No one thing for sure.
Genetics is a big part, it sets the baseline you’ll vary around based on other factors.
*Other factors” in this case is largely diet, with some influence from activity. Diet plays a BIG role and there’s some recent research showing a link between activity and growth. Full body plays a big part. In terms of exercise things like deadlift and squats but work and lifestyle are harder to control for.
