This father and son have some impressive genetics.

In honor of Father’s Day, we are re-running this story about bodybuilding father and son duo who caught eyes on stage in the Canadian Nationals.

Genetics. They play a major role in how one’s physique can be molded and shaped. Some individuals have crazy back genetics that allow them to get their lats to explode with muscle. Others have crazy arm genetics, bicep and tricep insertions going above and beyond what we thought was humanly possible. Then there are those who have overall superior genetics allowing them to mold their bodies to insanely jacked and shredded forms.

When an individual has some impressive genetics, sometimes they’re able to pass those same gifts onto the next generation. This certainly seems to be the case in regards to Jesse and Denis LeBlanc.

A certified personal trainer, Jesse LeBlanc has been able to shape the bodies of his clients into healthy and strong figures of peak human athleticism. Jesse LeBlanc has utilized that same knowledge and passion for transforming his clients into shaping his own physique as well, leading to numerous competitive bodybuilding titles in the process. But while Jesse may have put in the hard work to transform himself, we have to consider that his superior genetics helped him along the way.

Enter Denis LeBlanc.

A fitness enthusiast himself, Jesse’s father Denis has cut out a powerful and strong form of his own, looking extremely jacked and shredded even in his early fifties. The father and son duo got the chance to show off their hard work and superior genetics on stage when they competed in a bodybuilding show together at last year’s Canadian Nationals. Suffice it to say, both LeBlanc men looked impressive as they stepped on stage.

Jesse and Denis LeBlanc not only have a bond through blood, but also their passion for fitness.

Weeks of prep, competing and being in Edmonton for 2 weeks = COSTLY . Pose down with my dad at Canadian Nationals = PRICELESS . So surreal that my dad was right there beside me. It’s hard to explain the emotions and excitement of the whole experience, but now that I can look back I feel so damn lucky to have had the chance to experience those last cpl weeks leading to the show and going through the process and even stepping on that stage with my him. All that hard work and sacrifice was well worth It and id do it again in a heartbeat. I’m more than proud of my father for doing so well I actually can’t believe it, the man is a freak! I’m also more than proud to say he’s my mentor, my inspiration and most of all my dad, the most humble and hard working person I know. Ive always looked up to him and this year after helping him and watching him work so hard and killing it ive earned a whole knew respect for the man. Congratulations on all your hard work pops you deserve it all. I will remember that day for the rest of my life! and who knows… we may be back before you know it!!? #fatherson #flexfriday #Canadian #Nationals #bodybuilding #posedown #epic #proud #priceless #fitness #fitspo #fitfam #igfit #fitguy #competition #dedication #inspiration #motivation #family #aesthetics
