Keyboards don't stand a fuckin' chance now.

The German media not getting a joke? Shocker 😳
I'm also 110kg, but I look slightly different.
3-4 years
Naturally
ಠ_ಠ
Edit: for everyone saying this is possible natty... maybe if he has incredible genetics. He is young and was untrained so some rapid progress could be expected. But:
-
That does not look like an 85kg teenager to me unless he's pretty tall. But let's assume he is 85kg at the start - must be at least 1.85m tall.
-
Estimated ~25% body fat, around 64kg lean mass -> estimated ~10% body fat @ ~99kg lean mass. A gain of 35kg in 3-4 years. 77lbs for my Americans.
-
That would require a lean mass gain of 8.75kg-11.66kg (20.4lbs-27.18lbs) on average per year to achieve. Most beginners can expect as much as 9kg of mass gain in their first year, but that leaves 2-3 years at 8.66kg-13kg of lean mass gain per year.
-
Possible muscle growth rates (naturally) for humans range from ~.25kg - ~.9kg (.5lbs-2lbs) per month but slow with progression - you can't expect to max out that same rate forever.
-
35kg in 3-4 years means .73kg -.97kg/month on average.
-
So, sure, maybe it's possible if this guy has elite genetics and bulked for 3-4 years straight and did the worlds fastest cut right before that after photo was taken.... or he got some hormonal assistance and put in the work too. Which is nbd, but it is very doubtful this is natty.
Edit edit: using the Casey Butt Calculator, max lean mass at 185cm is 93kg possible/88kg realistic using wrist/ankle sizes a bit above average (18cm, 24cm). Using massive size wrist and ankle (25cm wrist and 30cm ankle) the max is like 106kg possible/101kg realistic- so if this kid has a huge frame, then maybe he's natty - and he achieved his lifetime natural maximum in 3-4 years after starting lifting as a totally untrained gamer kid.
My brother got ripped in literally a year in a half naturally. Now, if you saw him eat is really didnt look that natural. Bit it was just a fuckton of protein and carbs to evolve from a stick to a log.
His progress is exceptional, but far from impossible, without doping. He was in the right age-bracket for it as well.
Puberty to early adulthood does that sometimes
He was still a minor when the video was published (against his will, it was a private commission). He was bullied a lot for it, because people didn't understand it was staged. He distanced himself from all of that for a while. Perhaps he started body building to compensate.
Okay, next find the one where the kid doesn't get consent from the remote control...
Obsessive bodybuilding is often a sign of very severe minority complex.
Not saying that's the case here, but buffing up like that isn't the sign of health that it purports to be.
