Most down to earth relatable fitness TH-camr out there. He has many sides to him. Dorky yet alpha smart yet goofy. Introverted yet outgoing. Many fitness TH-camrs trying sell a brand or chase clout but Calum is just Calum.. respect
I saw him in person two years ago and he’s wayyyy smaller in person. Not saying he’s not on gear, but if the stars aligned and made someone with perfect genetics, it would be that dude. That or gear haha
Kainotto74 yeah man not like Cals ever denied it like he said it’s an underground topic he’s actually made it quite obvious in the past that he’s on the juice through puns in his videos from years ago. Kenny should just got for those that deny the use of roids
I don’t understand why bodybuilders get hate for taking steroids if they don’t claim natty. All competitive bodybuilders take steroids it’s just what you have to do at that level. Unless you compete naturally of course.
You think so? I mean, everyone already knew he used, and a lot of people in the fitness industry are now making videos on it. I like Calum, and I found it nice to see his take on steroids, but I really don't think it's that brave to talk about it. I do appreciate him doing it though.
@@shakir1998 What sponsors would Calum lose? I don't think any of the companies that sponsor him right now would care, and lately everybody's owing up to using. The truth is, steroids are common in the fitness industry, and I think most fitness brands stopped caring about their drug free image.
Funny how the title isn't clickbait at all. Usually you see titles like, "Im on steroids!" and then it says in the video that they take protein shakes. You're the other way around. Start general in the title giving your take on steroids. And then come clean and say you're on steroids. It has a wow effect, despite getting less views. Glad you chose that perspective. Respect!
I feel like this is going to be the beginning of many videos of people coming out now that Callum and one or two others have come out and not got any hate. Nobody cares if you take them just don’t lie about it!
Jbuns 12 The start? The “Being open about steroids” thing has been present on TH-cam for about 2 years now. Plenty of athletes coming out and being honest online these days.
Larry came out and then a dozen different guys did the same in different parts of the world. Nothing new because everyone pretty much knew who all were juicing.
the whole video he struggles with eye contact with the camera and his voice wavers so this is tough for him. I give credit to guys who are on roids and admit it freely
They really shouldn't have to admit it. People should stay in their own lane and mind their business. If u don't take them then don't worry about who else does. Everyone is too damn nosey these days
@@ryandegroot22 nobody "has to admit it" they choose to or choose not to. nobody is being forced to do anything also hes posting publically so you dont have to white knight for his privacy
You can tell he feels awkward talking about it, but the fact that he is open and honest about it takes character. There are others who are obviously on gear and will never admit to it. Awesome vid man!
You're an absolute boss for coming out and talking about it man. Everyone has their own fitness journey, thank you for being honest man. You became 1 of my favourite bodybuilders/athletes after I watched your doco on your injuries and your journey back. Keep it up brother 👌
There has been way more Competetive BodyBuilder before who talked about it already and one of the best guys was: Lee Priest. He used to talked about it so much that ppl hated him and also a reason why he never won Mr. Olypmia.
@@TheRelenquished My point is.. there has been many more before.. calling someone a boss because he did it its not "fair" against the others who are fighting against it since Day one. Yeah its nice that he talks about it but doesn't change a thing because he wont be competetive against the other huge guys if he stops taking it. Even Arnold took roids and talked about it.

We didn't really compete though, we weren't that close because he was my least favorite, there's 4 of us. He was and still is a jerk.

Ohern has been lifting for 40 years. Dude doesn’t show signs of abuse. I’ve met him, he’s a monster, but skinny waist and takes breaks to eat his food. I don’t think he’s on them but it doesn’t matter, watch how he lifts. Best out there imo

He did this the right way. Notice how he didn’t go full Rich Piana and talk about his CURRENT usage. Only talked about his past.

@b I'm 58, and I use steroids. Without steroids, even if I'm not training legs, I have pain in my legs. Nothing serious it's just like delayed onset muscle soreness but all the time, especially if I've been sitting still for a long while or driving. My job is quite physical, working in a warehouse loading trucks. Without steroids I can only work 5 days per week. With steroids I have the energy to work 6 days per week, and earn an extra £110pw. I want to go to the gym 5days per week, but without steroids I can only make it maybe 3, or 4 days on a good week. Now I know you'll say that I'm getting older and these are all things that I should accept as an older man. But why should I accept pain in my legs every day?. Just because you're upset that there's people "cheating" in the gym, you could take them yourself, but you're too scared of the consequences. No thanks, I tried it your way, and it sucks.
The fitness industry is slowly becoming more real and respectable now thanks to all the amazing people to come out and be honest to there subscribers !💯
The second you admitted to taking steroids I liked the video and subscribed. Respect to your honesty, we need more people like you in the Fitness world.
Sorry my man but there’s no way he’s not on gear. Not to diminish his hard work you can be on a cocktail of all the steroids there is if your not on point with your nutrition and training you will see nothing.
I respect this massively, more fitness “influencers” should be doing the same instead of selling over priced workouts off the back of their “natural physiques”
Yes. Time to stop the stigma. Our drs prescribe opiates for everything. Tylenol and ibuprofen are more damaging to the liver. If people were taught and explained a bit more thungs wouldnt be getting out of hand. With illegality comes unrealistic use. Got 200lb jackwads taking more than some pros.
This. I am sick and tired of all the Instagram fitness coaches that are juiced to the gills, and selling training/macro programs, making people think they can look just like these coaches with some clean eating and working out 5-6 days a week. Even with roids it takes hard work, but lets be real here... the fitness industry is soooo fake right now.
I really respect his work ethic in the gym. He seems like a genuine dude. Accidents and injuries can set some people back for life. Grinding through it and staying on track takes grit. Keep it up brother!
I hugely appreciate this. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable in my own skin because I set unrealistic standards without steroids and would never be in that bracket. Being bold enough to be honest is not damaging, it helps athletes set realistic expectations of themself. It also raises awareness of what is possible for youth coming through in the future. Be proud of where you get too naturally, do not compare and dispair at what others are doing. Be proud of you! Well done Calum Sir.
summary STORYTIME He started in his early twentys because his brother was taking them. Won some bodybuilder competition. got excited. Mentorman entered his life to guide him, taken steroids since. CALUM'S ADVICE Train natural for atleast 5 years before you start juicing. Respect the drugs. Validate your reasons.
"Don't do if for bullshit reasons because you want to get bigger or be the biggest guy in the room" Goes to a competition where literally every guy in the room is taking them to be the biggest guy possible lol
You should’ve spoken to Mike O’hearn before you took gear. He could’ve given you his fully natty diet and training tips man. Edit: patiently waiting for Nicks Strength and power to make a video on this and to highlight my comment and CVM response. My man!
There is one thing im sure about now and that is "Hard times definitely makes you a more mature person". Calum has now a more mature attitude towards life. We support you boy 💪💪
To me this is the most strength Calum has ever shown. Being honest about this is simply showing character - at one moment in your life you have to choose whether you're okay with where you are, or whether you want to push through the ceiling - even if that means you need a kickstarter. It's really not a *moral* discussion, it's just a personal matter - how far do I want to go with this.
It’s great to see someone being honest as lots of kids look up to these people and I think it’s amazing that Calum has come out and been transparent. This might even be to his detriment for sponsors I am guesting. Legendary status achieved. Thank you for helping others
Reasons NOT to take them - impressing girls, instagram, being biggest person in the room Reasons TO take them - stand in a g string with a bunch of other blokes in g strings and show each other your muscles
@@jesuguru2394 About 0.5% of the competitors make some decent cash from competitions. Id say there is a better chance of making money from youtube, ig etc
@@dreday77764 Well, cheating implies doing something that others are not allowed to, and in his division and the events he competed in steroids were/are being used by everyone. So, no it is more likely he doesn't want to say it, because he knows there are sponsors and others that frown upon the people they support openly discussing it.
Chris Pilotte Just because he competed in events that “steroids were/ are being used” dosent retract from the fact that it is cheating. Does the governing body state that steroids is acceptable?? Ahh no.. hell even Ronnie Coleman claimed he was natural lol
If you have no obligations or responsibilities like work or family it gets to you and if you got other stress roids will destroy your health they only work if you take them before sleeping most idiots use them in the daytime Muscles repair themselves at night yet people think saturating the muscles with anabolics all day while tearing them up builds muscles it's the opposite you work out then take them then sleep.
Guys legit the biggest fucking lying moron. So fucking deluded that he tells Jay Cutler and ma boi Larry wheels how to properly bench press to engage their chests better.
Mike O'Hearn is all-natural, he told me himself. If you guys don't believe it then too bad what are you guys going to say next, that Santa Clause doesnt exist?🤣🤣🤣
Honestly, it's none of your business what he does with his hair and it's fucking disgusting that you guys think that only one certain image of people is acceptable. You're pigs is what you are.
Most of the audience know who's on steroids, who's not on steroids. Some kids dont. What i need is them accepting that, and spreading awareness abt it to the audience, just as u did. Good job, tell others to do so as well. Ppl who cant afford steroids with proper caution nd money, take them and suffer.
Really respect and honor you even more now, Calum. I think you should just enjoy training, and getting back to where you were, with no stress or pressure. Just enjoy the journey, again. After a year or two, if you feel the fire still burning to compete, then compete. When you're back, and ready. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. You're the man, Calum. Never stop grinding or being positive.
This kind of video is important to the people note the “falses natural “.Today the true in fitness world must be more worthy cuz bodybuilding athletes are inspiration to us
I ADMIRE YOUR HONESTY. SO MANY FITNESS/BODYBUILDING MODELS ARE CLEARLY ON ROIDS OR HAVE DONE THEM IN THE PAST AND DON'T ADMIT IT. THE FACT THAT YOU'RE SO HONEST AND OPEN ABOUT IT, MAKES ME RESPECT YOU EVEN MORE. PROPS.
Thank you for your honesty and really, your humility. You can tell you were challenged by this but it is in the industry. You have a massive future in front you! Continue training, sharing and coaching. Cheers my friend!
@@AdrenaLukeYT are you that low IQ to not understand the point of his comment? He's talking about the public admission of the fact (which takes hella guts), not the fact itself (which is obvious)
I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone willing to be open and honest about the use of PEDs. As someone who has worked with and trained young athletes for many years I appreciate that he advises kids to workout to achieve their genetic potential first and then ONLY IF they choose to compete at that level consider using PEDs. Much Respect, Calum!
Coming from a POV of always having been a natural lifter, I respect the fact that, at the very least, he's being up front and honest about a stigmatic issue. I wish him good fortune.
Haven't watched yet... let me guess the new I take steroid cookie cutter template "I trained for years, placed at show but was beaten by bigger guys and had to start, don't do it to look good at the beach blahblah" Am I close?
His physique makes him money so it's understandable that he would take roids. For your average Joe who no one knows it's not worth taking unless you're deadly serious about competing in bodybuilding.
I do follow your progress and channel for almost 3 yrs now dude, I honestly believe that this is one of the best vids out there and on your channel, gym workouts aside. Its tough putting yourself out there like that BUT its really important for young lads to be realistic both with themselves and their role models. Knowing what to expect and what it takes to get from point A to point B when bodybuilding turns out to be more than a hobby and it moves towards making a living off of it. Just for the record honesty doesn't kill anyone, I do respect you a whole lot more now, and after 3 yrs at the gym I only follow legit guys like you on TH-cam! Big applause and cheers dude!
Damn, I had so much respect for you before and after seeing this you've only gained more. You're a stand up guy man - one of my biggest icons. Keep doing what you do
Finally the industry becoming more transparent, well done for being honest.
Yep it's great, and it doesn't inspire me to do them at all either. Hope other body builders do the same.
Joe Weider died...
At least he was honest, personally though i would never take them
The biggest facade is anti doping in the IFBB lol
It's easier for him to speak openly because he is self employed. different for those with sponsors.

@b I'm 58, and I use steroids. Without steroids, even if I'm not training legs, I have pain in my legs. Nothing serious it's just like delayed onset muscle soreness but all the time, especially if I've been sitting still for a long while or driving.
My job is quite physical, working in a warehouse loading trucks. Without steroids I can only work 5 days per week. With steroids I have the energy to work 6 days per week, and earn an extra £110pw.
I want to go to the gym 5days per week, but without steroids I can only make it maybe 3, or 4 days on a good week.
Now I know you'll say that I'm getting older and these are all things that I should accept as an older man. But why should I accept pain in my legs every day?.
Just because you're upset that there's people "cheating" in the gym, you could take them yourself, but you're too scared of the consequences.
No thanks, I tried it your way, and it sucks.
Just gained so much more respect for you Calum. Thanks for you’re integrity.
The fitness industry is slowly becoming more real and respectable now thanks to all the amazing people to come out and be honest to there subscribers !💯

"You had my curiosity. But now you have my attention." Respect to you for discussing it openly

Easy now Mr Dicaprio

The guy operating the camera has a gun and is forcing him to tell the truth

LMFAOOOO
The second you admitted to taking steroids I liked the video and subscribed. Respect to your honesty, we need more people like you in the Fitness world.
Callum trying to convince people he’s on gear so we feel better about ourselves. Your natty brah I can tell.
Salt 100
you’re
Lol
Roasted 😂
Sorry my man but there’s no way he’s not on gear. Not to diminish his hard work you can be on a cocktail of all the steroids there is if your not on point with your nutrition and training you will see nothing.
I respect this massively, more fitness “influencers” should be doing the same instead of selling over priced workouts off the back of their “natural physiques”
Yes. Time to stop the stigma. Our drs prescribe opiates for everything. Tylenol and ibuprofen are more damaging to the liver. If people were taught and explained a bit more thungs wouldnt be getting out of hand. With illegality comes unrealistic use. Got 200lb jackwads taking more than some pros.
This. I am sick and tired of all the Instagram fitness coaches that are juiced to the gills, and selling training/macro programs, making people think they can look just like these coaches with some clean eating and working out 5-6 days a week. Even with roids it takes hard work, but lets be real here... the fitness industry is soooo fake right now.
Ren3gade so true mate, literally robbing people of their hard earned cash
That is how they make money, it won’t change. All we can do is educate ourselves and educate others so they won’t fall for it.
Cody so true mate, it’s a shame. But hopefully the more of them that come out and say they’re taking steroids, hopefully it makes others do it too!
Simeon Panda guys "it's all about the chicken and Rice "
Arthur Exper you can do it naturally yes 😂
Let him finish...
Rice
Arthur Exper have you seen his brother and dad they barely even work out and are monsters
@@erik-rw7ft yes sirr... i have seen them they are big but not big and shredded like Simeon Panda!!
I really respect his work ethic in the gym. He seems like a genuine dude. Accidents and injuries can set some people back for life. Grinding through it and staying on track takes grit. Keep it up brother!
At one point, I’m pretty sure he looked directly into the camera and told me to take steroids
@@Junkhead_210 if youre gonna do it go all out
Leroy Brown drink a lot of vegetables and fruits maybe less meat will help too
Leroy Brown you look like shit considering youre on juice 🙄
Idk, brah. Dude lost his hairline. Roids aren't worth it.
Minute?
I hugely appreciate this. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable in my own skin because I set unrealistic standards without steroids and would never be in that bracket. Being bold enough to be honest is not damaging, it helps athletes set realistic expectations of themself. It also raises awareness of what is possible for youth coming through in the future. Be proud of where you get too naturally, do not compare and dispair at what others are doing. Be proud of you! Well done Calum Sir.
summary
STORYTIME
He started in his early twentys because his brother was taking them.
Won some bodybuilder competition. got excited.
Mentorman entered his life to guide him, taken steroids since.
CALUM'S ADVICE
Train natural for atleast 5 years before you start juicing.
Respect the drugs.
Validate your reasons.
Nikolai Valujev thanks for saving me some time, karma credits on their way
Damn bro! Right on the point! 💯💯
"Don't do if for bullshit reasons because you want to get bigger or be the biggest guy in the room"
Goes to a competition where literally every guy in the room is taking them to be the biggest guy possible lol
I can tell he finds it so hard to talk about it, it’s sad and I can tell how genuine he is. Love you Brah
That’s the content we like to see. Much respect for being honest and real! Hope you continue to be successful Calum!
Just subbed. Appreciate honesty. The industry is filled with lying herbs
Tidwell mmmm herbs 🌿
Yeah something very rare to admit in this industry
"Everybody is on steroids!" Nate Diaz
Super necessary
My favorite press conference moment of all time 👌👍🤣😂
hell yeah
is anyone proConnor 2019
@@thaifighter6132 no.
Much respect friend. Great job in "Bigger." I'm a big fan. This kind of transparency is a good thing for the world.
You should’ve spoken to Mike O’hearn before you took gear. He could’ve given you his fully natty diet and training tips man.
Edit: patiently waiting for Nicks Strength and power to make a video on this and to highlight my comment and CVM response. My man!
N Daly I’d probably choke on his advice
Calum von Moger 😂😂😂😂😂
Duck eggs for life bro!
Calum von Moger mike is as natty as all the tits on the bikini comps
Mike TheFake O’hearn
You don't know how quickly I clicked on this
fahad sharif you’re right, we don’t
Same lmfao I was like oh shit!!
Same here. I just want to know what mad scientist blend he has in his bacl pocket
Bruh I know exactly cuz I wuz right there wit you bruh and I clicked so fast it ain’t like before.
0.4 seconds?
There is one thing im sure about now and that is "Hard times definitely makes you a more mature person". Calum has now a more mature attitude towards life. We support you boy 💪💪
Huge props Calum. That takes some balls to do what you just did. You’ll always be a legend in my book.
Calum Von Honesty ❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪💪💪
Bruh lookin nervous as hell! Bruh lookin like he interrogating himself on the first 48! 😂🙈💊💉
he' still lying
And because he knows he's a fake.
wildeyed76 how so?
@@wildeyed76 Lmao when'd he ever claim natty tho?
He just got done workingout...
Simon panda will never admit his on steds
Simeon O'hearn
He is natural
its illegal where he is so i dont blame him
@@PaulBodyBuilderjust like Ronnie Coleman all his career
@@PaulBodyBuilder so true, more natural than rich piana and the same neurons as you (2)
To me this is the most strength Calum has ever shown.
Being honest about this is simply showing character - at one moment in your life you have to choose whether you're okay with where you are, or whether you want to push through the ceiling - even if that means you need a kickstarter.
It's really not a *moral* discussion, it's just a personal matter - how far do I want to go with this.
It’s great to see someone being honest as lots of kids look up to these people and I think it’s amazing that Calum has come out and been transparent. This might even be to his detriment for sponsors I am guesting. Legendary status achieved. Thank you for helping others
Reasons NOT to take them - impressing girls, instagram, being biggest person in the room
Reasons TO take them - stand in a g string with a bunch of other blokes in g strings and show each other your muscles
Thats one way of looking at it
*for money (at least that's part of his point I think)
If you need them cause your career path vs doing them to look cool.
@@jesuguru2394 About 0.5% of the competitors make some decent cash from competitions. Id say there is a better chance of making money from youtube, ig etc
Yup, and if that is your thing then rock it bro! If not, probably a reason why! Hell, I look no where nearly good enough to be doing it! So, I don't.
You can tell he doesn't even like saying steroids
Of course he doesn’t.. using the word steroids equates to cheating?
@@dreday77764 Well, cheating implies doing something that others are not allowed to, and in his division and the events he competed in steroids were/are being used by everyone. So, no it is more likely he doesn't want to say it, because he knows there are sponsors and others that frown upon the people they support openly discussing it.
They're a class A drug in Australia 🙄🤦♂️
I was 20 percent thinking about taking steroid a few months ago. Now, 0. He said everything very well.
Chris Pilotte Just because he competed in events that “steroids were/ are being used” dosent retract from the fact that it is cheating. Does the governing body state that steroids is acceptable?? Ahh no.. hell even Ronnie Coleman claimed he was natural lol
Huge respect for honesty. This sport needs this kind of transparency, thank you for being muscular!
Simeon: I never took steroids! Just some tren, anadrol, deca, winstrol and like 10 other things guys. I NEVER TOOK CREATINE!
Simeon actually did a lie detector test.
@@komaddog So do criminals.
@@komaddog lie detector don't work that's being proven.
@Lord Jay actually its been proven to be unreliable, and thats a fact.
www.apa.org/research/action/polygraph
@Lord Jay just because its used doesn't mean it works. Its been proven so boy bye🙋🏾
"Everyones on steroids" Nate Diaz. Also some guys admit to steroid use but lie about how much they use.
Lol so true
Even Calum says he's using only before competitions. I'm pretty sure he blasts and cruises all year round.
If you have no obligations or responsibilities like work or family it gets to you and if you got other stress roids will destroy your health they only work if you take them before sleeping most idiots use them in the daytime Muscles repair themselves at night yet people think saturating the muscles with anabolics all day while tearing them up builds muscles it's the opposite you work out then take them then sleep.
@@ericmcconnell9407 That's the dumbest thing I have ever read. If you have no clue what you're talking about, don't talk at all.
@@DamagePlanasYour preference for vas deferens is of no concern to me.
He's talking about Mike ohearn lol. Dude is nuts...in his late 40's, still going around lieing about his nattie status and arrogantly
Guys legit the biggest fucking lying moron. So fucking deluded that he tells Jay Cutler and ma boi Larry wheels how to properly bench press to engage their chests better.
Mike O'Hearn is all-natural, he told me himself. If you guys don't believe it then too bad
what are you guys going to say next, that Santa Clause doesnt exist?🤣🤣🤣
That's Mike O'tren to you
mike o tren is the type of guy that believes he’s natural but cleary isn’t , don’t know the word something liar
Bryce Mcvea fr , ill never forget that , jay is one of the biggest bodybuilders ever he beat Ronnie, and Larry is a elite lifter
Love you man, love the honesty. I mean we all knew this but for you to come out like this is very impressive and shows your character bro. 100% class.
Judging you harder on trying a man bun than admitting to being on steroids
Good point! We already knew he was on!
man buns make me sick and thats coming from someone who currently has one
Ahren FullStop great point mate!
Hasn’t anyone heard of short back and sides with a bit of gel on top.
@@elliottstokes3917 LMAO😂
Honestly, it's none of your business what he does with his hair and it's fucking disgusting that you guys think that only one certain image of people is acceptable. You're pigs is what you are.
Most of the audience know who's on steroids, who's not on steroids. Some kids dont.
What i need is them accepting that, and spreading awareness abt it to the audience, just as u did. Good job, tell others to do so as well. Ppl who cant afford steroids with proper caution nd money, take them and suffer.
Really respect and honor you even more now, Calum. I think you should just enjoy training, and getting back to where you were, with no stress or pressure. Just enjoy the journey, again. After a year or two, if you feel the fire still burning to compete, then compete. When you're back, and ready. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. You're the man, Calum. Never stop grinding or being positive.
Big respect for your honesty. It’s obvious you are on them but you didn’t have to address the subject and give advice but you still did. Respect ✊
This kind of video is important to the people note the “falses natural “.Today the true in fitness world must be more worthy cuz bodybuilding athletes are inspiration to us
The truth is that all competing athletes and all those muscled men from glanced magazines are on juce, there is no natural athletes any more.
It's the whole "me too" movement on steroids!
They were all sucking Harvey Weinsteins cock too?
Calum har been open About his "supplementation" for years
It's bcs of the guy from Kinobody started the #NattyVerified movement?
who else came clean?
Its all fun and games but they don‘t really mention how they can fuck you up, only that they are illegal
I ADMIRE YOUR HONESTY. SO MANY FITNESS/BODYBUILDING MODELS ARE CLEARLY ON ROIDS OR HAVE DONE THEM IN THE PAST AND DON'T ADMIT IT. THE FACT THAT YOU'RE SO HONEST AND OPEN ABOUT IT, MAKES ME RESPECT YOU EVEN MORE. PROPS.
Thank you for your honesty and really, your humility. You can tell you were challenged by this but it is in the industry. You have a massive future in front you! Continue training, sharing and coaching. Cheers my friend!
Love the trend of people finally coming out and talking about this subject. Major respect, thank you for this.
This convinced me to sub. Being honest about something this serious takes a lot
Gimme a break, he's just stating the obvious...
Ya I mean nobody could've guessed he was on steroids.... Dude you have to have such a low IQ. It's not anything of a big reveal.
@@AdrenaLukeYT are you that low IQ to not understand the point of his comment? He's talking about the public admission of the fact (which takes hella guts), not the fact itself (which is obvious)
Calum: "Let me talk about steroids!"
Mike O'Tren: "1:21"
Steroids will mess you up inside Sooner or later
😭💀
hahahahahaha
imagine him driving away on his motorbike with the front wheel up :D
Nick Claro 😂😂😂
I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone willing to be open and honest about the use of PEDs. As someone who has worked with and trained young athletes for many years I appreciate that he advises kids to workout to achieve their genetic potential first and then ONLY IF they choose to compete at that level consider using PEDs. Much Respect, Calum!
He sounds like a dad giving the talk
Lmao man that's perfect brother!
thhats what it takes when you have all these stupid kids on here
I super respect this man. For his honesty, his humility, and his work ethic.
Love how real your being, its really nice to see!
Your an idol for many teens and i also think they should know how dumb of an idea steroids are
Coming from a POV of always having been a natural lifter, I respect the fact that, at the very least, he's being up front and honest about a stigmatic issue. I wish him good fortune.
Best piece of advice
'Take them if you have a genuine reason to'
Like winning a plastic trophy for parading around on stage in a mangeant.
Sam Lloyd are you forgetting about the sponsorships and money that comes with it?
Haven't watched yet... let me guess the new I take steroid cookie cutter template "I trained for years, placed at show but was beaten by bigger guys and had to start, don't do it to look good at the beach blahblah" Am I close?

Big respect Calum for being the voice of all bodybuilder who takes steroids
"Take them for competitions.." 2 min later... "should I do a competition again?"
Bruh😂
His physique makes him money so it's understandable that he would take roids. For your average Joe who no one knows it's not worth taking unless you're deadly serious about competing in bodybuilding.
He does it, so relax.
There's a place for you in Classic Physique ol' chapstick
I do follow your progress and channel for almost 3 yrs now dude, I honestly believe that this is one of the best vids out there and on your channel, gym workouts aside. Its tough putting yourself out there like that BUT its really important for young lads to be realistic both with themselves and their role models. Knowing what to expect and what it takes to get from point A to point B when bodybuilding turns out to be more than a hobby and it moves towards making a living off of it. Just for the record honesty doesn't kill anyone, I do respect you a whole lot more now, and after 3 yrs at the gym I only follow legit guys like you on TH-cam! Big applause and cheers dude!
I’m plugging my ears. Your my all time favorite ALL NATURAL ATHLETE!
Legend....don’t normally comment on videos. But the honesty in this video is brilliant. Let’s gooooo
Thanks Big guy for talking to us about an extremely difficult topic. Can't wait to see what you bring to the bodybuilding sport next.
All the more respect for honesty and trying to help others with realistic advice. Can't help but like this fulla!
Calum is my favorite natural steroid user.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is why I love this man, Calum is a solid person, steroids or not he still work his ass off and he don't lie to you.
He is my type of champion
Great bloke
Damn, I had so much respect for you before and after seeing this you've only gained more. You're a stand up guy man - one of my biggest icons. Keep doing what you do
Top guy man, honesty is super refreshing. Hope you can get back to your best
Calum the type of guy to call 911 after he killed his workout
Never clicked so fast 😂
Why?
I see this type of comment on so many videos. Everyone being a sheep. I took my time clicking on this video btw.
