Whatever you kunce have been waffling on about - what attributes make pros so successful. People talking in absolutes, no it's genetics, no it's work ethic, no its the drugs.
Fact is it varies from person to person. You have successful pros who have unreal genetics but are reputed to have poor(er) work ethics and diet regimens and less genetically gifted athletes who supposedly had meticulous work ethics. As far as the drugs go the average punter will never know for sure. You hear are rumors on forums etc but I don't doubt that pro cycles vary as much from person to person as their diets do. There are valid commercial reasons pro's training/nutrition/drug regimens are always filtered before reaching the public domain. One thing I'm sure of is that if you're 300 odd lbs and eating 6,7,8,9 thousand calories a day, you aint' doing that on chicken breast and broccoli.
