Athy Lee, the 14-year-old bodybuilder who wants to go professional 

Dammn, I always see him in ig reels, didn’t expect him to make it this far, at the age of 14 too, bro, we are hella prod of you Lee

so beautiful to see his parents are so kind and supportive, instead of forcing him to study when he found his passion

my parents always stopped me from lifting in my early teens and barred me from it, i wish i had this guys parents who are supportive

Keep it up bro! We are all behind you. Great to see a young person committed.

Lil guy gonna be a beast once his T kicks in a few years. May you stay healthy and injury free 💪💪

From Instagram to CNA, man is going places. I'm glad I was lucky enough to see the start of his journey, stoked to see how far his potential brings him

My goodness. There was a phase in my life when I was a gymrat. I was also 14. But it was the early 1990s and in those days, NO teenage boy goes to the gym. At 15, bros in the gym thought I was in the army, and the caretaker at the Kallang Stadium gym then, the Olympics Silver medallist for powerlifting, a Mr Tan Howe Liang, wanted to train me as a powerlifter because he saw me dedicated and a regular gym goer. Lol. I politely refused and told him I wanted to have a sculpted and lean physique, not a stocky one. That was so long ago, and really, we were a lot more innocent or naive back then. These days, anabolic steroids is so bloody easily to get. One wrong decision and it will destroy your life. Don't focus on the physical appearance. Focus on your performance and your health. Get stronger, more powerful, more agile, faster, etc. Focus on being functionally fit. The physique tends to follow as a side effect. In that way, you will not fall into the temptation of wanting to look a certain way for its own sake. That would often mean to try out 'gear', ie gym lingo for performance enhancing drugs, because you may be impatient, struggling to recover and rejuvenate quickly, etc. Even older men are not exempt from the temptation. I am in my middle age now and recovery gets longer, and I tend to get injured more easily if I push myself too much. One of my sons can be in a three hour ball game and then a two hour blitz of calisthenics and still recover quickly enough to repeat the same thing the next day. If I were to just do an hour of calisthenics, and by calisthenics I mean bodyweight exercises in strict form, I would be sore the next day, regardless of how conditioned I am. Reach past a certain age we can no longer recover as quickly and we have to rest more. Now, the temptation would be to take gear. Anaoblics actually boost your body's ability to recover and rejuvenate much faster than our natural free testosterone. Was I tempted? Sure. But the risks absobloodylutely outweigh the benefits.

You're gonna go far kid. Just remember to never, never, never touch steroids

having a good mentor with the right mindset is crucial, kudos to coach Adrian Tan

It's a great time to be an influencer/content creator now for fitness because being natural is more accepted and you can make far more money doing social media than competing if he wishes. I was this kid once starting at 14 as well. Ultimately I decided not to go down that path at 18 since I knew I would need steroids to compete properly. Wishing success for this young man

Good to see potential bodybuilders like you in sg, Athy. Just make sure you don’t believe too much of everything you see in social media. Most important of all, don’t ‘injure’ yourself with steroids and ego. Good luck!

With such supportive parents, he is sure to succeed ❤

I started my fitness journey last year when I turned 14. I lost a good amount of weight for my first time and things were looking good. Been slacking off for a good while since last year’s summer but I’m gonna get back on the grind. I’m 15 now and hope that by the end of this year, I become decently lean and have an aesthetic physique.

I’m glad his parents support him. As an asian if say i want to say “I want to be a professional bodybuilder” instead of being a doctor or an engineer, they would scold me so bad.

This kid has pro potential you can tell by his lat and shoulder genetics 🙌👍

I wish I started working out at he’s age Don’t give up I have faith in him

Ey i just saw this kid appear on my Insta feed a month ago or so. Nice to see he's getting this kind of coverage.

I've seen his progress on Instagram. Progress is consistent and that's all that matters. Its obvious to anybody with a brain that his metabolism is on the faster side hence the bulk. He's 14 too, literally still developing yet he still shows his passion and soul for it and I'm sure he's able to bench more than his haters. The bulk will genuinely go crazy and I'm sure that once body development does its thing, the gains will go crazy. Wish the best for this dude 🙏

Lil calculator made it in the news😮🥷🏻

Bro became successful even before being big. Keep going lil bro, its never about the physique, it's about the message. Yours is heard by the world. Keep going.

his stage name can be....Athyleete

Been a fan of bro on reels can't believe he's on my youtube recommended 😅

man is mad with the gym progress and social media progress at such a young age. Kudos to the parents also as this is definitely a niche route and they are very supportive about it! Can't wait to see him representing Singapore for Mr Olympia in a few years time!

Looking forward to see him on the competition stage one day, and maybe on my bodybuilding channel as well! Keep it up, all the way!

Just remember to stay natty as much as possible

Wish people would feel the same about me, I'm 14 too and a body builder keep up the work.👍

keep it clean like what u are doing right now.. you will hit plateaus and thats where the challenges begin be it external "influences" and keep your protein intake in check. I caught my CKD by chance during a blood test.. and 25 years of protein/mass shakes finally caught up..

Such a motivated lad! Go fulfill your dreams little bro!

so proud of this guy making it this far already!

supporting this guy and im hella proud of him but i just hope he doesnt take it too far and doesnt destroy his health

Genetically, it’ll be an uphill battle for him. But we’ll see what hard work and consistency can achieve. Suspect the temptation to juice will be high in years to come, parents must watch for it.

Kid is not going to make it without the drug. He's like a stick beside Arnold.

Bro you made it this far I knew you could do it all the best brother💪🏻👍🏻

This guy is very good and well mannered,no ego always tries to message back

INSANE 14 year old kid

bruhh, i watched you since started Ur Instagram , great you are going ahead . achieve it bruhh. Keep it up

Kudos to his young parents for supporting his interest and a healthy one at it too!

Wow respect to his parents supporting him and raising him.

Good stuff man! Keep up the consistency 💪

This boy gonna be a monster at age 20.

Honestly a stupid idea. Pro bodybuilding is all subjective leading to bad self-image, where there is not even an objective good. Competing requires you to use drugs, destroying your body. Bodybuilding is not meant to be done by kids. His body is not developed until he is 20 at least, meaning he's going to look trash regardless. Why not put him into an actual sport that has long term benefits and guide the body to healthy growth? What on earth made them choose bodybuilding? To make money through sponsors? So many people start bodybuilding late and that makes more sense.

Its so fire that his parents are so supportive

the bulk is going be insane

Very disciplined and hardworking! Good job athy! 👏

i can see his bright future side. With those effort and supports around him family, friends and coach. He'll have the potential to move forward in bodybuilder.

I followed this kid cuz I’ve seen his progress and it also motivated more to be consistent.

I have Watched him since day 21

Food, Supplements, Rest and most of all a good coach to look into your Nutrition and Training Programs not just talk with dreams .

Not 108 pounds to 113 pounds or even 106 pounds to 117 pounds to 127 pounds

Little Bro is a beast, wish him the best for the future

Great support from his parents!

Stay away from roids

Keep natural kid. I was the first in Australia to hold NATURAL bodybuilding contests in 1968 (ANBB). Years ago a famous roidboy had a heart operation in mid forties and the doctor said he had a heart of an eighty year old. Haven't been to a doctor since check up 25 yrs ago except when hit by a car whilst cycling a couple of yrs ago.. The doc said I had the heart of a 25yo athlete. That's the difference.

Wow, I've been following him on Instagram for a while now. I'm glad to see he's getting up there

Amazing kid with amazing parents!

keep it up my chigga!

I pray that he doesnt go on steroids, we need natural bodybuilders to inspire the youth especially.

I thought it was going to be a impressive 14 year old , but from the weights he was using it's the same weights any 14 year old uses when they workout

As long as it is done safely and he does not get injured, any sport should be supported.

20 on incline press ah hell nah

Wishing you all the best in bodybuilding and hope one day you will represent Singapore in competition👍

He’s a really good kid but personally at 14 I have a bigger physique and I mean he does deserve the attanetion just that I know in fact there’s more bigger 14 year olds

He will soon realize that BB is no different from any extreme sport with high risk of death when he uncovers the dark side of the sport as he goes pro. That's the reason I only encourage my son to just build muscles in gym and not BB.

This kid sold me fent

This guy looks like my old friend in tuition

2:20 2 Corinthians 12:9 really hits home, especially for their son who's training to be a professional bodybuilder. It's a pretty uplifting Verse for him.

Dude throwing a most muscular. Right on

Unfortunately going professional in bodybuilding is not a good thing

He looks great. He has good natural shape and tone. Not much size now but as he ages He will look better. Keep up the life stay natural be healthy always.

身体だけでなく心も鍛えよう 生きとし生けるものが幸せでありますように

He's got a long way to go! Just like I did, and still do!

Kid looks awesome!

AYYYY HE MADE IT ON THE NEWS YOOO

very eloquent in his speech

yooo my chigga got famous

Keep this up & you’ll be a danger to all of us💪🏻💪🏻

Once bro finish puberty he gonna become a demon

you go G!

Stay natural wish you success. amazing parent very important.

You made it bro 🔥🔥🔥

yooooo i always see him in instagram glad to see him featured

Unless he competes in natural category, which is pretty much nonexistent, then he might possibly spiral down the path of tren, anabolics etc. But good for him for being passionate about it, if he one day decides not to take any kind of substance to compete, he could still be a content creator as well as fitness coach.

he has the best parents on earth,. hands down

nice job chigga!

expect another video in 15-25 years how broken that ex 14yo kid is and how cruel his parents were, cause he developed wrong way and has so many diagnoses.

Great job dude, i hope you keep it natural

His fitness trainer, Adrian Tan, is a walking pharmacy. I hope he doesn't pass that along to his little apprentice.

Absolute legend

14 yo and already bigger than me?! Hell nah, I should've grinded in the womb

He,still goes to school and he's not even 96 or 98 pounds he's more like 105 to 110 pounds not 100

Too young. Parents in desperate need of a wake-up call.

Ofc he’s the popular kid bruh 😂

Great job man

Its crazy to see how everyone is supportive for him Especially his mother who is literally saying nutrition is mostly important and in a country like india , first you have to face a interview with your parents to go to the gym because of the posts they see on facebook or whatsapp university I am 14½ and have pretty good body like i do not like to brag but i think i am in the top 10-5 % just going to the gym for almost 5 months now. I just imagine how life would be if parents understand that thier child knows what is good or bad for him I am not able to buy any whey or creatine when i am going to cut this summer . I wish India in future would be less conservative or orthodox because the current situation is really terrible 😔.

Power sia, when I grow up I want to be like him.

Got dreams, everyone is great.

Maybe I should go professional too

Dream parents. I wish mine were as supportive as his growing up 🔥

I'm not going to put him down but like there's so. Many kids that wants to be professional bodybuilders at his age or younger with good and bad genetics but how come I never see them talk about them. Good job on him anyway. Give or take in the next 4 years hell be massive

stuntin his growth harder than last time
