10 Interesting Revealing Facts About Connor Murphy
1. Connor Murphy Developed Interest in Fitness from Childhood, and His Muscles are Natural
Connor did not develop an interest in bodybuilding as a teenager; he already had an interest in fitness right from his early years as a boy. No wonder his muscles have fully grown even as a teenager.
Though it may sound impossible, the fact remains that the well-known bodybuilder and YouTuber is a Natty, as he has been laying claim to this fact for a long while. In a world where people believe it is nearly impossible to build such humongous muscles without running on muscle-stimulating steroids and special diets, Connor Murphy has solely relied on a good diet plan, genetic potentials, and workout plans to build his body to its current state.
Going by the history of how he gained his huge muscle mass, one would admit that his growth has been natural and not induced. Connor was already weighing a lean 185 pounds at 17 years of age and plateaued for three years before adding on 20 pounds in a year to climb high to 205 pounds, and this trend is similar to how a Natty grows. Another fact to back up his natural muscle growth claim is that it wouldn’t have been appropriate if he had taken steroids after the age of 17 and gained a mere 20lbs. He would have gained around 65lbs because he was still growing and at the same time bulking at that period.
2. He has been Remarkably Successful in His Body Building Career
As a bodybuilder and fitness trainer, Connor Murphy has come a long way doing what he knows how best to do. His total immersion in the fitness career has seen him participate in several bodybuilding competitions in the past, some of which he won good spots. An example is the third position he grabbed at a bodybuilding competition held at Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Centre Dallas in July 2016.
In addition to that, Connor Murphy also won many awards from several other tournaments, which has elevated his status to a professional bodybuilder and fitness trainer. Having started as an amateur bodybuilder about 8 years ago (in 2016), he was able to climb up the ladder and come to the top spot in the space of a few years.
3. YouTube has been His Biggest Platform to Fame
