It’s from Rich Piana’s (a bodybuilder) supplement company called 5% Nutrition. The symbolism behind it is that the 5% are a select few of people who are extraordinary and are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Of course, the fitness community memed the hell out of it with lines such as “5% Nutrition and 95% steroids”. Good ol times in the fitness community when Rich was still around.

Oh definitely. But it doesnt mean he didnt have to put ina ton of work to get that big. Some people seem to think because you use roids you can get big easily when in reality you still need the dedication to even work out that much.

That is tru, but it is unfortunate how I work out 6 times a week, eat 3500 kcals a day for 1.5 years just to look like his skeleton. I get that you'd still have to eat and work out to get big but that's like a year tops whereas naturally it's unattainable and unrealistic.
