>>76298278>>76298294for a long time he was just a self-described bodybuilding enthusiast with no ambitions of going pro afaik.
his content is usually high-quality and it seems like he's got a lot of good stuff going on: nice wife, his own company, an academic career with professorships at multiple institutions, active BJJ grappler as a side hobby, a youtube channel with millions of followers, is friends with a lot of interesting people, all the while seems kind of level-headed and humorous.
It's true he juiced and he also talks openly about how it negatively impacted him. He also never got any BB titles. Don't see how that negates any of the other stuff he does, he just has his fingers in a lot of pies. I'd rather have him as a role model than someone who's an extremely successful bodybuilder who has nothing else going on in their lives. then again, I don't care much about BB.
