do you think his super skinny teen body played into the role of his genetic over the top experiment? short and thin - said fuck it lets get big? over compensating?
not hating/not trolling/dont know the dude
but suggesting this is a classic bigoexiera case?
He was a skinny skater boy and when he decided to hit the weights (and gear) he added 50 pounds in HS. He took second in teen nationals in 08 and when training for his next contest he tore a pec (shocker). Made a comeback in 2011 won the overall at east coast classic. Without a coach he trained for the Jr's but decided to see how he would stack up at USA's in 12. He trained himself and won the heavyweights at 202lbs beating some pretty big dudes.
I think all bb have bigorexia but he was killing it his first season as a pro in the 212 and even becoming a pro all came fast.
Who knows what happened in 15 but he just couldn't reach the same condition and was sixth at the Arnold. That's when he decided to move up but essentially stopped competing.
