^ First of all, you can basically have two extremely small parents, yet end up being over two meters high. Same goes for muscle strenght. It's rather unlikely ending up like the Hulk if your parents were midgets, but it's possible. It solely depends on the combination of the genes, all kinds of mutations included.

Secondly, if it wasn't about genetics, if Amon seriously got all his strenght by training, then it would be logical that basically everyone could be able to outmatch a ghoul. And if that was true, then we would have far, far more examples of "extraordinary" humans than just Amon and Takeomi.

Also, it was said that Takeomi comes just after his father. One more hint (if not proof) that it's about the genetics as well. Otherwise it would be an absurdly huge coincidence that a monster like Iwao gave birth to a monster like Takeomi.

And real life shows that genetics do effect your physique, so I don't see any point in doubting that it needs a combination of good genes and training to become as strong as Amon.
