0 | Have you ever looked into your genetics and do we ever ask where your genetics are? |
0:04.1 | I have, I have, you know, I've done many DNA testers that I've done one with a company called Moodle |
0:11.7 | who really dived into my DNA and they found a gene called, it's an MSTN deformity actually. |
0:20.2 | And you find it in the Belgian blue cows, you know the big mussely cows that just have mussels and mussels and mussels. |
0:27.0 | So they've got the MSTN gene and they've got type one and humans can have it as well. |
0:32.8 | They can have type one which is very, very rare. I think there's been a few cases of people |
0:37.5 | who have, you see babies with mussels on them but they don't live very long. |
0:42.4 | But then there's a type two MSTN gene where they basically you can, it limits the amount of |
0:51.0 | myostatins produced and myostatin limits how much muscle mass your skeletal frame can hold. |
0:58.4 | So if you've got no myostatin, there's no limit to how big you can get. |
1:03.3 | So I've got this gene where I don't produce as much myostatin as any other person |
1:10.2 | and they call it the Hercules gene. So it's very, super rare. |
1:15.2 | So basically I can hold a lot, lot more muscle mass than any other normal person. |
1:21.8 | And I suppose it was just the stars were aligned |
1:27.2 | that I decided to become the world's strongest man and I had this gene to sort of make it possible. |
1:33.9 | Does anyone your family have it or is it kind of a mutation for you? |
1:36.6 | I believe, I'll put it right there. |
1:40.8 | I believe that, I believe that it runs in the family. I mean I found out |
1:47.3 | once I had this funny story, because once I had this DNA test done, I went out and over |
1:52.0 | it's done. And I found out that I was a large percentage of Scandinavian Swedish Switzerland. |
1:59.2 | And my mum and dad are British. So I was like, this doesn't make sense. So we had the conversation |
2:06.0 | with my mum and everything and it turns out my mum was adopted. So I actually found out that |
