No, completely serious and legit. From A-B with no drugs. 150lbs - 205lbs. One year.
Probably 35lbs muscle or more, who knows. I have the before/after shots.
Since, I've lost some fat, gained some muscle. At 218lbs now.

Is this physiologically possible?

all due respect to Big Keenan 35 pounds of pure muscle is a little bit of a stretch, 20 i could definitely see though which is A HELL OF A LOT for 1 year,

My point exactly, with 35+lbs of muscle in one year, he would be in the absolute top 1% elite in terms of muscle gaining genetics...maybe he is...

We'll say 30lbs to be on the safe side. I'll post some shots. I'm sure I'll get "you're 20%bf there." "You don't look 205lbs in that shot, maybe 185lbs" and so on.

BB should be about achieving things on your own, not pumping yourself full of trash to gain another 15lbs, that's a losers mentality.

Croatch, what does a typical day's diet look like for you.
Are you a volume trainer or HIT?
Any cardio?

I have gained 8 kg of "muscle" in 8 weeks.

did you ever see the Youtube.com video he had of him training?

He actually had before and after pics that were quite impressive. Thirty-five pounds is a TON of muscle in a year, but he also said that he lifted previously for awhile and quit for sometime, living an unhealthy lifestyle of booze and cigerettes with no training will cause you to waste away. When you pick it back up though your muscle memory, along with the new found ambition will allow you to make some serious strides in bettering your physique.

i also think that Croatch's view of gyms is a little skewed training in a shithole full of phonies like Vegas, there are gyms here in the midwest where your jaw would be on the floor at some of the weights being lifted and the training intensity.

So training with Cormier, Badell, Quincy Taylor is a weak gym then?

You have some people at my gym who train hard, but they're few and far between. Usually, some middle aged juiced up fools who slam their weights and act like bodybuilders.

Good point. I stand corrected.
Some pros train hard, others don't. Great genetic response to drugs, solid diet.
I've never stated ANYONE could be a pro on many drugs...that statement would be foolish.

TommyBoy · « **Reply #18 on:** May 13, 2009, 07:34:08 PM »

I believe it since I have done it. Although it was after being super depressed and losing 30 pounds in a month...

Went from 180 down to 149. Then got my act together and in the first month was back up to 171. After about five months I was around 180-188.

Not a soft body weight either. At 188 I had glute striations. No, not posting pics of that.
