Are blacks superior genetically bodybuilding-wise?

Just going based on who the top pros have been over the past 20 years, you would have to say that like in basketball or footballs, black people just seem to have better genetics overall for it. Sure it is a generalization, but when you consider that Flex, Ronnie, Shawn Ray, Shawn Rhoden, Phil Heath, Dexter Jackson, Dillet, Kai, Cormier, Dennis James, Levrone.

Sure there are great white bodybuilders, but it does seem to me like black genetics once again make them superior in this sport. For a small segment of the population to dominate the sport like that is really something. And YES I am aware that a lot of the guys I listed are not 100% black, but it sure doesn't seem to hurt having some black genetics in you.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you see this trend continuing? Obviously with Kai and Phil on top right now and Shawn in third, it is hard to see it changing any time soon, but how do you explain this dominance by the black bodybuilders?

There is no trend. There never has been.

i think they tend to have smaller waists and rounder muscle bellies, but you cans still be a great non-black bodybuilder

You'll find just as many successfull white bodybuilders as black. Even in amateur shows IMO.

But even if not the difference probably isn't that great. Yes blacks have superior genetics most of the time, but that alone doesn't win shows.

this is what i think. you can have mass/flow/a great physique being any race but i've never seen a white person have muscle bellies like heath, wheeler, etc

This dude is pretty rounded



Then there's also guys like Strydom



Generally though imo it seems like black folk more often have thinner bones and rounder muscles than their white counterparts, and the naturally dark skin helps their overall presentation.

Well that was my point. And even though Other than Jay, black bodybuilders have been winning since Dorian's time. And even if it were 50/50, that would prove the theory that they are superior, as with blacks being a minority, the ratio shouldn't be anywhere close to that, but white bodybuilders should be dominating.
