@@fitz2917Except we do tell people not to drink, or, at the very least, to drink responsibly. Also, let's not pretend that alcohol is the same as steroids.
That’s not true. You need maybe 10 working sets per muscle group per week to see growth. I would say it’s more to do with consistency outside of the gym with diet and sleep that is important.
@Wicked2305 Nope. There's only a littttlle bit of evidence that supports taking it after a workout is best, but almost all studies show as long as you do it once a day and are fully saturated(takes about 3 weeks without loading), you're good.

@@gabrielmagalhaes859it takes a massive toll on the body if you lift like a moron, sure. if you do everything Dr. Mike says to minimize ur injury risk to gains ratio by using as light weight as possible and still getting in moderate reps by very slow eccentric control, perfect form, warming up properly etc. then obviously you may very well not make a single injury in your life and your bone density and general body health would be 10x better than everyone else your age. to say bodybuilding, let alone lifting, takes a massive toll on the body as black and white as that isn't right
@patootie3529 I'm talking about the competitive side in general, since it was what was being mentioned above me. If you are an amateur, you don't need to worry about making weight, drying for competition, maintaining perfect progress, etc... If you get injured, you still have to pull through somehow in a competition in some cases, which definitely takes its toll If you are amateur, sure, not much, if anything will happen to you, but professional, it's a different story, most professional sports demand a lot physically
If you work with your body I don't care if you take or not roids...but the problem is when many influencers call themselves "natty" and they lie to people who think they can have their body just working out harder
That comes with society's stupid anti-steroids bias. I even see pharmaceuticals advertised as "steroid-free". That is one of the most ridiculous and underhanded marketing tactics I have ever heard. Almost everything in the universe is more expensive that steroids. And almost nothing in the pharmaceutical industry is more natural than steroids. When they substitute something else for steroids, the new product is more expensive, less effective, and almost definitely has a LOT more side effects. This is a scam. Steroids should never have been illegalized. This act really just screwed everyone because steroids are miracle cures.
I refuse to believe that steroid usage improves long-term general happiness for more than a handfull of people. Would be an interesting study to conduct.
I’m pretty sure in the full length video he discusses that there is a lot of times a cycle where you want to get bigger so you juice, then you do get bigger and stop, then you get smaller and then you want to juice again. It can definitely be a vicious cycle for a lot of people.
I'm on TRT for various medical reasons. It has done nothing to improve my muscle mass. (I haven't been going to the gym regularly) It is not a magic pill. You still have to do the work. You still have to put the time into the gym and diet.
I think it might be more helpful for older people who for some reason have very low levels of their hormones. Without those hormones, they don’t feel motivated or in a good mood.
In this same video he talks about how 5 years ago people called him a fake natty but now, after so much desensitization of steroid use, he is now called "small". Steroids really fkked us up.

Really helpful. I’m 40 and have 346 ng/Dl which is on the low side of normal. Or 12 nmol/L for the brits in the comments. Knowing you’re at 16 nmol/L and have that muscle mass is encouraging
My brother tested 1180 at 24, I tested about 950 at 16, he had a bit of a second puberty at 22. Our whole family on our dads side has super high test, dense back hair almost as thick as our head hair, also ear hair, based on our last name we would have been basically the Kshatriya (Indian warrior caste, about 15%~ of our population) war generals back in the day so makes sense. So 1000 isn't exactly the limit for nattys. Depends on the person and genetics, along with physical activities, we do frequent exercise and martial arts swell.
346 ng/dL is extremely fucking low. Though this also depends on free test and SHBG levels. Get more sleep and fix your diet. Make sure you get plenty of zinc, magnesium, vitamin A, and boron. If your diet & general lifestyle is good & you can't find any reasons as to why your test is this low, I'd recommend hopping on TRT.
@@kgtl12345 you're missing that the human body is complex and one single hormone value of a single person at a single blood test does not define their entire health state or the capabilities of their body
@@kgtl12345 Genetics play a huge part. Anything above 300 and below 1000 is the normal range. If it is lower than 300 then it is considered abnormal and your doctor may prescribe you TRT (if you ask)
Well delivered message Jeff and one that those considering steroid use need to hear. I really appreciated your non-judgemental approach to getting this message out.
Yeah natural test levels aren’t as important as people think. A 300-400 isn’t much different from like an 800, as long as both people feel good and are healthy, cause bodies also have different sensitivities and reactions to hormones
It does slow down over time. Another aspect to consider is possibly needing to increase your intensity and vary your training a bit. If all you do is flat bench, try progressively overloading dumbbells and cables for a while and see how it goes. Potentially, you may also want to go into a very slight surplus in calories to see if your body will therefore be more willing to build extra tissue.
Bro, it took me the first 4 years to have little muscle growth, I know have a very good amount of muscle but I have 7 years lifting, so I am guessing you probably have like 2 years, it takes time as natural to build a nice physique
Androgen receptors play a big role in that, cant really explain it all too well but basically they helpy build muscle with test however some may not be as sensitave like yours
Okay, at 63, it dropped pretty low. Went on TRT microdose. After a few weeks, there are not a lot of differences, but importantly, I do recover like I did when I was younger. That is a huge difference between being young and being old is that you recover from injury so much faster. I've added about 10 lbs more muscle on exactly the same training. Body fat lowered very modestly. Got rid of a spare tire, that midsection fat that is so annoying but not harmful. BMI didn't mean anything before as a total natural. It means even less now.
Excellent, Jeff. You're a 'clean' body builder, and so is your message. Unfortunately, body building has taken a negative spin for a number of decades now by the use of steroids and other enhancing substances, compromising health. Body building and holistic (clean) living still go hand-in-hand. That's the way of nature. As one example, I'll take a Steve Reeves physique any time over looking like the 'Hulk' (OK for comics but not real life). Thanks.
Well done kid, don't keep lifting like you are, give up the size, you wont loose much strength if at all. Youll and look good into ur 50s. Its easy to get ur abbs back ever summer also.
wear any shoes but when u squat u either want weightlifting shoes with heels for better leverages especially if ur ankle mobility is poor or ull want flat for both squats and deadlifts. or u can just be barefoot/in socks for both

yes. his roots are in powerlifting so bro is strong af. meaning he can move more weight, meaning he can look like that after 10 years of training hard. being 5'5 doesn't hurt either
Jeff, i’m not sure framing it as an educated decision is even appropriate. The vast majority of people who are going to take steroids, do not have masters degree or doctorates, nor have they spoken with an expert. I think this is giving tacit permission for people to take steroids if “it’s reasonable if you make an educated decision.”
Really helpful to know. My levels were below 200 so my doctor put me on TRT and now while they fluctuate somewhat, they're around 450 to 550. I briefly had a spike to 750 which left me feeling extremely energetic but things went back to my normal levels.
How come you never extrapolate your findings jeff? For example “steroid user” is such a blanket term. Are you including people who need TRT in this term? What range of dosages and compounds are included? How about cycling on and off or cruising? How about what age you start, or how long youre on?
We need more study on how low testosterone (TRT) Impact longevity because they did a study on woman who did (HRT) And the impact on longevity was insane it boosted their health by miles
Years ago there was a young man at a gym where I worked out. He was in decent shape. All of a sudden his gains went through the roof and he became huge. Was trying to get in shape to compete in a bodybuilding competition. When he first started working out there he had a head full of beautiful blonde hair. After about a year of juicing he was balding at about as fast a rate as he was growing.
Great video and exactly how it should be… Education about steroids, pros and cons, advising against it, but at the end of the day, it’s your choice. I know people that take them and I tell them every day how bad they are for them, but they insist the juice is worth the squeeze
I’m ready to dabble in peptides. I’m recovering from a meniscus surgery and ended up straining or slightly tearing both of my hamstrings. I’m going to take BPC-157 and TB-500 to see if they are effective as said to be
I feel like we should stop calling them “risks” because people are going to think “it wont happen to me” which is a mentality we shouldn’t support so we should call them just negative effects pretty much certain to happen
“Steroids” as a term, is a blanket statement for an endless list of compounds. I’d be curious to know which ones really have which kinds of these effects. I mean all are damaging in their own way. I’d also like to see the risk vs reward ratio of certain SARMS vs steroids as well.
Very true. Glucocorticoids are notorious but, from personal experience, they can potentially increase exercise tolerance to the point that, with proper diet, exercise, and lifestyle, the benefits seem to potentially outweigh the risks for certain individuals suffering from crippling inflammation-related symptoms/conditions that aren’t effectively resolved by more conservative treatment methods like NSAIDs (Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Even then, extreme caution should be exercised under a physician’s guidance as glucocorticoids delivered per orus (by mouth) can potentially predispose you to developing Cushing’s syndrome/disease, Cardiovascular disease, Addison’s disease, Type II Diabetes Mellitus, Hypothyroidism, Hypogonadism, Osteoporosis, loss of muscle mass, recurrent respiratory infections, and a whole slew of other horrible, nasty health complications. They truly are a double-edged sword, but when utilized appropriately for indicated inflammatory/endocrine conditions, they can not only save your life during life-threatening flares of disease activity, but they can also drastically improve quality of life and even assist in indicated individuals’ physical rehabilitation or pursuit of personal fitness/health/wellbeing. I am not a licensed physician nor should my words be misconstrued as medical advice.
As someone who has struggled with acne for many years and has finally got it under control, there is no amount of muscle steroids could offer me to consider taking them
Telling you something is bad for you isn’t an attack on your agency. People telling you that you’re making bad choices isn’t the same as taking away your choices; unless you’re insecure and seek external approval, which would lend an explanation as to why you as a non-athlete would be taking PED’s in the first place.
I think the psychological effects play a big part too. Seeing all your muscle you've built up start disappearing when you come off the roids can take a mental toll and maybe cause a relapse. I can see it hard for some to just drop the juice.
Quick question, what if someone used small doses of steroids to stay in the high natural limit or slightly above natural. Will it still cause the same side effects? Also what are the best ways to increase your testosterone naturally?
What are the side effects of Creatine? I’ve always heard that it’s really helpful for building muscle mass, but are there any side effects that I should be aware of?
^^ do not listen to this guy, 0 research proving that creatine causes hair loss 😂 I think he might be confusing it with testosterone (which causes your body to produce more estrogen/turns the testosterone molecules to DHT, which is what causes hair folicles to close up/hair fall out)
Also just FYI creatine is found naturally in red meat and other foods, creatine monohydrate is the most studied supplement ever so you can find plenty of facts online. It makes your muscle cells retain more water and therefore be larger
Bro doctors told me it was 1100. I got tested at 15 it was 760. And 18 was 1190. I was so concerned bc I had a hard time sleeping, and I was just always on the move, and that led to heart problems eventually and slightly damaged the atrial walls. And I have to take meds now to lower it. So for anyone wanting to boost it just do it naturally and do not worry to much about it. I would rather be a normal range in the lower side than this bc this sucks.
I've seen some people online saying taking them as a way to push their growth potential higher than going back to being natty. And you see quite a few older celebrities clearly TRT now as well. Not easy being a natural lifter now days when all we see is people on steroids living their best lives, but until they release something with 0 side effects, I'll stick to my average genetics 😂

Jeff, i’m not sure framing it as an educated decision is even appropriate. The vast majority of people who are going to take steroids, do not have masters degree or doctorates, nor have they spoken with an expert.
I think this is giving tacit permission for people to take steroids if “it’s reasonable if you make an educated decision.”
Thank you for this information I been on the edge cause my boy wants me to hop on but this officially made that not happen natty 4L 🤞🏽💪🏽
Really helpful to know. My levels were below 200 so my doctor put me on TRT and now while they fluctuate somewhat, they're around 450 to 550. I briefly had a spike to 750 which left me feeling extremely energetic but things went back to my normal levels.
I like to hear these educates people
Can you do a video about the best eccentric motion exercises? I find them to be really useful at the end of a drop set when I can't do anymore reps.
How come you never extrapolate your findings jeff? For example “steroid user” is such a blanket term. Are you including people who need TRT in this term? What range of dosages and compounds are included? How about cycling on and off or cruising? How about what age you start, or how long youre on?
He does in the full video
Bro my jaw actually dropped when his test levels were 10x a natural high testosterone man
Bro thank you! My test was recently lower than usual but its still in good range. But other bodybuilders made me think i needed like 900
concise explanation.
Well said mate... Everyone has different
What about short term usage once or twice to help build muscle? Any studies on the long term effect of that?
Jeff looks phenomenal, and is a great example of a natural lifter! 👏👏👏
Imagine being this naive
We need more study on how low testosterone (TRT)
Impact longevity because they did a study on woman who did
(HRT)
And the impact on longevity was insane it boosted their health by miles
This is great info, but Jeff missed a golden opportunity to say “it was OVER 9000!!!!!!!”
This is why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique
Years ago there was a young man at a gym where I worked out. He was in decent shape. All of a sudden his gains went through the roof and he became huge. Was trying to get in shape to compete in a bodybuilding competition.
When he first started working out there he had a head full of beautiful blonde hair. After about a year of juicing he was balding at about as fast a rate as he was growing.
Great video and exactly how it should be…
Education about steroids, pros and cons, advising against it, but at the end of the day, it’s your choice.
I know people that take them and I tell them every day how bad they are for them, but they insist the juice is worth the squeeze
I’m ready to dabble in peptides. I’m recovering from a meniscus surgery and ended up straining or slightly tearing both of my hamstrings. I’m going to take BPC-157 and TB-500 to see if they are effective as said to be
I just stick with anavar which is mild and decent progress tbh amazing pump and strength
kinda was getting tempted to do it but now that i've seen this i'm never gonna do it ever
Something that bloodwork can't pick up is testosterone sensitivity. It's like comparing the sensitivity 2 people use without knowing their house's DPI
484 Good Job brother!!!
Please make a video on creatine induced insomnia in some lifters(includes me 😢)
HIS TESTOSTERONE LEVELS ARE OVER 9000!!!
Jeff tell me some best core exercise to get stronger
I feel like we should stop calling them “risks” because people are going to think “it wont happen to me” which is a mentality we shouldn’t support so we should call them just negative effects pretty much certain to happen
Stay natural unless bodybuilding paying your bills
Hey I wanted to ask does your Canadian gym have apparel ?
I would only consider some test or HCG when i get older or if I felt like i needed it
Jeff having my exact test level is pretty wild I’m not that much older than he is but still pretty crazy
“Steroids” as a term, is a blanket statement for an endless list of compounds. I’d be curious to know which ones really have which kinds of these effects. I mean all are damaging in their own way. I’d also like to see the risk vs reward ratio of certain SARMS vs steroids as well.
Well most steroids used for bodybuilding that work involve testosterone, so you’d be hard pressed to find a steroid that doesn’t rise your T levels
Very true. Glucocorticoids are notorious but, from personal experience, they can potentially increase exercise tolerance to the point that, with proper diet, exercise, and lifestyle, the benefits seem to potentially outweigh the risks for certain individuals suffering from crippling inflammation-related symptoms/conditions that aren’t effectively resolved by more conservative treatment methods like NSAIDs (Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). Even then, extreme caution should be exercised under a physician’s guidance as glucocorticoids delivered per orus (by mouth) can potentially predispose you to developing Cushing’s syndrome/disease, Cardiovascular disease, Addison’s disease, Type II Diabetes Mellitus, Hypothyroidism, Hypogonadism, Osteoporosis, loss of muscle mass, recurrent respiratory infections, and a whole slew of other horrible, nasty health complications. They truly are a double-edged sword, but when utilized appropriately for indicated inflammatory/endocrine conditions, they can not only save your life during life-threatening flares of disease activity, but they can also drastically improve quality of life and even assist in indicated individuals’ physical rehabilitation or pursuit of personal fitness/health/wellbeing. I am not a licensed physician nor should my words be misconstrued as medical advice.
@@DoormanSoorman well yes. I meant in the way of some are probably more liver toxic vs other side effects.
What I'm going to do is going to hit my natural limit to strength and see if I achieved my goals before ever considering steroids.

Jeff aint girl bro.....
As someone who has struggled with acne for many years and has finally got it under control, there is no amount of muscle steroids could offer me to consider taking them
Telling you something is bad for you isn’t an attack on your agency. People telling you that you’re making bad choices isn’t the same as taking away your choices; unless you’re insecure and seek external approval, which would lend an explanation as to why you as a non-athlete would be taking PED’s in the first place.
over 10000? we makin it out of namek with this one
I appreciate the honesty and position he has with steroids. It’s a choice and should be an educated one
I think the psychological effects play a big part too. Seeing all your muscle you've built up start disappearing when you come off the roids can take a mental toll and maybe cause a relapse. I can see it hard for some to just drop the juice.
Please make research videos about alcohol and workout
Bro you forgot to mention that it’s also illegal in most countries
Which makes it even more risky because of contamination
OVER 9000!!!!
Do you do sports based lifting?
You had me at hairloss.
Yo, this is sick!
Quick question, what if someone used small doses of steroids to stay in the high natural limit or slightly above natural. Will it still cause the same side effects? Also what are the best ways to increase your testosterone naturally?
gonna take a sec here to appreciate the beard 👌🏽 crispy
That sneaky Sam Sulek clip at the end😉😉 i see what u did 😉😉😉
Ya used to want to. Now I'm 36 never have used. But I'm happy I'm healthy and will live much longer than if I had used them.
It's over 9000.
What are the side effects of Creatine? I’ve always heard that it’s really helpful for building muscle mass, but are there any side effects that I should be aware of?
Can hurt your kidneys if you don't drink enough water but the average person Is fine / just stay hydrated
Also hair loss
^^ do not listen to this guy, 0 research proving that creatine causes hair loss 😂
I think he might be confusing it with testosterone (which causes your body to produce more estrogen/turns the testosterone molecules to DHT, which is what causes hair folicles to close up/hair fall out)
Also just FYI creatine is found naturally in red meat and other foods, creatine monohydrate is the most studied supplement ever so you can find plenty of facts online.
It makes your muscle cells retain more water and therefore be larger
Hard pill to swallow is that you’ll revert back to the way you were before you took them when you stop
Way less risk than 99% of current medications on the market today.
Yep, we know why the system don't want us to use them.
Bro doctors told me it was 1100. I got tested at 15 it was 760. And 18 was 1190. I was so concerned bc I had a hard time sleeping, and I was just always on the move, and that led to heart problems eventually and slightly damaged the atrial walls. And I have to take meds now to lower it. So for anyone wanting to boost it just do it naturally and do not worry to much about it. I would rather be a normal range in the lower side than this bc this sucks.
Okay Jeff what shirt is that because I need one
You need to pump those endogenous numbers up Jeff. You could gain an additional 5+ lbs of lean mass with optimal Test production.
He said acne and heart problems and I immediately thought "Sam Sulek" 💀😭😭
Never take steroids at any age it’s not worth the risk.
A problem with selling, but not using
Nice
When talking about the negative effects of testosterone, do you refer to abusing it or even just normal “clinical” trt?
I've seen some people online saying taking them as a way to push their growth potential higher than going back to being natty.
And you see quite a few older celebrities clearly TRT now as well.
Not easy being a natural lifter now days when all we see is people on steroids living their best lives, but until they release something with 0 side effects, I'll stick to my average genetics 😂
