Kudos to this guy. If he wants to take HGH, I won't say a thing.
perhaps my eyes are off but that looks like a bad photoshop job

I’m 5’4”, and an unfit 130lbs. Maybe HGH is the way to go.
... nah
I was thinking the same thing.
They have more pics. He looks knock kneed but otherwise very proportional and healthy for a dwarf.
OK I checked the link and they all look like bad photoshops...the size if the guys nugget is huge and throwing off my judgment - my BS meter is broken now ;-)
This story kinda creeps me out.
I am 5’3 but in excellent shape. I can lift more than my weight. I mainly stay work out to stay healthy and just incase I need to defend myself.
If this story is true, I will eat my own shoe on YouTube.
He’s probably a primordial dwarf. They are well proportioned and very rare. There’s one working in a local grocery store. He stocks the lower shelves. No kidding, he does.
Photoshop job.
Hey props to the guy for working with what he’s got. I hope they get him some cooler gear. Those shorts look like they came off a cabbage patch. He would be the gym mascot no doubt.
Are you male or female?
He weighs 9kg and can lift 1.5kg. That’s 16.66% of his body weight. I weigh 190 and can curl 50lb dumbells. That’s more than a quarter of my body weight. I’m not impressed. I’m not even a body builder. I have seen guys curling 80 and 90 pound dumbells and that’s about 1/2 their body weight.
Download the photo and enlarge it in Photoshop or some other image editing software. The lower outside part of his left arm (halfway between the wrist and the elbow) is cut out in a perfectly straight line. So are the contours of his trunks and shirt. Looks like an editing job to me.
Including his shadow on the other guy’s shoes?
