Lindner posted his final Instagram message on Friday. In it, he used his own experience to seemingly caution people about using steroids.
Lindner wrote:
When I lost my gains because I went off everything for 1 year but then could not recover my own test[osterone] levels so went back on trt [testosterone replacement therapy]. Trust me I tried to stop but be aware it might have long term effects for your life. Trt is a big commitment keep that in mind.
Along with this message, Lindner included multiple photographs demonstrating the differences in his body.
Lindner continued:
Last pic Show lot of size differences like – swole and not swole u can see at chest etc all slim down even my waist is smaller back then. To be aware the comparison is left no pump and right – natty pic is full pump. Otherwise it’s even more haha. Also my stomach now due to my hernia surgery now it’s a new hernia there and it makes my stomach bigger. Overall this post should show that even as a natural u can look amazing and y just need to get in shape!!
