Youtuber claims he gained 21 pounds of muscle while losing 13 pounds of fat in 30 days by working out like Chris Hemsworth for a month

[GameChanger]

His starting stats: 198 lbs, 17% body fat, 33.6 lbs in fat.

His final stats: 206 lbs, 10% body fat, 20.6 lbs in fat.

33.6-20.6=13 pounds lost in fat

206-198=8 pounds gained in total weight. If he just lost 13 pounds of fat without gaining any weight, he would weight 198-13=185 pounds. But he claims that he weight 206 pounds at the end. Which means he gained 21 pounds of muscle assuming his water weight has not changed.

This is impossible, even for beginners. He is trying to sell the idea that he somehow gained 21 pounds in muscle while losing 13 pounds in fat all within a month.

This video is a perfect example of youtube con artists. Either he lying about his stats or he is lying about how long it took him to make this transformation. And judging by his before and after pics, you can clearly tell that he didn't gain 21 pounds of muscle.

Personal trainers HATE him!

(Also, I prefer the before version)

[crimzonflame]

I saw this in my recommended videos for some reason Would the stats be possible with HGH?

 

[Pein]

If you can put on a good solid pound of lean muscle a month that’d be tops, this guy is a fucking liar:

 

[stillwrapped]

Yep. Impossible.

 

[Platy]

Thor?

Like I would absolutely bet Marvel gives "suplements" for their actors =P

 

[maxxpower]

I thought you could only gain like 2 true pounds of muscle a year?

Does it count if I put on a good solid pound of lean steak on the grill ?

Even if you eat clen and tren hard, he's a bullshitter.

HGH gives good results but it is very slow to act, even when stacked with steroids. HGH alone will give you visible gains in probably 5-6 months.

 

[IzzyRX]

I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. lol

 

[Soul Skater]

or Maybe he recorded a month of supersize me in reverse

Beginners can gain 15-20 pounds of muscle in their first year if I am not mistaken. You have to lift progressively heavier weights and have a good diet to achieve this though.

 

[Latvian Hitman]

Pro tip: go to the meat section of your local supermarket. Find a ~12 lb. roast or slab of brisket. Pick it up. Hold it. Ask yourself, “Could I add twice this much meat to my body by lifting weights for a month?”

The answer will be self evident.

 

[raYne_07]

Before and after shots look like him flexing vs not. Conveniently added muscle defining by lighting/shadow placement as well.

I remember seeing how they make these videos.

They start out being ripped and then they eat like shit for a few days and take the bloated slob video.

YT is somehow less trustworthy than a shitty Sunday morning infomercial.

Click to shrink...

This too. A lot of before and afters are switched like that to show "results".

[HamCormier]

He's probably getting more attention by lying...

 

[joecanada]

it's the same formula for every before and after pic. He gained 0 muscle , got leaner, abs actually look painted on (makeup) . Other favorites are tanning, sucking a gut in , flexing , etc . He doesn't even look bigger . It's a great result ruined by hyperbolic b.s.

 

[Kahoots]

Seems like a standard level of youtube embellishment tbh.

lol just in the thumbnail you can see the shadow from his head/neck is way different (higher angled light source) between the two shots.

Dude has no shoulders, Hemsworth's shoulders blew up like crazy from H&A to Thor.

 

[LukeOP]

Is the light right above his head in the second pic?

 

[crimzonflame]

Seems like he just wants Chris's attention for using his new app. Also 2 workouts a day plus 7 meals a day; good luck to anyone who tries this.

 

[Officer Big Mac]

I invented the question mark.

 

[Starphanluke]

He looks better in the first pic tbh.

Yeah but which Chris Hemsworth?

Outside of Thor, he’s scrawny.

He looks like he just got lean, doesn’t look like a lot of muscle gained tbh......

 

[Slayven]

Why do people use actors? They have the best that money can buy and they don't have a day job to worry about. Notice how soon afterwards they loose the freak tone? Cause it is not sustainable

The gut in the left picture looks like a fit person intentionally pushing their gut out. I can do it too. You can tell there's not much fat actually there. That's not what it looks like

 

[The_hypocrite]

Not possible.

 

[-JD-]

I'm calling bs on this. He doesn't have the benefit of newbie gains so the fat loss to muscle gain ratio would be low, and his final physique looks like he went on a cutting/lean program.

I feel like this thread could go hand-in-hand with that recent one about the vegan youtuber. Can't trust most of these types of channels.

I remember reading an article a few years ago about a personal trainer who would do these Before and After shots for supplements. He would take the After picture right after coming home from the gym, and then drink diet cola and eat some chips to get "bloated" for the Before picture. So I could believe the same thing happening here.

A month? Sure, Jan.

yeah his trapezius is at the same size of the first pic

 

[LebGuns]

That is biologically impossible. That’s why there are is a bulk phase and a cutting phase: because when you put on muscle to bulk up you are putting in fat too, so afterwards you do the cutting so drop the fat and avoid muscle loss. Body recomp (gaining muscle and losing fat simultaneously) like this guy is claiming to do is amplified for beginners for sure, but not at the stratospheric level he claims.

Additionally, gaining 21 pounds of muscle alone in one month is some Wolverine metabolic cellular hypetrophy bullshit. Unless this guy stumbled on the Captain American serum, is lying his ass off. Even fucking steroids dooesnt give you these gains in one month. Hell, fucking cancer cells don’t divide this fast, let alone normal muscles cells confined by the limits of normal metabolism, Protein synthesis and cellular division.
