Joey Swoll defends Adin Ross’s 'body transformation' as viewers mock gym progress

Joey Swoll has come to the defence of streamer Adin Ross after the internet mocked his one-year body transformation pictures.

Bodybuilder and fitness influencer Swoll has made a name for himself online commenting on things like gym etiquette and the treatment of those simply working out.

This time, he has come to the aid of fellow content creator Ross after images of his alleged one-year body transformation were shared online.

It seems the changes in his body composition were not as stark as some people expected after a year in the gym, and people made their thoughts known online.

“If I looked like this after a year, I would just give up. Maybe he went to the gym once every few weeks?” one person commented.

Someone else mocked: “Me after taking a s**t and doing an everything shower.”

Another wrote: “If you look like this after 1 year of gym, you're either lying or have the worst [genetics] on this planet.”

Swoll replied to the comment with a lengthy response detailing his expert view on Ross’s transformation.

“As someone who has coached for a VERY long time, you can absolutely see the changes in his physique,” Swoll said.

“I see improvement in his midsection, shoulders, arms, and chest. This is a very good and believable transformation. Not everyone is going to have the ‘drastic’ changes you often see on social media.”

He continued: “I also love the fact that this is over a whole year because it’s not about ‘how fast’ you can lose the weight or build the muscle, it’s about how you can do it the RIGHT WAY in a healthy, sustainable manner that can be maintained and further improved upon. My hat’s off to him or anyone who works hard in the gym to better themselves.”
