I have run into a few big brain biochemists etc and I have asked about this.

My thoughts were that it was true, and it set off some sort of memory pathway in my brain (I read New Scientist, Scientific American, British Medical Journal, New England Journal of Medicine like some women read HELLO) however, as I read so MUCH (+ uni) I don't always remember everything! Also, as I have no time to loads of extra medline searches.......................................... .....I took advantage of their knowledge base

Here are a few of their replies.

My own opinion is that it is more or less accurate in the absence of AAS. Most people can get fit and healthy with the correct diet and workout regimen but the vast majority do not have genetics that lend themselves to the bulky BB physique. In fact, most people are glad they can't get that look. The freakish BB look doesn't appeal to the majority of people.

Now, chemicals like AAS, growth hormone, insulin, and even creatine make that goal attainable by a larger percentage of the population but if they stop using those drugs, they will eventually lose much of the mass they attained while using them. It may take a long time for some if they continue to pay attention to their diet and workout correctly; years even. But eventually, they will lose it. The genetics to support that physique just aren't there. With proper diet and exercise, some of the added mass can be kept but that is highly variable between individuals. Some are able to keep more than others

And another

This is 100% true, and the reason is myostatin. Which basically the genetic regulator of how big you can be. it does this by basically regulating the myoD level in your stem cells. This directly effects their ability to reproduce and join existing muscle cells.

there are methods through training to reduce myostatin experssion though. The whole manipulation of the physiological pathways for hypertrophy is the whole basis of my new research based training method GTP for those who havent read about it yet.

So the answer is this is about 99% true. But there a few that can/will find a way to get beyond this factor by using GTP type training and supps/drugs
