-Diablo's Journal, 28 Nov 21

Have people ever asked you if you take “the magic pill” ? If so how did you react? I’ve had a couple of people ask me recently, and I don’t know how to react, whether I should be angry, or complimented.  

Yes but mostly behind my back. They'll ask others instead of confronting me. People can get to my size or bigger on 1 year of drug use. Imagine if this was my limit after 20+ years of lifting plus drugs. I know a guy who is smaller than me and he always talks about his steroid use. People like him who either don't know what they are doing or perhaps have bad genetics make people believe I'm on steroids, I think. I don't blame them it takes A LOT to get to this point. Most don't have what it takes so they will just claim anyone who looks big are using. Nothing can be done about it. 

Thanks Diablo. I’m not shredded like you but I’m so big at 17, and most of the tests I take say I have about 230-240lbs of lean body mass. When I tell people that, their first response is generally to say that I’m on steroids. It is kind of cool that people think that, but I want to be a natural bodybuilder and I don’t want to go through a career constantly have people say the only reason I’m good is because I’m on something, rather then my hard work.  

Lean mass will drop with your weight if you ever decided to get lean. I'm definitely not shredded. Probably over 20% bf. 

Even if that’s true, your back and triceps are looking like Kratos from God of War 4. That pretty dang cool for 20% body fat.  

I love God of War so thanks! 

I love the story, the graphics, and the characters. Hands down one of the best video games of all time.  

Awesome! 

Haha, keep on going man. You're f....ING awesome. 

👍🏻💪🏻 

Thanks, DP, Tai, and Kennyn! 

Looking great! Just got motivated 

d what a great story of dedication overcoming youthful exuberance. gotta love getting props for the accomplishment. I get chuckles when I lift. lol. killing it man and 20% for real? come on.  

Thanks, Savedra! HebrewZ, trust me, that's a low estimate. I was probably 20% when I was 194. Now at 209 it's probably 26% lol. My goal it too have enough muscle to where I don't mind being fluffy cause I still look leanish in a tank top. At least for the winter. Once Spring hits, I hope to be leaner. 

jacked!  

Thanks Moon! 

NEVER! I wouldn't dial it back. when I get to the point you are at sky's the limit. I have fallen so far but I will look like that again one day as well.  

Dial it back for a couple weeks to lemme catch up!! 😡 

Bfreich, yeah, it's winter anyway, may as well stay fluffy and powerful. 

Chris, a couple weeks huh? 20k calories a day? 😜
