MONTH 10 PROGRESS!!!!! 16y/o, 117 lbs

[MellonCollie]

I know half of you will start hating, so neg rep away. I cant beleive u guys believe that that was done in 10 months. The way the chest is filled out, maturity of his muscles, thats not done in under a year, unless there was some serius HELP, which i hope there wasn't if hes only 16. Im not questioning whehter its him, im just saying that wasnt done under a year or it wasnt done clean. I mean come on, look at the ****ing month to month pics, and think, if its possible to ahve such priogress on a month to month basis - hardly. For proof consult month to month pictures of people who trains harder and longer, more professionally and in most cases you wont see much difference in 1 month progress pics. Unless they are on a cycle of course.

theres no way hes 120lbs even if he doesnt train his legs.

he is like 5 feet tall and is very small. I see people that are 6 feet tall and are 120. Just to put it into perspective he carries good weight for his size. If he was 6 feet tall he would be about 190-200 being that cut

Yes you see those people who are that size at that height, but they didn't just pick up a weight 10 months ago!

vunguyen12,

Very inspiring pics you got there. Incredible really. I sent some friends my first month progress pics and although not as dramatic as yours they couldn't believe it either. I have a question, why did you go from Riptoe to 5x5 in just 2 months? Also when you switched to the 5x5 did you feel like it taxed you better or is a better all around workout? I know you bench and row twice a week and only shoulder press and deadlift once a week on the 5x5. The reason I ask is my legs and back are getting a killer work out, but my chest and arms just aren't feeling it. Again, nice job!

You have to gain way more weight man, only 117 lbs at the age of 16?

how bout instead of just looking at a number...look at his body. If u saw the pics and he said he was 200lbs, he would look good, and if he said he was 90lbs he would look good...see what i'm saying mate, the number isnt important, the illusion is

you guys care so much about weight, i bet even more than your appearance.....Jeez

Great job vunguyen12
Very inspiring

Some of you think his change in appearance over the 10 month period is not possible but I think it is very possible. Think of it this way, he started at 93lbs and is now 117lbs. That's a 24lb gain. Some say that for every 10lbs you gain, your arms grow 1 inch. So if that were true, his arms should have grew 2.4 inches right? No. Since he has a smaller frame at 5'4", and doesn't train his legs hard, I don't see how his arms can't have grown 3 whole inches!

Also, it's not about how much you weigh, it's about your height-weight ratio. Compare a 6' guy and a 5'4" guy both weighing at 140lbs. The 6' one will look scrawny but the 5'4" will look massive.

Once again, great job vunguyen12

Ya great job, stop bashing him people

[thicky]

as a digital editor and a fellow bodybuilder, i'd have to say am i the only one who seems to think this is not legit?

yes you are.

you are also a liar.

[Alfz]

Whats ur chest size in inches?

[r~iddick]

Nice work, I suggest hitting the lower back and lats harder. What weight were you prior to working out?

[AlexT]

Great progress, keep it up!

[Way_2_Skinny!]

from month 4 to month 5 he absoultely exploded
i think thats where the pictures become debatable

[doubl3]

but i think you should have stopped at month 4 or at least stayed at that weight.

lmaooo, dear lord

funny stuff

[yaman]

**** how did u do that??r u on steroids or something

[zrage]

**** how did u do that??r u on steroids or something

lmao...

eat right, take alot of supplements, and workout well....and ull c... + hes really short, so packing on muscle is easier than if u where 6'0 + tall...

anyways... amazing transformation i bet u must feel really good about ur self... i remember i used to be 6'1 at 15 and 130 lbs.... i would have to buy medium kids size shirts to fit them a little tight, even tho i looked rediculus i felt good @ that time... thankfully large MEN'S size shirts look like they wana explode when i put em on!! and im loving it good progress REPS

What you need to realize is that he's very short, and hence requires much less time to fill out his frame than say compared to a 6ft+ person.

Or maybe your right.

[yaman]

So would a smaller person have more strength than a taller person if they both started out the same in proportion and both made the same gains in proportion to height and frame??

[take it easy]

yeah reminds me of the mouse without its myostatin gene that grew huge muscles (at right below compared to a normal mouse)

man im reading about myostatin now, its amazing. i wonder if myostatin inhibitors will be the next big thing with athletes?

check out this german baby who was born without the inhibitors, i wonder what he will look like as an adult.

I'd want that baby to be my bodyguard

[yaman]

vunguyen...are u a genetic freak or something??

[ak2]

Very odd looking physique. Not one for aesthetics.

[Pain Inflicter]

More back work is needed.

[idreamofnumber1]

nice work

[vunguyen12]

More back work is needed.

yeah, i agree.......but lately there's a pain in my lower back. It been about a week now. The pain has lessen, but its still there everytime i bend or deadlift. Should i rest awhile and take some medicine??

[tehk]

Awesome upper. Cannot praise enough. You have a very defined abdominal region as well, however it looks some-what out of propertion with your exploding chest muscles .

If you are suffering from joint pains, I recommend taking some glucosamine. However, if its muscle related, then simply train the area more (I would imagine it being your back as you mention) within limits because it might not be as strong yet.

how do i know if its a joint pain or muscle pain? ....so should i rest until the pain goes away or should i train my lower back now to strenghten it?
