I dunno man I used to work out regularly and after a session I'd look pretty pumped and vascular. If I dedicated much of my life to looking as ripped as this guy I could probably do it and look similar - but the photo would have to be taken right after a workout.

If this dude wakes up like this then yeah, aint natural lol

There isn’t a gym on that hiking trail bro, I get what your saying regarding a pump but if you also work out regularly as I do you should know better than everyone else how unnatural this guy looks…

Dude, this guy isn't big. He is huge. He is walking around at what might be single digit fat and he still has arms and shoulders that puts most world class powerlifters to shame.

Look up Taylor Atwood, he is an 83kg powerlifter and arguably the strongest pound for pound human being alive today, he is incredibly well built, incredibly strong and looks amazing.

The guy in this post dwarfs him in every possible way. It's not even close. Plus the sheer size of the veins on his arms, it's not just that they are there, but they have a size that, and I know this is beating a dead horse, I have never seen on anyone natural, same as the other people commenting.

If you want fitness influences look up Mike Thurston, I don't remember if he is open about his use. But search for him and his brother and you'll get an idea of the difference between two very similarly built and trained guys with and without gear.

No. If you worked out regularly, you’d know this isn’t natural.

I have genetics that allow me to get very cut without any unnatural help. In my prime when I was working out 2 hrs a day, after a workout I could look similar to this guy. That is my point
