Most of the reason why people gain muscle at different rates isn't because of their genes—it's because of things they can change, like how hard they train, how much they eat, and how focused they are...

Adding just one or two extra sets of exercise per week probably won’t make your muscles grow any more, because everyone’s body reacts differently and it’s hard to measure tiny changes accurately.

Everyone’s body responds differently to workouts—what works wonders for one person might be too much or too little for another, because of differences in genes, energy use, and how fast they recover.
