Gym Culture Got Weird | Steroids, Body Dysmorphia & Men’s Mental Health - Ep. 11

In Episode 11, I sit down with Arsh to talk about the real side of fitness—confidence, body image, and what men don’t always say out loud.Arsh shares how bullying and insecurity shaped him early on, how he spiraled into extreme weight-loss habits, and why the gym became the one place he could shut his brain off and rebuild himself. From there, we get into the modern gym era: influencers, steroids, unrealistic standards, body dysmorphia, and why gym culture feels way different than it used to.If you’re a guy going through it right now: start with one thing—talk, or at least find a healthy outlet. Don’t carry it alone.In this episode:• Fitness as an escape + building confidence• Body image, extreme dieting, and dysmorphia• Steroids, shortcuts, and “the new norm”• The biggest lie about getting fit: waiting for the “right time”• Consistency vs perfection (10 minutes still counts)• Men’s mental health: talking to someone + having an outlet• Gym culture today: tripods, clout, and ego• Lightning round: pre-workout, carbs vs lifting, gym green flags, and moreConnect with meIG (Personal): https://www.instagram.com/whoskrish/Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/whos_talkin/TikTok: https://www.instagram.com/whos_talkin/GuestArsh Dhindsa —  humbleiron (Personal Trainer)IG: https://www.instagram.com/humbleiron/Personal IG: https://www.instagram.com/arshd93/Send us Fan MailSupport the show
