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

[Waller]

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.

[doggler]

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

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.

[pellius]

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.

Um, OK. Just out of curiosity, how old are you?

Sad when anyone dies needlessly from drug abuse.....no tears shed for this guy tho....not a bodybuilder

[BBSSchlemiel]

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 

[That_Dude]

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.

[illuminati]

Who is this skinny zyitt kid..??
Am I meant to know of him.??

Died at 22.!!! How.

[Lustral]

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 

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.

[Nails]

Fagggots really adored that Zyguy

[Tennisballz]

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.

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

[Rambone]

Zyzz is Dana Linn Bailey with bigger tits. May he rest peacefully in hell

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.

[TheShape.]

No. He's responsible for this whole modern "bro bodybuilding" social media movement.

[PJim]

Like it or not, yes

Truth^^^

[Bevo]

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?

[El Diablo Blanco]

Huh?  All I know is a couple homos on getbig worshipped this guy who OD'd.  Yes very influential

Zyzz is the poster for generation nothingness....fucking douchebag personified...does not even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as any bodybuilding champions...
