Frank Yang is one of wildest people in YouTube’s bodybuilding world. His videos are loaded with activities that pull out the cringiest grimaces.

Over the last few years, Frank Yang’s physique has shown a tremendous improvement. He has become an aesthetic beast. Some even compare him to Zyzz. How did he achieve his mind blowing transformation? Naturally? Did he use anabolic steroids? Let’s find out.

How big is Frank Yang?

In one of his videos, Yang says that he is closer to 5’10” but used to list himself as 5’8″ and 3/4 because he wanted to be a short guy that can dunk a ball. In addition, he also did a lot of calf raises to stunt his growth. For the sake of simplicity, nattyornot.com will use the medium measurement – 5’9″.

There is also a clip showcasing Frank Yang’s  transformation from 143lbs to 175lbs in three short weeks.

The end result is surprisingly good, although Yang is not in the leanest state at the end of his bulk. Nevertheless, he is still pretty cut.

As you can see in the video below, the muscular gains are incredible, especially for that time frame.

Yang explained his transformation as follows:

“I can bulk this fast because I trained for strength and explosiveness for years. Which means my CNS is more efficient than the average person.

With that, I can activate and recruit MORE muscle fibers than someone who doesn’t train neural efficiency…hence I get bigger a lot faster because the amount of muscles that are called into work every time I lift. That and I eat around 4000-6000 calories a day.”

Honestly, this explanation feels like a quote from the encyclopedia of bro-science.

“Neural efficiency” is not enough to explain a growth of this magnitude.

In addition, Frank Yang ate a ton of calories to achieve his transformation but didn’t gain much fat in the process.

In the photo below, you can see Zack Evetts who trained under the wing of Mark Rippetoe and was on a diet of around 5,000 calories.

He went from 160lbs to 240lbs in about 6 months. {more}

The logical question here is how did Frank Yang gain more visual muscle in 3 weeks than Evetts did in 6 months of similar bulking?

The bitter truth is that when you are natural, dirty bulking produces results similar to those displayed by Evetts. You cannot force your muscles to grow by eating more. It’s impossible.

Is Frank Yang Crazy Enough To Use Anabolic Steroids?

Taking steroids may very well be one of the most normal activities that Frank Yang does besides playing the violin. His videos are full of craziness, nudity, vomit, sex, vaginas, insolence, self-humiliation, creativity, schizophrenia, Napoleon complex, stupidity, courage…etc.

Steroid injections and recreational drugs fit the profile.

Therefore, it seems that Frank Yang is more than crazy enough to do all kinds of steroids.

Seriously, just a minute of his videos requires about 1 hour of professional rehab.

Is it possible to achieve the physique of Frank Yang Naturally?

It depends on the version. His initial stats of 142lbs at 5’9″ can become a reality naturally. However, anything above seems highly unlikely. Moreover, it will definitely take longer than 3 weeks.

It’s also worth noting that in many photos and videos Frank Yang looks composed in a digital editing software such as Photoshop.
