I think he's 25/26. I wonder if he'll keep on gaining weight or sit at 140kg for forseeable? watching his video site on youtube, he's slowly gone from a 110kg in his teenage years through the classes, adding crazy amounts to what was even early on an excellent squat and deadlift.

I wouldn't just gain mass for sake of it though, it should be slow and driven by lifts going up.
no point doing a dreamer bulk to put 10kg on total and 3 inches on the gut.
thinking of real world examples of world class lifters:
coan - 5'6" 100kg
bridges - 5'2" 82.5kg
khudyarov - 5'8" 'light' 125kg
lilliebridge - 6'0" 140kg


I dont think they are quite representative. 5ft6 and 100kg is alot of mass.

So realistically at 6'1 and 93kg I'm a skinny bas***d lol I'm done eating clean, to all the big guys did your body weight gains equal strength gains then slow down or do you keep trying to add muscle?
