Bodyweight training has won the hearts of many. The infection is spreading faster than ever. The local monkey bars are always crowded; the girls passing by are always looking.
It’s hard not to join the game, especially when everybody is telling that you can get as big as the legends of the sport naturally.
There are bodyweight monsters like Adam Raw, LittleBeastM, HannibalForKing and many others who weigh at least 200lbs and hold a ton of lean, dry muscle. It’s all nice and sweet, but as always, NattyOrNot is here to play the role of the hater asking uncomfortable questions.
Can you become as big as the legendary bodyweight king LittleBeastM without taking steroids or other PED?
HOW BIG IS LittleBeastM?
A few online sources suggest that LittleBeastM has the following body stats:
Weight: 227lbs/103kg {source}
Height: 5’11”/180cm
Bodyfat: unknown – visible lower abs; decent muscular definition;
What will be LittleBeastM’s weight at 5% BF?
To calculate how much LittleBeastM will weigh at 5% BF, I will once again use the formula developed by Lyle McDonald. You can read more about it here.
the formula
Goal Weight = Current Lean Body Mass / (1-Goal Body Fat percentage as a decimal)
I will assume that LittleBeastM’s body fat is 12% since he is pretty lean, but definitely not competition lean. He could very well be 10%, though.
At 12% hypothetical body fat, LittleBeastM carries 27 pounds (225lbs x 0.12) of fat and 198 pounds ( 225 – 27 lbs) of lean body mass.
When we input the data, we get the following result:
Weight = 198 / 1-0.05 = 208lbs
This means that at 5% LittleBeastM could weigh 208lbs. To put things in perspective, consider the following: LittleBeastM has about as much lean muscle mass as Serge Nubret despite being 1 inch shorter.
All of the above was accomplished at a very young age for the muscle game – 20.
In addition, LittleBeastM is 31lbs over the numbers in nattyornot.com’s guide for natural bodybuilders.
At 5’11” you will have a really hard time reaching а weight over 177lbs in a competition lean condition.
All of this leaves us with two possible conclusions:
- LittleBeastM is a mutant.
- LittleBeastM is on anabolic steroids.
Make a choice.
