What "Genetic-Based Programming" Actually Means
Whenever I tell someone Taylor Made Fitness uses “genetic-based programming,” their first guess is that I send a saliva sample to a lab. I get it — the marketing world has trained us to expect that. But the truth is more practical, and a lot more useful.
Your genetics are already obvious
Your body type, recovery rate, joint structure, hormone profile and training response are written all over you the moment you walk into a gym. They show up in things like: how fast you recover between sets, how your shoulders sit when you bench, where you put on body fat first, and how many sessions per week you can handle before you fall apart.
What I actually look at
- Limb proportions and joint angles (which lifts will reward you, which will punish you)
- Muscle bellies and insertion points (where size will come from quickly vs. slowly)
- Recovery markers — sleep, soreness, mood, training drive
- Past injuries and movement compensations
- Lifestyle stress (job, kids, sleep) that eats your recovery before training does
Why generic programs fail you
When you run someone else’s program, you’re assuming you have their joints, their recovery, their stress profile, their training age and their life. The math almost never works. That’s why people grind through 5/3/1 or PPL splits for six months and walk away with sore knees and no progress.
What changes when programming is yours
Once we’re training around your reality, the unknowns disappear. Form starts clicking faster. Recovery improves. Lifts go up consistently because the program respects what your body can actually do — not what some guy on YouTube can do. That’s the whole game. That’s why every client gets results.
