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.

    3-4 years

    Naturally

    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:

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. 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.

    5. 35kg in 3-4 years means .73kg -.97kg/month on average.

    6. 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 natural maximum in 3-4 years after starting lifting as a totally untrained gamer kid.
