I had never heard of this guy until I stumbled upon this thread. I ended up reading some of the stuff out there about him and watching some of his videos, especially at the “other site,” and I have to say I find him pretty entertaining.
The stuff he said to that “7 girl” wasn’t nice, but I will say this: I know I said a lot of stuff to girls back in the day that I wish I could take back. I’m not saying it makes what he did right, just human. I (and I would imagine most people here) have no business judging him based on that one comment alone. Not to mention the fact that, as others have said, he was clearly joking around.
Also thought I’d throw up these two screen caps of the end of that video. This was in the “Credits.”
I don’t get why you are posting pics of my posts lol.
Look at his post history on BB.com. I’ve read a FEW of them and he doesn’t come off as being a douche, IMO. He posts about his cycles etc and doesn’t try to even hide it. Really to me it’s just acting in front of a camera for a his internet persona.

Never met the guy but I could be wrong about him. [/quote]
Ha, sorry, I guess I could have cropped that down. I was showing what he said at the end of the video you posted; about not taking the whole thing seriously.
Look at this way if you look like Zyzz and like going out there would of been no way to avoid haters. What did people want him do dress down? Stay inside? Wear baggy clothes?? If you realise people are going hate might as well have fun with it…

He was a 22 year old kid who created a massive internet following because he had a great physique (nicer than most posters here) and liked to talk about how awesome his life was and all the girls he banged owing to that physique.
He’s getting hated on because he wasn’t big enough for dudes on the internet to consider him impressive by bodybuilding standards.
Good physique? Check.
Sleeps with lots of girls? Check.
Understanding of his strengths? Check.
Willingness to exploit them to make a living? Check.
Makes money doing something he enjoys? Check.
22 year old kid making more money than many grown men? Check.

Yea, he totally sucks. Who’d want all of that.
I’m sorry he passed and sorry for his family.

I came late to this thread, and am not familiar with this guy, but how did he pass away?

How about just typing the answer? Step up your game.

I still fail to see how the 'roids played a role. Is exo test a diuretic or something?
Coke, alcohol, and sauna would be a more likely situation.[/quote]
It seems he was overdoing cheap steroids. One of his friends said this before this happened.[/quote]
So. That would mean possible issues with metal content or maybe sterility of the product, but none of that equals what happened here. Out of “sauna, coke and alcohol”, you can’t skip those potent known killers and put the blame on something that is chemically safer than aspirin as far as any immediate effects.
I mean, I know that is the in thing to do, but hopefully most here think deeper than pop-media-sensationalism.

I understand that, but blaming a substance whose effects are generally related to long term use and organ failure doesn’t even sound like it needs to be mentioned, especially in front of 'SAUNA, COKE, AND ALCOHOL", all of which CAN kill you very quickly depending on the circumstances.
By even adding in “steroids” you just add to the stigma…because you might as well add in Tylenol usage since we KNOW that can lead to internal organ damage.
Steroids are just a hot button topic that mass journalism and ignorance are turning into urban myths as far as actual effects.
It is like the same bullshit with acting like Barry Bond’s head grew because of GH use. Repeat it enough and it becomes “pop-truth”…which is a lie.

I can have an overdose of water or carrots (Vitamin A), so I’m sure an overdose of steroids is possible. I wasn’t in the sauna, I don’t know the official research, but his friend said he was having steroids like candy and also did coke. There may be a fatal mix in all this. Maybe steroids did nothing, it was all the cocaine. Or who knows, that supposed heart disease, but right now, the only thing we have, is his friend talking about taking steroids like candy and a corpse in the sauna.
