why is jason blaha a "thing"?

[WannaBePro]

again- I don't want to lose sight of the original question----why?

why did he become popular to begin with?

-all his advice isn't ground breaking and is just basic "copy/paste" stuff that anyone can google
-he ISN'T charismatic at all
-he looks like shit so he can't use the "Do what I do and you'll look like me" gimmick that a "body guy" could do
-his production is absolute shit


HOW AND WHY did this nerd make money giving advice on fitness?

I blame the gullible teenagers who make up the bb.com forums because bless there hearts they are teenagers and all teenagers are guilble in this game


and it's kinda like how all of us over the age of 35 fell for the David Dearth (sp) "Mega Mass 5000" before and after ads in the old weider mags

IMO when he first started up he was a "breath of fresh air." He didn't peddle product, he cited studies, he claimed to have worked with athletes and help them pass drug tests, and he doesn't look like the typical youtube fitness douchebag (kinobody, chris jones, christian guzman, etc...). That's what gave him credibility, I think. But over time people picked up on his bullshit and started calling him out on it. Now he's just a joke. He makes videos, people rip on him in the comments and dislike his videos. But because he's established such a large fan base, he's still getting tons of views, even if people who watch it (myself included) are only there for the comedic/troll value.

I honestly don't even give a shit about lifting........however, I'm WAY into crossfit type workouts

EDIT: I don't "meal prep".....I eat clean...I usually only just have breakfast and dinner because that's all I really need...I don't need 6 meals a day....clean snacks in between if my body is hungry ......mandatory "free meal" on Monday nights(I don't use the phrase "Cheat meal" because by doing that you give a unwarranted, negative connotation to certain foods which is a very bad thing to do)....sometimes I'll have a second free meal during the week as well if my body tells me but it rarely happens


I still look okay but my physique doesn't rule my life like it used to....the sad thing is I got rid of the "physique albatross" so now I actually have to get a real life with something fullfilling

getting life with something truly fulfilling is difficult. i look like nothing i did few years ago and the insecurities i hid under my tanned skin and muscles are back in surface and i'm tirred of starting my life from scratch at almost 30 years old. i have no idea what i want to do. i used to look so good that even if i was high out of my mind and drunk in the middle of the day at the same time with mediocre clothes on, i still looked good and people didn't look at me strange. now people don't even look at me strange lol
