I'm sure you've noticed the misspelling in my website's title, and a few of you have probably wondered why I chose this name. "Strong 'YZZ' the New Skinny" refers to Bodybuilding idol,
Aziz Shavershian, commonly known as "Zyzz". Growing up as the skinny kid, Aziz looked
up to his bodybuilding brother and chose to follow in his footsteps to impress girls.
After becoming more and more passionate about fitness and his image, he made popular
the term "aesthetic", which basically means pleasing to the eyes and is often used to
describe fitness gurus. Unfortunately, after his older brother was busted for illegal anabolic
steroids, people found it all too easy to attribute Zyzz's success to these substances. Zyzz denied using steroids to his grave (literally). Tragically, he passed away at age 22 of a heart attack, which was later determined to be a pre-existing condition. Obviously, it would be convenient to blame
this on misuse of steroids, but there really is no proof to either side of the story.
In just the four years he spent training, Zyzz managed to produce his own supplement line,
become an online superstar, and inspire millions of people around the world- including me.
He showed us all that we can do anything we set our minds to, regardless of how unbelievable
it may seem to others. He really is a huge inspiraion to me, and I'm choosing to pay my
respects by naming my website after him, hoping that each and every one of you
remember how much he has made this a possibility for you.
RIP, Brah.
