Brian Turner is a physique competitor, fitness YouTuber, and owner of the Beyond The Weak clothing brand. He says he is a "9 year natural vegan bodybuilder", but he's only been vegan for a year or two, and made 99% of his gains while not vegan. Still impressive for a natty.
Brian's fake positivity is smothering. As Pewdiepie once discussed, YouTube is under the Tyranny of Positivity. Youtube vloggers act overly-positive all the time and it just REEKS of insecurity and pure fakeness. You are not happy all the time, nobody is. Stop pretending that your life is so dandy so that your core audience of middle-aged soccer moms pops another pill because they think that they have to be like you. Just be a normal dude for once, stop censoring yourself.
Brian exploits his past acne for views. I understand that people who have overcome a particular adversity want to help others who may be going through that adversity. But he's run out of stories to tell. That "Accutane Adventures" series wasn't a bad idea, but now it's been years and he's still running that train. Maybe it's because he seems so disingenuous, but now his acne videos just seem like tailored clickbait.
Brian is (allegedly) a bitch in real life. Simon and Garrett of Massthetics have roasted him in depth about being annoying and fake. BEYOND THE WEAK, BRO. TLDR; They called Brian out on his fakeness, so Brian spanked them. No, really, he did. That's some weird shit, bro (Ripped Bri, anyone?). At a separate expo, a Massthetics fan got bullied by Brian, who apparently waited outside an airport bathroom and kept asking them, "Do you feel big?" for wearing Massthetics-branded clothes. This story is just weird enough for me to believe it. The "Do you feel big?" is totally something Brian would say. I only say "allegedly" because it's one side of a story... but it sounds plausible.
Brian sells poor quality clothes for a premium. He has to make a buck somehow, I get that. I'm not knocking his hustle. But his clothes look unbelievably thin and flimsy for the price he's asking. Not only that, but they're the kinds of colors that will get you sweat stains supa quick unless you get your armpits surgically removed. Take a hint from gumah and actually put a little bit of effort into making your clothes wearable.
Brian's brand "Beyond the Weak" is beyond corny and cringey. Most fitness YouTuber clothing brands are cringey, but this sets a new low. And when you got brand names like Alphalete and Ever Forward, that's saying something. "Beyond the Weak" is just nauseating, and the idea that a normal bro would wear a shirt that says that dumb slogan is Beyond the Imaginable.
Look, if Brian makes a shirt that says "Do you feel big?" , I'd buy something from him in a heartbeat. Even if he printed it on that tissue paper that he calls a shirt.
