A Before + After

Do you recognize this youth? A mere three years ago, this was a fine and fit, Lorenzo. 14 years old and yearning to pack on some muscle. Well, he worked hard. Man, did he work hard between this picture when he weighed somewhere around 127 pounds....

...and THIS picture, where he weighs about 215 pounds, the young man has in 3 years time packed on a phenomenal 88 pounds!

I am a statistical fetishist, so pardon me for a minute while I swoon over the thought of a nearly 70% gain in weight in pure muscle.

I believe the young muscle beast is about 5'-7" tall, which means he's packing 3.2 pounds per inch of height. When he started all this, he only weighed 1.89 pounds per inch of height. At his current height/weight, he is comparable, quite favorably, with most fitness models and many amateur and professional bodybuilders. For instance, Ron Teufel, won several bodybuilding competitions at 5'-6" and 185 pounds at only 2.8 pounds per inch of height

And just because I can, I'd wager that Lorenzo's fore arms are now bigger than his biceps were 3 years ago.

This young man is to be admired for his dedication and accomplishments in the gym.
