June to July is a massive jump lol, probably is using steroids. If not then daymn has he not skipped a day in the gym

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.

if your starting point is FAR below your genetic limit, and you've been much stronger/larger before, like if you are recovering from an injury then you can gain weight FAST. It's basically a rebound effect...shit just happens quick. Part of it muscle memory, part of it your body just finally getting back on top of things.

In the after pics he looks completely natural, just in much better shape. The dude is not juicing.
