Not completely defending Zyzz, but, he wasn't just some illiterate faggot that just started body building. He was actually a smart talented guy. He received DUX from his school (forgot the name, some christian school) and received high 80s in his ATAR. Also a major english freak, did ext 2 english. From past pics, you can see him to be a normal skinny guy. He was a huge gamer as well as an internet nerd (Like us!) that pretty much trolled most of the time for the lulz.
I think people admire him most for having the determination to completely reform himself from a 'nerd' to THAT. For his bodybuilding part, I acknowledge his commitment to completely change his physical appearance and obtain godly aesthetics over the period of a few years... but... his change of lifestyle to partying all day err'day (although he did continue to go to uni) and introducing bodybuilding to normal faggots made me acknowledge him less lol. It's so hard to avoid the damn wannabes! -.-
edit: writing this half asleep, might not make sense lol.
