SHNEAKO - Looksmaxxing is Destroying Children

00:00:00.000 there's a cnn segment about looks maxing it looks like a healthy habit but what's hiding underneath

00:00:04.880 tells a different story 16 year old zaid layla is a high school student from suburban dallas

00:00:10.720 and drawn into a viral trend why wait 10 years for to like reach a physique when i can do it

00:00:16.800 unless in here lila shared this photo from early 2024 when he was 15 years old since then he's

00:00:23.600 documented his transformation how does a 16 year old look like this um a lot of steroids and a lot

00:00:31.220 of working out honestly this is where it could become a problem it's funny that this interviewer

00:00:35.900 is the one doing it he looks like he's on trend does he not they got the most that he is probably

00:00:42.360 on trt oh yeah what that's weird mogging that's so concerning look at my jawline

00:00:50.400 but yes it looks maxing it's important to try to look the best you can but i think that a lot of

00:00:59.440 these peptides are probably going to be more harmful than the vaccine i think a lot of people

00:01:05.340 are going to realize like they're trying to get reddit true tide all this stuff i don't take

00:01:08.720 anything i don't recommend you take anything i don't agree with that stuff yeah try to look

00:01:14.560 good but bro peptides and all this you're saying you are a model scf you do yeah but there's a

00:01:19.880 difference between investing in clothes and trying to look the best in trimming your your beard and

00:01:24.560 then taking peptides my prediction a couple years from now they're going to release all these studies

00:01:29.460 that these peptides are terrible for you steroids so how long have you been on um i'd say about like

00:01:38.040 the last 10 months i was fat ugly like short i'd say which those three things obviously make you 0.95

00:01:46.500 unattractive like male fat ugly and short but you see the priority for a lot of these people 0.94

00:01:51.060 because looks maxing is like do it by any means necessary try to mog no matter what the consequences 0.95

00:01:57.220 are what the downsides are of trt and trend it promotes infertility that's proven a lot people

00:02:05.460 have said that they've been taking trt at a young age and they are literally infertile by the time

00:02:09.380 they're like 19. this is something that dan bezarian's talked about as well he's been taking

00:02:13.680 TRT for a long time he literally recommended on my stream don't take it because you might get

00:02:17.920 become infertile if you want to have kids if you want to be a father put one in the chat if you do

00:02:22.600 you shouldn't take testosterone you shouldn't the risk is extremely high why would you want to 0.88

00:02:29.840 create any sort of risk at having a family when I started taking the steroids all those things

00:02:35.020 like definitely changed like I got more jacked and like better looking honestly I'd say for sure

00:02:40.100 scroll through fitness videos on any social media or video platform and you'll see extreme

00:02:45.960 transformations bigger muscles leaner bodies these are steroids this is like the strongest

00:02:51.460 one you can basically get or take trend isn't a peptide i know it's different i create i set a

00:02:56.480 difference i know red is true tied in this stuff i know it's really popular in new york obviously 0.57

00:02:59.680 i know that i didn't even say that it was the same thing oh retard your trends on peptide i 0.69

00:03:04.320 didn't say it was stupid peptides are really popular in new york right now uh and just like 0.95

00:03:09.860 vaping and all these new developments recently a year or two later they say how harmful it really 0.97

00:03:15.440 is for so long they thought that vaping was the correct alternative to smoking cigarettes turns

00:03:20.240 out it wasn't they said vaccine was safe and necessary and could save your dying grandma

00:03:25.080 turns out that was false too and there's seven different types of cancer linked to mrna vaccines

00:03:30.120 one of the most toxic yeah one of the most toxic that you are injecting into your body every single

00:03:35.140 day yeah i mean they use it on cows trend short for trend balloon is a powerful anabolic steroid

00:03:41.160 developed for livestock not humans and as a classified schedule three drug making the

00:03:46.440 possession or distribution without a prescription illegal people in the chat was like peptides are

00:03:50.880 fine but a year ago people weren't even defending it that hard i'm seeing that people are out of

00:03:55.740 nowhere like yeah you're a bot how do you know that these are brand new this has not been

00:04:02.780 severely tested stop crying are you got bro how many people on peptides are in the chat

00:04:08.640 there's some holy crap that was quick where did you learn how to do this i watched like a few

00:04:18.720 videos honestly what do your parents think about the fact that you're on steroids my dad isn't too 0.95

00:04:25.040 supportive of it and he was very like like what are you doing to yourself like you're gonna hurt

00:04:29.620 yourself he's just like worried for me I explained to him everything told him like hey like I'm doing

00:04:35.580 this regardless basically even if you tell me not to do it I'm still gonna do it so if I'm gonna do

00:04:41.780 it I'm gonna do it like in the safest way possible I just want you to know that I mean like I look

00:04:46.340 healthy I am healthy I can show my blood work Lila told CBS News he blocked his parents from

00:04:51.980 his social media. They learned of his steroid use after a family member saw a video and informed

00:04:56.800 them. Lila's father declined an on-camera interview, but told us he's deeply concerned

00:05:01.520 about his son and overwhelmed by the misinformation side uses to justify his steroid use.

00:05:21.980 the trend syringe and he has one like it's a cigarette possible if i have a heart attack at

00:05:26.440 30 i have a heart attack dr jason if i have a heart attack at 30 i have a heart attack so

00:05:31.060 the youth they're willing to trade their life to mog to looks max because they don't want to be fat

00:05:37.580 and ugly and what's the purpose yes it's important to look the best you can it's going to create new

00:05:41.980 opportunities for you but ultimately guys like this are doing it to try to get girls and not 0.67

00:05:46.220 even to try to find a wife to try to have casual sex that's the goal for so many god is a professor

00:05:52.720 of pediatrics at the university of california san francisco specializing in male teenage health

00:05:58.260 anabolic that's not a trend syringe that's a peptide syringe why do you know that why do you

00:06:04.320 know that steroids in general can have really significant consequences to your heart liver and

00:06:11.680 kidneys, and Trenbolone, because it's so powerful, has even more significant side effects. There is

00:06:18.140 no human safe indication for this animal drug. There are many young people now who aren't

00:06:23.640 actually participating in any types of sports who are using these drugs only for the purposes of

00:06:28.960 looking better. Someone in the chat said, because I'm on roids, are you proud of that? Like why are

00:06:34.540 you, how old are you? Lutheran mogs. So two weeks ago, last time we chatted, saying Lutheran mogs, 1.00

00:06:40.820 you could take hcg peptides or cope just hop on 500 tests how old are you bro why are you doing 0.98

00:06:48.500 that why would you ruin your hormones this early in life and you keep laughing and saying the

00:06:55.860 vaccine is linked to seven different types of cancer i'll show you migrated from the realm of

00:06:59.480 athletics into aesthetics yep i think it's relatively less recognized that actually with

00:07:07.240 more social media there have been really extreme pressures yeah for boys to build muscle your

00:07:13.140 social media feed at this point obviously uh gym influencers the top ones right now do you think

00:07:18.500 you would have gotten on steroids without social media um no definitely seeing like people do it

00:07:25.860 is like what makes you want to do it for sure it's not hard to get no it's not at all look at

00:07:31.820 that i mean recently i remember covering this on stream last month examining potential cancer

00:07:36.720 risk after mrna vaccination and the news report was showing that the probability that it's linked

00:07:44.120 to seven different types of cancer are now accepted by medical experts it's not a conspiracy

00:07:49.080 anyone can get their hands on it if you just try

00:07:52.080 adam yamaguchi joins us now good morning peptides are different i know that like how are you guys 0.68

00:07:59.200 this dumb i am saying i'm making comparison to how quickly people trusted the vaccine

00:08:05.160 and how quickly people are trusting peptides right now this is new this is brand new this 0.93

00:08:12.940 did not exist 10 years ago five this was not as popular as it once as it was not that long ago

00:08:18.380 my point is don't immediately trust this stuff and think oh it's fine it's safe we have yet to

00:08:23.560 find out the full consequences of it you know nothing about this yeah i don't take peptides

00:08:27.920 my point is don't blindly put stuff into your body that you can get naturally you can boost

00:08:33.840 your testosterone by eating the proper foods you can get a tan by going in the sun people are like

00:08:39.360 get a peptide like if you want to get tan i remember they're saying take this uh this tanning

00:08:44.740 peptide why don't you just get some sun and now the redditrutide is that there's a peptide for

00:08:50.480 that people are taking for weight loss you could see it from all these hollywood actresses they 0.79

00:08:54.640 have this weird strain in their neck you could tell when somebody is taking ozempic you could 0.70

00:09:00.560 tell when somebody is clearly manipulating their bodies and not doing it naturally just eat less

00:09:06.760 and work out your caloric intake is not correct but instead of fixing they want to take the fast

00:09:12.520 route i'm saying it's probably better to do it the natural way that it is artificially

00:09:18.580 adam so where is he getting this stuff from it's all happening online so he first was approached

00:09:28.900 by a dealer at the gym but then he he got on the cycle and this thing is on trend like what are we

00:09:34.980 doing here he's got a guy on whatsapp he showed us this guy's account showed us a whole list of

00:09:40.420 all sorts of banned substances the trend balloon testosterone all manner of peptides research

00:09:46.520 peptides for for use in animals only this guy is in china these chemicals come straight from china

00:09:53.220 And he says that it's cheaper than the T-shirt that he was wearing.

00:09:57.000 Wow.

00:09:57.860 I mean, this feels to me like a version of body dysmorphia where perceived flaws.

00:10:03.160 Why does this look like black me? 0.64

00:10:05.040 Like bald black me? 1.00

00:10:07.080 This looks like Asian Obama. 0.94

00:10:09.440 In this young man's mind have dominated his self-image regardless of the reality. 0.88

00:10:15.840 And it also, this looks-maxing thing subsumes the things that really matter in life,

00:10:21.640 like character and integrity and kindness,

00:10:23.800 the things that will carry you throughout the course of your life.

00:10:25.980 So where are the parents in all of this?

00:10:28.100 Well, the parents are aware, but as we all know,

00:10:30.840 parents have a difficult time tracking social media use.

00:10:34.440 He's got a phone. He's on social media all the time.

00:10:37.360 And so whether it's YouTube or TikTok or any other social media platform,

00:10:40.800 that's where he's getting his messaging from.

00:10:42.560 We talked to his dad, who's very disturbed by all this.

00:10:45.640 He's very concerned about his son's health.

00:10:47.180 But he says, look, I'm kind of helpless because my child spent so much time on social media.

00:10:53.080 He's sort of under the under the spell of social media influencers.

00:10:57.280 Who pays for his internet account, who pays for internet, who pays to allow him to access the internet, who pays for his phone.

00:11:03.000 I mean, when I was a kid, I know we didn't grow up with the internet.

00:11:05.220 I understand that. But my parents were, they knew, I mean, I don't know how they switch track.

00:11:10.740 Who here is on peptides? This is crazy. This is like, this is insane how quickly it changed.

00:11:16.780 There's a lot of peptide defenders in here.

00:11:21.080 They're all meat.

00:11:28.680 Kids can create a disconnect between what they do online and their parents.

00:11:34.540 What other types of looks maxing are young men doing that are dangerous?

00:11:39.360 One prominent thing that young men are doing is it's called bone smashing.

00:11:43.660 They'll take a hammer or some sort of blunt object to their face, to their cheekbones, just hammer, try to create some bone fractures in the hopes that that will help reshape their face into something that looks a little bit more masculine.

00:11:59.680 Adam, you know, I talked to you last time because I often compliment you on how in shape you are.

00:12:05.640 And you talk about your diet and how much you work out.

00:12:08.140 What was it like sitting down with him, looking at a young man who was clearly doing...

00:12:12.300 Nick has a lot of low IQ fans don't pay attention to comments.

00:12:16.220 I'm a big supporter of both.

00:12:19.900 Yeah.

00:12:20.580 Something that is detrimental, not just to his body, but to his mind.

00:12:24.780 And like Vlad is saying, to maybe his character as he gets older,

00:12:28.400 coming from someone, as you do, working out all the time the right way.

00:12:33.980 Yeah, you know what was interesting?

00:12:35.080 When I talk to him about my workout regimen, I've been doing this for a lot longer than I'd like to admit, longer than he's been alive.

00:12:42.900 Right.

00:12:43.420 But he sort of took pride in the fact that I've only been lifting for a year.

00:12:47.520 It's a shortcut.

00:12:48.360 It's a shortcut.

00:12:49.620 Yeah.

00:12:50.260 And that, I think, is important to understand why Gen Z is flocking to this.

00:12:55.740 You can transform overnight.

00:12:58.560 Not everything that glitters is gold, man.

00:13:01.420 Not every shortcut is worth it.

00:13:03.560 It's not worth it.

00:13:04.300 All right.

00:13:04.660 um adam yamaguchi thank you so much and you'll be back let's not ignore these issues i saw

00:13:09.980 rampage jackson was telling some streamers about this get the rhinos prescribed

00:13:14.380 rampage is on dick pills i mean he's up at that yeah it is the problem of having a short 0.89

00:13:22.520 attention span gen z and gen alpha we got tiktok brain so we want to take the easy route the fast 0.98

00:13:28.780 route don't see life as something that's a marathon but see it as a sprint that way you

00:13:51.920 They're saying they have libido issues

00:13:53.920 for taking too many of these

00:13:55.920 for taking too many of these pills.

00:13:57.920 And I saw even Rampage, who said he's been on Sarah's

00:13:59.920 before. 1.00

00:14:54.880 that's retarded that is literally like the definition of valuing worldly validation 0.92

00:15:00.180 rather than something long-term sacrificing having a family to mog in a club that's not 0.86

00:15:06.780 that's not going to be a you're gonna you're gonna a lot of people will regret that i can

00:15:13.820 understand like if you don't want to have a family and stuff and you know like maybe you're trying to
