Thank u

I just started dieting and exercising again after gaining 70 pounds over the last couple years. I'm super lucky that I grew up playing sports so I have the tools and knowledge I need to get myself into shape but it's still super difficult. None of my family eats healthy or exercises regularly so I really sympathize with people who grow up in these unhealthy communities and don't know how to change. Even with all the information on the internet there's a lot of contradicting advice that can lead people to a sort of paralysis by analysis. It's so important to uplift the people around you and motivate them to change through love and empathy instead of guilt and shame. Shaming people into losing weight works for some people but it usually leads to insecure and mentally unhealthy people with body dysmorphia and eating disorders. Encourage people around you to do better but understand that it takes time and often multiple phases of trial and error to find out what works best for that individual.

Not the first one of those actors you showed are natural!!!!!! No argument, just plain factual!!!!!

All you need to know is: Eat a bit more than normal, eating a bit more then normal will get easier and on top of that train hard train till failure and also push the weights farther and farther

Obviously, if it was just the drugs alone, everybody would look like Schwarzenegger. The drugs help but it’s a combination of multiple factors that produces the ideal physique. I just don’t understand why some of these people can’t be honest with their approach. Yes, I’m looking at you Mike!

It should be illegal to film in lockers.... Also if you want to film in the gym go when there is nobody or do it at home... Not everybody want to be film and pur on social medias when they don't even know

Bro is like moon for fitness. Incredible documentary and investigation video

Got it, don't be born with garbage genetics, I'll do better next time.

Only way for natural to be big and strong is by bulking and getting a decent amount of fat, 16%-20%. People stopped listening to athlean-x and greg doucette because they aged, the kids that listened to them they still kids but older, and they have been on this maingaining bullshit for 2,3 years, saw 0 gains and now they start to understand. You will not get stronger, bigger, and maintain your abs, you just wont, and as usuall, the people that say they do never have videos on their channel proving it.

profound video -- thank you very much for sharing!

Honestly female fitness “influencers” are causing more harm than the men💀

Working out 6 hours a day, brown rice chicken breast, lies, lies, lies😂😂

So, has he been taken to court yet? 😳

5:08 / 11:08

I knew this already just by thinking for 4 minutes. Why did someone make a video to state the obvious?

The "gigachad" meme should've been a major sign that something was seriously wrong. It wasn't merely that the image was unrealistic, but that the bone structure and facial proportions weren't even human. Few things were more obvious than the fact that this image was a work of digital art, yet incels were seriously debating whether it was real or created. And the more this "debate" was amplified, so too was the psychological effect on more skeptical people, who began flirting with the possibility that the subhuman image might exist. What's worse, some scientists performed controlled studies on the attractiveness of the image, and the results were that most women found "gigachad" completely unattractive (in other words, gigachad was ironically more like giga-incel). Without trivializing female body issues, most women who suffer from anorexia or bulimia are at least comparing themselves to human supermodels in magazines and billboards (however unrealistic or unhealthy the body weight), not Jessica Rabbit in a cartoon. Men seem to suffer in an even more unrealistic and unnecessary way, yet relatively few are aware of it and certainly the media rarely ever talks about it. Twenty years ago, men wanted to look like Brad Pitt in the movie Troy. Today, they want to be a freak lab experiment in a digital studio. That's deeply concerning.

If you really think about it, all this is exaggerated. Like your AVERAGE gym will never have such bullshit 🗿

Literally best "fitness influencer" on youtube. You are doing important work. Thank you!

Aren't all Josh Brett basically this video

I`ve never seen anyone bigger and leaner than me in real life. I`ve seen bigger, i`ve seen leaner but never both. Like it`s either fat giants or lean kids that are barely 60kg.

I will explain this more eloquently, if actors and influencers got paid for having prolapsed intestines, then they would all get surgery to have prolapsed intestines. Roids alter your brain chemistry and hormones, which is why it would be detrimental for society if everyone took them.

What a mind set. You have to be proud.

Love your videos! Strongly belive watching these helps my mental health to at least be more aware when I'm critiquing myself too hard, and that's what psychologically experts are saying is the first step to improve your mental health!

Honestly, no hate, but getting transformed like that in a year definetely affected his body, he obviously has taken steroids, whatever, but his heart probably gave out because of that and too much work and really fast weight and muscle gain, kind of sad, if he just went slower he probably still would have been there

If yer gonna be this insufferable to make fun of people at the gym then don’t go to the gym and make yer own ar home

I really wish this vid went into how much this affects the queer male community, especially in regards to how the aids epidemic have an effect of fear to chasing fitness goals. If you look healthy you are healthy even if what you do to get that look isn’t healthy. Back then people would workout just to prove to everyone they don’t have aids. Things are different now but I have to say that this is a big reason why queer male fitness goals are its own beast of issues

0:43 hate how people can store that much fat on their arms and shoulders while having lean upper abs. My arms are literally 8% bf and i still have flabby ab fat

Everything this person is saying is TRUE however if the beauty standards of today require a man to be 6ft with mid looks and body or a 5ft with good looks and a great body then that is what I must be. I'm going to say this because I know myself very well and I am selfish I want people to look at me and want to be like me I don't care for the girls specifically I want a girl to say “I want to be with him” and I want a guy to be like “if only I had his body” things like that I do it for that exact reason not for some grand poetic inspiring thing this is my reason

Excellent video. And great ending words from Mike Mentzer...

One aspect of _Toxic Gym Culture_ that exists at my local training facility is groups of 4 or more people who hog the equipment and look at their phones in-between sets. For example, at my gym it can take over an hour for a group of these sh*t heads to get finished using a leg press machine or a seated cable row. These groups of people show each other TikTok videos in-between sets, and their workouts move at a snail's pace. What's even worse, is when these a** holes do _super sets_ using two different pieces of equipment while they're looking at their phones in-between sets. I think that smartphones should be banned in the weight room.

Pizza or salad 💀

The pain of hunger is what makes humans lose wait

Here in the Netherlands this is not a thing at all. Because people are able to behave normally here. Very glad about that. Have never seen a tripod at my gym ever! :)

9:35 I just hope I never have to deal with someone with this mindset…

The funniest thing is that mature women (25+) don't care AT ALL if you have muscles or not as a guy. Only young women do... That does not mean that being fat is okay though. But my wife (27) doesn't give a damn about how muscular I (28) am, even though I do care a lot myself (going gym 6x/week + minimal PED usage).

Lets be real, Dylan Mcknight Most Likely did it( The admission of steroids) for clout.

Plats talking shit about genetics LOL 🤣

NICELY DONE - AGAIN Josh - too much sauce is TRENDing

who even cares its just excess mass on your bones it doesnt make you more physically attractive.

Great content as always !

I stopped following fitness influencers, I only follow a few professional athletes. Influencers do everything to gain engagement, you can’t trust them

Such a refreshment, really found myself in your videos 🙏💪

The fitness industry needs the noble natties and it needs natural hypertrophy

This is why I go to a tiny gym extremely early in the morning.

🇵🇬,z

Dey see me whormone-maximizin, dey hatin

Steroids is a hell of a drug

10:51 wait what Daniel had BEARDS???

Will we not learn the lesson from just one individual like Rich Piana , dead by 49 with so much to live for. Others like, John Meadows again dead by 49 ( Mountain Dog ) probably hastened his death by going extreme? RIP to them, and to those that they have sadly left behind to mourn and pick up the pieces.

Bro litterally looking at that clip with the hulk My head thinks he’s not as big as I thought as a kid wtffff
