@aquavista2693 I'm subbed to /r/swoleacceptance (this is a really entertaining sub btw!) and there is this post about the thread. One "follower of Brodin" even had this to say:

@volcanoinsurance I'm the same. SS seemed to be a trusted resource at the time, and reading through it gave me confidence to go to the gym by myself. So glad I learned about this so I don't ever recommend any of his stuff.
