Haha I went to school with Brolin, different year though, weird seeing him here. He started working out in HS but he was kinda just toned, wasn't noticeably buff until after. Also didn't have a beard, which umph, his beard is perfect, turned him more into a man than the muscles for me. I didn't know he was streaming now. We also went to the same gym for several years and I would see him from time to time, he'd take off his shirt to pose occasionally and I'd often try and catch a glimpse. Guy has an amazing set of hair too, was always jealous, and it looks like all the steroids aren't putting so much as a dent in it.
He was definitely nice eye-candy but holy shit was he cringey, It was always REALLY obvious when he was close to a show or deep into his cycle, not just because he would absolutely blow up physique wise in the course of like 3 months but because he would start to train shirtless occasionally, not just posing but sometimes full on work outs- and this wasn't at an underground or influencer gym, it was at In-Shape (chain commercial gym). Don't really know how else to explain it but his entire demeanor would also change, would just get crazy cocky- not really in an attractive way but just really childish look-at-me micro-behaviors, would be really uncomfortable trying to work out next to him, I had 2 of my girl friends just leave the gym once, like ya we get it, you're the most jacked guy here. The nice thing though I will say is that it basically always meant he was gonna have a smoking hot instagram post that day
, so I'd remind myself to check later that day, I still have a couple saved. But ya his confidence would skyrocket when jacked, he looked good and he knew it.
To be fair to him though, I've been watching a few of his streams these past few days and he seems to have really mellowed out quite a bit. He was a pretty nice guy even back then, what little I knew him, didn't seem all that bright though unless the subject was gym related. I had a buddy hire him as a trainer very briefly a long while ago and I remember him telling me he had to basically dumb down his speech and use simpler words so that shit he was saying wouldn't fly past him, he showed me some of their text exchanges and well... oof.
