45 pounds of muscle added in 4 months....damn!

That's dedication. Helps to have a body that can accept the weight.

I really don't think Loyer could do half that even if he consumed 10K calories per day and worked out an insane amount. Some people just can't put on weight.

Sadly, I thought I was more like Loyer until I graduated from Purdue and sat at a desk 50 hours a week for the first time.

Carsen Edwards had an amazing transformation, too. When he committed to Purdue, his height and weight were listed almost exactly the same as Braden's when he committed.

This is awesome stuff. Good for Braden and family.

You've seen me. The only time I'm putting on 45 pounds of muscle is when I go to the butcher and get a side of beef.

I went from 135 the day I entered basic training to 165 by the time I got to AIT 8 weeks later.

Growing up poor meant not a lot of food so I was underweight. You get a ton of food in Basic obviously and you also get a ton of working out obviously. It can happen pretty quickly in either direction as people who come overweight can find they lose a lot quickly.

Of course, thanks to a knee injury in law school, I gained almost as much more later for different reasons.

I started at 197, dropped to 158 then finished at 172 when I was in basic training. They will transform your mind and body both.
