+ 3 So that is the norm now of days?
What happen to the good Ole days. I entered the gym back in 1992. It was an experience for sure. We trained hard didnt know what the hell we was doing half the time, but we put the work in. All we had was magazines if you could find them and read how to train and try to learn about supplements. Who remembers Robert Kennedy and his forum topics in muscule mag? Thats's all we had back then. We had gnc to we could walk into and pro hormone glore. Who remembers the biggest some of them back then? Thats right gaspari Nutrition had some of the best ones. Fast foward 20 or so years and its WHAT THE HELL........Everybody wants it all over night taking shit tons of gear and barely training and eating like they should. Social media has killed and or destroyed this generation. Don't get me wrong some had good intentions i believe. Everyone wanting to be tic toc or youtube famous. We have lost a lot of good bodybuilders over the years. They are young and mass monsters, I guess risk versus reward doesn't matter at that time. I followed Dallas MCcarver i really like that kid, now he is gone with alot of others as well. This is not getting out of hand it is out of hand and it gets rewarded. Who is the one kis who turned pro this year? I think he is 19 maybe 20. So waht does that do, open the flood gates for youngsters to jump on board. Gear is much easier to get now of days as well, which is good for responsible people. Remeber when you wohld order had to come from Mexico and maybe and maybe not show up, it all was a gamble. Now of days its crazy. At least I got to see the world before it went to shit. So what's your guys thoughts on this matter ot am I being un realistic or.not seeing something ?

Social media plus the zyzz thingy got everyone and there children on gear now days it’s insane. Peptides will be a gateway drug to aas for soccer moms etc I’m calling it now. Going to have moms that drive mini vans popping anavar lol
There already popping anavar, listen to them talk and see the Adam's apple. lol
I must admit, the Gear abuse is nowhere near as bad as I figured it would be in this new gym I joined 3 months ago. From the looks of things its the minority that are using something - most likely SARM's I would say. The thing I constantly find so shocking is their obvious lack of general training knowledge, choice of exercises and knowing the correct reps/sets/warm up routines that add mass and results. Sure the gym is full of machines of all kinds - But it also has a HUGE free weights room with loads of bench stations, deadlift platforms and squat racks, 2 leg presses etc.
Clearly 95% of these guys are in the there to get big and put on muscle, but you NEVER see any of them doing the exercises that achieve this. Clearly arm day is most days for them lol So its an endless array of single arm tricep cable pushdowns, cable curls etc - I end up just wanting to walk up to them and scream what the Hell are you doing this shit for? Get in the free weights room and progress with dumbells and barbells, stick to the basics, use what works time and time again!!! All they seem to listen to is these Idiots classed as Fitness Influencers rather than just doing extensive reading and research like we all did back in the day. I was an avid reader and subscriber of both FLEX and Musclemag and just gorged on all the info in there for hundreds of hours - I was passionate and wanted to learn more and more, same as I still am now. These kids aren't - they aren't interested in the actual sport itself they just wanna look good for an online picture and thats it.
Ohhh and I saw something new last night - Deadlifts done on a smith machine being pulled from the floor if you can even begin to imagine it.
I actually like doing bent rows on a smith. Something neat about being able to apply backward pressure to help engage my lats. Never tried a full on deadlift, but have tried a Romanian, shit was awkward.
When I saw him loading the plates on I assumed he was going to be doing bent over rows which I can imagine are pretty good on a smith as you can concentrate more on the back contraction than holding it bent over and stabilizing it with your lower back and glutes/hams, but when I saw him doing deadlifts I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
It doesn't really matter at the end of the, it's one of those "you live and you learn" kinds of deals. These kids will figure it all out one day, or not due to Darwinism lmao. I don't have no time for them kids tbh, I'm just trying to get as big as I can get, while simultaneously make more money so I can keep on repeating the process. The food out here isn't cheap no more!!
Haha sending a westy and praying for weeks-months that it showed up with not really any contact with the source.people are so spoiled now, the source that's been around for 10 years scammed me cuz it's been 5 days and I didn't get my shit lol. Well now the whole world is going to shit. And yeah all these idiots on s media just poison all the k1ds minds
Social media has made people fucking retarded. Not just youngsters, alot of people. Dare I say most people. We have all the knowledge and information in the world righ at our fingertips, yet most will take advice of some dipshit on Reddit or Instagram ratehr than use the search bar.
But whatever, only person we can control is ourselves. I still live this the way you described. Train hard as fuck, eat, and "supplement" with gear. I have zero fucks to give about anyone but wifey and myself. They wanna do dumb shit? OK. As long as that dumb shit doesnt endanger me or my family go ahead and 'tard-max.
I agree thata the only way to be bro. Still somebody will still want to fuck with and turn shit around. The they want to start backing up when shit gets real and hits the fan. I understand.
I thought pro hormones didnt come around until like 2000?
I remember taking some and busting nuts in my pants all day and no longer able to get a boner.
But when id piss id literally just start busting nut...
You mean those good ol days??
LG Science stuff in the 2010s was the shit LOL. I was all kinds of fucked up in Iraq
Hahaha
Yea, something like that.
One of my highschool buddies got on some from gnc and started milking thru all his shirts at school. Was hilarious.
Wait.... you mean I have to workout on this shit? Fuckin gyp.
No not at all.
