I understand you point, but sometimes question is more effective than answer. If you ask Mike has he used steroids and he just says no. Are you satisfied? But if he tells you that dude, I squated 550 at the age of 15 and have done this consistantly 30 years - got my point?
Mike is amazing at avoiding the topic, leading the person who asked the question down a road that brings in other topics, and redirecting the topic back to the person with questions himself. He’s just as good at that than being a model
@I was Here Not really. Things like acne and gyno are a rookie mistake, you very rarely see that on a pro stage, its rare even at amateur shows. As far as health longevity, it depends on how greedy you get with your cycles and what you're taking. There are dozens of steroids, some with more sides than others. For instance, a relatively conservative dose of testosterone at 200 mg a week is very doable for 3 months. On the other hand, 3 months of something like anadrol at 100 mg a day would be a very bad idea. A steroid documentary you might find interesting is Bigger, Stronger, Faster.
Mike O hern natural 😁. Theres more chance of Elvis landing on top of the Whitehouse with martians. Than Ohearn being natty. You have to be 100% stupid to believe it. Nobody gets that big with that bodyfat natty. Not yesterday. Not today. Not ever.
I guarantee every single person who claims Mike is on gear never worked out almost every single day for 4 decades. So until they do that naturally for 40 years, they really have no place to say anything, and should really just keep their mouths shut and just enjoy the sport. Whether hes on gear or not, you dont know for sure cause you aren't him. But you can test it for sure by doing it yourself. Too bad 99.99% of people don't have the work ethic to do what mike does whether using gear or not. Mike has taken many drugs tests over the years and never failed one yet soooo
Gareth Judd I would vote for him if he became politician. He would be the first politician to ever legalise Tren and would thereby do a huge favour to society.
He never answered the steroid question with a yes or a no. He totally avoided the question by redirecting about some other BS. He’s on roids............period!
It's all good man. We all know the industry is based on roids. It's all smoke and mirrors. 5his is what America is founded on.....Get called out and look everyone in the eye and lie your ass of...knowing everyone knows your full of shit lol. I could care less if these guys are enhanced. No matter what u feel about roids, they do not just magically make you grow. You have to work out 3 CS as hard to make gains and also take copious amounts of supplements just to protect your organs. I just think it doesnt matter if they're taking roids but what makes it horrendous is that they just blatantly lie about the usage. BB is like Boxing and MMA. The business is all run by the Mafia. Dont ever fool yourself about this little fact.
Exact same answer Hulk Hogan gave to arsenio hall when asked about steroids. "Look how big I was as a kid" That's not an answer that's dodging the question.
There’s only one way to know. We need to get some calipers and check his balls size. It’s the ONLY way to know truly. Anything under a grape (not a raisin) is indicative of steroid usage
Great physique, arrogant fuck, great genetics. If he’s not juicing, his genetics should be bottled up and sold for millions. He possibly could be a one in a billion freak that comes once in a lifetime. It’s no wonder he is so narcissistic!
2:35 he's flexing his arm and coming closer to the camera to appear bigger... He also seems to use lifted boots and shoes even being 6'3... What an insecure of a man, his chicken nugget must be 2" inches flaccid 4" hard.
Mike, whether you’re on or have never taken gear, I just want you to know that I love ya, man. You’re an all around decent human being and a great source of motivation. Keep living your life, man. You look awesome.
I can bet everything i own he's been roiding since he was a kid. You don't look like that at 13 all natural. If his parents were into bodybuilding they made it available to him. Richard Sandrak anyone, remember him?
There are plenty of dudes on drugs that look like SHIT they’re not magic pills. And like Shawn said when you come off you feel like garbage and it effects your training
@@satyameternal4931 I was saying that if he was indeed not on steroids he should have nothing to defend. btw he probably doesnt even feel the need to say anything because the youtube community already did it for him.
He's trying to say he didn't take roids because he was big when he was younger, he probably started then..I bet he only takes it less then bodybuilders do that's why he says he doesn't take steroids..he just went around the question, he didn't even answer it, so the proves he takes it..who cares if he does, I don't, now because u can tell that's he lied about it and he talks about himself too damn much, I might not follow him anymore
I just turned 51 and started working out when I was 7. Watching Mike's interview brought back memories for myself. I have never used steroids and when I started lifting I wanted to be the strongest man in the world. I had that drive for several years. I remember always wanting to lift heavy things. At the age of 14 I picked up the back of my neighbor's Mercury 4 door Lynx and enjoyed picking up the backs of different cars for a period of time. The desire was always strong and I always did it in good fun and spirit. I always enjoyed helping others in strength conditioning. I wish I had been able to continue on without taking breaks but things happen in life. Even to this day I enjoy lifting my weights but no longer strive for strength, just toning and conditioning. I find Mike to be a class act and always enjoy learning new things from him. This man really knows what he is talking about and one of his most powerful assets is being humble and respectful to all. I see no arrogance at all in Mike and he truly understands what life is really about. That's what allows him to continue on after all these years and to have such a powerful impact on all. Thank you Mike, I really respect you. Keep up the good work!
jay longton great reply. I’m also very passionate about working out and I have ever since I started. I believe he’s natural because of how he thinks and also the way he lives his life. Such great character and very smart and humble. Physique wise and strength wise I can see him being natural because I’m completely natural and don’t take even any supplements yet I’m more developed and stronger than many. He’s a lot taller than me so it’s more impressive but ratio wise his numbers and mine are similar.
Like it or not. Mike still looks good maybe even his best going into his 50s. Most of us can only wish to be this healthy in our 40s let alone 50s. Keep up the good work Mike.
Mike, I’m 43 and I’ve always thought bodybuilding was about looking the same from when I was 23 until my time comes. I have found you a great motivator and a genuine person. Keep up the good work. May your dogs live long lives and change those lives whom they touch.
It's complete BS a 15 year old that isn't a fat fuck could bench at Max about 230 and that's peak strength with a lot of size (not to much fat but still a good amount so ur stronger)
christian nilsson he said he benched 275 at 14 and at 15 he hit 400 bs it’s a lie, maybe 300 bench but 400 nahhh that’s roids, I’m 16 and I started 6 months ago and I just now hit 285 it’s hard af
christian nilsson sounds like my high school. Was common for us back in late eighties early nineties to do those numbers in weights with No steroids and we dominated the weight room and football field. We ate a lot of amino acids horse size pills from vitamin store and lots of food. Frfr. Yep.
I went to a bodybuilding show in Chattanooga just to meet this guy. He is gigantic and looks like a real life superman. He lit up the whole crowd with his epic guest posing and stayed to take pics with every last person who was in line. This guy is an unbelievable human being a great role model for bodybuilding and wish people would stop hating on him because they lack his God given gift and work etc Because of him am inspired never to touch steroids because he has the best physique I've ever seen
How old are you? Anyway people hate because they hate liers!! If you honestly think he is natty then there really is no help for you!!! You would need a propper genetic disorder that nobody has ever had before to get anywhere near his size and lean gains!! Tell me are you near his size etc considering all the motivation he has instilled in you? You must be 275lbs of ripped muscle now then lol!! You see for most people he would have the opposite effect and turn them to steroids because they can't actually achieve what they thought was a natural achievement and as such used as a role model! People wouldn't hate if they weren't lied to. Its pathological with that guy, look at the pics of him at 16, he is no where near 275 lbs as he claims. What do you think he does different to anyone else? When he was next to rich piana they looked identical and rich is a lifelong serious PED abuser! You telling me he somehow managed to be the same as piana without drugs...... you need an IQ test mate
Here's a weird one.. When I was 15 in the early 80s, competed as a powerlifter in a couple meets in Washington state. I remember seeing Mike at the meet in Spokane , he was way too heavy for the juniors and lifted against men.. No joke, this guy was a beast at 14 or 15, think he's the same age as I am. Anyway, on or off the juice doesn't matter because he is genetically gifted period.. Good man who gives his time with such generosity, that is all that matters.. Much love to you
We get it... its just you can't be that workhorse for 40 years without the drugs...again if you can look like this without the drugs why would anyone use...he's definitely dodging the already known truth.
Mike O’Hearn is an athlete , he’s 6”3 , eats clean all year round and has been training heavy since he was 8 , don’t understand why people think you can’t be 260 and lean without being on steroids 🤷🏻♂️ , I mean let’s take away steroids for a second , providing you only trained , ate and rested , are you saying it’s not possible to be super strong and lean with a solid foundation of muscle over decades of lifting ? If not , what’s the point in anyone being “natural” cos otherwise you’re just gonna get met with a jealous bunch of sheep that have to say “ yeah he looks great but he’s definitely on steroids “ do your homework , he’s clean
Paul James Connelly hey bro. I’m selling the Brooklyn Bridge. Hit me up if you’re interested. I’ll give you a great deal. You could put up some toll booths and recoup your money pretty fast. Let me know fam.
^^^Exactly. I think Mike's incredibly impressive, but these people who are so desperate to believe Mike's natural haven't done any research on human physiology, fat-free-mass-index, genetic potential, etc. They're either too lazy to do the research, or too stupid to understand it. They also clearly haven't trained hard for over a decade, because then they'd personally know what happens when you start to approach your genetic limit. The one thing that always makes me laugh is their "he's been training for 30+ years, bro!" argument. These idiots truly believe that if you just keep training hard and eating right, you'll keep packing on muscle, as if after 15 years of training as an adult, you can still pack on pounds of muscle each year. LOL...if they only knew how stupid they sound...
truly an inspiration man... To be benching over 270 pounds at the age of 14.... is truly remarkable and i think alone, speaks testament to this man's genes. I don't think mike wanted to outright say it to keep himself from sounding cocky, but the man is a genetic freak and i think we can all see that. I mean his arms in his 40s look better than most men, juiced up and in their 20s, it's insane. So that being said please keep doing what you do, Mike. You are a huge inspiration to me and many others and i appreciate your honesty more than anything else you have to offer. You keep it real and respect your viewers with the truth and that is why you are one of the greatest in this sport, keep doing what you do best! Mike o' Hearn for bodybuilding president people!!!!
Big mike. This is jr Rogers from ky!! I'm a big fan bro!! I give u all the props!! I am a 56 yr old I have been working out 44yrs. I have all the respect for you!! Everyone wants to hate on people that work hard for what they have!!! Anything said about you out of context is just haters bro!!! Your a great motivator my man!!! Keep up the good work, and always keep God first and you will go far!!
When the subject of steroids came up, Mike exhibited absolute classic body language and signs of lying. Assertively taking over the interview, bullying his way into directing the conversation to unrelated stuff he chooses to talk about (to stop unwanted questioning), raised heart rate and breathing, unease, hand movement and general painfully obvious avasion tactics. Unfortunately for Mike, he is not a good liar. Then when he's spoken a lot about nothing, they have to move on to another topic. Then Mike relaxes again.
Shawn Ray is one of the most under rated, smart, aesthetic bodybuilders... and for mike to still lie in front of Shawn Ray's face. Lol so much disrespect.
shawn ray is definitely one of the top 5 bodybuilders, aesthetically hes arguably my favorite! if he was a couple inches taller he would have won many mr olympias....
@@nenad8600 Flex was 2nd best of all time after Ronnie, Kevin was a tiny tiny bit ahead of Shawn Ray when both at their peak while Lee Priest is funny compared to Ray.. Dexter too isn't better I believe..
@@nenad8600 i personally like the aesthetics so much more of guys like flex wheeler, kevin levrone, and shawn ray compared to the monsters like jay cutler, dorian yates, and ronnie coleman...i think that flex wheeler is probably the best of the best in that regard! guys like shawn ray and dexter jackson definitely have a big disadvantage to the taller and bigger guys for sure!
My cousin was a Freak of Nature. He boxed at 145 welterweight, Ripped to shreds. He started to lift weights and I swear he got up to around 165, 170lbs in no time. Ripped and all natural! He looked great. I asked him Why did he stop lifting? He just didn`t like the way it felt packing the size and weight.
Arnold has had numerous open heart surgeries. Clear case of steroid abuse. You do juice, your muscles grow. Heart is a muscle and grows as well no way for it to shrink. Many steroid users have heart problems. I believe Mike is natural. If he has any type of heart issues that would definately raise the brows.
Godfather ..Arnold had heart valve replacement! Not related to steroids. It’s a birth defect that usually needs to be fixed at some point later in life steroids or not!
I am 65 and been in and out the gym for 51 years. My goal has been to always improve. That is strength, technique, change of routine, and trying to maintain healthy eating habits. I want to thank you for discussing and then executing what you do at the gym. Most of all I appreciate the lifestyle out of the gym with family, friendships, your passion for the well being of others and teaching an old dog some new tricks.
Hi Mike. I just talked to my trainer and friend Reinhard Jaeger from Switzerland. He told me to say hello to you and send you a hug! He thinks the world of you and told me that you were really natural.
Natty or not the dude is a monster and he has earned the body he has today. He is one of the gurus for body building on TH-cam today and I love his content.
Nobody is saying Mike doesn’t work hard, or doesn’t have a good physique, or isn’t a nice guy. The point is the community has become tired of being lied to. Clearly you have no idea the damage these lies cause - it’s a huge deal and Mike lacks serious moral character.
@@freelancerAM, since u are calling him a liar u should challenge him and approach him and offer to pay to get him tested, but like so many others u'd prob rather talk fat generic crap droning on till ur grave
re: fan base. Hey Mike, You said you still get people up to 50 years old loving it. Dude, it's bigger even than you think. I' m 68 and I'm doing it ALL! (No drugs tho', never wanted that) Love your work! Keep on truckin'.
I'm always torn with Mike. I enjoy his lifting content and appreciate his effort day in day out with regards to 'gettin' it done'. However he's flying a little too close to the sun these days with this type of content. If you're gonna fuel the fire with the steroid videos then cut the crap and have the doc come in, run the blood tests and display your results otherwise this is nothing more than an attempt to get clicks and piss off those who believe you aren't natural as well as mislead the youth you so hope to influence with pseudo science that sort fits the narrative but not really and half baked trips down memory lane with regards to you're weight and numbers. It's also a risky little game to comment on others character when they have every right to call you out. Also with regards to your natty face, it's just plain rude to think so little of your followers on this topic. A simple youtube search will show u looking puffy as hell like you literally just got out from the botox clinic. You're forehead has zero movement when conveying emotion. I'm sure all these q's where agreed upon before hand etc so there is little to no risk here of being caught off guard and I've literally just fed the beast by even bothering to reply to this asinine crap but anyways. Have a good day people!
J0hnnie i was actual thinking to my self they should ask him about the work he has gotte. Done to keep his looks but either way zero fucks giving its his life
Don't really care if this person is on ped or not....just look at his mental....at 50 he still can out perform a younger athlete and .....he is so consistent on his body...that's what we need to learn from him And that's what made him a legend.
Whether Mike is on steroids or not I don't care and none of us should. He is a legend and all those guys hate him are nowhere near him and will never be.
I remember having a brief chat with Mike after pre-judging at the Cal around 2002. He was incredibly cool with zero attitude. Great dude. Complete package.
I totally agree with you. Really nice to hear when someone is just as nice as they appear on media. There are so many examples of famous people that seem cool in movies and media but in public with fans, you get a totally different person. I am a pretty good judge of people from first impressions and I could tell Mike was the real deal and a super down-to-earth type of guy, even though his appearance is that of a "Greek Adonis"! (People often associate good-looking people as being fake, phony, no personality. Just visit Los Angeles and you will see what I mean) This guy is one of my role models who gives me the motivation and drive to work out and not miss days! He also inspires me because of his great personality, and always positive attitude about life and his empathy, love, and compassion for others who don't have his blessings or have serious medical issues that make our own problems pale in comparison. I could also tell he had a huge heart and a lot of love in him. When he told the reason why he travels with his dog everywhere. He got me on that one! I don't tear up much but that got me pretty emotional when he started telling the story of the dog putting smiles on kids' and adults' faces that have been broken, damaged, hurt, and that have much more serious problems and issues than most of us will ever have. Such a great story. Maybe he truly is a Greek God after all? Lol... Mike is what a true "role model" is all about. Ps I don't care if he takes or doesn't take roids, he is a great man and has a big heart! That's all that matters to me.
Great interview. I appreciate how you kept your training down to the basic science. This what it looks like when we say "better with age". I just turned 48. I got out of the military in 1995 and was able to get back in @ 42 in 2016 because how well I was physically.
So if you have nothing to hide, why not just answer the question, yes or no?, did you ever do steroids?, I love how you swerved around it. If you are proud of the results, then don't be embarrassed of what got you there. I still will say congratulations for the hard work that you put in, there is no steroids that will motivate you to the gym to workout, but own what you do or don't do, because swinging around the question leaves alot a shade to hide under.
Just to start this off, Mike, i'm 19, I love you and have loved you and respected you since I was 15, but when it comes to the question of steroids my respect drops. I'm not saying that I know all, but I know how to see, and I see it in the gym all of the time, watch videos with guys (Simeon panda, who says he's natural HA, and Bradley Martin) who use(d), and even a good buddy of mine admits that he's done steroids and he looks just like you. Also, Calum Von Moger and Steve Cook are around your stature, weight, and aesthetics and they admit to the usage of steroids, yet you don't. You have nothing to lose so why not just admit it brother? People will respect you more if you admit to it. If you love this sport and believe like you said you do, please just stop lying. Anyways, Much Love.
He went from lifting 275 at 14 to over 400 at 15 man over 125lbs in a year he progressing fast 😂I wish he would be honest with peds cause I like the titan
At a accomplishable rate, the man has status, money, face, height, body, social skills and intelligence, yet he's a lying s.ack of s.hit and does it for NOTHING at all, he must have a PATHETIC WIENER.
I mean he's built his whole career based on being "natural" so he can't really ever admit it until he's old and retired so what do you expect him to say LOL. Absolutely the guy's on some shit.
Mike could be lifetime on hgh and do everything with super small doseages and diet lifetime. He is a true best user ever if you know what I mean. This man knows how to be healthy and that is hes biggest strenght. Right Mike? I respect you. You know how to do things smart
I’ve watched this interview probably once a year since 2018 and it’s interesting how it’s different to me each time. I’m 48 now and have been back lifting for the last 5 years. This time around I feel I’m wiser about my training and nutrition albeit not perfect by any stretch. Gotta say though, I respect Mike more and more with each passing year. I admit a few years ago I was kind of blasting him thinking he was on gear and didn’t really listen to what he was saying as much. Now after seeing what I can still Accomplish at my age, I’m more intrigued by Mike’s advice and philosophy. Honestly these days I’m going to say I could care less if Mike has ever taken gear or not because he is the epitome of consistency and work ethic. This man lives and breathes weightlifting and I absolutely cherish his passion for it. We are blessed to have this man around giving us knowledge and motivation to be better every day. This guys passion bleeds through and yes he is in business to make money but I believe he genuinely wants to help people and share his knowledge and experience. I appreciate Mike O’Hearn!
Mike I have followed you since the 90's. Thank you for being an incredible role model and for your contributions to the sport of bodybuilding! I am 46 years old and I am still hitting the pig iron 6 days a week and I still compete. Fitness is a way of life and it carries over to your performance at work. Stay driven Mike! Semper Fi
It matters ,cuz he's selli g false dreams,selling duck eggs, saying you got that physical shape naturally. When everyone knows gear will traumaticly help
He’s practically scamming people for money.. people that are absolutely clueless and desperate looking for a quick way to transform their physiques pay for the bullshit he sells thinking it works just because of the way he looks. Of course the people that buy it are partly to blame for being so stupid but a decent person doesn’t scam people like that
mike u r a really good man,i really enjoyed the part where u talked about the positive effects the love of a dog has on people. when i was younger i had a drug problem (opiates) and was going downhill fast,i found a stray dog walking the streets and took it home and my life changed. i started hanging with my dog every minute of everyday and loved it so much that i stopped using drugs,i was scared if i died (over dosed)my dog would be back on the streets or if i went to jail she would be homeless again also. since then i dedicated my life to helping stray dogs find homes and i met a great woman who loves dogs also and we got married and have a great son who loves dogs also. i believe JESUS knew putting a dog in my life was the only way to get me clean and off drugs. thank u for reading this mike, i respect u alot man and u r a great role model for so many people
Obviously he is a long term steroid user like myself, but people should focus instead on what he brings to bodybuilding, he is inspiring and he’s healthy and looking amazing in his 40s! Inspiring dude and I hope I can achieve half of what he has in life..
You can learn so much from mike if you listen to learn instead of to respond i said this many times I’m no athlete or fitness model but i learned to care and love my self more for me because of him my focus changed my intentions was wrong when i started to get fit and i got injured but i slowed down and worked smarter yet harder shorter time and i followed ever bit of advice to my best his advice works !!!! I lost and been keeping of 100lbs for a few years now . Thanks Mike your such a blessing to us all
Great interview. Smartest things that isn't spoken about enough and you articulated it very well. You 'bone density' and 'tendon strength' can have a huge impact on longevity. I'm injury free at 50 yrs old and believe these factors have much to do with it. Great for others to hear as they continue down their personal journey of health/fitness/etc. Again, nicely done!
Side note but great female interviewer...hot girl but doesn't act like typical chatterbox flirty fitness girl feeling his muscle and predictably saying.."Wow it's so hard"..with flirty grin..carries herself with dignity and speaks when she has something to say...
Hey Mike, Ive been following your workouts on TH-cam. Ive done my best to apply the principles and the way you approach building the body. Im 55, 6 1, 250# and recieve a lot of positive feedback both in and out of the gym. Ive always been a person who stays in my lane and minds my own business. My point? F the haters and those casting shade. At the end of the day proper nutrition and training fundamentals must be in place whether natural or enhanced. Keep killing bro. I'll be watching. Blessings
I am sick and tired of people jumping on this guy for juicing or not or whatever. He’s a class act and is the MOST PROFESSIONAL man I’ve ever met in the business besides Lee Labrada. I’ve been active and an avid bodybuilder and fan since 1988. He’s always approachable, always courteous, always personable. Mike OHearn is a total badass and is incredible in his knowledge about training and performance. His “blunt force trauma” training tactics alone should place him in the hall of fame in the fitness industry. If I ever had to pick three guys to train with or be trained by it would be Charles Glass, Mike O’Hearn and Ben Pakulski. All legends and wizards in their own right!
exactly....I really don't think Mike even cares what people say or think. He's so focused on his career and everyday routines and im sure he makes good money, why would he care? Plus he has so much positivity to offer and priceless information to pass on to us. I embrace it and take it to the gym. People who hate will hate him no matter what just by looking at him.
How do u think he makes a large portion of his money genius. He's seems like a good person, but he has to be nice to his FANS. look what happened to rosann bar. 👍🏼😂
Being a 42 year old man, i continue to get more powerful and definition as i get older. no steroids involved just hard ass work...seein you at your age keepin it up pushes me more. age is in your head and who gives a damn what everyone says about you. 💪
Skeeter VanNatta You must have been paraplegic 😆 As a collegiate athlete that it's still somehow active some of the esthetics remain, but if you were even able to peak in your 20's or get close your 40's should not feel better than your 20's. I know for a fact that I will not be able to run under 2 minutes for the half mile or even get close to 11's on a 100m dash, or accelerate to 35mph on a road bike. Without "specialized supplementation" this is implausible.
Roberto sanchez not everyone started life an athelete. i used to weigh 135lbs up til 10 years ago. had a lung collapse that changed my life to be better to my body so that i can be around for my family for years to come. now weigh 180 all natural and damn good shape. before you start runnin bad ass keyboard mouth why not hear everyones individual story about what lifting brings to them as opposed to overcompensate your own achievements on a forum so that you make yourself sound amazing to yourself
At 50 myself I will always follow Mike and listen to his advice. Great man. Great leader. I have enjoyed watching his videos and listening to what he has to say.
Frankie Jenkins if you believe he is Natty it just proves ur an idiot Bc dude is in his 50’s looking like he is 25 still. At age 35 a male bodies test lvl declines every year by 50 prob not making any at all. Maybe learn about the human body a little idiot
Poncetek-11 "Maybe learn about the human body a little idiot" Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy is a rare condition characterized by reduced body fat and increased muscle size. Affected individuals have up to twice the usual amount of muscle mass in their bodies. They also tend to have increased muscle strength. Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy is not known to cause any medical problems, and affected individuals are intellectually normal.
I guarantee every single person who claims Mike is on gear never worked out almost every single day for 4 decades. So until they do that naturally for 40 years, they really have no place to say anything, and should really just keep their mouths shut and just enjoy the sport. Whether hes on gear or not, you dont know for sure cause you aren't him. But you can test it for sure by doing it yourself. Too bad 99.99% of people don't have the work ethic to do what mike does whether using gear or not.
JC Denton i worked out for 20 years i have seen people with great genetics that never took roids and the ones who did. My childhood friend was an animal benching almost double than me but he never got lean i was lean but never got size untill now that im 40 years old. Human body has its limits , plus when you are getting old you will suffer of joins problems , elbows , back and so on. This guy is in his 50s huge, lean, with veins in his forearms, benching crazy weights .. yes i can tell you he is on drugs big time and a fucking lier
Many people are lazy, have no clue how to diet, and have terrible genetics. I myself am natural but often get accused of roids at my university. Just imagine what would happen if I actually DID hop on the sauce.
It seems Mike O'Hara is as good a person as he is an athlete. He seems to genuinely care about helping others in various ways.. Very enjoyable interview.
Stay away from steroids kids so you don't accidentally become famous and have to lie about it lol. Also goes to show how much ronnie deserved his 8x reign. Dude worked harder than anybody.
Mike I have been thinking about this, quite a few times actually.. You are famous, popular and have achieved so much in the fitness industry and in life in general. I have followed you since American gladiators where you did great aswell! You seem like such a great guy, that deserve more love/positivity comming your way.. It seems like your "secret" is the only thing holding you back from receiving all this. Personally I think people will respect you even more when you admit whatever "supplements" you take.. I know sponsors and all the other agreements can hold people back from telling the truth about this - but shit man, you're so such an influcial dude that you're above that now imo.. It won't take away from anything.. You can still do what you are doing now - and help people the way you do ☺️ Anyways I hope you can be a frontrunner - and help the fitness industry by leading by example at some point. Telling the truth and staying positive in the whole process - I think you could take over social media with this move 😃 Have a great day, you carried yourself well in the interview by the way👍 It was a brutal interview ! 😂👌
"chasing the trophy you loose sight of something else" 🔥🔥🔥 This is why I WATCH Mike, IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT LOOKS, he has some sound principles he interweaves into his videos. Principles that will in the long run keep us safe, and happier/content.
Woah Mike this whole comment section thinks you denied it in this video, they are too stubborn to see that you are just explaining that you were already gifted before you started taking them. That you put in an insane amount of work and that cant be taken from you. I don't need you to admit that you're on steroids, you are 50 years old. It's ok man you're a legend to most of us that lift weights just for the simple fact that you're one in a kind.
Its pretty clear he's on steroids. Not humanly possible to get that big just on protein and supplements. Is there any body builder that big that isnt!?But no doubt he has had to work so so hard in the gym every day over decades and his diet to get that big, so proper dedication. Fair play.
Mike O-hearn can never tell the truth, who is going to give him modelling work, film work, tv work...People need to get real. No one wants that on their door mat, he's sort of in Hollywood, he cannot come clean and gain what?...respect from fans, but lose a ton of future work....not very strategic that. If he was asked, by Shawn, OK, lets go now and take a full panel steriod and Growth Hormone blood test, u think he'll agree ? That would never happen, for a variety reasons, the above, and break their friendship which i think they sort of have.
UrAsiaticBrothafromAnotherMotha What would a blood test prove? He could very well be natty currently and the test would prove that, doesn’t mean he’s been batty his whole career!
Why do people call this guy Mike O'Tren when Trenbolone is detectable for 4 - 5 months. If the guy has ever taken anything, as someone who has been regularly tested, Trenbolone would have been the last thing he would have taken.
If it what you say is right, it is detectable as 4-5 months, 1) bodybuilders are always switching compounds, 2) he doesn't compete at many shows a year, that are drug tested, and tested for what ? Do u think the Mr Olympia is tested for Deca Nandralone ?...! Mike O-hearn can never tell the truth, who is going to give him modelling work, film work, tv work...People need to get real. No one wants that on their door mat. If he was asked, by Shawn, OK, lets go now and take a full panel steriod and Growth Hormone blood test, u think he'll agree ? That would never happen, for a variety reasons, and break their friendship which i think they sort of have.
Buddy when they test for steroids at natural shows they test for all compounds. I think you missed my point entirely. If he was using compounds before a show it would be HGH - detection time 3 days, test suspension - detection time 3 days and possibly some orals that are undetectable after a week.
I personally lived 37 years feeling like crap until I discovered drugs. I was born with physical and mental birth defects. Im prescribed 200mg Deca on week 3 of a 10 week cycle and 180mg cypionate weekly for the past 12 months and i feel amazing. I envy folks who were born completely normal and can naturally go through life and feel good and develop muscles. I have only been in the gym for the last six months even though I have been on TRT for a year now working out was never my thing and in my 20s being so weak with my problems I was never able to to develop muscles and unknowingly had low T my entire life.. The six months that I’ve been in the gym I have developed crazy amount of muscle and I have lost a crazy amount of fat eating healthy and drinking only water. Though the hormones overall have great benefits there are some negative side effects that I don’t like but if I get off of these things then I’ll end up going back to how I felt before and that’s not good. Medically because of these hormones I am now in the healthiest shape I have ever been in my entire life my doctors are very happy and surprised at the same time
I respect your abiltiy to take heat from viewers, you must have super thick skin to take that. I think you are amazingly dedicated to fitness and not at all natural. Dedication and genetics only go so far but you have achieved something amazing so kudos to you. You're happy and making money so in the end you win.

Why r u still defending your fake natty status lol. Your like 50 years old
Are you a medical practitioner ? Please show proof, this cant be obtained !!??
City Nature 😂😂😂😂 Halarious.
Anytime I hear Mike talk, it sounds like I'm listening to a politician. Avoids direct answers and always doing spin control.
yeah he comes off as one of the biggest douchebags in the world, seriously, most bodybuilders seem really cool, hes the exception for sure!
I understand you point, but sometimes question is more effective than answer.
If you ask Mike has he used steroids and he just says no. Are you satisfied?
But if he tells you that dude, I squated 550 at the age of 15 and have done this consistantly 30 years - got my point?
Thats what kai does
Ultimate politicians
@@Paladin4Him no. Your point exactly is?
Mike is amazing at avoiding the topic, leading the person who asked the question down a road that brings in other topics, and redirecting the topic back to the person with questions himself. He’s just as good at that than being a model
If Mike is all natural, he should be in a lab being studied by scientist.
@I was Here Not really. Things like acne and gyno are a rookie mistake, you very rarely see that on a pro stage, its rare even at amateur shows. As far as health longevity, it depends on how greedy you get with your cycles and what you're taking. There are dozens of steroids, some with more sides than others. For instance, a relatively conservative dose of testosterone at 200 mg a week is very doable for 3 months. On the other hand, 3 months of something like anadrol at 100 mg a day would be a very bad idea. A steroid documentary you might find interesting is Bigger, Stronger, Faster.
@I was Here Wrong its called growth hormone and actually makes your skin better and look younger.
Consistency......
@I was Here no it’s not. I’ve been on so much shit and have good skin and much more.
Mike O hern natural 😁. Theres more chance of Elvis landing on top of the Whitehouse with martians. Than Ohearn being natty. You have to be 100% stupid to believe it. Nobody gets that big with that bodyfat natty. Not yesterday. Not today. Not ever.
Back in the 80’s there were dudes 15 years old taking steroids to play football, he was obviously one of them dudes.
Great interview. Mike should be a Politician. He's brilliant at at avoiding all the questions asked, by asking Ray questions instead. Textbook.
This
I guarantee every single person who claims Mike is on gear never worked out almost every single day for 4 decades. So until they do that naturally for 40 years, they really have no place to say anything, and should really just keep their mouths shut and just enjoy the sport. Whether hes on gear or not, you dont know for sure cause you aren't him. But you can test it for sure by doing it yourself. Too bad 99.99% of people don't have the work ethic to do what mike does whether using gear or not. Mike has taken many drugs tests over the years and never failed one yet soooo

Blasts and cruises
It's all good man. We all know the industry is based on roids. It's all smoke and mirrors. 5his is what America is founded on.....Get called out and look everyone in the eye and lie your ass of...knowing everyone knows your full of shit lol. I could care less if these guys are enhanced. No matter what u feel about roids, they do not just magically make you grow. You have to work out 3 CS as hard to make gains and also take copious amounts of supplements just to protect your organs. I just think it doesnt matter if they're taking roids but what makes it horrendous is that they just blatantly lie about the usage. BB is like Boxing and MMA. The business is all run by the Mafia. Dont ever fool yourself about this little fact.

@Brian Cruz lmao TC fletcher? He said he stopped using steroid once he tried it when he was 20's. C.T claims to be natural for more than 2 decades now
@@russellmcgurn4217 you are incorrect. you can take test and not even work out and still gain serious muscle
Exact same answer Hulk Hogan gave to arsenio hall when asked about steroids. "Look how big I was as a kid" That's not an answer that's dodging the question.
There’s only one way to know. We need to get some calipers and check his balls size. It’s the ONLY way to know truly. Anything under a grape (not a raisin) is indicative of steroid usage
If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.
Truth Speaker
original jungle exactly 😂😂😂 he trained himself to believe his own lies
It’s still a lie. It just becomes easier to tell. Or people just stop believing what you say. Either way, Mike just loves the attention.
I don't know what is worse..the gear denial, the hair piece, the face lift or the botox....???
Is that what Trump's problems is?
totally narcissistic and lying most of the time....but , one of the best physique i've seen
Yeah the part about bringing dogs into the hospital to make kids smile and realizing that's what's important in life was totally narcissistic.
Great physique, arrogant fuck, great genetics. If he’s not juicing, his genetics should be bottled up and sold for millions. He possibly could be a one in a billion freak that comes once in a lifetime. It’s no wonder he is so narcissistic!
2:35 he's flexing his arm and coming closer to the camera to appear bigger... He also seems to use lifted boots and shoes even being 6'3... What an insecure of a man, his chicken nugget must be 2" inches flaccid 4" hard.
Mike, whether you’re on or have never taken gear, I just want you to know that I love ya, man. You’re an all around decent human being and a great source of motivation. Keep living your life, man. You look awesome.
I second that ‼️
We all know he's not natty. It shouldn't be frowned upon though. More people die from motivitamins a year than roids. Get rid of the stigma
you should really start to take steroids u have good potential
lol that's awesome
Well played sir
Lol...funny stuff.
best potential to be the best idiot ..that is for sure..
:)
Mike has been on steroids so long he thinks he's natural. 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😁😁
I don't know what is worse..the gear denial, the hair piece, the face lift or the botox....???
You nailed it !!
Never done steroids you idiot.
I can bet everything i own he's been roiding since he was a kid. You don't look like that at 13 all natural. If his parents were into bodybuilding they made it available to him. Richard Sandrak anyone, remember him?
It is natural to be on roids in this industry, sounds kinda paradoxical but that is the only sense in which he may be considered natural.
Drugs or no drugs, the time he put into his training and the methods he used are on point.
So can he replicate the same results in anybody else?
There are plenty of dudes on drugs that look like SHIT they’re not magic pills. And like Shawn said when you come off you feel like garbage and it effects your training
Joe Bob His genetics are still vastly superior to the average guy, gear or no gear. Also, his methods can be good for one but not the next.
@@joebob978 huh? of course not, unless it was an identical twin, how do you think Humans work?

On steroids etc, yes

That doesn’t take away from the consistency and hard work he has done over the years
But he’s lying about it for profit
that's not the point

If someone told me I was on steroids and I wasn’t I would just say thank you, that’s actually a compliment
Bt he can't give a wrong message to his fans on camera
@@satyameternal4931 I was saying that if he was indeed not on steroids he should have nothing to defend. btw he probably doesnt even feel the need to say anything because the youtube community already did it for him.

Steroids topic starts at 5:35
Legend
He's trying to say he didn't take roids because he was big when he was younger, he probably started then..I bet he only takes it less then bodybuilders do that's why he says he doesn't take steroids..he just went around the question, he didn't even answer it, so the proves he takes it..who cares if he does, I don't, now because u can tell that's he lied about it and he talks about himself too damn much, I might not follow him anymore
Thank you man. I appreciate it
"There we go" 😂😂😂
Thank you almighty goat🐐
I just turned 51 and started working out when I was 7. Watching Mike's interview brought back memories for myself. I have never used steroids and when I started lifting I wanted to be the strongest man in the world. I had that drive for several years. I remember always wanting to lift heavy things. At the age of 14 I picked up the back of my neighbor's Mercury 4 door Lynx and enjoyed picking up the backs of different cars for a period of time. The desire was always strong and I always did it in good fun and spirit. I always enjoyed helping others in strength conditioning. I wish I had been able to continue on without taking breaks but things happen in life. Even to this day I enjoy lifting my weights but no longer strive for strength, just toning and conditioning. I find Mike to be a class act and always enjoy learning new things from him. This man really knows what he is talking about and one of his most powerful assets is being humble and respectful to all. I see no arrogance at all in Mike and he truly understands what life is really about. That's what allows him to continue on after all these years and to have such a powerful impact on all. Thank you Mike, I really respect you. Keep up the good work!
jay longton great reply. I’m also very passionate about working out and I have ever since I started. I believe he’s natural because of how he thinks and also the way he lives his life. Such great character and very smart and humble. Physique wise and strength wise I can see him being natural because I’m completely natural and don’t take even any supplements yet I’m more developed and stronger than many. He’s a lot taller than me so it’s more impressive but ratio wise his numbers and mine are similar.
Yeah , a class act that gives young people the impression you can look the way he does not using gear 🤦🏻🤦🏼
Like it or not. Mike still looks good maybe even his best going into his 50s.
Most of us can only wish to be this healthy in our 40s let alone 50s. Keep up the good work Mike.
Healthy? Pumping his body with steroids isn’t healthy man.
Mike, I’m 43 and I’ve always thought bodybuilding was about looking the same from when I was 23 until my time comes. I have found you a great motivator and a genuine person. Keep up the good work. May your dogs live long lives and change those lives whom they touch.
is it just me or is squatting 550 pounds and benching over 400 at 15 years old crazier then the fact that he should be natural now?
It's complete BS a 15 year old that isn't a fat fuck could bench at Max about 230 and that's peak strength with a lot of size (not to much fat but still a good amount so ur stronger)
christian nilsson he said he benched 275 at 14 and at 15 he hit 400 bs it’s a lie, maybe 300 bench but 400 nahhh that’s roids, I’m 16 and I started 6 months ago and I just now hit 285 it’s hard af
@@tayk4543 could be at the beginning of 14 and then at the end of 15. That's two years really. Even then it's crazy to believe.
christian nilsson sounds like my high school. Was common for us back in late eighties early nineties to do those numbers in weights with No steroids and we dominated the weight room and football field. We ate a lot of amino acids horse size pills from vitamin store and lots of food. Frfr. Yep.
i was benching 405 at 20 an weighed 150 pounds
I went to a bodybuilding show in Chattanooga just to meet this guy. He is gigantic and looks like a real life superman. He lit up the whole crowd with his epic guest posing and stayed to take pics with every last person who was in line. This guy is an unbelievable human being a great role model for bodybuilding and wish people would stop hating on him because they lack his God given gift and work etc Because of him am inspired never to touch steroids because he has the best physique I've ever seen
How old are you? Anyway people hate because they hate liers!! If you honestly think he is natty then there really is no help for you!!! You would need a propper genetic disorder that nobody has ever had before to get anywhere near his size and lean gains!! Tell me are you near his size etc considering all the motivation he has instilled in you? You must be 275lbs of ripped muscle now then lol!! You see for most people he would have the opposite effect and turn them to steroids because they can't actually achieve what they thought was a natural achievement and as such used as a role model! People wouldn't hate if they weren't lied to. Its pathological with that guy, look at the pics of him at 16, he is no where near 275 lbs as he claims. What do you think he does different to anyone else? When he was next to rich piana they looked identical and rich is a lifelong serious PED abuser! You telling me he somehow managed to be the same as piana without drugs...... you need an IQ test mate
“Because of him am inspired to never touch steroids” Oh the irony 🤦♂️
Here's a weird one.. When I was 15 in the early 80s, competed as a powerlifter in a couple meets in Washington state. I remember seeing Mike at the meet in Spokane , he was way too heavy for the juniors and lifted against men.. No joke, this guy was a beast at 14 or 15, think he's the same age as I am. Anyway, on or off the juice doesn't matter because he is genetically gifted period.. Good man who gives his time with such generosity, that is all that matters.. Much love to you
A great role model yeah right.steroid cheat yes.not a role model come on behave.
How much is Mike O'Tren paying for this bot comment?
This man is a workhorse idc if he ever did or didn't use steroids he's a legend through and through
We get it... its just you can't be that workhorse for 40 years without the drugs...again if you can look like this without the drugs why would anyone use...he's definitely dodging the already known truth.
- 260+ and lean all year long
- Natural

The E Card Man With Vids oh the irony.
Mike O’Hearn is an athlete , he’s 6”3 , eats clean all year round and has been training heavy since he was 8 , don’t understand why people think you can’t be 260 and lean without being on steroids 🤷🏻♂️ , I mean let’s take away steroids for a second , providing you only trained , ate and rested , are you saying it’s not possible to be super strong and lean with a solid foundation of muscle over decades of lifting ? If not , what’s the point in anyone being “natural” cos otherwise you’re just gonna get met with a jealous bunch of sheep that have to say “ yeah he looks great but he’s definitely on steroids “ do your homework , he’s clean
Paul James Connelly hey bro. I’m selling the Brooklyn Bridge. Hit me up if you’re interested. I’ll give you a great deal. You could put up some toll booths and recoup your money pretty fast. Let me know fam.
^^^Exactly. I think Mike's incredibly impressive, but these people who are so desperate to believe Mike's natural haven't done any research on human physiology, fat-free-mass-index, genetic potential, etc. They're either too lazy to do the research, or too stupid to understand it. They also clearly haven't trained hard for over a decade, because then they'd personally know what happens when you start to approach your genetic limit.
The one thing that always makes me laugh is their "he's been training for 30+ years, bro!" argument. These idiots truly believe that if you just keep training hard and eating right, you'll keep packing on muscle, as if after 15 years of training as an adult, you can still pack on pounds of muscle each year. LOL...if they only knew how stupid they sound...

I mean his arms in his 40s look better than most men, juiced up and in their 20s, it's insane. So that being said please keep doing what you do, Mike.

But he has said in the past he’s natural
How does that make you smart?
Idiot
A regular lance armstrong haha :)
im sorry but YOURE SUCH AN IDIOT
When the subject of steroids came up, Mike exhibited absolute classic body language and signs of lying. Assertively taking over the interview, bullying his way into directing the conversation to unrelated stuff he chooses to talk about (to stop unwanted questioning), raised heart rate and breathing, unease, hand movement and general painfully obvious avasion tactics. Unfortunately for Mike, he is not a good liar. Then when he's spoken a lot about nothing, they have to move on to another topic. Then Mike relaxes again.
Great observations there,typical of an amateur liar...yet on the other hand,I see why,he needs to defend his brand...very nice and likeable guy.
Al Manero indeed. Must get awkward though.. living under such an obvious lie all your life.

Arnold has had numerous open heart surgeries. Clear case of steroid abuse. You do juice, your muscles grow. Heart is a muscle and grows as well no way for it to shrink.

Most of all I appreciate the lifestyle out of the gym with family, friendships, your passion for the well being of others and teaching an old dog some new tricks.

Hi Mike. I just talked to my trainer and friend Reinhard Jaeger from Switzerland. He told me to say hello to you and send you a hug! He thinks the world of you and told me that you were really natural.
Natty or not the dude is a monster and he has earned the body he has today. He is one of the gurus for body building on TH-cam today and I love his content.
B Hines, Well said!!!!!!
Nobody is saying Mike doesn’t work hard, or doesn’t have a good physique, or isn’t a nice guy. The point is the community has become tired of being lied to. Clearly you have no idea the damage these lies cause - it’s a huge deal and Mike lacks serious moral character.

re: fan base. Hey Mike, You said you still get people up to 50 years old loving it. Dude, it's bigger even than you think. I' m 68 and I'm doing it ALL! (No drugs tho', never wanted that) Love your work! Keep on truckin'.
I'm always torn with Mike. I enjoy his lifting content and appreciate his effort day in day out with regards to 'gettin' it done'.
However he's flying a little too close to the sun these days with this type of content. If you're gonna fuel the fire with the steroid videos then cut the crap and have the doc come in, run the blood tests and display your results otherwise this is nothing more than an attempt to get clicks and piss off those who believe you aren't natural as well as mislead the youth you so hope to influence with pseudo science that sort fits the narrative but not really and half baked trips down memory lane with regards to you're weight and numbers. It's also a risky little game to comment on others character when they have every right to call you out. Also with regards to your natty face, it's just plain rude to think so little of your followers on this topic. A simple youtube search will show u looking puffy as hell like you literally just got out from the botox clinic. You're forehead has zero movement when conveying emotion. I'm sure all these q's where agreed upon before hand etc so there is little to no risk here of being caught off guard and I've literally just fed the beast by even bothering to reply to this asinine crap but anyways. Have a good day people!
J0hnnie i was actual thinking to my self they should ask him about the work he has gotte. Done to keep his looks but either way zero fucks giving its his life
this video should be titled Shawn Ray asks Mike O'Hearn about steroids, not call him out...
Well look at his followers vs yours . That's why
The girl is the one who brought it up
Mike we all know you take steroids no matter what you say!!!
Don't really care if this person is on ped or not....just look at his mental....at 50 he still can out perform a younger athlete and .....he is so consistent on his body...that's what we need to learn from him
And that's what made him a legend.
Whether Mike is on steroids or not I don't care and none of us should. He is a legend and all those guys hate him are nowhere near him and will never be.
I remember having a brief chat with Mike after pre-judging at the Cal around 2002. He was incredibly cool with zero attitude. Great dude. Complete package.
David Puddy that's cool, he seems like a good dude
I totally agree with you. Really nice to hear when someone is just as nice as they appear on media. There are so many examples of famous people that seem cool in movies and media but in public with fans, you get a totally different person. I am a pretty good judge of people from first impressions and I could tell Mike was the real deal and a super down-to-earth type of guy, even though his appearance is that of a "Greek Adonis"! (People often associate good-looking people as being fake, phony, no personality. Just visit Los Angeles and you will see what I mean) This guy is one of my role models who gives me the motivation and drive to work out and not miss days! He also inspires me because of his great personality, and always positive attitude about life and his empathy, love, and compassion for others who don't have his blessings or have serious medical issues that make our own problems pale in comparison. I could also tell he had a huge heart and a lot of love in him. When he told the reason why he travels with his dog everywhere. He got me on that one! I don't tear up much but that got me pretty emotional when he started telling the story of the dog putting smiles on kids' and adults' faces that have been broken, damaged, hurt, and that have much more serious problems and issues than most of us will ever have. Such a great story. Maybe he truly is a Greek God after all? Lol... Mike is what a true "role model" is all about. Ps I don't care if he takes or doesn't take roids, he is a great man and has a big heart! That's all that matters to me.
people forget about who is using steroids,Mike o Hearn is motivation.This guy is a legend and his carrer have been awesome.
Great interview. I appreciate how you kept your training down to the basic science. This what it looks like when we say "better with age". I just turned 48. I got out of the military in 1995 and was able to get back in @ 42 in 2016 because how well I was physically.
You're the man I'm glad you don't let people rent space in your head keep doing you and being an inspiration I love it, God bless you and your family
Natty or not. You have to respect his hard work and dedication!
So if you have nothing to hide, why not just answer the question, yes or no?, did you ever do steroids?, I love how you swerved around it. If you are proud of the results, then don't be embarrassed of what got you there. I still will say congratulations for the hard work that you put in, there is no steroids that will motivate you to the gym to workout, but own what you do or don't do, because swinging around the question leaves alot a shade to hide under.
Just to start this off, Mike, i'm 19, I love you and have loved you and respected you since I was 15, but when it comes to the question of steroids my respect drops. I'm not saying that I know all, but I know how to see, and I see it in the gym all of the time, watch videos with guys (Simeon panda, who says he's natural HA, and Bradley Martin) who use(d), and even a good buddy of mine admits that he's done steroids and he looks just like you. Also, Calum Von Moger and Steve Cook are around your stature, weight, and aesthetics and they admit to the usage of steroids, yet you don't. You have nothing to lose so why not just admit it brother? People will respect you more if you admit to it. If you love this sport and believe like you said you do, please just stop lying.
Anyways, Much Love.
Orson M he swerved nothing he clearly said no he doesn't use them
Truth Speaker
He went from lifting 275 at 14 to over 400 at 15 man over 125lbs in a year he progressing fast 😂I wish he would be honest with peds cause I like the titan
I cannot believe that Shawn is not laughing at him. He has the ultimate excuse for everything.
At a accomplishable rate, the man has status, money, face, height, body, social skills and intelligence, yet he's a lying s.ack of s.hit and does it for NOTHING at all, he must have a PATHETIC WIENER.
Because ray believes him
cruedust 7595 He does not believe him. You are a fool to think that he does.
@@keithwalker4639 he has said in interviews he does
@@keithwalker4639 on his own talk show he said he believes Mike is telling tbe truth
Great interview !! Love the positivity no matter how Shawn Ray tried to out angle the mood . 😃
I mean he's built his whole career based on being "natural" so he can't really ever admit it until he's old and retired so what do you expect him to say LOL. Absolutely the guy's on some shit.
Mike could be lifetime on hgh and do everything with super small doseages and diet lifetime. He is a true best user ever if you know what I mean. This man knows how to be healthy and that is hes biggest strenght. Right Mike? I respect you. You know how to do things smart
I’ve watched this interview probably once a year since 2018 and it’s interesting how it’s different to me each time. I’m 48 now and have been back lifting for the last 5 years. This time around I feel I’m wiser about my training and nutrition albeit not perfect by any stretch. Gotta say though, I respect Mike more and more with each passing year. I admit a few years ago I was kind of blasting him thinking he was on gear and didn’t really listen to what he was saying as much. Now after seeing what I can still
Accomplish at my age, I’m more intrigued by Mike’s advice and philosophy. Honestly these days I’m going to say I could care less if Mike has ever taken gear or not because he is the epitome of consistency and work ethic. This man lives and breathes weightlifting and I absolutely cherish his passion for it. We are blessed to have this man around giving us knowledge and motivation to be better every day. This guys passion bleeds through and yes he is in business to make money but I believe he genuinely wants to help people and share his knowledge and experience. I appreciate Mike O’Hearn!
Mike I have followed you since the 90's. Thank you for being an incredible role model and for your contributions to the sport of bodybuilding! I am 46 years old and I am still hitting the pig iron 6 days a week and I still compete. Fitness is a way of life and it carries over to your performance at work. Stay driven Mike! Semper Fi
KILL!
Even if you do juice who cares? The hard work and dedication are obvious, living legend!
Yes, who cares, nobody cares if he takes steroids, people get aggravated at him because he DENIES taking steroids.
It matters ,cuz he's selli g false dreams,selling duck eggs, saying you got that physical shape naturally. When everyone knows gear will traumaticly help
He’s practically scamming people for money.. people that are absolutely clueless and desperate looking for a quick way to transform their physiques pay for the bullshit he sells thinking it works just because of the way he looks. Of course the people that buy it are partly to blame for being so stupid but a decent person doesn’t scam people like that
"Living legend" hahaha
Eexactly!
You can't compare durability from person to person. Drugs or not. Honestly man I liked how you handled it.
mike u r a really good man,i really enjoyed the part where u talked about the positive effects the love of a dog has on people. when i was younger i had a drug problem (opiates) and was going downhill fast,i found a stray dog walking the streets and took it home and my life changed. i started hanging with my dog every minute of everyday and loved it so much that i stopped using drugs,i was scared if i died (over dosed)my dog would be back on the streets or if i went to jail she would be homeless again also. since then i dedicated my life to helping stray dogs find homes and i met a great woman who loves dogs also and we got married and have a great son who loves dogs also. i believe JESUS knew putting a dog in my life was the only way to get me clean and off drugs. thank u for reading this mike, i respect u alot man and u r a great role model for so many people
I missed the part where Sean called him out on steroids
It starts at 29:00.
Click bait
@@somekoswe9123 hahahaha..
Mike 'I've worn sunblock my whole life' O'Hearn
Lol yeah heard that, reason for looking the way he does
The fact he's pouring sweat while getting interviewed and everyone else is chill, screams tren.
Or caffeine, beta alanine, or any vasodilator. All of which are not anabolics. Smh at your ignorance
@@kburkhart67 could be but don't be naive
kburkhart67 you defending mike tren? Lol
kburkhart67 yeeeah bro must’ve been the beta alanine 🤣
but he is not sweating at all, is you blind?
Obviously he is a long term steroid user like myself, but people should focus instead on what he brings to bodybuilding, he is inspiring and he’s healthy and looking amazing in his 40s! Inspiring dude and I hope I can achieve half of what he has in life..
i do the frog 5 hours a day and i look like Ronnie Coleman now
You can learn so much from mike if you listen to learn instead of to respond i said this many times I’m no athlete or fitness model but i learned to care and love my self more for me because of him my focus changed my intentions was wrong when i started to get fit and i got injured but i slowed down and worked smarter yet harder shorter time and i followed ever bit of advice to my best his advice works !!!! I lost and been keeping of 100lbs for a few years now . Thanks Mike your such a blessing to us all
Great interview. Smartest things that isn't spoken about enough and you articulated it very well. You 'bone density' and 'tendon strength' can have a huge impact on longevity. I'm injury free at 50 yrs old and believe these factors have much to do with it. Great for others to hear as they continue down their personal journey of health/fitness/etc. Again, nicely done!
RGMG and you look like Mike, right?
Mike goes from calmy answering questions to quickly going on rapid defense when the juice topic came up. That in itself is a tell.
that's definitely a tell besides his physique. He's been juicing for years, which is amazing in itself. It'll catch up though.
I'm on the juice myself, orange juice, Apple Juice, just can't get enough 😏
why are you liking comments that say you're on steroids and are a liar, Mike ?
Side note but great female interviewer...hot girl but doesn't act like typical chatterbox flirty fitness girl feeling his muscle and predictably saying.."Wow it's so hard"..with flirty grin..carries herself with dignity and speaks when she has something to say...
Hey Mike,
Ive been following your workouts on TH-cam. Ive done my best to apply the principles and the way you approach building the body.
Im 55, 6 1, 250# and recieve a lot of positive feedback both in and out of the gym.
Ive always been a person who stays in my lane and minds my own business.
My point? F the haters and those casting shade. At the end of the day proper nutrition and training fundamentals must be in place whether natural or enhanced.
Keep killing bro. I'll be watching.
Blessings
I don't care what people say about Mike he's a good dude. keep doing you Mike.
I am sick and tired of people jumping on this guy for juicing or not or whatever. He’s a class act and is the MOST PROFESSIONAL man I’ve ever met in the business besides Lee Labrada. I’ve been active and an avid bodybuilder and fan since 1988. He’s always approachable, always courteous, always personable. Mike OHearn is a total badass and is incredible in his knowledge about training and performance. His “blunt force trauma” training tactics alone should place him in the hall of fame in the fitness industry. If I ever had to pick three guys to train with or be trained by it would be Charles Glass, Mike O’Hearn and Ben Pakulski. All legends and wizards in their own right!
exactly....I really don't think Mike even cares what people say or think. He's so focused on his career and everyday routines and im sure he makes good money, why would he care? Plus he has so much positivity to offer and priceless information to pass on to us. I embrace it and take it to the gym. People who hate will hate him no matter what just by looking at him.
How do u think he makes a large portion of his money genius. He's seems like a good person, but he has to be nice to his FANS. look what happened to rosann bar. 👍🏼😂
Being a 42 year old man, i continue to get more powerful and definition as i get older. no steroids involved just hard ass work...seein you at your age keepin it up pushes me more. age is in your head and who gives a damn what everyone says about you. 💪
Skeeter VanNatta yes and every guy in the gym feels that way also
yup..im hitting 50 and Im on swoool. Not like Mike, but i got mine and im proud.
Xavier Marroquin great feeling bein in better shape than 20 year olds in this day and age
Skeeter VanNatta
You must have been paraplegic 😆
As a collegiate athlete that it's still somehow active some of the esthetics remain, but if you were even able to peak in your 20's or get close your 40's should not feel better than your 20's. I know for a fact that I will not be able to run under 2 minutes for the half mile or even get close to 11's on a 100m dash, or accelerate to 35mph on a road bike. Without "specialized supplementation" this is implausible.
Roberto sanchez not everyone started life an athelete. i used to weigh 135lbs up til 10 years ago. had a lung collapse that changed my life to be better to my body so that i can be around for my family for years to come. now weigh 180 all natural and damn good shape. before you start runnin bad ass keyboard mouth why not hear everyones individual story about what lifting brings to them as opposed to overcompensate your own achievements on a forum so that you make yourself sound amazing to yourself
At 50 myself I will always follow Mike and listen to his advice. Great man. Great leader. I have enjoyed watching his videos and listening to what he has to say.
great liar as well
People who know about bodybuilding know that mike is on steroids END of storry.but i still like this guy..
Florian Ivezić You’re ignorant. End of story.
Dave M You’re calling ME a “troll” fro defending Mike O’Hearn’s integrity? Wow. You’re dumber than an empty box of fox. End of story.
Farbleguster McNasty you're a dumbass
Jersey Piney Actually, you are an ignorant hater and a fool. That’s the truth. Mike Ohearn is the real deal. Period.
Farbleguster McNasty No, he's right! Come on now! Don't tell me your another Mike is natural believer?
I’m sorry. I will never believe Mike O’Hearon is Natty sorry. Just ain’t happening
Frankie Jenkins if you believe he is Natty it just proves ur an idiot Bc dude is in his 50’s looking like he is 25 still. At age 35 a male bodies test lvl declines every year by 50 prob not making any at all. Maybe learn about the human body a little idiot
He's not natty...
Poncetek-11 "Maybe learn about the human body a little idiot"
Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy is a rare condition characterized by reduced body fat and increased muscle size. Affected individuals have up to twice the usual amount of muscle mass in their bodies. They also tend to have increased muscle strength. Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy is not known to cause any medical problems, and affected individuals are intellectually normal.
I guarantee every single person who claims Mike is on gear never worked out almost every single day for 4 decades. So until they do that naturally for 40 years, they really have no place to say anything, and should really just keep their mouths shut and just enjoy the sport. Whether hes on gear or not, you dont know for sure cause you aren't him. But you can test it for sure by doing it yourself. Too bad 99.99% of people don't have the work ethic to do what mike does whether using gear or not.
JC Denton i worked out for 20 years i have seen people with great genetics that never took roids and the ones who did. My childhood friend was an animal benching almost double than me but he never got lean i was lean but never got size untill now that im 40 years old. Human body has its limits , plus when you are getting old you will suffer of joins problems , elbows , back and so on. This guy is in his 50s huge, lean, with veins in his forearms, benching crazy weights .. yes i can tell you he is on drugs big time and a fucking lier
Steroid will not make you the next mike o hearn, i know so many people using steroid but i dont know anyone who look like mike o hearn
ita gettng harder and harder to find real tren 😀
Many people are lazy, have no clue how to diet, and have terrible genetics. I myself am natural but often get accused of roids at my university. Just imagine what would happen if I actually DID hop on the sauce.
How do you know that? I guarantee you if I was on roids I would look just as impressive or more so. Speak for yourself, not the genetics of others.
It seems Mike O'Hara is as good a person as he is an athlete. He seems to genuinely care about helping others in various ways.. Very enjoyable interview.
Stay away from steroids kids so you don't accidentally become famous and have to lie about it lol. Also goes to show how much ronnie deserved his 8x reign. Dude worked harder than anybody.
Mike O’Hearn is the personification of He-man!
Mike I have been thinking about this, quite a few times actually.. You are famous, popular and have achieved so much in the fitness industry and in life in general. I have followed you since American gladiators where you did great aswell! You seem like such a great guy, that deserve more love/positivity comming your way.. It seems like your "secret" is the only thing holding you back from receiving all this. Personally I think people will respect you even more when you admit whatever "supplements" you take.. I know sponsors and all the other agreements can hold people back from telling the truth about this - but shit man, you're so such an influcial dude that you're above that now imo.. It won't take away from anything.. You can still do what you are doing now - and help people the way you do ☺️ Anyways I hope you can be a frontrunner - and help the fitness industry by leading by example at some point. Telling the truth and staying positive in the whole process - I think you could take over social media with this move 😃 Have a great day, you carried yourself well in the interview by the way👍 It was a brutal interview ! 😂👌
Gotta good point!
"chasing the trophy you loose sight of something else" 🔥🔥🔥 This is why I WATCH Mike, IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT LOOKS, he has some sound principles he interweaves into his videos. Principles that will in the long run keep us safe, and happier/content.
Awesome interview!! I enjoyed hearing the passion about the sport from two of the sports greatest. Great job, Mike!
Woah Mike this whole comment section thinks you denied it in this video, they are too stubborn to see that you are just explaining that you were already gifted before you started taking them. That you put in an insane amount of work and that cant be taken from you. I don't need you to admit that you're on steroids, you are 50 years old. It's ok man you're a legend to most of us that lift weights just for the simple fact that you're one in a kind.
Stopped watching when he still claims natty
@Aron Chacon When?
you're the claim
He's natural
awake ening lol
Its pretty clear he's on steroids. Not humanly possible to get that big just on protein and supplements. Is there any body builder that big that isnt!?But no doubt he has had to work so so hard in the gym every day over decades and his diet to get that big, so proper dedication. Fair play.
Only one way to shut up all the haters and non believers.
Blood test.
Mike O-hearn can never tell the truth, who is going to give him modelling work, film work, tv work...People need to get real. No one wants that on their door mat, he's sort of in Hollywood, he cannot come clean and gain what?...respect from fans, but lose a ton of future work....not very strategic that.
If he was asked, by Shawn, OK, lets go now and take a full panel steriod and Growth Hormone blood test, u think he'll agree ? That would never happen, for a variety reasons, the above, and break their friendship which i think they sort of have.
UrAsiaticBrothafromAnotherMotha What would a blood test prove? He could very well be natty currently and the test would prove that, doesn’t mean he’s been batty his whole career!
Hes taken 50 tests over the years. never came back positive once
You can rig that bro.
It's funny. I don't have a horse on this race. He's passed every test. ALL the detractors have is opinion.
what if.. mike actually think he is natural. And the villain is his father, putting drugs in mike since early age.. hm..
Mike o tren
Why do people call this guy Mike O'Tren when Trenbolone is detectable for 4 - 5 months. If the guy has ever taken anything, as someone who has been regularly tested, Trenbolone would have been the last thing he would have taken.
xanthromera lol funny
If it what you say is right, it is detectable as 4-5 months, 1) bodybuilders are always switching compounds, 2) he doesn't compete at many shows a year, that are drug tested, and tested for what ?
Do u think the Mr Olympia is tested for Deca Nandralone ?...!

Buddy when they test for steroids at natural shows they test for all compounds. I think you missed my point entirely. If he was using compounds before a show it would be HGH - detection time 3 days, test suspension - detection time 3 days and possibly some orals that are undetectable after a week.
I personally lived 37 years feeling like crap until I discovered drugs. I was born with physical and mental birth defects. Im prescribed 200mg Deca on week 3 of a 10 week cycle and 180mg cypionate weekly for the past 12 months and i feel amazing. I envy folks who were born completely normal and can naturally go through life and feel good and develop muscles. I have only been in the gym for the last six months even though I have been on TRT for a year now working out was never my thing and in my 20s being so weak with my problems I was never able to to develop muscles and unknowingly had low T my entire life.. The six months that I’ve been in the gym I have developed crazy amount of muscle and I have lost a crazy amount of fat eating healthy and drinking only water. Though the hormones overall have great benefits there are some negative side effects that I don’t like but if I get off of these things then I’ll end up going back to how I felt before and that’s not good. Medically because of these hormones I am now in the healthiest shape I have ever been in my entire life my doctors are very happy and surprised at the same time
none of his answers were direct... lol
I respect your abiltiy to take heat from viewers, you must have super thick skin to take that. I think you are amazingly dedicated to fitness and not at all natural. Dedication and genetics only go so far but you have achieved something amazing so kudos to you. You're happy and making money so in the end you win.
See this is a great comment. Not delusional, not hating, just being hundred percent fair and square. Have my like
You/he never answered the question. Completely avoided.
joel laprade very true
