Newbie Gains

[I saw this on the Bodybuilding Dungeon forum and had to share it with you guys. I'd love to see this guy's pix! -- rpj]

About 7 months ago I was lucky enought to get a great workout partner. He just turned 21 and was not very experienced with body building but eager to do it. He weighed 159 lbs and couldnt squat for beans or bench 135 lbs, a real newbie. Now he weighs 215 lbs, can squat 405 lbs, and does incline press with 110 lb dumbells etc etc etc. He is passing me by in the weight dept. I was the opposite [in terms of gains.] I started working out in the month of Aug at 192 lbs and by Dec I was 152 lbs. That was 8 yrs ago. I weigh 192 again but my body fat is gone.

[Doing the math: The guy's 21 y.o. workout partner put on 55 lbs. of solic muscle in just seven months!]

159-215 ..weighs himself after every workout..I am standing right there looking at the scale..I am amazed..never saw anything like this..he eats like a 300 lb line backer..no steroids at all..lots of glutamine..stretch marks every where..big huge red stretch marks ..kind of scairy looking but he loves them!..we are going to compete in 007..of course some dieting has to happen between now and then..I believe our workout and his natural ability has made this happen..we do heavy squats heavy dead lifts heavy shoulders,back and chest..we work out 3 days a week..get plenty of recovery time..

actually we are going to be taking pictures this weekend..of course these will be the before pictures..he just gained 50+ lbsand I gained 20 + lbs trying to keep up with him..I have no idea how to post them on here but, I will get him to do it..
