Blame Zyzz, he was ground zero of this shyt. Dude has to be the most influential internet fitness influencer of all time. All the fake natty, bro culture, bro science, and looksmaxxing in online spaces. Basically the modern day internet fitness influencer was him.

Crazy cause I haven’t thought/heard about this guy forever but you’re right

I remember when I was in HS type age and having 1000% body dysmorphia cause I felt I was too small to play big time college football so started getting into that whole subculture

He really was that 1st mainstream guy. Can’t imagine him in todays era of social media

So you can't hit the gym/looks max and work on your personality at the same time? It's always some 'this or that' bullshyt up here. Working on your physical appearance doesn't give you a pass to be a a$$hole. We still need good people out here. Society is telling HALF-TRUTHS : "Personality and character matters..AFTER you pass the initial attraction stage." You need all 3 for long term success

Women want the best of both worlds, cuh. The fit dude who isn't boring & can hold a conversation. I would've agreed if you replaced personality with money
Of course personality should still be developed

It's just irritating when people downplay looks, especially in men

I see more of the opposite. Men down play the intangibles, while women down play the looks. Either way, I agree. It's annoying and the gaslighting has to stop

Anything better than seeing all these young dudes with less muscle mass than their woman

It's a hard lesson for me to accept, I can admit that. People say all kinds of shyt but actions say otherwise.

You rich? People will like you way more.

You in shape/attractive? People will like you way more.

I gotta start eating cleaner, tired of this
:mjcry:

It’s all discipline / routine.

Use AI to make you a food / workout plan and just lock in.

You got 4-5 months.

Society needs good people but it’s not a prerequisite for sure..just being honest. For sure you if u max out everything u will eat more, but maxing out looks weigh the heaviest on the lie chart that’s all that im saying.

Think about the dude who gets the most cheeks or an super absurd amount of chicks u know that too 10% guy, 9 out of 10 he is the biggest a$$hole to chicks.

I’m not on no heman woman hater shyt but I’m just keeping it real. Lot of guys invisible and looked over because society led them to belive some other shyt. A lot of guys just need to max out their looks and they will be okay. Simping is caused by a lack of options and u will naturally seem desperate, an abundance of options will naturally lead to more “game”…when u got a lot of options u are running game on autopilot because u really ain’t got time for all them hoes and the hoes really got to fight for ur attention.

Now this ain’t one size fit all there are some women who ain’t fickle but that’s like 5% and by the time u get to her society been the beat u down so bad u will be insecure..so im just telling nikkas to work on theyself.

It’s life breh, if u big and got a decent to afford it get ozempic or if u frail just hit the gym.

Just take it personal breh. If you focus on health and wealth everything else will fall in place.

Young men have always wanted to be muscular, I was like that too, sadly what is happening now is no surprise, with the constant bombardment of negativity, scams and bad messaging these young men are getting I'm not surprised

It been a problem since I was a teen in 06. Lot of them started off in the bodybuilding forms. Like every couple of months dudes were dying over heart issues from PEDs. Taking PEDs is damn near the standard now in fitness.

RIP Zyzz

Yh I grew up watching he-man, dbz and other marvel/DC superheroes. All I wanted was to be tall and swole and I obtained it naturally just being disciplined and consistent. I definitely thought about hopping on some sht back in 2012 but I was too spooked of the side effects and I was already pulling hoes before hitting the gym so it wasn't some huge motivator like a lot of dudes. I just wanted to fill out my clothes better as i was lanky af growing up.

Mofos talm bout your junk shrink, you can potentially go bald, potential heart attack, acne and that disgusting back acne you get from taking roidz and I said hell naw that sht aint worth it da fk:mjtf:


Thank God everyday I didn't even risk it. My health is pristine, skin smooth, package intact pause and no heart issues like kali muscle and em fools that got addicted and abused the sht.:wow:

Exactly

I remember when they were parading that little kid around. "Naturally muscular" kid, meanwhile his family was pumping him up with all types of drugs.

Is he still alive?
yup and looking like you would expect somebody who got their endocronic system fukked with, without knowing....
