Is Zyzz the 2nd Most Influential Person In Bodybuilding/Fitness?

[NickEdge779]

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.

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?

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.

[Thong Maniac]

Interesting fact but i heard zyzz had gyno surgery, which is odd because he never had noticeable gyno in any pics

[Mr Anabolic]

Comparing this f-a-g to Arnold is ludicrous.
