What the hell has this guy been eating? Sounds like an awful lot in a short amount of time.

A college kid can do that, he's still around his peak in growth and testosterone. Someone who's already physically gifted can add these things easier than most due to more fast twitch muscles than your typical person. When I was 21 I hit the gym and in about 8 months went from 175 to 210; granted I started out pretty lean and put on some fat to go with it, I mean that's kinda inevitable at those type of gains. Strength in the big 3 lifts went from around 30-50pct up and kept going, 40 time improved. My long distance running slowed but well, that's not what I was aiming for and I'm sure neither is Maybin.
