The bodybuilding world is competitive, and being healthy is of the utmost importance. There are lots of bodybuilding champions who break stereotypes and myths about health. Greg Doucette is one such bodybuilder who always debunks myths about a healthy physique. Doucette is known for his fitness journey and bodybuilding career of 30 years. He has a world record of deadlifting 9130 kg.

He started his YouTube channel about fitness in 2006 and it has been growing ever since. Recently, he defended a fellow bodybuilder who is only 23 and is doing very well for himself. What happened to the young bodybuilder, that he needed Doucette’s defense? Greg Doucette took a stand for Ahmed Shokry, who is a new bodybuilder and is getting a lot of backlash for his physique. People are blaming him for using steroids to get a ripped figure, and Greg is not happy about that. His YouTube short video is enough to see his opinions about the case.
