Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

I was watching a meme compilation video from another YouTuber and he shared the interesting piece of info that he grew up, got ripped, and makes music apparently.
Also, the video that got famous of him raging at a videogame was very much staged for clicks and he was making joke videos around the same time, but the German news thought that a video of a kid raging was real and aired it as like THE proof that they caused violence.
Keyboards don't stand a fuckin' chance now.
My keyboard these days is much much stronger than the keyboard I had in the 90s. In the 80s the back was full metal and some had the case be metal as well. Then in the 90s it went all plastic and super fragile. For the past 15 years or so I've had a keyboard with a thick metal frame. I've smashed it lots of times and it doesn't care at all. If you'd pick it up and smash the monitor with it, it would totally destroy the monitor. My desk is a metal frame with solid wood, but the average IKEA desk probably wouldn't stand a chance.
you win this comment section 😭
He was still a minor when the video was published (against his will, it was a private commission). He was bullied a lot for it, because people didn't understand it was staged. He distanced himself from all of that for a while. Perhaps he started body building to compensate.
3-4 years
Naturally
ಠ_ಠ
Edit: for everyone saying this is possible natty... maybe if he has incredible genetics. He is young and was untrained so some rapid progress could be expected. But:
That does not look like an 85kg teenager to me unless he's pretty tall. But let's assume he is 85kg at the start - must be at least 1.85m tall.
Estimated ~25% body fat, around 64kg lean mass -> estimated ~10% body fat @ ~99kg lean mass. A gain of 35kg in 3-4 years. 77lbs for my Americans.
That would require a lean mass gain of 8.75kg-11.66kg (20.4lbs-27.18lbs) on average per year to achieve. Most beginners can expect as much as 9kg of mass gain in their first year, but that leaves 2-3 years at 8.66kg-13kg of lean mass gain per year.
Possible muscle growth rates (naturally) for humans range from ~.25kg - ~.9kg (.5lbs-2lbs) per month but slow with progression - you can't expect to max out that same rate forever.
35kg in 3-4 years means .73kg -.97kg/month on average.
So, sure, maybe it's possible if this guy has elite genetics and bulked for 3-4 years straight and did the worlds fastest cut right before that after photo was taken.... or he got some hormonal assistance and put in the work too. Which is nbd, but it is very doubtful this is natty.
Edit edit: using the Casey Butt Calculator, max lean mass at 185cm is 93kg possible/88kg realistic using wrist/ankle sizes a bit above average (18cm, 24cm). Using massive size wrist and ankle (25cm wrist and 30cm ankle) the max is like 106kg possible/101kg realistic- so if this kid has a huge frame, then maybe he's natty - and he achieved his lifetime natural maximum in 3-4 years after starting lifting as a totally untrained gamer kid.
His progress is exceptional, but far from impossible, without doping. He was in the right age-bracket for it as well.
far from impossible
Au contraire
My brother got ripped in literally a year in a half naturally. Now, if you saw him eat is really didnt look that natural. Bit it was just a fuckton of protein and carbs to evolve from a stick to a log.
Puberty to early adulthood does that sometimes
Natural doping of growth hormones and testosterone.
Barry Bonds was just a late bloomer
He is pretty high bodyfat so that is absolutely possible naturally in that time frame
The German media not getting a joke? Shocker 😳
He also got badly mobbed in school...
I'm also 110kg, but I look slightly different.
right? i feel more like the guy on the left, but with a gut
Obsessive bodybuilding is often a sign of very severe minority complex.
Not saying that's the case here, but buffing up like that isn't the sign of health that it purports to be.
He was severely bullied and changed schools several times. People back then just didn‘t get he was playing a role in those videos. He was way ahead of his time.
In an interview he even said at one point he threatened to shoot up the school. It was a move to get attention because he was so alone, like a cry for help. I think he served some time in prison or similar for teenagers.
oh 😨
I thought it was a wholesome story...
Still not over her, mh?
?
Okay, next find the one where the kid doesn't get consent from the remote control...
