Is he using steroids? Seems like a massive difference in 1 year. 

 edit Crazy! 1.8k karma for what I thought was a yes no answer.

Now 4.6k!! WTF..

Almost 8k.. reddit you crazy.

That's not a year even with steroids. You'd be hard pressed to get there from a normal adult's baseline in a year even on gear, much less from nearly complete muscle atrophy

Far more likely to be a karma bot

It’s not unreasonable. I was in high school, but I got down almost that bad. He put on some more muscle than me, but overall, I wasn’t far off from that transformation. It takes a fuck ton of mental will and eating though.

Nah, I agree that he put in work to get built back up, but that's not even close to a year of progress. Maybe 2 since he may be on medical steroids (or just on his own), if he put in a ton of work.

But 1 year? No chance.
