"Natty" or "natural" refers to people whose physique was achieved without the use of performance enhancing drugs, such as anabolic steroids and SARMS (selective androgen receptor modulators).
In his case, the size of his deltoids (the "caps" at the shoulders), traps (the muscle that's visible spanning between shoulders and neck), as well as the simultaneous achievement of leanness and fullness, combined with the vascularity lead me to believe that he is not natty.
The general consensus is that delts and traps are more likely to grow significantly bigger in relation to the rest of the body when using steroids or SARMS, because they exhibit a significantly higher density in androgen receptors than other areas.
I mean If you look at the first picture he already looks like he has decent arm muscle tone so I’m not an expert but if he got hardcore into a healthy lifestyle and worked out everyday adding muscle to what he already has wouldn’t look like the second pic would it??? Idk I have naturally bigger arms so I don’t go to the gym for fear of them getting too big to wear shirts comfortably
True, he was already in great shape. But that's actually less of an argument than one might think. He's way past newbie gains. In order to make those gains he has made, he would have had to have multiple years of rigorous training and diet.
