Does anyone have weird shit that happens to them due to their genetics?

So I am genetically lean in my lower body. Too lean. Like I got IFBB pro level legs in terms of size and vascularity when I was at 15% bf, I get a calf vein too. I actually have huge calves and legs even tho I train quads after a push day and hamstring after a pull day, so no dedicated leg day and it's at the end of my workouts.

The main side effect, when I get lean enough, 12% or under, the fat in my glutes disappears, thus I get insane tailbone pain when sitting anywhere. I feel like this should be more common but I have never heard about it ever.

This just sounds weird typing it, but nothing is too weird for the internet as I have learned.

Fun fact I haven't trained legs in 2 years due to it being fucking humongous ( I wanted to wear chinos :( ), 6 months into leg training and its as dominant as my upper body.

I don't think it's abnormal to have vascularity in your legs at 15% especially if you have decent muscle mass there. Especially calves.

I think the glute fat thing is just a male vs female thing. If you want more padding on your booty, run your estrogen up :D
 
Any chance the tail bone pain is from lack of training your lower half and general imbalance from top to bottom?

I get insane tail bone pain...but not due to cutting...bilateral hip dysplasia that went way too many years without being diagnosed. Thus my entire posterior chain has no idea how to work together. My freaking quads to the work of my hamstrings (yeah yeah, I know that is virtually impossible...but even things like leg curls will be completely quad-activating for me rather than hamstrings.

Just throwing all that out there.

Thankfully that’s not my issue. I did some quick PT tests and activation isn’t an issue.

Even as I grew my lower half it gets a bit better but as soon as I lean out, comes back again. Weird fucking thing.

The diagnosis I feel is closest is that I have a bone spur at the lower tip of the coccyx. A bone spur is a thickening of the bone. It usually forms a pointy area extending downwards and backwards from the lower tip of the coccyx.

Weird genetic type shit. I wonder if there is smth weirder out there.

You're growing a tail buddy, congrats
 
Last year when i finished my cut i had the same tailbone pain, my ass is is nonexistent, i don't have big glutes and when i cut and fat is coming off i end up sitting on bones lol.

As far as genetics, i hold all my fat to upper body. Legs were always lean, i had good seperation and quad veins even at 25% bf while natty.
