16-Year-Old Using Steroids To Looksmaxx Says: “If I Have A Heart Attack At 30, I Have A Heart Attack”
For the uninitiated/employed, ‘Looksmaxxing’ refers to a social media trend, involving mostly young men, who will do anything and everything to maximise their physical attractiveness; even taking steroids from the age of 16, by the looks of it.
This 16-year-old named Zayd has gone viral after telling CBS News that he uses the potent steroid Tren (Trenbolone) to “looksmaxx,” stating: “If I have a heart attack at 30, I have a heart attack”.

All that for muscles that don’t work, not to mention the shrunken balls and heart issues that will follow. Sadly it seems that young Zayn has settled on a ‘cross that bridge when I get to it’ approach, or rather, is happy to drop dead at 30 as long as he gets 14 or so years of looksmaxxing in the meantime.
What’s crazy about the lookmaxxing phenomenon is that these lads act like they’re doing it to attract women, but it seems more like they actually want validation from other men. There’s a massive wave of male insecurity that influencers that Clavicular are fueling and feeding from, and teenagers like Zayn are impressionable enough to completely buy into this warped idea of what masculinity is.
The saddest part is that he could achieve his gym goals naturally with just a little bit of patience. It makes zero sense to be on steroids at 16! Hopefully someone talks some sense into this kid before its too late.
