What This Bodybuilding Genetics Calculator Estimates

This calculator gives a practical, modelled genetics score for bodybuilding-oriented muscular development. It combines frame structure and potential muscularity estimates rather than using one single metric.

Scoring Model

The composite model uses three layers:

  1. Structure score from frame leverage index: wrist and ankle circumferences relative to height.
  2. Potential score from projected normalized FFMI at selected target body fat.
  3. Weighted composite: genetics score = 70% potential score + 30% structure score.

Current execution score is informational only. It shows where current normalized FFMI sits versus modelled potential and is not part of the composite weighting.

How To Use This Score

Use this output for expectation-setting and planning. It helps identify whether slower progress is more likely due to training execution or biological leverage limits.

For direct FFMI context, compare with the FFMI Calculator. For frame-adjusted natural ceiling screening, use the Natty or Not Calculator. For ceiling utilization and target-weight planning, use the Muscular Potential Calculator.

If you want an anthropometric bodybuilding model centered on wrist/ankle structure and estimated circumference targets, compare this against the Casey Butt Calculator.

Limitations and Bias Sources

This is a heuristic model, not a direct genetic test and not a medical diagnostic tool. It does not capture all contributors to physique outcomes, including training age, injury history, nutrition adherence, sleep, and drug use.

Body-fat error can distort both current and projected FFMI. For cleaner trend quality, repeat inputs under consistent conditions and cross-check body-fat assumptions with methods like the Body Fat Calculator or photo-based estimator.
