In the quiet confines of Jared's bedroom, the air was thick with the scent of textbooks and the sound of pencil scratches. Jared, the quintessential nerdy teen with a stature that made him an expert at hide-and-seek (especially when standing behind lamp posts), was engrossed in his calculus homework.
Suddenly, a voice boomed in his ears, "Jared, it's Drew! Time to shake things up a bit!"
Jared jumped, his pencil snapping in two. "Drew? How are you in my head?"
"Alien magic, remember? Now, you've got two choices: come to the wrestling match with me or stay home and become a muscle mountain. What'll it be?"
Jared, ever the homebody, chose the latter. "Fine, but if I end up looking like a walking advertisement for protein shakes, I'm blaming you."
"Done!" Drew declared with a laugh. "Prepare for Operation Hulk-Out!"
Jared felt a tingle in his toes that quickly turned into a full-blown earthquake through his body.
This time, his muscles started to bulge all over!
KKKKKRRRRRRRRR!
His arms, once comparable to the twigs you'd use to roast marshmallows, began to swell. His biceps ballooned, straining the seams of his shirt sleeves, as if two soccer balls had been smuggled underneath. Jared’s arms grew twice as thick as before as his biceps and triceps just ballooned from his frame. His forearms grew bigger than bowling pins and his upper arms became massive!
KKKKKRRRRRRRRR!
His legs, previously not much thicker than his calculus textbook, now looked like they could leg-press a small car—or at least a very large dog. His legs just doubled in width and depth as his quads just ballooned from his legs and grew into massive pillars of thick, unbridled power. Large, thick, vertical cords of muscle covered the massive quads from the waist to the knees, making his legs seem truly gargantuan. His quads made his legs even wider than his bedroom’s doorframe!
KKKKKRRRRRRRRR!
His calves just grew like huge cantaloupes from the back of his legs, growing into big, large, round mounds of rock-hard muscle. The boy couldn’t help but feel anywhere from 50 to 70 additional pounds of muscle get added to his frame, all within just a matter of seconds, as he stood in his bedroom at just 4 in the morning.
KKKKKRRRRRRRRR!
His torso expanded, his chest puffing out like a proud pigeon, and his abs... well, let's just say you could probably grate cheese on them now. His stomach developed even more defined abdominal muscles, forming a sixpack which grew out into a an eight-pack and finalized into a twelve-pack of grooves and ridges like a large washboard. Now that his torso had grown and become twice as wide as it was before, thanks to his huge pecs, his increased torso now sported larger abs as well. But that was not the end of his growth.
KKKKKRRRRRRRRR!
Jared’s pectorals gradually expanded sideways and forwards, growing bigger, wider, and deeper. His pecs also caused his shoulders to expand, making his upper torso incredibly wide! His lats followed suit as the boy continued to gain an insane amount of muscle.
KKKKKRRRRRRRRR!
Lastly, Jared’s traps, delts and lats just grew to massive proportions. His huge shoulders just gave him the look of a football linebacker. In addition, at his new 6-foot height, he looked like a large, towering athlete.
KKKKKRRRRRRRRR!
As the growth spurt subsided, Jared stood in the middle of his room, his clothes hanging on for dear life. He looked in the mirror and gasped. The reflection showed not a skinny teen but a professional bodybuilder who seemed ready to bench press the dresser.
"Drew, what have you done?" Jared exclaimed, half in horror, half in awe.
"Relax, Jared," Drew's voice chuckled in his head. "You'll be the star of the science club and the gym. Best of both worlds!"
Jared couldn't help but laugh, flexing an arm and watching in fascination as his new bicep danced. "I guess homework can wait. Time to find out if these muscles are just for show!"
And with that, Jared set off to explore his newfound strength, leaving his calculus problems unsolved—but with a whole new set of equations to work out, like how much force his biceps could exert and the velocity at which he could now sprint to the fridge for a victory snack.
