I would say Arnold is obviously more influential, but I can't think of anyone that has had the same influence besides Zyzz has had on pushing the whole fitness crusade.
Zyzz basically created the push for the return to "Aesthetics" and the creation of Men's Physique category that has increased participation at bbing shows by a ton.
Look at any Zyzz video and how many people he inspired to workout. Can even Phil Heath say he has had the same effect?
Zyzz basically created an entire culture in eastern Australia centered around health, fitness, and getting shredded for musical festivals. The only other person that is a cultural icon relating to bodybuilding is Arnold.
I know Zyzz gets a lot of hate, but he really did affect bodybuilding in a lot of ways.
-
You use the words "health" and "fitness", but I'm not sure you really know what they mean.
Zyzz died in a sauna with a multitude of narcotics in his system. He was a heavy user of AAS and many of his disciples are as well. Just because you lift weights and eat to get shredded does not mean you are into "health" or "fitness".
-
He was the first of the social media "stars". Im not sure how many people he inspired to join the gym, but Im certain its less than the Rock or Vin Diesel (or insert any in shape celebrity here). Zyzz is more of a legend among those who knew of him, is he still influencing multiple new people since his death?
Mens physique was created because of Zyzz, did he ever compete? He was an expert of generation selfie and photo shop.
MD nailed it with his post though.

The only thing this fucking zzyyz fag influenced is to turn bodybuilding even more openly gay than it already was

The only way he affected it is if you were born after 2002.

Zyzz personally demonstrated the importance and the necessity of cardio for bodybuilders.

Bodybuilders were big and ripped more than zzxyyzzzzyaooo and no "cardio" was necessary before he was even a thought in his daddy's pants.

Before Zyzz people were talking about Ulisses Jr.
And no, Zyzz is not the reason why the Men's Physique was created. You give the man too much credit.
All you have to do is say that Zyzz inspired you, and leave it at that.

Galeniko is nr2
-
I don't know, I remember a couple of guys name Ben and Joe Weider that had some interest in bodybuilding.
Was Zyyz even a bodybuilder? I mean, other than the twinks on bbing.com was there ever competitive bber that aspired to look like Zyyz or were influence or inspired by him?

It's pronounced jizz.
HTH.
No homo.
It's a major part of bodybuilding.

Well, it sure aint Jason Blahahaha

LOL. To the OP, your hero is dead and was no even close to being a bodybuilder let alone a physique competitor.
It's time to move along.

He was only 22? when he died. He had a great physique, great structure, ripped as well. Yes sure there are some guys his age who look bigger, not too many at his height.
I remember on the Aussie Anabolex forum posters were laughing when he died and knocking him. Then a few weeks later Luke Wood died and they were all crying. I didn't think Zyzz was any less a bodybuilder than Wood. Both took a lot of shit regardless and had no regard to the damage they could do vs how they were looking.

Well Wood was a professional bodybuilder by trade, how often did Zyzz compete?
He had a good build.
-
Interesting fact but i heard zyzz had gyno surgery, which is odd because he never had noticeable gyno in any pics
-
Comparing this f-a-g to Arnold is ludicrous.
-
I'd bet Van Damme, Sly or Bruce Lee have inspired more people than Alphabet Boy.
-
Stupid thread...never even heard of this dead crack head except on GB.
-

You contradict yourself.
How is that a fact when you heard it from someone ? ??? Then you say you never saw gyno on his pics. ???
-
Fame is fickle in this business, and he can't pitch his brand anymore. I bet Kali Muscle, The Hodges, Vegan Gains, CT Fletcher, etc.... are all close to him by now in popularity with the younger generation.

Sad when anyone dies needlessly from drug abuse.....no tears shed for this guy tho....not a bodybuilder
-
Did he do anything much more productive than staring at himself, take pictures, go to a gym, tan, take drugs, and dance?
-
Is this getbig or am I drinking again and mistakenly logged into bb.com :(
-
Zyzz had the ultimate pussy pulling physique. Regardless of what he looked like in comparison to bodybuilders (which he never claimed to be). Zyzz inspired a generation in the sense that he popularized the notion one should lift weights to be aesthetic not a bloated sac of shit perma bulker. He died for us bitches, show some respect.
-
Who is this skinny zyitt kid..??
Am I meant to know of him.??
Died at 22.!!! How.
-
Bodybuilders were big and ripped more than zzxyyzzzzyaooo and no "cardio" was necessary before he was even a thought in his daddy's pants.
That was a joke - he showed how bodybuilders needed cardio... died of a heart attack... get it ;D
The biggest way I see his influence is I can't search ebay for fucking gym shorts without that stupid name being attached to any pair of shorts that go above the knee. Fuck him, fuck his stupid haircut and fuck his now long decomposed corpse.

Fagggots really adored that Zyguy

all I get from this shitty post is that 1 - you must be under 25 years old, and 2 - you're fucking retarded.

Clearly not talking about competiting i'm talking about their physique. You're comparing a pic of a 21YO vs Wood in his 30's too. Wood was bigger at 21 but Zyzz is still clearly a bodybuilder and getting knocked by guys just because of how he was famous was pretty weak especially laughing because he died.
-
No. He's responsible for this whole modern "bro bodybuilding" social media movement.
-
Like it or not, yes

U can really tell the age group of people when they talk about this zyzz guy haha
i had no idea who this guy was until someone posted he died on here a few years back

Seriously? having abs, 12" arms and taking tren does not make one a bber.....not denying Zyzz had a conditioned physique....but a bodybuilder? Cmon man...

Your claim was not so much that zyzz was a bber but that he was "just as much a bber as Luke".
There is clearly no comparison.
Now if you could answer my question, how old are you and how long have you been a member of bodybuilding.com?
-
Huh? All I know is a couple homos on getbig worshipped this guy who OD'd. Yes very influential ::)

Sorry but Zyzz was a Drug and Steroid abuser. He did bodybuilding only that he can pose like a fool at every party. This guy had clearly nothing to do with health neather is he a rolemodel. If you believe he did change bb then you are a No-Brainer. ::)
-
LOL!
But I was heavily involved in the afterhour/rave scene when Zzzzz was "big", never heard anyone here, not once talk about that guy.
-
i only heard about him years after he died, i never visited that homosexual site bodybuilding.com
-
Christ I looked better than him at age 57 and I`ll look better than him at 61 in my next contest.

Zyzz went to parties and had a good time. Most people imagine pro "bodybuilders" at parties end up like Robert Burneika in the infamous pool party video.
All of it just plays into the idea that young, semi-normal men/boys do not want to look like IFBB pro's. I don't know much if anything about Zyzz, but apparently he was a voice for living an actually-desirable lifestyle that also incorporated weight-training.

Zyzz had to take steroids to get to where he was, and to go to parties, to be popular. His who image was found in a bottle and a syringe.
There ar people who go to parties and be popular without that. It's called "personality".

Arnold Schwarzenegger
Bruce Lee
The Rock
Jason Statham
Lou Ferrigno
Sylvester Stallone
All 1000x more influential.

Now u have that homo Jeff Seid emulating him oh brother

Good point. The Rock, HHH and even obscure randoms in WWF like Paul Romo were influential to bbers. Look up Paul Romo if don't know. He could've done damage in a show.

Desirable lifestyle? He was a cokehead, and popped ecstasy like tic tacs at raves and festivals, all the while knowing he had a heart condition. That desirable lifestyle got him a long way. It's not surprising that the morons from his generation looked up to him though. They can't possibly think for themselves.

When you're a teenage boy and you see Burneika and you see Zyzz, the choice is clear.
By the time you've graduated college, hopefully you've moved beyond both.

Beat me to it.
That has to be one of the most moronic statements ever made.
I swear, these guys has to be teenagers. Even men stuck in arrested development are not this immature and short sighted.
Zyyz, and his fans and minions, are what gh15 referred to when he coined the term, "Generation Nothingness".
This is why we have the culture that we have today.
It sucks being old but I am grateful as hell that I grew up in the era that I did. I would feel sorry for the kids today but at this point I really don't care. They deserve what's coming to them and what has come to them.
And that includes Zyyz.

So you don't distinguish between technology and culture/values?
Quick, without looking it up. Who are the faces featured on Mount Rushmore? What decade did the Civil War/War Between the States take place? Name the five Founding Fathers?
Exactly.
The level of endemic ignorance with people today is just breathtaking.
Quick: what is the difference between endemic, pandemic and epidemic?
Exactly.
Keep worshiping people like Zyyz. It suits you. And stay home glued to your cell phone on election day.

I just realize that you are the same moron that claimed that Zyyz was "just as much" a bodybuilder as Luke Wood.

And why are you avoiding my question? How old are you?

I like to bitch about younger people (I'm 31), and I do, it is my right as I see young women (20-23) become "inappropriate" for me to look at ;D but I will say this... they (teens onwards) have a shitload more to deal with due to social technology (and maybe porn, I don't know, a shitty .jpg from ampland did for me at 15, or the thought of doing my Irish teacher up the ass).
Zyzz is the lazy man's good physique. You don't need to eat much or train much, you can party all the time, just take juice and coke and pretend being 165lbs is a muscular physique.

Don't beat on me for misremembering the surname of an 80s/early 90s no name wrestler (@Hench)!
It is Evan Scentofpanties. Actually Evan seems like a decent dude, puts family before dying for us, which is admirable.

From the little I saw of him, I meant desirable in the sense that he had fun and got girls. (You dare protest this does not appeal to 99% of teenage boys?)
To be brutally honest, I have little info on Zyzz other than a lot of people know him, he had better shape than most of us, and he died of drugs.
Now the other side of this is, many of us are drawn or were drawn to the bodybuilding lifestyle, so lets not pretend that because Zyzz did drugs then he was an anomaly. Drugs ARE professional bodybuilding.
-
I liked the guy. He looked great and his videos were entertaining. I'm sure he would have been fun to hang out with.
But LOL @ being the 2nd most influential person in BB/Fitness. He'll just be a footnote in the history of the industry.

I'm not American so how would I know.
I don't worship shit my point in the original post was people hating on him but crying when the same thing happened to another bodybuilder. Zyzz took way too many rec drugs like Coke and Xanax but no need to hate on the guy or laugh that he died. How many guys look better at his age. Luke Wood (by his own admission on here) took way too much Thyroid drugs, 1000x the dose, so standing on a stage in a thong is better than wanting to get ripped for Stereosonic? ;D :D
The world changes for better and worse. You old girls just cry about the good old days when it probably wasn't even that fucking good. You just can't remember the bad bits.

Huge difference between hormones used to improve physical performance and rec drugs. And just because someone has "fun" doing something that in no way means it's a good thing or something to emulated. Drugs and alcohol is a perfect example. It can and does kill people -- like Zyyz.
