Guy Cisternino gives the world a reality check.

The internet is truly a double edged sword. It can be used to connect with people more often and spread new creative projects and ideas. It has helped bodybuilding grow tremendously over the last decade. But it can also be used to show the worst side of human behavior. Mockery, “trolling,” and nasty things can be easily thrown out into the comments section of any website or social media network on a daily basis.

This weekend saw a truly horrific moment when Dallas McCarver collapsed on stage during the Arnold Classic Australia prejudging. It prevented him from competing… and ultimately led to a mix of support and criticism from fans on the internet. Well, Guy Cisternino wanted to clear the air in regards to the negative comments – and remind everyone that while Dallas is a truly massive competitor and bodybuilding star… he is also a human being. And one that suffered a very serious health issue that weekend.
