meh, he hit puberty and blew up...the same thing happened to me. I put on 40 pounds over the course of the summer between sophomore and junior year of high school. Almost all muscle, but some fat. I showed up at training camp for football and my coach looked at me and said "what the hell did you do this summer?"

I don't begrudge anyone that put's in the effort to make a change. Genetics or not he still put in the work to get there. I wish I had better genetics but I don't, oh well good for guys like that, they're well rewarded for what they put in.

That's the right perspective.

I'm happy for him.

I can't hate on the guy; it takes effort no matter how good your genetics are to achieve a good physique. It may take a lot less effort for some, but that's just the luck of the draw.

My genetics suck pretty bad; to look anything like a bodybuilder I have to control every bite of food and train like a maniac. I have to constantly exploit every conceivable advantage possible. I must eat sleep and breath bodybuilding. I can also take extreme pride in what I accomplish... no genetic freebies for me, just the fruits of my labor.

Hmmm... I submitted myself for a bb.com tranformation of the week and I didn't hear jack squat from them. I guess they weren't that impressed. Personally, I think my transformation is more impressive then 80% of the ones they choose for the site. Oh well... no major disappointment.

madman, you should be there defintily, what you did in that time, was nothing short of amazing.

this guy, sure he might have gotten lucky, but he might not have the drive that the rest of us do. ;-D

I don't accept freebies anyways.

His training+diet was probably better than 99% of the people who got to the gym though. Just not us hardcore forum members.

hey hes kinda like me

i use to weigh a puny 119 pounds and bulked to a 9% bf 160 pounds.

i had a terribad diet, well not that bad, but you couldnt call it clean.

no matter what i eat, i cant gain anything, not even fat.

I you followed the routine he posted strictly I can imagine you would get decent gains, especially if you are talking about a male in his teens. Gains come slower and harder the older you are and the longer you've been lifting.
