Carlos sighed. He tried to hang from the still rings, but he struggled with it. He just didn’t have the strength for it. He could pull himself up and extend his legs, but then he would fall off. The coach told him to do more handstands in order to build the muscles in his arms.
He was only ten years old and one of the youngest boys on the gymnastics team. He was also short and skinny. He often contemplated quitting gymnastics for soccer, where he had a cousin on the team.
After failing his third attempt at the rings, he decided to take a break and walk to the juice bar. He asked the lady for some chocolate milk, but they only had regular milk. The lady poured a mug of regular milk and them mixed in some chocolate powder, so he still got his cocoa mix.
Carlos sat on the bench and enjoyed his chocolate, although it had a slight aftertaste which he couldn’t describe. He ignored the weird taste and finished all of it, tossing the paper mug in the trash.
He wandered over to the rings when he was overcome by a strange rumbling sound which came from his stomach, followed by a tingling sensation in his muscles! What was going on?
“Uhhhh!” Carlos groaned as his pectoral muscles stiffened up and then grew thicker and wider by a few inches! His arms suddenly bulged with muscle as well, with his triceps and biceps growing by an inch on each arm!
“Hey! What… What’s going on?” The boy wondered, admiring the results of his unexpected muscle growth spurt.
He had no idea that these muscles grew thanks to him drinking the tainted milk!
