>tfw early 2010s fitness culture is completely lost
all that remains are these echoes of Zyzz and Rich from zoomers who wouldn't have known what a gym was when either were alive

Yeah because they chose to kill themselves with dangerous bullshit like tren and test instead of using anavar only cycles.
yes and? i'd love if times didnt change but they do. not limited to fitness. it is what it is
Remember to skip squats. They make your legs too big for a balanced physique.
and widen your waist.
Oh great, another thread spamming schizo
He's natty. 3 dozen eggs a day.
But that guy did squats and trained his legs
Still alive in florida and nj i think
Florida seems stuck in the 2010s l
Zyzz was the moronic zoomer of that time. Old misc hated him and his ISTizen followers.
Funny how time changes narratives.
Sam Sulek is the current generation's Zyzz
At least Zyzz looked good, this guy is just a freak. He hit his potential fast, only downhill from here.
It's not about the destination, it's about the journey.
2000s meat heads were chuds. They hated humor, happiness, and any new way of training.
true that and they were jealous but looking back now zyzz was kinda an ass and you can see how they wouldn't want the associations if everyone started acting like him
2000s IST was unironically funny as frick, with actual memes, not a bunch of angry incels b***hing and crying about everything
Finna bust out my old laptop and post 2011-2015 IST memes.
please do
misc circa 2010 loved zyzz. his presence on the board was electric and his videos inspired a generation to be better. the only ones who disliked him were fat fricking neckbeard mods who resented him for the love he received and happiness he spread. in summary you should have a nice day.
what was this zyzz guy all about
you had to live it
We can never go back…
Bros… we can never go back…
an arab immigrant who harassed white women online & in person and constantly lied about his ethnicity
also killed himself roiding
The God
Zyzz, simply shredded, you mad?
always be mirin while listening I wish it could last
*dies of a heart attack at 22*
he did more than 99.99% of fitness gurus do in their lifetime though, probably the most influential fitness figure since schwarzenegger
inspired a generation, he died so others could fly
?
he didn't do anything of the sort, what the devil are you rambling about
noone knew about him other than fitness forum users
those are the only people that matter tho
based moron. You think all those millions of views came from forum users?
you mad brah, you out of touch brah?
yeah u jelly.
He inspired a fair amount of people to try and get fit.
I went to a large public uni in the states, and even normies knew a few zyzz memes.
People srsly underestimate the power of IST. IST has caused a bunch of videos to gain virality. Boxy and Chocolate rain guy is the most infamous example
trolling women, using roids, dying in thailand (might have been ahead of his time on with that one.)
>early 2010s fitness culture
SS and keto?
Sand Black person from Oz on steroids. First case of inexplicable online hero worship by morons without fathers.
He died while high on coke in a Thai sauna in Thailand. Ladyboys may or may not be included. IST believed he was alive even 10 years after. Makes you realize at just how stupid people on here are.
being a reckless moron partying nonstop with stims and using steroids
make IST great again
Frick I miss old IST
Who remembers the ISTopia mega thread of 2013?
pics like this with the bunk beds and shit make me actually miss my freshman dorm room in college (early 00s). it was a mess, but just constant parties, women, doing stupid shit til 3am instead of studying.
can almost smell that weird industrial type of air conditioning smell, too.
i love this one
19 year old here
If you were around zyzz time and lifting weights back then and on IST back then - it means you were old enough to be buying bitcoin for $0.001 to $1 - you should be a billionaire right now, you are a bitcoin billionaire right? Or at least worth 9 figures, right? What about 8 figures?
Did you buy NFT-s zoomer? How many apes in your collection?
29 year old here. I had one (1) bitcoin and sold it for around $750, felt like a king. Whatever I bought with it I can't remember.
Didn't you hear? It was a scam!! Crypto is le bad and useless!
There's not really that much footage/content of zyzz. Todays fitness influencers have tons of vids on their channel and doing interviews and podcasts. They have presence on all platforms and they even do collaborations with other fitness e-celebs. A follower of todays fitness influencers and identities would feel like they know them personally on a parasocial basis.
We really know very little about who zyzz really was.
All we have is a few videos of him dancing like an ecstacy-tard and doing pranks at the mcdonalds drive-thru.
But somehow zyzz has been blown up into this big thing post death with such little content comparatively speaking. Normally, a person with such little content would have been forgotten. Even bodybuilders who were popular ecelebs fitness guys, and subsequently died are quickly forgotten, such as Joesthetics.
Also, when he was alive not that many people even knew about him apart from some forum nerds. He really became famous after he died because some people just spammed the shit out of his pics and the few videos of him dancing like a clown in his bedroom in front of his computer. Probably his brother and friends. Then it snowballed from there.
He's basically mythical. Like with Jesus, all we have to go on is some books written 2000 years ago after he died that collects little scraps of stories about his life, puts it together and then it blows it up into this big religion over time.
He only blew up when he died.
He wasn't well spoken at all, he would have never made it as a podcaster or vlogger
This
Him being an butthole wouldn't fly today either, unless he went full Andrew Tate.
Tbf, zyzz also did a load of surgery, sam hasn't. This would have been zyzz, sans surgery.
It was fun, and I loved the memery and comradeship. I HATE coombait and the nonstop pictures of semi-naked women or porn, to garner attention. I hate how little actual fitness techniques and programmes get discussed, and how everything revolves around the current eceleb drama. You could say it's always been that way, but we didn't have 'scooby versus candito war!!!' Like you do now.
There is no evidence of surgery. No one has provided a clear timeline of when supposed surgery took place and he had the jawline as a kid. He used some makeup.
All that photo comparison shows is the power of lighting and a smile, also he shaped his eyebrows. Whoever smoothed out the lighting intentionally made him look as bad as possible. If you look at his younger pics he looks more like the right than the left. The right is a photoshoot with makeup and perfect studio lighting.
I think he looks the best in left. too juiced on the right, even though he is also insane pumping.
also that dragon tat on his shoulder on the left haha. those used to be so popular
Left one is the most obvious shop. Someone is trying to make him look bad intentionally. You fell for it. Find a real picture with him having that nose.
haters still hating 20 years after his death brah
It's the same picture isn't it?
Zyzz brother literally created a project/campaign to push Zyzz legacy on youtube post death.
While Zyzz was hardly a content creator on youtube. His body transformation was pretty popular on youtube(not his vid btw). He gained some notoriety in Australia for being the World of War Craft player turned chad. Nerd to jock/chad transformations like these were rare back in the days.
Also had a pretty good following on facebook and a meme on IST predeath.
There culture is some guy who does roids and wears a clip on mic...oh and baggy pants but not the 80s 90s baggies gay strsight leg allmost flare baggies.
this is the gayest shit and im happy that fitness culture evolved into
get swole
acquire girlfriend
inpregnate her
ascend to man
BE A PROTECTIVE MASCULINE FATHER
>get swole
>acquire girlfriend
>inpregnate her
>ascend to man
>BE A PROTECTIVE MASCULINE FATHER
This isn’t what modern fitness culture is
However I agree with all of that and it’s what the world should follow
Zyzz was a homosexual and so are you
This is either fricking BDO or Field Day, can anyone confirm? looks like 00's Big Day Out from the stage
*sips* ahh yeah those were the days
