The craziest part is now with social media and YouTube body builders can make a very good living without ever even stepping on stage.

Yup they are more popular than the Pro’s. And the most obvious is the pro videos they do basic movements that work and is bodybuilding. The social media videos have to change it up and make it interesting to get views and keep subscribers always doing stupid stuff because nobody wants to see the same shit over and over. That’s why those followers don’t make progress! Because basics always work!

I remember ordering some supplement drops you placed under your tongue as a teenager thinking they were steroids They were called The Beast or something similar.

Yeah it was called The Beast I tried that one to ha ha who didn’t. There was so many products on the back pages of the magazines I tried a few pro hormones from there before they were available at the supplement stores. And the small adds with websites you could get legit gear. Those were good times look at where we’re at now amazing!

I don’t care what people do to get their name out there and/or make some money on the side. I just don’t care for it to interrupt my workout at the gym. This is why I started a home gym. I simply don’t like to be around a lot of people and especially around phones, phones, phones, constantly recording and looking for likes on social media.
