Jake Paul is 220 pounds now, and he trains daily but he is bigger he isnt some slob lying down and pigging out he is training and has more mass now than he did in his youth, someone claimed that are metabolism doesnt slow down, but you can find so many instances of twink guys who got fatter or bigger as they hit 30.

If metabolism slows down why did he put on so much weight as he got older? he was slim kid in his youth weighing 170

Also look at so many guys who were skinny but put on weight like Chris Tucker.

Chris Tucker never worked out before and he ate the same amount of food, why did he get fatter as he got older?

He was super skinny when he was under 25 years old and doing Friday and Fifth Element.

My friend from school who was skinny he never played sports he he weighed 125 pounds at 5 foot 9 when he was 18, and now he is 38 years old and is 168 pounds, he actually walks more now he told me he walks to work he lives in the city and doesn't drive so he walks to the market on his block and to work and his loft daily.

He claims natty, dont they test them in boxing?

I thought they use VADA testing? Ryan Garcia got popped for Ostraine

IFBB are members of WADA. Nuff said.

This is almost as dumb as Car Salesmans threads about nutrition and metabolism

Jake paul is on steroids

Buddy.... Jake Paul went from 190 lbs to 230 lbs in less than 8 months and he looks similar bodyfat to when he was 190. He gained 40 lbs that quickly of solid weight.

How long you been on this bodybuilding forum? Have you learned anything in these years? That sound natty?

Jake is 100% on gear.

lol you serious?

1) stress

2) it does slow down, a little

3) cumulative effects of processed food over time

LOL oh chit I just checked out his photos from the weigh in he has those lactating erase head nipples that happens when you take roids, he probably is on juice he just has those Chit genetics for muscles, thats why he can pass as Natty he doesn't have good muscle definition or insertions.

He was 175 pounds at 6 foot here at age 22



Here he is at his very first boxing match he weighed 182 pounds without cutting weight


He cut down to 200 pounds to fight Perry, but was bulking up to 230 pounds for Tyson, you see his steroid nips

I believe it slows down a little, but certainly not enough to explain the weight gain.

The answer is that as people age they accumulate more resources and live a more comfortable life, i.e. lives closer to work, stops working out or working out as much, takes the car and/or taxi/uber vs. walking or taking the bike. etc etc. Couple this with an already small to moderate daily caloric surplus most people in their 30-40s become visibly fatter.

Its in the name bruv. Voluntary Anti-Doping Association.

Garcia did not have to submit to Vada. He choose to lol.

My friend from high school was 125 pounds and NEVER worked out he wasnt on any sports teams, he even got a ride home from his parents. He is 38 now and weighs close to 170 pounds and walks daily, doesn't have a car because he lives near his work in the city and has everything around the city he lives, the grocery, movie theater ts in a small town. He also doesn't pig out or eat junk, he eats petty much the same he did in high school

only thing I can think is Testosterone increases for some people causing the weight gain of muscle mass as we age.

Look at Anthony Micheal Hall for example

6 foot tall 130 pounds at 18


And then when he was 35 he was 200 pounds

boxing is the wild west with no central organization. jake wont even fight in vegas because testing is stricter there. VADA/WADA all that stuff is not mandatory, the florida sports commission would have given him a simple piss test before after the fight which obviously a single point in time and meaningless because he could juice all year long if he wants and its easy to pass a test you know when its happening.

I'm not sure you fully understand how metabolism works, OP.

lol brooooooooooooooo...........brooooo........

Arnold only took "a tiny bit of it" back in his day, too. He says so, so it must be true, right?

steroids really age the hell out of you, jake has aged like 15 years from 22 to 27 jesus



at 22 jake looks 20. now at 27 he looks like 35+



when i was 27-30 people thought i was 22.

It makes sense lol, he only fights in Florida and Texas two commission that are lax on roid testing and even allow him to fight a geriatic Mike Tyson, that fight would never be approved in California, or Vegas, Tyson has a lifetime ban from boxing in Las Vegas he can't fight there since the ear bite I believe.

Please tell me how metabolism works

Your friend has gained 45 lbs. Obviously he has been in a caloric surplus. In fact if you do the math 45 lbs in 17 years comes out to an average small daily surplus which is exactly my point.

Testosterone between 18 and 35 is pretty much identical, so that is likely not the explanation.

people tend to be more active when they're younger

when they get older they're working desk jobs and/or eating shiit food, sleep like shiit, don't work out, eat more calories than they burn, etc.

that's why you'll even see tradies who are fat as fuk, either they were fat before, or the were already getting fat and continue to get fat, despite physical activity

the major difference is in lifestyle and diet gets worse

these days diet is atrocious, you will see kids who look like the marshmallow man from ghost busters

people don't take care of themselves and the body's mechanism for rebuilding itself slows down altogether, but you can keep that mechanism working and you can keep your metabolism active through diet, exercise, proper sleep / habits

So your metabolism doesnt slow down at all?

yeah arnold did the half truth, he said he took a small amount of like one drug. People around him in the era say they were taking like 10x what arnold admits to. they actually knew very little about it so knew very little about liver damage ect of it.

The Tradies thing is strange because I read somewhere doing manual Labor is intense and burns the most calories

So I think its diet, most Tradies get hungry from burning calories so they end up eating like chit, they will eat twinkies, cookies, brownies, Donuts, Doritos chips, nachos, drink sugary energy drinks like Monster or redbull, and then after work they eat pizza, chicken, burgers, and beer at home

So I think with them its diet they pig out and dont eat healthy at all its why you see some with huge guts but with lean vascular forearms that are muscular.

I remember when I was living in DTLA and seeing the Tradies building the loft near by they ere fixing it and reinforcing it to meet the requirements for housing, anyway they worked there for months and id see them eating fastfood and donuts during their breaks and drinking sugar sodas, and eating Burers, nachos, pizza, and hotdogs so its no wonder they got guts
