@@travisbrontide4524 yea I've trained nearly every single day for an entire year for my first two year of working out, this dude just drank and drank and half assed his way to an incredible physique, so yea it is kinda depressing tbh
If you think that he barely did anything but party you are foolish. This man is seriously dedicated. He works out hard every day and to this day still tracks his macros. His life revolves around fitness so ofc he takes it seriously.
After watching this, I believe he is Natty. Sickest genetics ever. You could see he went in the first contest and got third natty. Then the competition went crazy on the PEDs and he still got 10th. Amazing
course its mostly genetics. he was muscly even when he was ten and did nothing, he was muscly when he was drinking 5 times a week lol. if I tried that id be 50 stone in a year
"Decent definition" at 17 years old, meaning way above average. Man, some people struggle their entire lifes to get that level of definition. At 17 you had a better physique than most of the average gym goers, even if your frame was small.
Jake shanks i do not thank so because he is not incredibly big, he had a constant and slow rate of improvement but jeez what a genetic monster is that guy.
I agree mike is blessed with good muscle genes, but there is hard work also involved... when i talk about myself i know hard work can bring out beast out of a lean skinny guy.... diet also plays a role. Thanks mike love ur videos. Very inspiring.
You heard him. He was working out every day some years. It took him 8 years to look how he does now. Genetics play a role in your shape, not necessarily your growth.
I'm honestly astounded by how great your genetics are. Sure, there will always be people crying 'roids' online, but to see how you looked like at such a young age without working out... Amazing.
Not true man. That must have happened to you after 7 years, not to me. Im his size and just as lean natural in less than 7 years, while also being just as strong if not stronger than him. I have been accused of juice ever since I started lifting. Even in my first year of lifting as a teenager at 15 I was accused of juice while eating junk food every single day and very little protein, and I looked better than 95 percent of naturals who were lifting for 10 plus years. Natural lifters VARY TREMENDOUSLY in size, strength, leanness, and strength. A lot of naturals look like garbage, while some look average, some above average, and some like amazing or like theyre on large amounts of juice, which is a huge variation which also depends on how hard you're training and how serious you're taking everything. You are very wrong to think you can't look like Mike naturally if you train very seriously and pay attention to your macros. You don't need supplements either because in the grand scheme of things they do almost nothing. Hes very lean at just over 200 and 6 foot tall. Very possible. Naturals bigger and leaner than him also man. He has amazing genes though and a strong work ethic so I give him a lot of credit. Im not saying he's natural though because obviously I dont know that. I'm just saying I know for a fact it's possible that he's natural.
This is not a transformation, the dude is genetically blessed and is naturally muscular. I do not see a single picture where he looked less than amazing. Dang!!!! It is totally possible that he worked out like crazy all his life, I was thinking he may have been a scrawny teenager or something but I don't understand how someone has a body like that at 18 unless you're naturally very muscular.
@@wanilimbe i mean, i litterally never remember not having abs, since i was a kid i had abs. 2/3 years ago my abs were fking lean. Now im a little bulky xd, still i have abs but not lean

That's nothing against Mike, he clearly has great genetics and has done a damn good job of building his brand but the reality is he's been on gear for years.

Wow. Gotta say I always thought there was no way Mike Thurston has the type of physique he has naturally..but he’s had this build his whole life. I stand corrected.
Haha he was natural throughout his teenage years but due too the amount of competitions and his status as a RUclips fitness model. It’s not “unnatural” too be on steroids if you compete and do it for a living(which he does and did) because all anobolic steroids do is reverse the catobolic effect so you produce more testosterone too RECOEVER MUSCLE faster you still have too weight train and apply stress and tension. Can’t sit on your ass and just inject 200 ml of test or trend. EVEB GUYS WHO OVER USE ROIDS AT THE GYM don’t look near as good they still carry a lot of fat or have no definition. He can’t be as open because it’s illegal but anyone in the IFBB/ BodyBuilding/RUclips Fitness All reach extreme levels of competition we’re taking steroids is a even playing field it’s not who takes more it’s about who has the most esthetic and nicest looking physique and also who trains the hardest will show.
Baldur Some people have a disposition to kind of active and athletic. Im sure he was pretty active when he was young and involved in sports. If you just sit around then you’ll become fat especially if you eat high calorie foods.

Dude. This dude was on PEDs since like 16 probably. Why u all think he was clean? Just bc he is not HUGE?? No he was patyy guy obviously.. So he took PEDs, ate little better then the normal person that works hard do and worked out everyday
Brother, I hear you about the guys getting bigger and bigger every year. The last Men's Physique show I went into, the guys seriously looked like bodybuilders in board shorts. There comes a point when enough is enough and guys that are too big should be scored down for being too big for the class. There is a "class" in the first place to make sure people have a target to shoot for.
I shook my head throughout the entire video. Holy Shit. He had muscles at 10 before he even started working out and he still had them when he wasn't even trying, and partying it up. Attaining your physique for the regular Joe seems impossible to me now.
Really enjoyed watching this. Tons of respect for you, man.

Amazing genetics, but I'm sure you wouldn't be where you are or look how you do if you hadn't put in the hard work! You're a source of motivation, man. Thank you for your videos. Salutes from Panamá!
genetics man. I mean you worked super hard but you're super attractive, chiseled jaw line and natural tan. damn bro, of course your teens and early adulthood was lit as fuck.
@@itsaaronlolz Agree to disagree. Have seen a lot worse looking "high fashion" models killing it. Not everyone can be an instagram model because you need to be paid to be a model. Anyone can do a photoshoot yes. However I cooked last night. Does that make me a chef? No because no-one pays me to cook food. But Judging by your picture you're a high fashion model so you would know lol
Nothing could have prepared me for you literally being ripped as an untrained 10 year old child. I love this video a lot, it's unintentionally so demotivating.
Not yet finished with the whole video, but I think that it is safe to say that you are naturally lean and your muscles respond very well to training. I've been trying to get lean, and have succeeded in putting on some muscles. However, the flabs from my overweight teenage years just ruined my muscle tone and definition. Any tips for effectively cutting the body fat? Plus, do you train like every day? Keep the videos coming, cheers!
You'll have to go through a period of cutting to get rid of that stubborn body fat. It will most likely take months of following structured nutrition programme which you don't deviate from! I listen to my body and take days off when I feel it's necessary. I try to cycle through phases of higher volume, training 6 sessions per week, some 2 x per day. Then periods of lower volume of 4 sessions per week.
Thanks for your reply, mate. Will try the high-low volume cycle to add variety to my workouts. As for the serious cutting, is it possible to elaborate on that with a video? I am sure many guys are super-interested in such insight from a pro like you. You definitely deserve more publicity and support, man.
Thanks Mike, I just started watching you here. I'm been doing Muay Thai for ages now but now at 38 nearly I've decided to start going crazy in the gym again. Started at 19 and trained for about 10 years then started to train and fight. I just bought your 30 week program so I'm hoping to get in some amazing shape like you. Good to see that you were always gonna be a muscular guy from those pictures of you as a kid with mad definition and size. Haha. I was always the smallest skinniest kid and still are one of those small guys. Anyway been watching loads of your content so thank you
With all respect to Mike, he was fit when he was young in elementary and high school age so it is a big reason why he can pack on the muscles relatively fast. As you may or may not know, but if you're into fitness you should know this, muscles have memory. So, if you run and play soccer, baseball, basketball on a daily range when you are young especially in high school then even if you don't exercise for the 10 years after high school you will still get fit faster than people who have never exercised. The importance is to teach your kids or teenagers to exercise regularly in high school and before they are 18, because if they want to get fit when they are 30 or 40 then they'll be able to get fit much faster than regular people who have never exercised regularly in their life. So, yes, Mike can get big quick and he has good genetics, but seriously, he was exercising throughout elementary and high school years, so his muscles have been active for all his adult life, not just in the last 7 years. As he said we all have abs, they just stay hidden behind all the fat, so the important part you should take from his video is nutrition, and regular exercise...put in the work, you will get results.
This is cool and super motivating. He trained hard for 8(!!)years, committed, healthy lifestyle, train right, eat right, supplement right, sleep right, create a strong body and enjoy life pays off. If you have the right training plan, regimen, you see results pretty fast and it keeps you going, rising higher over time. There has never been a better time to crush it...right now
Except that he started using roids, good genetics but he started using roids around 2013 ish. You can't get that body naturally mate. Especially when u go to 3 holidays in one summer drinking every other day and keeping that body.
Okay his program is actually the bomb ! It’s so good especially the quarantine home workouts ! Also, this video is the biggest flex lmaoo. he won the generic lottery and he is doing exactly what he was meant to do . Gods plan .....
This guy is clearly genetic elite I will no longer be taking advice from someone with zero concept of what it means to be a hard gainer, not that this video has demotivated me, not at all, but guys like this who's genetics mean that gaining muscle and shedding fat are relatively easy and a sure thing, coupled with the stack he's on (no doubt a conservative stack, since he has a slender waist and doesnt have that roided to the gills look that everyone recognises), makes him the last person any non easy gainer should listen to when it comes to training advice All that aside, his physique is outstanding and very aesthetic, that aspect is certainly inspiring and motivating
He juiced bro towards his 2nd years of training u can notice how he doubles in size while maintains the low body fat in like less than a year gap it's a dead give away.. Ofc hes genetically gifted,that's why not every body that juices looks the same.
Mike is one of those lucky guys who were handed a great foundation to start with. Back in the day he was really ripped but now seems like he’s more focused on his business and lifestyle vids. He doesn’t need to work too hard to stay in reasonable shape. Having fun with buddies in Ibiza. Great entertainment😍

There comes a point when enough is enough and guys that are too big should be scored down for being too big for the class. There is a "class" in the first place to make sure people have a target to shoot for.
loved this vid man. constant progression is
all one can hope for.
I shook my head throughout the entire video. Holy Shit. He had muscles at 10 before he even started working out and he still had them when he wasn't even trying, and partying it up. Attaining your physique for the regular Joe seems impossible to me now.
This has got me so depressed this man had a great physique through his whole life while also partying all the time.
Steroids
Your skin naturally holds less water so always looks tight on your muscles. Plus hard work in the gym. Good for you dude.
Really enjoyed watching this. Tons of respect for you, man.
Amazing genetics, but I'm sure you wouldn't be where you are or look how you do if you hadn't put in the hard work! You're a source of motivation, man. Thank you for your videos. Salutes from Panamá!
genetics man. I mean you worked super hard but you're super attractive, chiseled jaw line and natural tan. damn bro, of course your teens and early adulthood was lit as fuck.
Nigga u gay
ngl this guys got the best genetics for bodybuilding and just these fucking muscle insertions hes got are absolutely nuts
This guy was born to be ripped
really enjoyed this video...thanks...you have motivated me beyond belief...and I'm going to be 63 in March!
Same here (but later in Jan. for me.)
Cliff Ruebner bit late but hey go for it
HrvatskiSin its never late
I'm surprised you're not doing more modeling, with this physique/facial features of yours..
He’s average looking and has a nice body but does not look like a model and he’s technically “old”. He’s really hot but not a model..
Aaron Bear Average? What fucking world are you living in? The “average” male is a morbidly obese person who doesn’t even go the gym.
@@itsaaronlolz Average? his facial structure is model like too. What planet do you live on?
Stinky Pinky I guess not high fashion modeling. Everyone can be an instagram “model.”
@@itsaaronlolz Agree to disagree. Have seen a lot worse looking "high fashion" models killing it. Not everyone can be an instagram model because you need to be paid to be a model. Anyone can do a photoshoot yes. However I cooked last night. Does that make me a chef? No because no-one pays me to cook food. But Judging by your picture you're a high fashion model so you would know lol
Nothing could have prepared me for you literally being ripped as an untrained 10 year old child. I love this video a lot, it's unintentionally so demotivating.
I love how everyone talks about genetics. Besides genetics, there's another thing called consistency and commitment.
the pressure from instagram / socials is inaneeeee . I understand why those that take the sauce do it.
"Ehh, i didnt look too bad"
Proceeds to show a photo of his perfectly sculpted body
How does he look better than every one else in every photo it's like he has a whole lighting rig that he takes with him
Not yet finished with the whole video, but I think that it is safe to say that you are naturally lean and your muscles respond very well to training. I've been trying to get lean, and have succeeded in putting on some muscles. However, the flabs from my overweight teenage years just ruined my muscle tone and definition. Any tips for effectively cutting the body fat? Plus, do you train like every day? Keep the videos coming, cheers!
You'll have to go through a period of cutting to get rid of that stubborn body fat. It will most likely take months of following structured nutrition programme which you don't deviate from! I listen to my body and take days off when I feel it's necessary. I try to cycle through phases of higher volume, training 6 sessions per week, some 2 x per day. Then periods of lower volume of 4 sessions per week.
Thanks for your reply, mate. Will try the high-low volume cycle to add variety to my workouts. As for the serious cutting, is it possible to elaborate on that with a video? I am sure many guys are super-interested in such insight from a pro like you. You definitely deserve more publicity and support, man.
I’m obsessed with his channel and I’m getting into the habit of writing everything down and keeping track of my progress.
Same here.
I love how sunlight = happiness
dark shop = sad Mike
Well brother, you are genetically gifted. Good on you...
7:15 is that scotty t from geordie shore 😂😂
Thanks Mike, I just started watching you here. I'm been doing Muay Thai for ages now but now at 38 nearly I've decided to start going crazy in the gym again. Started at 19 and trained for about 10 years then started to train and fight. I just bought your 30 week program so I'm hoping to get in some amazing shape like you. Good to see that you were always gonna be a muscular guy from those pictures of you as a kid with mad definition and size. Haha. I was always the smallest skinniest kid and still are one of those small guys. Anyway been watching loads of your content so thank you
This guy has some all time crazy genetics. Probably 1 in a million. He came out of the womb ripped.
For some reason this video is extremely motivating to and helps me realize that the world isn’t such a dark place.
With all respect to Mike, he was fit when he was young in elementary and high school age so it is a big reason why he can pack on the muscles relatively fast.
As you may or may not know, but if you're into fitness you should know this, muscles have memory. So, if you run and play soccer, baseball, basketball on a daily range when you are young especially in high school then even if you don't exercise for the 10 years after high school you will still get fit faster than people who have never exercised.
The importance is to teach your kids or teenagers to exercise regularly in high school and before they are 18, because if they want to get fit when they are 30 or 40 then they'll be able to get fit much faster than regular people who have never exercised regularly in their life.
So, yes, Mike can get big quick and he has good genetics, but seriously, he was exercising throughout elementary and high school years, so his muscles have been active for all his adult life, not just in the last 7 years.
As he said we all have abs, they just stay hidden behind all the fat, so the important part you should take from his video is nutrition, and regular exercise...put in the work, you will get results.
playing sports like that is not going to build muscle. it's just cardio. he is a genetic freak.
This is cool and super motivating. He trained hard for 8(!!)years, committed, healthy lifestyle, train right, eat right, supplement right, sleep right, create a strong body and enjoy life pays off. If you have the right training plan, regimen, you see results pretty fast and it keeps you going, rising higher over time. There has never been a better time to crush it...right now
Except that he started using roids, good genetics but he started using roids around 2013 ish. You can't get that body naturally mate. Especially when u go to 3 holidays in one summer drinking every other day and keeping that body.
I do look like him... At 10 years old... It's kind of depressing really how much genetics are of a factor in myscle growth
Okay his program is actually the bomb ! It’s so good especially the quarantine home workouts ! Also, this video is the biggest flex lmaoo. he won the generic lottery and he is doing exactly what he was meant to do . Gods plan .....
Best chest genetics i've ever seen
8:40 she looks like scarlett johansson and sommer ray in one
The amount of work you put in is so inspiring thank you for sharing your journey!
the amount of genetics he put in was so inspiring too. maybe if i work hard enough i can get genetics like his.
Mike: Hi I'm mike and I'm 23
Me: wtf man 😧
This man put "What's The Difference" as background music. Thats dope
one of the best aesthetic physiques. People say top tier genetics and i agree but its also consistency and hard work. Good shit man
I see you with the 2Pac tracks in the background
This guy is clearly genetic elite
I will no longer be taking advice from someone with zero concept of what it means to be a hard gainer, not that this video has demotivated me, not at all, but guys like this who's genetics mean that gaining muscle and shedding fat are relatively easy and a sure thing, coupled with the stack he's on (no doubt a conservative stack, since he has a slender waist and doesnt have that roided to the gills look that everyone recognises), makes him the last person any non easy gainer should listen to when it comes to training advice
All that aside, his physique is outstanding and very aesthetic, that aspect is certainly inspiring and motivating
One Blue Boi What do you mean by ‘’early’’?
10:08 - "nothing really impressive" - ripped and swole. While I have been trying hitting the gym every week for 5 years and not even close.
He juiced bro towards his 2nd years of training u can notice how he doubles in size while maintains the low body fat in like less than a year gap it's a dead give away..
Ofc hes genetically gifted,that's why not every body that juices looks the same.
Mike is one of those lucky guys who were handed a great foundation to start with. Back in the day he was really ripped but now seems like he’s more focused on his business and lifestyle vids. He doesn’t need to work too hard to stay in reasonable shape. Having fun with buddies in Ibiza. Great entertainment😍
Damn Mike's Muscles to his Skin Color are all natural, I feel bad for ever doubting him
One day I hope so find someone I love as much as you love yourself x
I gotta be honest: I'm only here to check on the second image on the thumbnail.
Dude...this guy has the epitome of incredible genes. That's what his body looked like at 10? Geez...This is not real life people
For the jealous dudes saying he is on roids.Look at his fucking body when he was 17!!! Clearly very good genetics. This guy is gifted
Inspiring. Félicitations you never gave up, you kept yourself focused
