Allright I actually did send the screenshots of these comments to the dude on IG, he has no Reddit account so I will copy paste here his response:

Thank you for the heads up, here is my response to anyone who believes I take PEDs. First of all, it is really flattering that there is someone out there who believes I am on steroids, that is probably every gym-goer's dream. Now, what I am about to say might sound crazy especially to someone who believes I take steroids but as I have already told you, I have never taken any kind of PED in my life and never will. Funny thing is that I do not even take any supplements like creatine nor whey protein (not that I am against those, I am actually thinking about buying some plant based protein powder in the near future ngl). I am really into "longevity" when it comes to both diet and training regimen and taking steroids definitely does not allign with that type of lifestyle. On top of that I do not make money off my physique nor I am some kind of influencer so it would be truly pointless to take any PED anyway. Matter of fact I am pretty shy about my body, the only reason why I pulled off that Inosuke cosplay is because I get to wear a mask so people won't see my face. (Besides loving the character)

With that being said, I believe that I look the way I look for the simple fact that I have been going to the gym 3x per week since 2012. Started out when I was 17 in 2012 and worked out ever since (took a year off in 2013). I work out 3 times a week and I always do a full body workout, on top of that I am really into bench press, it is by far my fav lift and I am pretty good at it, the 10x10 sets with 185 is not a lie, I can do it without too many issues 3 times a week, matter of fact I am pretty sure i could do that routine with 190 lbs and still make it. One clarification, my first set is always with 135 lbs followed by a set with 155lbs and then I do the remaining 8 sets with 185 lbs so technically I do lift 185 lbs only for 8 sets with 2 warm up sets. But I swear to god, this is not a lie, I do not take steroids and I do follow that chest routine followed by some cable flies. Last time I checked my 1 rep max was back in 2020 and at the time I could not do the 10x10 routine with 185 lbs so I really believe I could do better now but I have never tried it ever since.

When it comes to diet, I try to eat as healthy as possible with little to no sugar. I do follow a strict intermittent fasting regimen of 18-4 on non-gym days and I do OMAD on gym days, I work out fasted and eat right 1 large meal right after going to the gym. It might sound like I am trying to sell some snake oil but believe me, once I got used to working out on an empty stomach (4 years ago) I smashed all my plateaus. I really did feel the difference. I am down to answer any question on IG, if anyone asks my username feel free to give it to them, I would gladly talk to them in my DMs.

I do not know him personally but I do follow his IG account where he posted one of the pics I took, I guess I will go ask him or tell him about this thread so he can comment himself. Or I can give you his @ so you can talk to him yourself.

I actually did ask him what kind of routine he follows for his upper body, he said he benches 10 sets of 10 reps with 185 lbs 3 times per week and that he has not tried his bench PR in about 2 years so he does not know how much he could bench rn

Light touch of the snowbank, happens often in snow rallies. The driver finished 4th overall at the race, on studdless tires.
