Eddie was a bodybuilder at a time when there was more perseverance and hard work along with a healthy diet alongside a training regime, rather than the usage of steroids. There were people like Ronnie Coleman and Jay Cutler that youngsters could look up to. Unfortunately, according to him, the young bodybuilders of today do not listen to the advice of the legends.

In the same context, he said, ?It?s all about looking good for a short time and you know what I mean they don?t listen to you.? According to him, youngsters do not even contemplate listening to advice from veterans like Milo Sarcev. Abbew gives an example of how he would have given anything to get advice from the three people sitting with him in that podcast. He reprimanded, ?These kids think they know everything. They do one show, and then the drugs are everywhere.? He also had a grievance with social media and the Internet, because people are being manipulated by fast information that is available on the Internet.
