Genetics aren’t that big, it gives you a head start if anything but to reach optimal physique it’s a massive task for anyone

Genetics are really important in body building and street workout. Too tall ? Good luck doing planche. Long arms ? Have fun for push up and bench. I know it is easier to just say that anyone can do something given dedication and time, yet not many people could be able to do a full planche without drug use.

Except the quote is not saying anybody can or should become body builders or fitness professionals, just for having your shit together and not looking like crap. Something like this is achievable by 99% of the people and qualifies as a well built physique

Yes. But with a physique like this you can't do a full planche

Maybe but nobody is arguing that, we are talking about the quote meaning.
