- Investigating claims steroid use in gyms is on the rise. We hear from a user and a dealer as health experts say anabolic steroids are being used more than ever before. Doctors are warning about the long term dangers of using them. We see Gareth, who's 29 and has been using them for five years, undergoing a test to see if his health has been damaged. He says he likes how steroids make him feel and look. A steroid dealer also talks about how he knows he's breaking the law but sells them anyway. As well as how he's seen a big growth in demand from all ages, but especially young men, under pressure to have the 'perfect' body.
The interviewer is the kinda guy that gets a rush from going 5 mph over the speed limit
Hahahaha! XD
@W Jack Erm I think these bbc guys have far darker secrets
If he were driving in mph, he'd have a rush
@@lukemcinerny8220 Exactly these dudes joking. People that come off soft usually have literal skeletons in their closet. lol
D0ctorF0ster YOUR grammar is shit . Gtfo here with your edited comment that’s only one sentence long 😂😂 you dumbfuk tampon-boy
Steroids greatly boosted my fitness progress, enabling me to surpass previous milestones and achieve results more quickly. Their effectiveness depends on incorporating them wisely within a carefully designed regimen that prioritizes both growth and well-being.
I've been on TRT for about 8 months now and I can say at least for me it's changed my life. So many physical and emotional issues that this has changed. It has really helped. Plus changing my whole lifestyle, diet and exercise. I was 285, now I'm 235. I feel amazing.
Totally agree. Steroids helped me recover faster and maintain muscle mass, especially during intense training or after injury. It's amazing how they can support bone health as well, which is crucial for people with conditions like osteoporosis.
There’s no doubt to the benefits of steroids. Honestly, it has greatly impacted my life. It played a major role in achieving my desired physique. People should learn not to abuse these substances and act like they are all bad.
Hey everyone, I’m looking for reliable sources for both steroids and protein supplements. I want to make sure I’m getting them from trustworthy sources. For protein supplements, I’m also interested in recommendations for reputable brands. Any suggestions or advice on where to find safe and high quality options?
Jeremyproteins is the person you want. He's the most knowledgeable about steroids and muscle-building supplements that I know.
They should have checked his kidneys, liver, insulin resistance, testosterone production, blood pressure, and HDL
gomasonpatriot1 Stfu
If hes cycling and not using crazy doses those should all fall back to normal range in no time.
Hell some pros have been "on cycle" for 10+ years taking only a few weeks of a lower dose here and there.
The liver is the most resilient organ in the body.
Now dont get me wrong you can overdo iy and bad life habbits combined witj steroid use will exponentially augment your risks of permanent/severe problems.
Alcohol abuse drug abuse lack of sleep poor diet smoking will all make any of these problems much worse.
Everyone talks about how oral steroids are hard on the liver but one night of binge drinking does worse than an oral cycle.
Not to mention alcohol abuse will screw your natural hormone production extensively.
yup... why didnt they do all that thats crazy!
including his heart
@@pascaldesjardins5798 wrong, steroids enlarge the heart even if just cycles
Journalism is dead, this is heavily opinionated instead of being objective
AMEN!
Definitely a one sided investigation
Except it’s always harder for men to get the ideal body because we don’t just need to be thin, we need to be jacked too
Agreed. However, there is more pressure on women than men to look good.
@@anerdvirgin There's less pressure on women because men will have sex with anything. Women's standards are way way higher for the men they find sexually hot.
G I know it man. This idea that women are more pressured is fucking ridiculous

Skull-faced dealer makes a lot of sense

Power lifting skeletor
I took steroids for a couple of years in the early 2000s when I was involved in strength competitions against other gyms. Before that I trained natural for 8 years until I plateaued in my lifts. I think a lot of guys don’t really give themselves a chance to achieve that base before starting anabolics. I’m really glad I quit them when I did because now I hear of old gym buddies that took them for close to 10 years having heart attacks and kidney problems in their 30 and 40s.
I got off them also
The risk is not worth it
I had a vision of heart problems 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Not worth it!!
That’s 500mg+ a week. A 250mg a week cycle will do no harm at all and double or triple most people’s energy, libido and muscle gain.
Back in them days though, blood work and blood tests weren't frequently done by steroid users, there's your primary issue and 2nd they were probably using unhealthy doses.
@@David-ed1jm That’s not the solution because the same health and morality issues from anabolics still exist today.
I always knew Skeletor was on gear but to be selling them!
Omg these comments are killing me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine if anyone thought skeleton was natural
Sold them to he man
I have a friend that took steroids for 3 years and he was huge, he finally stopped and lost all his gains within 6 months. He is now very skinny considering where he was and doesn't look healthy at all. You either take them for life with the risks, or stop and be happy with what you look like. You cant add good genetics, you are born with what you have.
That seems utter crap he must of trashed his endocrine system. Didn't even bother to cycle off properly with a pct protocol to have effects that bad I've used gear for just over a year and came off nearly 4 months!! Didn't lose barely a kilo and that was at maintenance calories
soldier3335 is your friend happy now being skinny? Isn't he missing the time he was huge? what about depression?
@@borzymirsowianin2907 he's now a heavy drug user. Meth is his drug of choice, and he is always chasing some kind of high. He did try steroids again, but the drugs have a stronger hold on him, and he gave up the steroids pretty quick. Yes, he is depressed and doesn't have any direction in life, its sad to see.
All parties involved; the steroid using body builder, even the dealer are so eloquent.
It’s cause they’re British mate
500 for 6 month is much less than I thought..
Compared to drinking, smoking and lines once in a while, he’s definitely saving money..
It's not the cost of steroids that are expensive, it's usually the cost of food you need to eat to get gains
I used to spend 300 at the bar in an evening
Perfect health athletes have a naturally slightly thickened heart wall
Absolutely correct. Some natural athletes even have an enlarged heart above range.
Endurance athletes also have this.
Same here, after I left the Special Forces, they said my heart had that effect, but that I shouldn’t be worried and that it was because of the activity and exercise.
And some ugly asses have a big heart.💓
I just started TRT therapy for low T. I watched my best friend’s life turn amazing during the 4 years he has been properly prescribed test.
Everything I’m moderation and properly.
Cool bro hope it's all going well with your TRT just wanna share a legit and reliable source where you can get your T and gears of all kinds at a very low cost and package even comes with a user guide, workout and diet plan.

The only way steroids can harm you in any way shape or form is if you abuse steroids, eat unhealthy whilst on cycle or if you have pre existing health problems.
The guy under the mask (dealer) has been confirmed to be Simeon Panda.
The doctor was reaching. You could tell he didn't have much to go on. The medical evaluation was a letdown for them in their attempt to villainize steroids.
He's like, "Yeah I'll quit the bloody steroids. I'll just do meth with protein shakes for a bit instead."
Do steroids make you look old? The guy looks like he's in his 40s
when you're young you don't think about being old they will regret using it
Just checking his heart was pointless, also he is only 29 lets go back and see him at 39 and 49 and do a full medical review. Since the liver and kidneys are also damaged.
Finally someone with a brain, so many sted junkies coping here
I will continue to expose the STEROID LOSERS!
Stay natural buddy!
Tylenol is way more dangerous than testosterone!
0:46 i thought you were rapping there and actually liked it.
Joseph Sabry 😂😂😂
i feel like the interviewer felt attacked everytime he mentionned that steroids are like tobacco & alcohol haha
That first guy looks perfectly healthy
Lol at all these people saying he looks natty. You fools
@R J I highly doubt it dude. I know a few natty guys who think they're big and ripped, but in reality they're 190 lbs. at like 20% body fat. You're probably in the same boat.
Have 40 years of natural training messed with your brain? The fuck are you saying
@R J you're talking fucking shit now ..you do know it's humanly impossible to build muscle and be ripped or lean at the same time ? That goes for everyone on this earth that's how the human body works lol so piss off you fool
thank you for your comment ... Some people are just so stupid
Bulletstee no, it’s not impossible. You just won’t be very big or weigh a lot. You can be muscular and lean, you just won’t be very heavy or as heavy as you want to be doing things naturally.
They should have done a live autopsy on Rich Piana and show everyone what long term abuse does to you.. but I heard after this documentary another 100k people took steroids, as his heart was on point! 😁
Yeah because he used a fuckton of steroids. You can die by anything if you overdo it.
Piana took HGH, which is a different thing entirely
Add to that the cocaine and other drugs to top things off with.
You can not compare a normal Steroid User with Rich Piana, this man took absolutley everything for 20 Years non stop.
Know your fucking subject rich dies from cocain and for using roids and hormone growth for à fucking long time 😂😂look at Arnold insteed he live well because when you know how to take it they dont destroy toi its abusing them and mixing them with gh and other thing like that that kill people
0:07 no it's not. Men have been facing the 'ideal' man stereotype for decades as well.
yep, you beat me to it. Its been an issue for men at least since Arnold took the stage in bodybuilding.
It's rough to be buff. These results could have been achieved naturally. Doesn't seem he's abusing PEDs. Just a casual user.
People keep saying this but In reality i doubt they could be achieved naturally, maybe with another person with better genetics possibly but people underestimate just how hard it is to achieve a solid physique naturally. He also said he spends about 500 for 6 months, that is basically nothing compared to what a lot of these guys with god like physiques are taking
Very few people have a chance at looking close to that dude. Even for those who might it would be incredible taxing. Iit would have to become their lives more or less. Plenty of other shit to do.
-natty.
genetics vary greatly. Some guys look like shit after 10 years of lifting and some guys look like beasts completely drug free.
Most people don't even know how to train properly naturally. Those guys that want to rush things are the first to give up natty training and start juicing to speed up the process.
Also media makes steroids look bad af when in reality it kills very very few in a year. Alcohol kills thousands but no one talks about it lol
TheRascal5678 is day he wasn’t honest about how much he spends. No way 6 months is £500 on 16 week cycles. 10ml of test is at least £30 plus whatever he stacks with it. He’d need a lot of ml’s of whatever he took.
Nope! Not that ripped
Guy being interviewed: "I’ve done my research"
The same guy two minutes later: "there’s two types of steroid" 🙈
Compare his results to people that did heavy drinking/smoking for 5 years
12:00 'We do think your're at the upper limit of normal for heart wall thickness, due to your weightlifting AND steroid use...' So, exercise is bad for the heart...?
If the heart grows too big then it can be dangerous and if it grows too large because of excessive steroid use then yes because its beyond his natural limit
It’s crazy people take steroids just to look like a normal person that works out.
A 5 year heroin cycle would be much worse..💯
It's obvious that steroids have a lot of side effects. I do believe though if you hit a plateau in bodybuilding it's ok to do a cycle if you have the self discipline to tell yourself that's it. My buddy did that. He put on about 25 pounds of muscle, when he came off it he kept roughly 18 pounds. Never take steroids of any kind if you are new in the gym. You will have newbie gains, also you don't want to get used to that amazing feeling when you're on them from the start. Anyone who is considering taking them should give themselves at least a good year in the gym!
Kyle P. This 👌👌
I'd say ten years at least. I've been training 38 years and I'm still improving at almost 54 years of age. Only recovering takes more time.
There is no need to take steroids. I am a 50 year old natty with average genetics training since 1985. Never took juice. I do 8 to 10 reps with 95lbs dumbbells on the flat press. I stand in the mirror beside juicers and there is not that much of a difference. Many guys come to me for advice. Getting big and strong naturally requires immense knowledge and commitment to natural bodybuilding techniques, but the reward is being 50 and still holding my own against juicers half my age. A guy in his 20s is bursting with natural testosterone. With the right training, diet and resting protocols he can get huge naturally...trust me. Look at Steeve Reeves
Gareth is in reasonable shape but his physique is completely achievable naturally.
Bro I love hitting the gym, don’t tell me I’m pressured or sum
"you tire quicker, you ache more...' that's apart of working out.
I think hes so handsome and masculine. I hope he manages to protect his health.

Stay natural buddy!
“Everything we do in life carries a risk of heart attack, stroke, blah blah blah.” People only say this as an excuse to justify what they’re doing. You already said the real reason why you take steroids: it makes you feel “powerful.” Just respond with “I’m good with the realities of the risk.” All that extra is unnecessary.
If you get addicted to opioids, people find pity on you. If you use anabolic steroids, they condemn you.
Because steroids are very very harmful bro.
Is the ‘actor’s me voice idris elba cause sure sounds like him 😂
If you take steroids on a plan, get in for a period and get out and rest ,you are safe, no serious side effect or damage, you are totally fine, i did abuse steroid myself but did not have a plan ,so i had side effect like gyno , i did remove it with surgery
the key is get in and get out with pct .
They need to do another one where they tell you about the risk of being fat, eating fast food, sugar etc
7th January, 2024, Today, Steroid has become a disease. Young people specially 14 to 20, People are abusing steroids like ever. Every now and then teenagers are dying because of heart attacks. Parents, please, keep eyes on your children. As a natural lifter I assure you just in 3 years of minimum hard work they can achieve their dream physic. I promise.
I dont understand why people are talking about that he doesnt look like he is on steroids. he does, he is just not shredded. I know guys smaller than him on gear, their diet is the key, steroids makes your muscle grow but food is what builds it and hard work. People think that steroid users must look like monsters.. Nope. Lance Armstrong used PED and most of the guys I know in the gym used them , or are using gear. Also not every steroid has the same effect, also doses.
Legend has it that if you take too much steroids you develop tribal tattoos on your arms
Tom C laughed so hard to this 😁
Tom C and a douchebag beard
You develop a chain-link tattoo around your bicep that becomes cringy after 2008

DANGERTASTIC correction meth and heroin are the worst bitch
So, he's perfectly healthy. Given the BBC's propensity for exaggeration I'm amazed they aired this.
AMYSLOAN TV lol who ever said smoking is good?
The problem with this health check-up is that they did not do one before he started. This test says nothing scince we cant compare the difference before and after.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1767992/
"The selected studies involved 42 weight or power lifters, 40 body builders, 50 wrestlers, 25 throwers, and 21 bobsledders-a total of 178 athletes-and 105 controls. Left ventricular internal diameter, wall thickness, and left ventricular mass were all larger in the athletes."
All athletes have thicker heart wall. It's a result of the required blood pressure for the muscles (wich is larger than a non-athlete) to work properly under heavy load.
Anabolic androgenic steriods affect skeletal muscle gene expression, not the heart scince it's a cardiac muscle. It's easy to sit here and write comments about his health when you know nothing about the science behind it. Of course AAS can damage your body, but that's highly depending on doses and types of steriods (some are worse than others obviously).
The only thing they say with this test is "yeah you have athletes heart, cause you're an athlete" so nothing is wrong with your heart.
They should have analyzed his blood also, that would tell much more about his overall health (HPTA bloodwork, red blood cell count, cholesterol, AST, ALT).
1) He is currently healthy but is in the "at risk" demongraphic and the doctor even states that continued use will have a negative affect on him, remember he is young and hasn't been training for all that long.
2) Whoever said doctors are useless is a complete and utter moron, no more shall be said about that
3) The whole "they didn't do tests prior, so these aren't valid results" is a stupid argument, you don't need prior tests to determine if someone is healthy or unhealthy, but you need them to show how your health is changing, which wasn't the purpose of this experiment. The doctor even states that in the future their may be complications, if tested again, then they would be able to determine if this is the case.
The effects come to get you when you hit your mid 40'when cognitive decline "getting old" really starts . especially if you were destined to suffer from anything in the first place ie cholesterol issues heart issues or particular cancers,but we all have freedom to choose our trip
The dealer is right tho, it's their choice.
Just like people that sell alcohol or tobacco they know it's harming other people only difference is that those drugs are legal.
what about abortion when there is an actual victim its "your" body your choice, but with other things the choice is made for you total police state nonsense
The largest killer in the west is obesity. Is mcdonalds evil for selling burgers? Or is it the fault of the fat fuck who chooses to eat their shitty food? The dealer is just providing a service, he is morally no worse than the guy selling tobacco at a corner shop.

@@amadiohastruck4331 don't be stupid and take stupid amounts. Research what you take
To be fair, they don't really test most of the things that tend to be more dangerous and long-term results of steroid use, like natural hormone production and whatnot, which would have been very difficult for them to get a good test of within the time they'd be filming this, and likely would have required this guy to start coming off cycle.
500mg test e a week is the best cycle ever, safest too
If you're prepared to have your balls shrink to the size of raisins and have a nonexistant sex drive as well as long term effects on your heart and hormone production, then sure fuck it take em.
Now do this test to a person who drinks alcohol or smokes. The result would be worse
Exactly. Put someone who doesn´t workout and has any addiction, and you´ll find tons of shit going wrong.
With certainty.
Now do this test to a person who drinks, smokes, does drugs, and masturbates too much. The result would be much worse.

so the doctor basically told him that his heart is perfectly fine after using test for 5 years and he was just warning him for the future just to dramatize the documentary since nothing was wrong with his heart
Literally repeated what he said earlier in the documentary
lmfao exactly, these types of videos really want to fear the use of steroids. I bet you, if he was to come off cycle and stayed natural, his heart would've been better than. This video never showed us his bloodwork on his lipids, testosterone production, liver, or cholesterol etc.. absolute waste

I'm on TRT myself for over two years now. The biggest thing I learned is that you have to be super vigilant of your red blood cell count. My T levels went way high after I changed my application spot to upper arms only, and it shot my red blood cells and Blood Pressure through the roof. I had to go get a pint of blood drawn to get it down. Now I don't screw around and go with the old spot, am happy with the healthy levels TRT gives me, and don't try to push it up higher. I also don't skip blood work anymore. 😁

edits out portion where Gareth asks where the toilet is and proceeds to pin his left butt cheek
This host's attitude tho
So his heart function was still considered normal 🤣🤣🤣
They really thought interviewing him during a neck tattoo was a good idea?
Neck tattoo, lads lads lads
I really don't get the fuss about roids. People smoke, drink or over eat. They all get stigmatised for it, but none to the extend PED users get. As long as you don't compete in any sport that forbids it, I think it is totally fine to do it.
I wouldn't do it for health reasons but I also wouldn't judge somebody over using.
they come with serious side effects.
@@monopthalmoss No shit... The point is that it's the end user's decision if he wants to accept those risks.
Because its called being a
PUSSY
probably because the average person knows almost nothing about roids other than "it makes you stronger" "Its cheating" "its illegal". and i agree with you its stupid to judge someone who you dont know over using
@@ApEx1HP Don't know which country are u from but in mine hospitalization and public health are "free" which mean u don't have to have any insurance to be healed in a hospital because community pay via taxes. So my money go to heal this guys. This is my problem with roid users.
Also roid rage is a thing.
I have a neutral perspective on steroids, but watching the reporter have a completely biased view and try to insist he’s right, only to get completely shut down by logical and genuine facts from the steroid user, dealer, and doctor was fucking good
6:34 -" this is something young men are not geared up for"....not the best choice of words haha
I mean some people kill themselves everyday drinking, smoking and doing other drugs! I see no issues if a person wants to do this and if they are they likely aren't doing the others...
Jesus Christ in all honesty if you're random gym goer wants to take roids and lie about it I see no problem but if you're making money off your image/muscle's and claiming natty then in my eyes that is fraud.
Lying's a problem. Say you have red hair and dye it and you date someone then the dye wears off or they see other hairs or so on and they don't like red hair (no offence to red hair, i like it but I;m using it as an example) then that's a problem or them things birds wear that cover fat and it turns oput they're fat. like I said i have no problem but if it's nothing to be ashamed of why lie? I know loads of lads on the juice and they work harder than anyone down the gym but they admit it though and I respect and honest man. i see no reason to condone lying
Jesus Christ
People have to be careful about letting everyone know they use steroids. At least in the USA because it’s illegal. Can’t just be admitting it to everyone.
I'm from the UK though and it is legal to take them here, just can't sell them without a license. Like the o.c said it's like drinking or smoking in the UK. You can take them but can't sell them without a license. So unless you're a dealer there's no reason to lie unless you're ashamed.
Luke et what's your cycle bro
You should have put Gareth's results up against a similar aged guy that smokes, eats pizza and drinks on the weekends eg average Joe. I wonder who would be at the most risk of strokes, heart attacks and a shortened life?
That's a non sense comparation. Why don't you put that on a cancer patient? Or on some drug addict? Because the out of question comparation will arise...that's the same with your proposal
@@vlahell so you're basically saying that this comparison is bogus because the dude on roids is healthier? Cuz that's the only way your statement would make any sense
@@coachreenasharma It's not healthier at all, i swear you people underestimate how powerful steroids are in changing and breaking the whole body balance.
And by the way, bringing another extreme like a fast food eaters or smoker is just cope and childish and shows how much you want to justify your behaviour, want to do it? Fine, but don't come to us and say it's healthy, because it's not
I've actually been told by a doctor while I was abroad that testosterone in low doses it's actually beneficial for older men. Your likely to have more problems with low testosterone than you are having optimal testosterone. Also has a massive impact on depression. Fixes depression without all the sides of anti depressants that a doc wouldn't think twice about prescribing you. When your 80 your virtually crippled. I wonder if that's because you've virtually no testosterone 🤔 🤔. No muscle, weak bones and a sun dried prune for a cock. Pharmacy's don't want us to live longer or stay healthy because the money doesn't come in. There's a difference between steroid use and steroid abuse. Granted he's not on trt doses.
Smart fella here
I really wish I could like this comment 1000 times, cause I would.
Taking testosterone can be beneficial if you are hypogonadel. But you can't really talk about optimal testosterone levels since it depends on the individual. Some people can have low test but be very test sensitive and thus be fine. For example if you look at the test levels of the olympians they where all over the chart and i actually think the average between them where even lower than the general average. Taking TRT is however not going to help you live longer since testosterone have some adverse health effects, but it might help you live better. Also taking low doses of test is probably less dangerous than drinking and for sure less dangerous than smoking.
If your old I think it’s fine to go on steroids, your body doesn’t produce as much test and if you already have children then what are you risking?
I don’t think you realise the difference between hormone treatment and anabolic steroids enhancing muscle growth my guy. They’re different treatments, yes hormone treatment is fine and common in older men in women to help maintain a healthier body, what’s in this video here is well above that recommended threshold.
The dweeb interviewing with glasses , has he even set into a gym ?
That guy won't stop using just bc of a diagnostic
the doctor basically said go on then keep using em ur perfectly fine

Best voice actor ever 9:18
not the same pressure as women faced at all. women only had to not eat too much!
To everybody thinking he's small, he's nearly 200lbs with only 10% body fat. That's bigger than his frame could ever hold naturally. Yes, people can get bigger than that on steroids, but those are just mass monsters. Most mens physique guys would never want to be a bulbous block of useless muscle like that.
Brian Kennelly thank you!!!!!
Everyone doesn’t want to be 250 plus.
Big Shawty NOBODY STARTS LIFTING WEIGHTS TO BE SMALL
you mean ppl don’t wanna be 250lbs after they realize how hard it is to be 250lbs therefor give up & settle for less smh
Dylan Walsh dude thats true if ur over 200 lbs ur most likely an ugly looking monster
Sf3 lmao I’m over 200lbs
So was Arnold who most these ppl jerk off too. “ mass monsters” over 200
*wears skull mask and sells drugs*
"if I can help them not to hurt themselves"
That said he talks a lot of sense so fair play
9:46 skeletor got buff
TrickTappic* lol
TrickTappic skeletor was always buff lmao
I will definitely use steroids once I hit 50s, because my body can not produce as much hormones as I used to , steroids will give me a lift
A lift into an early grave.
@@evandempsey7613 nonsense, fast food on the other hand...
@@evandempsey7613 it's called TRT fuckhead, there is zero to no damage to the body
just let it go and become a fat old man
@@evandempsey7613 Many people get described testosterone. Even teenagers who don't get into puberty fast enough. After 40 your testosterone levels start dropping quite quickly, all you do then is just compensating if you take low doses (which is what most amateurs already take). The problems start when you raise your testosterone levels way above what they're supposed to be, because you create hormone imbalances.
The doctor's acting literally made me laugh out loud. It doesnt take longer than 10 seconds to see that the interviewer took this production very personally with the editing, the questions, and the dialogue that no doctor would say like that to a guy who it seems like knows more about steroid usage than him. This reminds me of the scared straight pieces they used to do except the bald jealous uninformed moron version
" I've done my research and the dealer said they're safe to use"
😆😆😆
😂😂
😂🤣
Just let him fucking get on with it. Why don't the BBC go around following everyone who sniffs coke every weekend?
they can't make documentaries about themselves
That's what' I don't get people can drink them self to he'll every weekend. and smoke that's seen as normal.
"plan 4"- WRITE STEROIDS in capital letters to make it look like you are shouting STEROIDS becasue speaking louder makes you more correct
>stay natual
You are using a computer, the internet, wearing manufacture clothes with artificial fabrics, in a room that can be air conditioned or heated, you have cushioned rubber shoes and are probably alive today due to Vaccinations you got as a child. tell me more about being natural :^)
People saying it could be achieved naturally, you're not wrong for the most part. But genetics do play a part. He very well could have hit a genetic wall.
That can't be achieved naturally. Most people have a very distorted view of natural. Naturally most people will never even come close to that. Only a few have the genetics for it.
Are you kidding me ? Do you wanna tell me that his physique cant be achieved without steroids ? Wtf i train for 2 years and have a greater physique than him
@@P0Lak2012 I doubt it. You look at yourself in the mirror and it looks way better than in a video. Take full body pics and compare, I doubt you have a better physique.
@@jasonm7684 oh no trust me and actually its the other way around. On vids and pics u look always better.
Im broader than few youtubenodybuilders which i have met.
People look big on pics and vids.
Best example: jeff nippard.
He looks sooo huge.
I was with him on a fitness event and took pics with him he looks so small next to me like he would be my child
@@P0Lak2012 Anyone can be big bud. I am 255 and huge, I would probably dwarf you but I am not lean right now and wont be until my cut. Upload proof you look way better than this guy. I doubt it 100%. Upload a pic to imgr.
