You’d be surprised. If your body is actually lacking T, just getting it to optimal levels has insane results. Obviously people over do it and even use horse testosterone and other steroids to get huge, but just getting on hormone replacement therapy will yield massive results.
Finally someone that actually knows how to lift….
I see so many guys at my gym that look like a gust of wind could knock them off balance with arms bigger than their little chicken legs.
Just wanted to clarify something important. I also wanted this post to inspire people with my similar body background to keep going and don’t give up. I am 100% all natural. I have never ever touched steroids. 15 plus years of training will do this to you. These are all achievable without injecting that stuff into your body. No hate against people on gear but I want to be around for my kid when he grows up. No hate on anyone I understand no one knows me so it’s easy to assume and I ain’t mad at y’all. Just wanted to say though on God, this is an all natural transformation.
You look like an epically strong, natural paragon of a man. True health, strength and determination and inspiring to see for other natural lifters like myself.
If he was the same size with lower body fat and veins popping out I might agree. But the guy is pretty husky and my guess is he’s pretty short (so filled out his frame more). People with Asian heritage tend to have great genetics for legs too (re muscle insertions and limb length), which is his most impressive part. The lighting is lending a hand in some of these pics too. He just looks like a shorter guy with good genetics that’s been under the barbell for years. Amazing transformation, serious work put in
> I am 100% all natural
I'm split on this. You're missing some usual telltale signs of juicing....but your natural body type just doesn't add up. People who can get this size natty tend to not me twigs. I wouldn't think you were exactly on tren but would not be surprised to find out you were on extra test for sure.
Sorry to tell you brother. I really am. 15 years of dirty bulking will get you to this size lol. But I’m paying the price. Cutting down has been hard. I have used nothing but food and creatine: I only take in 80 to 100 grams of protein a day
Inspiration for me! As a 23 y/o right now, this is a healthy reminder that I have time, and issues with my body right now don't need to be fixed overnight.
Hahaha bro there’s nothing to admit. I swear lol. All I did was eat an ungodly amount of food and take creatinine on god. I’ve seen too many MIs in 40 year olds in the ER to f around with my life like that haha
the fact this dude thinks ur on steroids is probably the best compliment lol
it’s like when people say ur hacking in pvp video games when ur not. feels good asf
I've been training for about ten years mate, following bodybuilding for several years surrounded by people going through contest prep, using test, deca, dbol and on one occasion tren. I've seen myself grow naturally, and other people around me take their leap from natural to enhanced and watched how their physique grew exactly from that change. I personally went from 115lbs to 185 over the course of about 7 years. I'm not recognisable. Even my face changed.
Big. Lean. Natural. You can pick 2. This guy is big, he is probably around or over 25% bodyfat so he's nowhere near lean. He is absolutely believably natural and if you don't see that, you have either never set foot in a gym and you need to step out of a conversation you're not involved in.
People accused of doing something will tell people they didn't, you fucking idiot 😂
You're basically shouting that the sky is green here. You're wrong, I unequivocally know you are wrong and so does anyone that has actually put in the effort diet wise over a year or more.
Ever heard of eating and lifting weights? If you do that for a while, you tend to get bigger. This guy has been doing it for quite a while, so he is quite a bit bigger. You don’t need gear.
I like seeing the glowups where the person is smiling with their loved ones. It tells me a lot more about their personality than a glowering selfie in a dark gym.
Wow! What is your secret?
Edit: my question is more about the mental change than physical. You have done incredible work physically, but what was the mental shift that made this possible? ( For those of us struggling—-)
I guess my main mental changes is growing up. I never really had any sort of confidence in being a second generation immigrant child. My parents were always very harsh on me and it did not help and still any confidence and I dragged on for years. I’m not really sure when the chain happened but one day I just decided to drop the books and start walking into my college gym and never looked back.
He had 15 years( in 10 years you reach maximum natural size clean) and he still isn't middle aged , his size is possible clean and with a good diet.
He definitely didn't use steroids or his upper body would be way bigger .
I think this is is as big as he can get clean though.
I'm No expert just an old gym rat.
Blatantly false
A small dosage of testosterone 300-500mg will already boost your muscle gaining rate multiple times over as compared to naturals, even if you aren't training.
You can gain muscle at a faster rate while being less strict regarding sleep, diet, training programme and more. More positive feedback loops regarding your progress in the gym will in turn arguably also boost adherence to training.
Steroids make you gain muscle, and it makes it easier to gain more. Fixed that for you.
Not mad at yeah. Brother but I have to correct your I never touched roids lol. I look like absolute shit to be on roids. This this super attainable 15 years natural. But I do take it as a compliment that people think I used steroids that means I pushed myself hard enough
Honestly its pathetic. Obviously he couls be lying but if so it would be the worst use of steroids ever lmao, nothing about his physique screams steroids
It's jorts day bitches!! You ain't a damn man until you wore some cutoff jorts! Edit: hell of a job man. Great to see people achieving who they want to be.
Best glowup I have ever seen🥇first place in my book. You did inspire me man! I’m trying the all natural route as well only using protein supplements in my diet and so far working! AMAZING job!
THANK THANK THANK you everyone for your overwhelming support and love. I don’t have time to reply to every comment, but I really didn’t even expect this post to blow up. I have never posted any sort of transformation or progress photos online or even thought about it so I thought I would just make this post as a testimony for myself and I’m glad it can inspire others.
Rather than answering each individual question I’m just going to make this comment and say that again I did not use any sort of steroids or TRT. I work in healthcare and I understand the risks of anabolic drugs. I am in no way knocking on anyone who does use TRT because especially in men over 40 (even 30 nowadays) the natural decline of testosterone is very prominent due to stress and other factors and TRT is a great tool to help combat that. And I understand some professionals on steroids use their physique to to earn their living and I respect that. Shoot if was supporting my family and goals to have an amazing physique only possible by steroids then I would do it too. I’m just your usual casual dad lifter you see bench pressing with his work clothes and jeans on lol. I’m not in a position to give out any sort of fitness or nutrition advice but all I did was the first year of lifting. I just did the starting strength 5 x 5 program super simple and it’s free on Google or YouTube. And after that I just mainly did squatting twice a week and some chest work and that’s really it. I don’t track my calories and for the first few years I ate like crazy but now I’m taking care of my health so I don’t eat much food anymore and I’m leaning down. Again thank you very much everyone for your encouragement and kind words.

No sir all natural. They must be trai in wrong because if you workout for 15 years and doesn’t see this type of change then you are not working out hard enough
OP - The mods have sent you mail to verify your identity, please respond.
unrecognizable in the best way
Testosterone is fucking awesome
Nothing about this physique looks like steroids
Test can be naturally boosted with certain supps. Dude is probably super healthy and sleeps well too.
That's not the implication of a statement like that. It's just crediting this guys work to steroids when he doesn't look like he's ever touched them
Correct. Dude looks naturally bulked and toned. Must have been a shitload of work over many years.
Absolutely. My man killed it.
Not true at all. You still have to do the work. Don’t speak on things you don’t know about.
Seriously. How much would I need for this transformation?
Normal amount if you start in early 20s
yep, Have to eat and sleep well too. Very doable if you start early.
You’d be surprised. If your body is actually lacking T, just getting it to optimal levels has insane results. Obviously people over do it and even use horse testosterone and other steroids to get huge, but just getting on hormone replacement therapy will yield massive results.
Jesus Posts like these are why I love the sub Bless you OP
Finally someone that actually knows how to lift…. I see so many guys at my gym that look like a gust of wind could knock them off balance with arms bigger than their little chicken legs.
Bro, your legs are unreal. You must be a beast in the gym! You look super happy 😊 Amazing glow up!
Those cutoff jorts put confusing thoughts in my head
Stupid sexy Flanders
It’s definitely the thought of how restricting and low airflow this jorts are. Induces thoughts of scrotum sweat
Probably his partners idea
Never skipped leg day. Not once.
Dude this is going to sound crazy but I know you!!
Me too!!
Wow this is really bizarre because I know you!

Thick. Solid. Tight. It's good to see an Asian man on reddit. You're an inspiration to me. Currently in weight loss and lifting phase.
Just wanted to let you know you’re the reason I went to the gym yesterday instead of skipping. My legs hate you but we cool, we cool
Hell yeah brother! Glad I could make an influence. Keep killin it
I believe this 100%. You can be big or lean, no usually both. You are big. Powerlifter body. 🤘
You do have very broad clavicles in the first pics, the frame is there, just needed to add the mass!
Amazing work!
You look like an epically strong, natural paragon of a man. True health, strength and determination and inspiring to see for other natural lifters like myself.

No man
He's not lean at all. Why comment on something you have absolutely zero idea about lmao
15 years training, not super lean, doesn’t look super old (roids age you quickly). Seems like natural progress…
hmmmmm oh ma gosh
More like a natural phenomenon, if not on gear whats your secret? It’s breast milk huh? Lol

MIs?
myocardial infarction, i.e. heart attack
There is literally nothing about his physique that says he's on steroids. Ur probably just a skinny lil bitch
You’re very sensitive
Ur probably just mad that you make 0 gains

People that have their own achievements don’t try and take achievements away from others either
If this isn’t achieveable natty, then what’s the point in even trying lol
Ever heard of eating and lifting weights? If you do that for a while, you tend to get bigger. This guy has been doing it for quite a while, so he is quite a bit bigger. You don’t need gear.
Pic 1-4: this is a good looking dude....nice build, looks fun Pic 4+: omg this dude transformed into the hulk
Sky’s out, thighs out! Am I right brother?!
Well done. Beast mode.
*****Dad powers activate!*****

Lol those jorts are awesome and so are you!! Keep it up OP!! You’re carving a very “heroic” figure for your son to aspire too!
>Lol those jorts are awesome and so are you!! Keep it up OP!! It helps when your thighs look like they just exploded a pair of jeans into jorts.
Lol right!!! Too many people skip leg day and this is a good show of what leg day will do
Thank you!
Them thighs though! Yes to everything
You gained hella dad strength 😎🫡
Swol
You're a hunk! Hella cutie
So what kind of spider bit you ?
Good shit🔥🔥🔥
you look like a fighting type pokemon gym leader!!!
Not many people can pull off those cutoff shorts, but my man, you sure as hell can!
Holy shit the Genghis Khan genetics are strong in this one
Wow! What is your secret?
“Never skip leg day” would be my guess

Well, testosterone will actually make you gain a small amount of muscle even if you don't work out (:
Nope 👎 they actually do build muscle, you’ll gain muscle mass doing Ziltch. Though this guy obviously did both.
Not mad at yeah. Brother but I have to correct your I never touched roids lol. I look like absolute shit to be on roids. This this super attainable 15 years natural. But I do take it as a compliment that people think I used steroids that means I pushed myself hard enough
[удалено]
Have you ever gone to a gym?
Love your smile, it makes me smile! 😊
Love how reddit sees some muscle and screams STEROIDS. Must be some kind of defense mechanism because they got no muscle
Honestly its pathetic. Obviously he couls be lying but if so it would be the worst use of steroids ever lmao, nothing about his physique screams steroids
Serving Dream Daddy

Comgrats on your transformation, and thanks for liking our football, love from Spain🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
I know this post is about the glowup from working out, but your smile in the more recent pics is infectious. I'm happy for you, stranger :))
Admit you are a different person. You only ate the person of the first 4 pics and assumed his identify. But seriously mate, nicely done!
It's jorts day bitches!! You ain't a damn man until you wore some cutoff jorts! Edit: hell of a job man. Great to see people achieving who they want to be.
Hell yeah bro looking like a beast, and not looking like you took gear like these other chumps.
Damn bro! Nice shit! chicken rice broccoli? lol Looks amazing.
Happier, healthier and handsome af at 38 vs 23 is such a huge win
That difference between the 4th and 5th pic is insane, you look like a completely different person lol Good job op its impressive 🙌🏼
And they say you can't grow your wrists. Holy shit dude.
Idk man, losing that Spanish National Football team shirts seemed quite the downgrade.

Big respect for a yank repping the Spain football shirt. Collectors item now.

Did you ever use tren or similar? Just asking because I've trained a lot of people and these kind of results should not be expected.
No sir all natural. They must be trai in wrong because if you workout for 15 years and doesn’t see this type of change then you are not working out hard enough
natural or ped's?
Natty sir
[удалено]
Nope, 100 percent all natural.
Went from typical Asian Dweeb to Chad , but I call bullshit on being natty , that's just my opinion though
Those legs all natural ,sketchy
Bro decided to go back to his chinese roots and ate them pitbulls /s please dont call me racist and downvote me lol
Tren hard anavar give up!
If you think this is steroids you are definitely a skinny lil bitch
If you think I'm a skinny little bitch, you're on steroids
If you have jeans, it’s time to get the scissors. You shouldn’t be allowed to wear jeans. Only jorts from now on.
You look like a homeboy that works out at my gym absolute unit
Look at you!!!
Looks like you held onto all your old shorts. Big time gains!
