Yeah you get all these skinny guys that thing their built and they are afraid to eat cuz they might actually gain some muscle. Cracks me up.
Skinny is not attractive male or female and skinny fat is the worst!

Diet for sure.. But you left one out...
So in order of importance: Knowledge, Diet, Training, Sleep, Exogenous Hormones/Supps.
Here's a good analogy:
Having the fastest race car (Genetics) at the track won't get you to the checkered flag (Goals) if you don't have the proper fuel (Nutrition) to make it run properly and make sure you don't run it into the ground (Sleep.) All the nitrous and High Performance (Hormones/Supps) in the world won't help you either, if you don't have the proper pit crew (Knowledge) to pull it all together.

I think knowledge is number one. If you know what your doing that goes a long way to getting you to where you want to be. Then we have the big three Diet, rest and your work out. A lot of people forget that you dont grow when your in the gym you grow when your away from it.
Diet is 80% of it! Case closed!
In my opinion diet is paramount to sucess in bodybuilding. There is no way around a shitty diet. High level bodybuilding (npc, ifbb) is diffrent though. Everyone know's how to eat and train, so drug protocal's become more important. An experienced user with "good genetics" can run a heavy cycle of AAS, with a pristine diet, training perfect, sleeping 10 hours a day and will not carry anything that resembles modern day pro size. The introduction of legit pharm grade gh and insulin with AAS makes guys really blow up. Of course it all starts with food, and the ability to be diciplined in one's choices. I lifted for 3 years before I really started paying attention to my diet, and it was then that I noticed the most dramatic changes in my conditioning.
On the sponsor's list of complaints... the obvious reasons you're not getting the gains you thought you would on our gear:
