Title: Did ZYZZ Bring Back Aesthetics To Bodybuilding?
Post by: Palumboism on December 05, 2018, 03:16:33 PM
ZYZZ seemed to follow Frank Zane's philosophy of aesthetics over size. 
  He definitely had a tight mid section.

The NY Times seems to think so -

I hadn't of him in years till I saw that piece on bodybuilding and toxic masculinity. It's amusing, and worth the watch.

Edit, video inlined -

besides those items - which are common in our little messy world....

he was way ahead of his time with the internet videos - he was on 4chan back in 2009 and then doing youtube in 2010....way before the other "fitness types" were on Youtube or Instagram

if didnt die in 2010... he would have been making a $$$$ since he had a huge following - he could have sold BS fitness programs on IG, youtube and hav millions of followers from the start - he could have made a fortune off fools spending money with online programs.  have some BS supplment line

guys like Bradley Martin make a killing since they were some of the 1st youtubers/IG to cash in big

Zyzz was the inspiration for the current run of fitness youtube / instagram personalities. He was ahead of his time. Would have been interesting to see what he would have accomplished had he not died whilst on vacation in Thailand.  Never know when these predisposed genetic conditions will strike.

he was way ahead of his time and created that genre before anyone would have made money on it.

he would have been a calum or bradley martin type - but more profitable since he was 1st

many of those ppl who were part of "sherdz" made a killing and ran with it. most are not IFBB pros or anything either - just created an amazing brand

He helped to start the douchey movement we see today of Instagram / Jewtube twinks and sluts, with not much muscle, but dying for a 6-pack.

Total loser...

One of Zyzz's things is that he didn't care what people thought of him. In fact, he liked to push the boundaries just to get a reaction by doing things that most people would be too afraid to. It wasn't him all the time but it was a part of him that has arguably become the most popular among fans.

By late 2010 or so, he'd really started to regret becoming so popular. There's a now-deleted post where he states that he's gotten tired of all of the beta's coming up to him and saying "come at me, bro!" or "u mad??" as it's gotten overdone. He was nice to his fans but never really did things for them. He was just living his life. Of course, he enjoyed the spoils of his ever-growing success, which is thanks to his fans.


Hey weirdo, he killed himself with his lifestyle. Stop trying to glorify him. You can keep posting in this shit thread with all of your gimmicks... but you are living in the fucking past.

Looks like ZYZZ also had a congenital heart defect. All genetic. Nothing to do with steroids.

On 5 August 2011, Shavershian suffered a heart attack in a sauna, while on holiday in Pattaya.[28] He was taken to a hospital, where doctors were unable to revive him.[4][19][11] His family and friends placed news of his death on Facebook. His death was confirmed on 9 August 2011 by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).[7] An autopsy revealed a previously undiagnosed congenital heart defect.[7] His family stated he had shown several minor symptoms in the few months leading up to August 2011, including high blood pressure and occasional shortness of breath. He had a family history of heart problems.[7]

I'm not glorifying him - he had good points and bad, as every human does.

He had a great physique. Athletic looking and aesthetic. I wonder if we will ever know how he truly died?  One thing for sure many have died from heart attacks from coke. I don't trust investigations in places like Thailand. I remember when he died the speculation was murder. Never knew how he got away with his sometimes obnoxious behavior but without malice in these third world countries where life is cheap.

I find the face to be creepy and ugly looking. The hair is just stupid looking. His plea for attention and validation is an embarrassment.

He was tall, in contrast to all the usual chemical dwarfs in pro bodybuilding
And his physique looked attainable to many ignorant people

Also, women like his kind of body. Most girls dislike the bloated excessive bodybuilder look
The 300 lbs high dosage guys are popular with gays mainly

Basically I heard it was a bad combo of drugs. Dehydrated from drinking and partying the night before. On tren and orals which pushes up the blood pressure. And on clen to fat burn and speed up metabolism. Add to that lines of coke in the club the night before, combined with alcohol, and a little diuretic to help with the shredded look, and then go sit in a sauna. It’s a terrible combo and very unfortunate.

And if you got heart problems why would you take all these drugs and put more strain on his heart.

Sounds like a recipe for death. Dehydration from drinking with diuretics sitting in a sauna?  Coke and the rest didn't help. Was it worth it?

We are all attention whores to some degree but guys like him won‘t stop for nothing. You take away the muscles and they won‘t leave the house. With the rise of social media we will probably see a lot more cases like this in the future.

Have you seen him before he got the “muscles” he was a scrawny dorky kid, that wasn’t social or popular. After he started doing gear and working out, he changed his whole persona

That’s the reason why a lot of idiots look up to him, they are insecure, getting muscles was a way out for them to be accepted, to attract girls, etc...

Bbing to a lot are a bunch of insecure individuals,  mental illness, nothing new, lose the muscles and they are nothing, hence why some can’t let it go, they have to walk around 300 pounds like Nasser until he was 6 ft under
