When I heard about Scott Murray passing away at only 27 years old due to heart failure, I decided to change up my scheduled content and make this video. Learning of his death and seeing just how many bodybuilders and fitness influencers have died in the last few years alone has been a stark reminder of why I started Minus The Gym in the first place. I could have been Scott Murray. As I explain in this video, my health was headed in the wrong direction when I was 25 years old, and it was due to a childhood of obesity and the fitness lifestyle that's being taught in the mainstream: eat in a caloric surplus, lots of animal protein, lift weights and do your cardio. Trust me, it doesn't work. It doesn't make you healthy. It destroys your arteries. It's only a matter of time. Will it take 10 years like it did for me? 20 years? 30? And steroids only exacerbate the issue. I wasn't taking steroids, and yet the modern fitness lifestyle was killing me quite fast. I hope this video resonates with you and helps you realize that society as a whole needs to change its perspective on fitness altogether. It's not about building yourself up and being "big." It should be about the other facets of fitness: strength, leanness, flexibility, mobility, speed, power, agility, etc. If you're with me on this message, don't forget to subscribe and follow. My mission with this channel is to help people be fit and TRULY HEALTHY - not fit on the outside by dying on the inside.
