The other day I came across this random teen online who decided to get on gear, probably without the permission or knowledge of his parents and keeps posting pictures of him posing with captions such as "getting too big" and "so much power" despite not actually being anything remotely special considering the circumstances, which seem to either indicate a rather low IQ or an ever urging lust for attention, possibly both. He even talked about how more and more zits were appearing on his skin as if it was something meant to be laughed at and spew up asinine remarks like 1 fav = 1 shot of whatever crap he was on as if drug usage is a measly child's play...I very much doubt people like that kid have any clue of the risks involved in regards to taking these substances because all they apparently care about is receiving likes on the internet and getting praise for how great they look to feed their egotistical cravings.
There's probably a whole lot of people, especially highly gullible teens and young adults, in the exact same wavelength as this guy and I have to wonder if social media culture isn't one of the main culprits behind people's willingness to undertake incautious actions just to become more interesting and appealing within a virtual realm of fabricated appearances where everyone wants protagonism.
It's a shame there aren't more people like Scott in the fitness industry, people who actually provide unbiased and truthful information backed up by a legitimate desire to help others learn the right things and not get themselves into something which they might deeply regret later out of not knowing any better. Doing gear without adequate guidance and understanding is such a massive gamble that it truly pains me to see individuals following this route completely oblivious to the inherited dangers involved simply because they want to get jacked as quickly as possible in order to become attention harvesters, likely unaware that those "unnatural" gains won't be sustainable naturally once the enhancing effects expire although it should be pretty obvious nonetheless.
Perhaps the most annoying aspect of this whole endeavour is when these folks act like what they've achieved was none other than a huge feat of preserverance and effort singularly attributed to their amazing work ethic and supposed expertise instead of the anabolic drugs being used, which can give any dilettante dummy who has no idea of how to train and eat properly a decent physique, for as long as they're able to provide the muscles with a good pump every now and then.
And if we're called jealous haters for trying to be reasonable and promote sensible thinking then let's put it this way...what is there to be jealous of someone who's actively toying with their own health and risking a premature death for the sake of non profitable and profusely vain physical displays?
