Another example of genetics/hormones ruling over all. I remember when I took gymceling seriously I'd read up on bulking and cutting, supplements, macronutrients etc, but whenever I'd see someone who was actually in shape 9 times out of 10 it'd just be some guy with good genetics who'd go to the gym when he felt like it and not keep track of macros, or intentionally gain weight for a few months then burn it off.
These guys used to get mocked on /fit/ or reddit for doing "brosplits" (instead of reddit-approved powerlifting routines), but they'd look better than redditors or 4channers every single fucking time. Of course this is because of genetics, if you made them swap routines the gymcels would still look like shit, but still. It was just sad to see these guys hitting the gym 5x a week, writing down every set in a notebook, literally logging their diet in a journal and for nothing.
The disparity in results from gymceling kind of reminds me of workceling (or pretty much all aspects of life). Some guys toil 12 hours a day taking no breaks, do a brilliant job on all their tasks, are never a minute late and never take a single day of holiday or sick leave, yet never get a promotion. Meanwhile 6'3" loud voiced Chad swaggers in one day, fucks up everything he does, but some foid in middle management takes a liking to him, promotes him and the next thing you know he's managing the hardworking incel and with twice his pay.
