weren’t a PSU guy, we would all be rolling our eyes.

…it’s not like Maybin didn’t have room to grow.

No one puts on that kind of muscle in 2 months…Victor Conte???

what does that say about OUR lifting / nutrition program???

It must suck balls…we could have used a bigger/stronger Maybin this year.

But when you have nothing to do all day but lift and train…no class, no practice…it is possible to get ripped. I bet Maybin hasn’t had a beer or pizza, or wings, or shitty food since he left PSU….it looks sketch, but i think he is fine.

Yes, there’s been a dramatic change in his appearance, but there has also been a dramatic change in his lifestyle.

He’s not taking classes anymore so he can focus 100% on putting in a solid four hours in the gym every day. And he has a personal trainer telling him every minute of the day telling him what supplements to take, what to eat, when to eat it, and when to sleep.

To come out and say it has to be steroids or even suggest it may be steroids without some kind of proof is very irresponsible and poor journalism.

Intensive Full-Day Program
Our intensive full-day program is a multi-session 6-day a week program with focus on the individual athlete. Designed specifically for athletes preparing for a specific event of competition, such as the NFL Combine/Pro-Day, the program runs between 4-8 weeks, with a mimimum commitment of 4 weeks of training. Each athlete will spend an average of 4-6 hours a day of extensive performance enhancement training coupled with aggressive regeneration therapy allowing the athlete to maximize their true athletic potential. Our performance specialist will closely monitor and motivate each athlete on a ONE-ON-ONE basis, focusing on proper technique and exemplifying the positive emergy required to elevate each athletes confidence and intensity to the highest possible level.

This is just the same as people criticizing Ryan Howard for losing 30lbs in the offseason(he must be on drugs). Im not saying its impossible, cause it is, however these people for the most part have bodies capable of much much more than most of ours ever will be, even the most fit of us. I believe Michael Phelps had a diet of 100 gazillion calories a day and was in the pool for 6 hours a day, and the olympics have pretty good testing.(there was some story dring the olympics about it), apparently his only weakness was some mary-j, which I would be more concernec if maybinw as using. or something

He’s probably on something, but let’s face it — he wasn’t really very ‘ripped’ before. He was skinny and had trouble putting on weight. I think if you take a kid with that kind of frame and give him some kind of 21st century nutritional and exercise program designed for his metabolism this transformation isn’t out of the question.

It IS a little sketchy, but like I said it’s not like he was jacked and THEN put on another 25 pounds — he simply went from skinny to jacked in a really short time period.

Find out what he weighed at the begining of the season last year, if it’s within 10 pounds of where he is now, this was nothing more than a guy who lost a lot of weight by not eating properly and working out a lot. The transformation was quick, but it may be because his natural weight should be closer to 250 than 225.

If you knew that essentially the only thing keeping you from being a first round (and possibly top 10) pick in the NFL draft was your small size, wouldn’t you be working your tail off? Of course he was working out non-stop and taking supplements, but it’s anyone’s guess whether those were illegal or not.

And yes, the photos are using a little bit of trickery. The worst photo should be kind of a crummy shot that doesn’t have a lot of contrast in it, thereby not showing much definition in his muscle mass. In the after shot, fire up that Photoshop and tweak the contrast to show some of the defined-muscle goodness.
