Where are the before and after photos of dudes "transformed" by Starting Strength?

I remember Zack too. Rippetoe was doing everything in his power to present the gains as legit muscle mass. It was obvious, except to the brainwashed kids who couldn't see that the emperor has no clothes, that Zach had gotten quite fat.

But even to this day, the army of dudes who have allegedly built gladiator physiques from low bar squats is still undercover.

Why? Because natties will be natties regardless of the exercises or rep schemes they do.

In all honesty, you can get strong as hell if you are willing to sacrifice your outer image (get bulky, watery, fat) BUT that comes with a huge price and creates juxtaposition in the mind . A lot of people join the iron game to improve their image and not  further "destroy" it by adding slabs of useless meat. This is the reason rippetoe is no longer popular and only people who follow him are people who dont care for their image anymore.

I have come to realize that a huge number of people who bulk up to huge amounts of bw usually have a lot of deep phychological issues. Maybe social anxiety, or sexual performance anxiety. They bulk to such bw so as to become intimidating and deter women . A lot of times if you ask them if they are dating a woman their usual reply is "nah, i am training 7 days a week for at least 2 hours, i have competition coming up"
While whats really happening is that they themselves dont know how to talk to women or be a man . And this creates a vicious never ending circle until someone pulls them out of this circle or if they realize it themselves (both very unlikely to happen )

After all, no normal human being likes to be 100kg+ pure fat... These people have the same mentality of a very fat chick/dude who eats a shitload of food but expects others to like them for their "deep personality". Lets face it, humans are image driven animals. A bad image makes the mind think that the person you are looking at is unhealthy thus an unsuitable mate. Other animals use pheromones and smells to detect unhealthy mates, humans have their eyes and mind. Its not bad, its just nature and the way it is. No matter how hard we try change that, its deeply coded in our DNA...
