The reason why Lil Hercules was bigger was because of technology that was more readily available here in the USA than compared to a 3rd world nation.
Im talking about nutriton (food to include supplementation), workout equipment, etc....
You can feed a kid all the healthy food you want. You can give him all the exercise you want. There are plenty of parents who do this. yet there is only one boy who is super muscular at age 7.
Given your logic, now that they boy has a deal with VYOtech, some money, access to more workout equipment/better foods, he should be in PHENOMINAL shape.
Yet, he is not. He looks like a regular 14-year old who does crunches, plays soccer, and eats his veggies. Every middle school in every city in the country has kids more muscular than he is at 14.
Now did his incredible genetics suddenly disappear? Did he get lazy now that he has the pressure of meeting thousands on the weekend? Or did he stop taking steroids.
jerry, you know the game and the sport - you cannot tell me you're naive enough to believe this kid achieved the greatest muscularity EVER of any 7-year old, but looks mediocre at age 14, now that he has MORE resources available. Can you?
