Written by A growing number of teenage boys are chasing dramatic body transformations online — building massive muscles, shedding fat and documenting it all for millions to see. But behind some of the viral physiques lies a troubling trend: the use of a powerful drug never approved for humans.
A rapid transformation — and a risky choice
At 16 years old, Zaid Laila says he didn’t want to spend years working out to build a body like those he saw online. “Why wait 10 years … when I could do it in less than a year,” he said. The high school student from suburban Dallas began documenting his journey on social media, where his transformation quickly drew attention. His videos show a leaner, more muscular physique — the kind often celebrated across social media platforms. But Laila is open about how he got there: “A lot of steroids and a lot of working out.” He told CBS News he’s been using anabolic steroids for about 10 months, including trenbolone, a powerful drug developed for livestock and never approved for human use.
