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.

      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.

    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:

    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.

    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.
