Thanks very much Johno, genetics most def play a large role in how strong an individual will become. In my case I played around with a lot of different sports and began weight lifting at a young age. I never used a lot of weight when I began training, I just focused on light squats, benches, clean and jerks, snatches and curls. I first started squating with a broom handle and just practiced getting the handle low on my back for the squat.
I think you or anybody else can develop great strength with consistency, patience and lots of weekends not drinking(ha ha). It doesnt realy matter how old you are, but it can take years to get your tendons strong to cope with massive weights.
For me its a bit of both, genetics and staying active as a kid.
