From comparing his numbers he seems to have slightly early onset puberty but followed average curve of growth. So from the article nothing really sticks out aside. From early growth. With just the article we can't really tell if his bone growth happened in line with expectations and just earlier or not.

he did have early cessation of growth. Compared to his parents he really ended up on the shorter side. Plus what I'm more worried about is the fact that his bone age advanced DESPITE no biological maturation as it is stated in the article. which could be due to the fact he had pretty high test and estradiol levels (740 test with 800 being the highest normal level for his age). Could building muscle through strength training induce in extreme cases such as this one an effect of acceleration when it comes to puberty??Could it increase androgen production and in a way force the body to go through puberty much faster? that's my question. As I said I don't claim to be a doctor and could very well be wrong.
