The world of fitness can be a little harsh on people who do not meet a certain standard. While these issues aren’t new to the athletic realm, it doesn’t imply that they cannot transform into a driving force. One such story is for a young bodybuilder Quinlan Smith. He rose above the criticism and proved how hard work can pave the way out.

The fitness enthusiast has been sharing his story of transformations with his followers. Formally a young pianist, Smith has grown up to become the co-founder of a fitness app, Top Challenger, a social network site for fitness. Smith recently shared a video on his YouTube channel showing his growth for five years.

Quinlan Smith’s massive transformation

Being extremely skinny from a young age, Quinlan Smith had been subjected to bullying and had been a victim of body shaming. To grow out of his body dysmorphia, he decided to change his physique and started his transformation journey. While initially he was teased for his skinny arms with phrases like “Twig arms”, per the athlete. Later on, the young star made a drastic change in his physique, so much so that Smith himself compared his arms to “Tree trunks” now.

In the video short shared by him on YouTube, Smith wrote in the caption, “My 5 Year Natural Arm Transformation – how I tripled the size of my arms”. Then the fitness enthusiast went on to say, “People used to call me Twig arms I Hated that, so, I decided to go from twigs to Tree Trunks”.

The fitness industry has seen many such instances in which an initially lean bodybuilder went ahead in the career to earn several competitive bodybuilding titles. Shocking as it might be, Chris Bumstead is one of them.
