I’m a teen bodybuilder who’s trolled for my one skinny arm…it doesn’t stop me hitting the gym and I love all the jokes
A TEEN bodybuilder has taken social media by storm but not because of his bulging physique or impressive workouts.
Jackson Schop, 19, has gone viral because of his two vastly different sized arms, which have left him with an incredibly unusual look.
The American’s right arm is exactly how you’d expect a bodybuilder’s arm to look, but his left arm raises plenty of eyebrows with its childlike build.
Jackson has been trolled as a result of his image but that hasn’t stopped him from hitting the gym.
The teenager has taken all the jokes in good faith and even admits that he “loves” them.
However, as reported by news.com.au, Jackson explained the perfectly reasonable explanation behind his unusual physique.
He said: “Hey guys! Just wanted to explain what happened. I was involved in a snowmobile accident in January 2022 causing paralysis of my left arm.
“I love all the joke comments so don’t get offended for me. Sincerely, Your Roblox Avatar.”
Because of his honesty and good-natured response to trolls, he earned plenty of praise from his followers.
One person wrote: “Huge respect to this guy for keeping up the grind and taking jokes.”
Another added: “Keep going bro. That’s f awesome to see you battle forward.”
A third said: “Amazing bro. The fact you are able to go past this and still do things where other people stopped miles ago is inspiring.”
Following the accident the youngster said it took a while to come to terms with his condition, but after accepting there was nothing he could do, he moved onto accomplishing one goal.
“Part of me doesn’t really know how I accepted it. I would say for the most part, I just realised there’s nothing I can do about it,” he said.
“So why focus on what I can’t control? Instead, I focus on what I can control and by doing this it allows me to excel in other areas of my life, like for example, fitness – I’m in the best shape of my life.
“But if I were to focus on my paralysed arm, complain and be a victim to my injury, I would not be where I am today.
“Once I got out of the hospital, I gave myself a goal: get in the best shape of my life, regardless of my paralysed arm. I can officially say I accomplished my goal.”
Elsewhere, a 13-year-old bodybuilding sensation who is too young to join the gym claims girls are already ditching their boyfriends for him.
Eric English, from Fredericton, Canada, has been making waves on social media with his Hulk-like physique.
The youngster has amassed over 500,000 followers on Instagram through his impressive fitness videos where he shows off his toned body.
He also has a stream of sponsorship deals and owns his own website, where gymgoers can view his successful fitness plan.
