My thinking is that early juicing can sort of change your genetics. Not really, but response to juice is insane at that age. In a few weeks you can catapult your development equal to 15 years of natural training. Number pulled out of my ass but the point stands, it can put the kid on a level he never would have otherwise achieved. Theoretically you could also add some height at that age through bb drugs. It's risky for several reasons but some Arimidex, along with some anabolics and perhaps GH could do it (estrogen closes the bones, hence the Arimidex).
I'd love to know what Chad did with these kids. He is crazy enough to do it but I'd like to know exactly what he's done.
And they look well fed, lots of pizza and lasagna.
Reckless juicing as a kid can be disastrous obviously but some juicing could be "beneficial" in many ways. I wish I had done a couple of good testosterone cycles after I had my adult height. This building a foundation is a bunch of crap in many ways, many of these golden age bodybuilding legends didn't have it. Did Arnold wait until 30 or even 21? He did not and he's still alive at like 72. If Arnold had waited longer there would be no Arnold as we know him.
It's insane. I mean we have to ask ourselves if it's real. And he's not some morbidly obese kid. How many on getbig ever benched 405 legitimately? 14 fucking years old.
I agree 100%.
It's apparent Arnold started as a teen, but who really knows.
One of the bodybuilders i used to hang out with years ago started juicing like 1 year after he started lifting, at age 16-17 IIRC.
He's a monster, at 21 he was 230 pounds and relatively lean. Still a big guy today.
I'd like to know the program Chad has them on and what they are taking. I'm just curious.
The "building a foundation" is really silly, i just think it helps prevent people from diving straight into gear and letting them figure out how to lift correctly, which does make sense. I know a bunch of guys who started juicing very early on in their lifting career and it only meant they got bigger faster.

I was skeptical because i know how easy it is to get fake plates and the bar didn't bend as much as what i typically see with 405, but i stand corrected. That's an amazing lift for his age.
