I just don't necessarily agree that getting into lifting is something that should be praised if your motivations are to act like a douche, in essence.

There's so many good and worthwhile reasons to get into lifting, I just could never imagine how all those great reasons were ignored, and the one that stuck was "I want to be like Zyzz."
I'd say just take this as an opportunity to lol

Are you sure, because you're dedicating a whole new thread to him years after he has passed? That seems a little salty...


Like him or not, he did his thing with no fuks given. Doubt he would have judged you back, who is the insecure one here?

It's what came after Zyzz that I take issue with. Read the last sentence again m8, I think the lifting community could be in a much better place than it is now. I do see Zyzz as part of the problem, people took what he had and ran with it in the wrong way.

I'm sure there are things everyone doesn't like. I think scoring ridiculous HGH/insulin guts highly is fuking embarrassing for a sport but that's the way it is. I'm sure some powerlifters think guys doing 10+ reps are twinks and some BB'ers think the powerlifters are fat forklifts. I think zyzz only has a legacy due to a smallish number of people who would have picked up on someone similar anyway (the crowd at EDM fests on pills) and a few people who keep whinging about it. Can solve half the problem easy enough.


Bigger problem for the future of lifting is the number of bicycle riding instagramers selling caffeine pills and green tea to people who think they can get huge with 8% BF after a 12 week program and quickly get disillusioned with the whole thing and throw it in...

Although I've been into lifting for over a decade now, at a time when the internet hadn't become nearly as big of a deal as it is today (very little social media by comparison, etc), it still amazes me how so many people seem to get into it today. When I got into it, I was simply interested in the lean mass/better physique, significantly increased strength, and general health benefits that natty lifting can provide. Now people first getting into lifting are hyper focusing on the Ronnie Coleman/IFBB bicycle riding side of it way too quickly before they even know what they're doing, or assume they'll look like zyzz/instagram bicyclists with bs supps. Or they get into gear well before they even have a legitimate, practical reason to consider (ie high levels of sports, pro level lifting, etc) doing so.

The problem goes WAY beyond some idiots going over the top with zyzz stuff. It goes back to the 90's at least, when bodybuilding stopped being about attaining a genuinely attractive physique (muscle symmetry, good muscle ratios, etc), and started being about who can be the biggest mass monsters at any costs (Ronnie Coleman, Jay Culter, Phil Heath, etc). I mean, come on, looking like a ninja turtle with the shell for a gut is now the standard for top pro bodybuilding levels, in the name of doing whatever gear it takes to attain that level of sheer mass. That certainly wasn't a problem that had anything to do with zyzz.

If you want to give it a go then try reading and listening to what he said in chronological order. Shortly before he died he was working on clarifying his identity - to show that the arrogance was just a persona, and that his real goal was to motivate others whilst having some fun at no one's expense. If you happen to have time you should check out ' Zyzz The Story Behind', it describes everything.

Cool opinion bro. He inspired me to stop being a chit kunt and now I lift 7 days a week. If he can change peoples lives by making them get off their fat asses and into the gym then that's all that matters and he did it with thousands of people. You can hate on his persona but you can't hate on the impact it had with the non-lifters

I remember when I saw Zyzz's pics and thought "that's it mane, that's what I want to have". Met him IRL when he already left humanity and was was way too freakishly big for my tastes.

But yeah, if you have something against the guy you need to lighten up.
