think he has potential?

[panteracfh]

a younger friend of mine, he is 16, hasn't used juice and doesn't want to yet, has been working out for like 2 years. used to be quite skinny, now he is 240lbs...at like 6'2'' 18'' arms, just a big guy.... he wants to be a body builder, you think this sounds like some good genetics at work?

Hell ya it does. The little asshole.

He is alright what is BF levels? How does his phyqisuqe look? Its not just how big you are, but how you look at your weight how your muscle is structured. I believe Scot Mendelson wanted to be a pro BBer, but could not cause he had a thick waist. he is the record bench holder at 875lbs. WOW!

yeah it depends on what he looks like. have him do a false cut for a show and see what he looks like shredded up. then he can work on his trouble spots and see what he looks like.

hard to say. He has the stats of a guy I know at the gym, he is 20-21 years old, and he doesnt look like he works out. He is chubby, and on his frame, his 18" arms look like they are 10".

 

[panteracfh]

no, he looks like a thick guy that works out... his BF isn't that high... he doesn't have a belly or anything...he isn't cut up, but there isn't much fat... i would say from just guessing... around like 15%

Sounds pretty good to me, I am 6'2" and was able to hit 17" arms around 18 with a less than stellar diet. When I ran my first cycle somewhat recently, I was stuck at benching 265 and I was around 17 1/2" arms or thereabouts, I really dont think my genetics are that great, dont think I could have gone much past that without some serious time investment.

here is my friends old stats when he was 17: 6'1", 220lbs, 18inch arms, sounds impressive dont it? well, here is final stats at 24 6'1", 280lbs, 20inch arms still sound impressive eh? he has a 45inch waist also to go along with those stats.

In bodybuilding stats mean about jack crap. I don't have a picture of your friend so i couldn't make an honest judgement or not. But your friend must realize that bodybuilding takes TIME. That and he will have to be very regimented. Not to many people have what it takes to stick with a precontest diet. Theres a lot of big guys walking around but not to many big and cut ones. Plus his height is working against him. Bodybuilding is not a sport well heighth is a plus. At 6'2" he'll have to weigh 275 - 300lb to look like he belongs on stage at a IFBB show. Does he want to weigh 340 lb in the off season to make a living. All the more power to him if he does, but he needs to get an education first and that needs to be his main priority. Not a lot of money to be made in Bodybuilding so u need other means of income.

 

[jocktheglide]

you can make a decent living being a pro as long as you get guest spots here and there etc...I mean dont expect to live LARGE or anything, but you can make a decent living better than being a janitor somewhere or something along those lines. true A picture would be better stats dont mean squat its how you look to go along with those stats.

Admitedly, I have seen someone on another board, just as an example. I dont workout but I have 19" arms, well the guy was all adipose tissue so...

 

[Powerhouse9]

shit let him grow on his own, tell him not to touch the stuff til atleast 24yrs old. Let him tap his own potential 1st.

 

[panteracfh]

i think his waist is like 36... he is really regimented... he doesn't drink or smoke... and usually eats alot and sleeps...besides doing school work and working out...and when he goes out with us at night he'll be eating some proetien bar shit all the time... anyway...he just turned 16 so he has 2 more years, i think his goal is to be like 280 or higher when he is 18...
as for height, fuck bodybuilding, i rather be 6'3'' and just throw people around...but im 5'8'' ...

 

[slobberknocker]

Hell yeah everyone has potential. Tell him to go for it and don't look back.
