In the past few months, the deaths of Jo Lindner, Neil Curry, and Justin Vicky?have devastated the communities. Veteran athletes, influencers, and experts have raised the alarm bells, telling people to stay away from harmful practices in the name of building a better physique. Drawing attention to 21-year-old Sam Sulek’s drastic transformation is one example. Yet, some bodybuilders continue to pursue extreme methods to gain more muscle. And another bodybuilder, Illia Golem, is among those on a never-ending quest to gain muscle.?

The 5% Nutrition-sponsored athlete also has seven meals a day.

However, with a 61-inch chest and 25-inch biceps, the bodybuilder is closer to being a mass monster. After seeing the post, the fitness community passed harsh judgment on Golem.
