Well done 👏 for being so honest and perhaps helping others think twice before jumping into things they don’t really understand what is happening!! Keep up the good work and great content. 🎉 new sub here
Appreciate your honesty about this. I wish more people were honest about it. I have seen so many fitness influencers that YOU KNOW are on gear and won't say anything lol.
No problem! So it helps to control insulin resistance meaning we can take in more carbs :) it’s a drug given to diabetics in a medical setting. also it helps with inflammation and free fat acid oxidation. So overall better recovery and body composition outcomes :)
It's been shown to inhibit the benefits of exercise btw. It slows down the electron transport chain also. That's actually how it works. Pub Med: Metformin blunts hypertrophy in response to progressive resistance training in older adults.
Steroids on the long run is unhealthy for the body. I think peole also need to exept their genetic markers aswell, not everyone can be super ripped, or build muscles fast on a natural bases ( i am speaking more for men but women also). I notice alot men who have been going to gym for years and dont gain the muslce mass they hoped. Then you have that 1 or 2 guys who just went going to gym and in a 1 year are more muscled up, atheltic frame etc. Its genetics, diet, body recovery process wich is unique to each person.
No- the vast majority of guys gaining muscle fast are taking drugs. Gaining 10, 15, kg of muscle in months is just not possible without drugs. People are looking at guys like this, doing all the diet and training right, and being lured into taking the drugs to look like those guys, who claim to be doing it naturally- but are lying. Professional bodybuilders are all either quitting or dying- like any other drug addicts- those are the only two possible outcomes. It’s insane- handing people trophies and titles and sponsorship deals because “you are better at abusing drugs than all the other drug abusers here today”. You think the people making the big money out of this industry care about the “sausages” in this “meat tube” factory? You are disposable- you die from heart or liver disease and another idiotic meat sack steps right into your thong.
not for males. Testosterone is a male sex hormone. We men need it in good levels to feel good. Too high obviously not good. But TRT or slightly higher is not dangerous for a male.
If you work very hard and are on point with your diet and sleep you will be able to be stronger and more fit than 50% of people one peds in your weight class. I think you made the right decision....
It's male hormones at the end of the day. So unless you are prepared to slowly transition to a man, don't do it. And yes even the mild ones (anavar) has androgenic effects, albeit effects shows much slower.
Yes you can and I will when I am done with competing. sadly yes certain side effects are permanent. The voice for me and for some women they will go as far as jawline changes which will stay...
Technically speaking it’s hard to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time as you need to be in a calorie surplus to gain muscle but you can do that first and then diet down to reveal the muscle 💪🏼
@@EmilyBagshaw Ah oke thank very you. Yea at the moment i trying to lose fat mass and build muscle at the same time which is on steady progress, but hard to balance. But as you said i think i wil first focus on building strong mucles and then focus later on losing fat via cardio and diet. I saw in one of your older videos how you where very lean with very low fat %. Thank you for you reply aswell.
@@onlineonlineaccount2368 yea this was for a comp prep, so I did the building phase first then went into a deficit with lower kcals and cardio 🙂 you can do the same! and if you ever need any help with it all, just ask! 😀
For me, anything that poses a threat to my health....is a no! I m obsessed with fitness and I've lost count of the pods I ve watched where bodybuilders die due to steroids.
Most people have a low s3x drive for a reason. Medical, mental, not feeling loved or made to feel appreciated/special. Like are you actually romancing your partner or just expecting your needs to be met? Do they have health issues that need to be addressed? A low s3x drive is not normal in a healthy relationship.

Appreciate your honesty about this. I wish more people were honest about it. I have seen so many fitness influencers that YOU KNOW are on gear and won't say anything lol.
Yes defo it can be so frustrating when you wish they would just say😆
Thank you so much for being so transparent and thoughtful 😊 May I ask what metformin tends to help assisted athletes with?
No problem! So it helps to control insulin resistance meaning we can take in more carbs :) it’s a drug given to diabetics in a medical setting. also it helps with inflammation and free fat acid oxidation. So overall better recovery and body composition outcomes :)
@ Wow, that’s amazing it can help with all of that! Thanks so much for explaining and best of luck in your training! ☺️
No problem! Thank you 🙏🏻

The extensive list of benefits are why it’s in popular use among bodybuilders

Genetics have a huge role to play for sure!

@@PlebiteBaller Correct, but other steroids are not needed or necessary for health.
Thank you really appreciate your honesty❤
No problemo 🥰

I think you made the right decision....
Thank you ☺️
Yes! Thank you for this honesty
My pleasure thank you for watching 😇
Brilliant. It's great to hear an honest athlete ❤
Appreciate the comment- thanks 🥰
I am so afraid of virilization (in myself) - thank you for your openness
Definitely something to be really careful with and monitor closely. My pleasure 🥰
Don't take steroids then, it's not difficult
Thanks for the information. This is good for any natural lifter that ever considers switching it up.
No problem 😌

Correct.
can you stop taking it completely though? aren't there side effects for life?
Yes you can and I will when I am done with competing. sadly yes certain side effects are permanent. The voice for me and for some women they will go as far as jawline changes which will stay...
@@EmilyBagshaw I don't mind a deeper voice Emily 🙂 You like foot massage? I'm great at giving those!
Question how do you get leaner and lose fat but gain muscles mass as a proffesional ?

Good for you and your health. I hope other women followed your advice.
Thank you! Hope so 🙂

yes death can occur from serious misuse especially on show day with diuretics gone wrong... you have to be so incredibly careful!
Love the.content...been there done that...and wearing 5 T-shirt
oh really have you? I'm sure you can relate then!😆
You are the female version of joe delaney
Ha I love Joe Delaney so I will accept this as a compliment!
I checked your oldest video and your voice did changed. However, it's not past the level of losing all femininity yet
Exactly. And yes I agree. I stopped before it was too late!
I wish my wife would try a little testosterone for her sex drive!! I'm on TRT and horney all the time and she not horney at all sucks !!
Most people have a low s3x drive for a reason. Medical, mental, not feeling loved or made to feel appreciated/special. Like are you actually romancing your partner or just expecting your needs to be met? Do they have health issues that need to be addressed? A low s3x drive is not normal in a healthy relationship.
Maybe she doesn’t want to have sex with someone stupid enough to abuse drugs?
You should have a conversation about it with your wife and she should have a conversation with her doctor.
Predictable.
