Unless someone is basically completely untrained, more than 5 pounds of muscle in a full year (which would take insane dedication in the weight room and with diet) is basically unattainable without top tier genetics or some “help”. And that’s if someone is running like an actual bodybuilding program.
So while I agree with that study for Adults, I'm not sure it is valid for 16-19 year olds who are still naturally developing.
Hopefully Josh is doing it without the chimichangas.
This is absolutely not the case for non-adults. i was 150-160 when i started college and after one year of air force ROTC and doing PT 3 days a week, i was 190. I’ll never be that fit again, luckily it lasted long enough for me to get out of the dating scene.
May I offer you an almond encrusted tilapia?
I graduated high school at 6’3” 143…took me a decade to get to 230
I’m sure you did gain muscle. I would doubt very much if you gained 30 pounds of muscle doing all that cardio without any real bodybuilding program specifically optimized to put on mass.
I would agree that the calculus does change if he’s still growing in height (which it looks like he is). But still, if even half of that 15 pounds in a couple months is muscle, that would be insane.
I think what he is alluding to is that natural growing will add muscle and these studies don't account for teenagers.
i guess at that point we’re just arguing semantics. I don’t think anyone’s claiming Filmon put on pure muscle mass. But weight/mass can be just as important in a physical sport as muscle. More mass allows you to carry more momentum, and it makes it more difficult for someone else to move you out of the way.
I agree. As long as he’s getting stronger and the pounds he’s adding don’t detract from his skating, this is good.
Please. Let’s call thr “help” what it really is. We know from credible reporting that the miracle substance that allows for optimal muscle development is avocados. This is especially true as you age.
And here I thought you were going to tell us how much you’ve grown and how much weight you’ve been able to add since high school.
Incorrect. It’s a vaccine allergy

Very smart, excellent arm talent, cool under pressure, put in the work and made the effort, still the biggest fraud in recent professional sports in my view.
