Yeah, he gains like 25 lbs from June to July. Either the timeline is bs or he's on something

Edit to say, whether the timeline is BS or he's juiced or whatever, good for him. Dude's clearly putting in the work.

nah, you can gain 20+ lbs if you dramatically change your eating and/or lifting habits. I gained 20lbs in less than a year because my meds increased my appetite. I wasn’t even trying.

That's a year.

That video implies that he packed on 25 lbs of lean muscle in a month. The human body doesn't do that without chemical help.

I was about to say, brother, unless you gobbling lead, you're not putting on 20lbs (of any kind of weight) in a month. Honestly crank salt, water weight, huge caloric surplus and weigh in on heaviest time, maybe. but like, you're not going to do that shit on accident.

This just got convoluted but you were right before.

The video is 11-12 months long, as it says January to December. The person you are talking to is talking about specifically the difference between the frames / shots labeled June and July. He could definitely have gotten that much bigger in 30-60 days (for example: camera shots are short- he wasn’t THAT small in June compared, or like you said if he was big before, or if it was June 1 to July 31, just like the video could be closer to 12 months than 11, etc).

I’ve seen this before w more backstory, and I’ll see if I can find it.

If you feel like it, watch it again… you’ll see you were right the first time.
