Tristyn Lee became famous years ago on social media for his incredible muscles when he was just a teenager.
And now, five years later, his physical transformation is simply spectacular – he’s a mountain of muscle! And he was going to be a footballer, his other great hobby.
Training with bodybuilders
A competitor on the platform, he has more than two million followers on Instagram and his videos of him training and showing off his muscles have thousands of likes.
Especially because he doesn’t train alone, we’ve seen him working out in the gym with bodybuilding stars and legends such as Larry Wheels, Simeon Panda and Bradley Martyn.
He is just 20 years old
The boy bodybuilder who went viral at the age of 15 and reached just four per cent body fat has turned 20 and shares on Instagram with his more than 2.1 million followers his spectacular physical evolution into a five-foot-tall mountain of muscle.
Tristyn Lee admits that his obsession with eating less and training more to reduce his body fat nearly destroyed his life.
He spoke in the past about the decision to quit playing football.
He said: “That’s me. Good old 4ft 1in, 65lbs Tristyn making his way down the field with the hopes and dreams of making it in what some would call professional – football – others soccer.
“The majority of you have likely seen my bodybuilding fitness, half-naked content.
“But for the OGs who have been following for a few years, you’ll know I used to play football quite competitively.
“But why did I stop? Too short? Too much muscle? A combination of such?
“The truth is that over the years, although competing with others was fun, the real enjoyment for me came from the hours of work I would put in behind the scenes with no-one watching.”
Lee added: “Winning was great, scoring goals was cool.
“But if I got the opportunity to jump into the weight room, go balls to the wall in some sprints until I couldn’t any more with some heavy squats, I took it.”
