These people are absolutely out of their mind to think that there will be no long term consequences.
they know what they are in.
Documentaries like this restore my faith in humanity. I have learned more than just about steroids; my main takeaway is how far the feeling of insecurity can push people. From now on, my main goal will be to master my mind to stop being susceptible to external triggers that could spark a cataclysmic chain of events like what have just seen.
Or just be a normal human being like you have been all your life? If you want to impress yourself and look in a mirror then take steroids. If your doing it to defend yourself go get a conceal and carry permit. If its for the chick's you won't find your solemate doing it. But what do you care if some person wants to jack up? Never met someone on steroids that was insecure. It was just a hobby.
Is it really insecurity though? or immaturity on your part? As terrifying as people skiing down a mountain which they fall off all the time? what about people riding motorcycles and dying everyday? People choosing to play football or do boxing? People choosing to smoke cigars? Life isn't all about being "safe". For most people, bodybuilding and weightlifting is a very fun hobby. I don't think you'd understand unless you had the hobby.
Good thing to know what the main important thing is Self control through mastery of the mind. Some folks turn to Jesus Christ to achieve this, others turn to Buddhism. What will you choose to achieve this?
@@bmar916 Thumbs up. Well said
Well said!
She’s an amazing journalist.
This documentary is pretty bad and full of sensationalism.
"the best data we have are autopsy studies" all I needed to hear. People hide from the truth until they can't anymore.
Except 0 deaths in the history of the world have had the COD as 'Steroids'.
That line was grade A fear mongering.
Its always heart attacks as the cause of death.
And I'm over here worried about drinking Creatine...
Creatine is one of the most studied sports supplement and is currently in clinical trial studies for its ability to treat psychological/cognitive related disorders.
Right
😂😂😂😂you will be fine 😅
Creatine is not thee only source of supplements there's some others aswell
Yeah one serving of creatine will give you kidney disease sorry bro 😢😢😢😮😮
Tony covering dudes injection site with his bare thumb is wild…
OMG literally INSANE!
I was tripping!!!!!!!
My thoughts exactly!
Really dirty and a cause of possible infection of whatever bacteria his finger had at that moment.
I agree, that nearly made me vomit 🤮 absolutely revolting!
bro all the drugs tony injects into the kid right before the finals of the competition is just insane. these ppl need help
He is evil.
Yes. I dont think tony is a bad person. But morally and spiritual he is broken because of his own insecurities.
@@crazycat1232 his delusion and the lack of basic hygienic protocol are scaryyy
especially considering a few minutes prior to that in the video, the kid talks about people who do too much or don't know what they're doing. 100% he's doing the same thing "they" are he just will never see it that way.
he needs to be arrested!
Zach wasn’t nearly big enough to place top 3. Tony pressuring him into dangerous drugs for no reason shows everything about Tony the phony
Yea dude looked natty it’s sad
so this episode is 2020, wonder what this Zac is doing rn?
Wasn’t as scary as it looked 😉
That was a common tactic used in open bodybuilding. But yes he was to small from the start
@@KrazyMuscleNutritionyou still taking SARMS bro? how’s your health i see you’re still competing
You can see the worry and anxiety in Zach's face after he had all those shots successively. He is so blinded by the idea of making it to professional bodybuilding that he has thrown caution to the wind.
37 and looks 50 🤦🏻♂️
dude looked my 63 year old dad
I thought the same thing! I thought he was in his mid-to-late 50's. I was wondering why he had children so late in life.
@@andydhillon1977 still lucky to even have them with what he's done
Indeed... crazy 😮😮😮
I said that exact thing and opened the comments to see if anyone agreed lol.
@31:45 "...as long as he can guarantee me, I'm not going to die right away from this stuff, I'm ok..." brilliant. Just simply brilliant!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Disturbing. Getting injections from someone not trained, who's giving multiple injections without wearing gloves or washing his hands. Not prepping the skin or anything. Sad what people will do when they're insecure.
How is it any different from these women now who inject themselves (untrained) with Ozempic to change their bodies and lose fat? It's not!
Like women who inject Ozempic. No difference really.
Experience wins. These guys are in the trenches actually living and experiencing and learning. They know what they're doing. It's easy to be a spectator and make judgmental comments, but brave people like this push the human development further.
He knows so much that when he injects the girl at 4 min he doesn't try to aspirate with the syringe to check if he gets blood, and he injects way too fast.
@@nerevar109 Nobody aspirates.
This is literally body dysmorphia
Yeah that girl Molly has a great body and she's taking testosterone to ruin it.
What happened to just training to be healthy?
They skipped that process
I guess that's not enough
This guy "TH" is the furthest from that.
He does say some sensible things from time to time. But I would not take his approach.
Greed, vanity, and easier access to any chemical you want. Along with all these social media platforms comes major dysmorphia and unreasonable expectations.
Body building is never healthy even without anabolics
dang i like zack, seems like a good dude. i hate seeing him trust tony so much........tony is just using him as a test subject :(
🙏🏽
About time you brought full length documentaries to TH-cam! TV is outdated.
How is gasping for air therapeutic??!
😂😂
Its simply amazing how some of the most muscle bound people on the planet are also some of the weakest.
Exactly 👏👏👏
Yep!!!
Ok mister obvious
@@monk331 Except it’s not obvious because scores of young men are being conned into taking a short path to heart disease. Bigorexia is a legitimate condition as well …
yes muscle size does not indicate strength a lot of the time, and a muscly body is nor always healthy.
i cant even believe this guy made it to national geographic.
You and me both bro honestly 😅
This is super terrifying.
Super terrible
Word
Is it really though? As terrifying as people skiing down a mountain which they fall off all the time? people riding motorcycles and dying everyday? People choosing to play football or do boxing? People choosing to smoke cigars? Life isn't all about being "safe". For most people, bodybuilding and weightlifting is a very fun hobby. I don't think you'd understand unless you had the hobby.
@@bmar916 YES
A lot of this is fear mongering. I love when they show the possible side effects of one of the Peds with scary music. What they don't mention is you'll see scary side effects on the labels of even common medications.
When bro science goes out of control 😂
Yup the 37 year old looks 60
That's what happens when you want a cheap out on gear and become a lab rat
This guy must have other factors influencing his aging. He's an extreme example.
I think he said he was 47 years old
@@RS-do6tv maybe.
Injecting himself on his chest where his heart is located was mind boggling
You have a room temperature IQ. Your heart is DEEP inside your chest, Tony is just lean enough to inject intramuscularly in his chest.
"If people could just visualize when they felt the best in their life. Imagine having that all the time, and then imagine amplifying that."
You just described drug addiction, "Doc".
My heart is breaking for zach.
I know right. He's being manipulated by Tony to be a human guinea pig.
I like being strong, even today I used my weights to exercise. Mainly because of boredom and the sake of being healthy. Steroids are in no way healthy. This document freaked me out...
too sensible
The fact you used steroids the way you did shows you are very ignorant on the subject
Clearly shows how the gym culture and bodybuilding is going so wrong these days!!!
For sure. All so they can all show off on social media too.
It's social media, movies, the internet. etc. Every Hollywood actor gets super jacked for movies. People have a warped view of their bodies.
That is why I do yoga
@@meyou8141we hear all the time about women feeling like they have to reach unrealistic body sizes, yet men face at least the same amount of pressure.
@@chrisbohn1759Indeed! Steroids are the male equivalent of women's diet pills now.
What an incredible production! When the mind is determined, anything can be accomplished regardless of the cost. A big round of applause to the team for illuminating the billion-dollar black market.
Being a Natural Bodybuilder is more Honourable ❤
There are competitions where you have to be tested right after the competition, and only get your cheque after you are confirmed to be clean.
@@lawrencemaweu They may not check for SARMS. The IOC does, that's about it.
No thanks I don't feel like playing chemist with my body from Jack at the gym that's crazy people do that
Jekyll and Hyde lol
They are playing with fire 🔥
They're certainly not playing with their testicles, they haven't got any.🤣🤯
fax
@@katecarlisle8383 A lot of them take HCG which keeps their testicles from atrophying. It is a myth that all bodybuilders have shrunken testicles. If they take HCG this doesn't happen. HCG is relatively cheap too.
It's fun as heck. I've actually been told by an Endocrinologist (hormone doctor) that the bodybuilders exercise enough to negate the negative health effects. It's just as terrifying as people skiing down a mountain which they fall off all the time, people riding motorcycles and dying each day on the road. People choosing to play football or do boxing. People choosing to smoke cigars. Life isn't all about being "safe". For most people, bodybuilding and weightlifting is a very fun hobby seeing your body change and being able to lift very large weight. I'd rather live a short and sweet life than a long and drudging one.
When you think about it, it’s pretty wild that he could be considered a “fitness influencer” when he is definitely not in good health, despite having large amounts of skeletal muscle.
His vo2 is probably really low and he would most likely get winded after only short & quick cardiovascular exercises. Such as climbing stairs or hiking up a consistent grade.
It’s disturbing how clueless and uneducated majority of people are in this country. The fact that he has soo many customers who take these drugs regularly just shows how lost we are. And to think, all of these people vote 🙄
This documentary creep me out and I was fulling expecting someone on the show to have just dropped. The poor heart!!
15 units of insulin is insane and they are gestimating the carbs to offset it 😳😳😳
11 surgeries, bruh is Lucky he’s alive
And also in less than a month 😮
He kinda looks like a mesh between Joe Pesci and Arnold Schwarzenegger. 😂
Joe Pescenegger.
I love how the journalist is looking at them. Bizarre world.
Sometimes you just have to say no
The real Doc looks jacked 😂😂
That was funny 😂
The real doctor has a TH-cam channel called the anabolic Doc
for sure jucing
He's openly admitted before that he's on testosterone...
My God when you talks about they're experiments going wrong he just laughs". That tells you everything about how he feels about all this at heart..12:56
When your dad didn't love you enough, you search for it in all the wrong places.
Well said ... the curse of US culture
What a good raw uncut doco! I know tony huge but haven’t seen him in this light. Her certainly has that snake oil dodgy salesman smile and these nieve sheep following him like he’s a god. It’s not worth the risk in my opinion.
Narcissist party..
She’s such a brave woman. Thanks for giving us inside into a world I rarely was aware of existing.
Great documentary!! Love this topic. More please 🙏
I am really beginning to like the national geographic docus :) thanks for putting them here on youtube!
Great documentary
❤ you always National Geographic
23:32 dude looks like 50
I thought late 50s.
37 no way
Every time i consider using PEDS i watch stuff like this & it TERRIFIES me.
That's so dangerous it's mind blowing 🤯
One of the best documentary watched till now❤
I liked the video. Participants were very open.
"moving as fast as we can" Almost like they're running away
Scary world.. 😢
Informative
Finally something new!
Juiced ladies looking a bit rough😂
And that blonde chick certainly sounded very masculine to me!
Stay natty bro
Unbelievable!
This is Crazy!
He's only 37...dude looks 55 or 60... what a waste.
Anabolic doctor is in here too 😲😲😲…wow !!
I really wish all this enthusiasm was channeled towards producing life-preserving (but expensive) medication such as insulin.
Interesting commentary on the privatization of what has notoriously been public industry. Science, space travel, etc...
How come they never talked abt how steroids make you completely psychotic, aggressive, and even abusive to your loved ones??? It was an insanely interesting episode but so candy coated.
If you do that before steroids use then you will do it on steroids however the vast majority of people I have seen over the decades don't turn into a scumbag .In saying that this video is in my opinion madness
Watching somebody dose a patient by just guessing like this is absolutely horrifying
Unbelievable…
4:07 what??? You get a year and 1/2 worth of body building in only 1 month!! ❌Something seems not quite right?❌
Awesome
Friend of mine passed away during his sleep. The doctor said his heart literally exploded from steroids used.. His daughter found him the next morning…
Literally exploded?? What were his doses?? Which compounds was he on? You have no idea what you are talking about.
@chrisbohn1759 he was obviously raw dogging that Trinitrotoluene.
Liver King has entered the chat
Now that he's up here and admitted this, things that he does,, time to put him behind bars
Hey mariana....love from India.....u do really good reportings...pls make the assasins video available in India also...❤❤❤
Somehow this feels worse than some of the other episodes in this series- no one is being forced by difficult life circumstances to make hard choices to survive. It's just ill-educated people preying on and eventually killing insecure people, for literally no discernable reason.
I couldn’t watch this episode so calm… I was having anxiety whenever they were putting a needle in their skin and I was feeling that I was not having air and that I was going to get suffocation 😅… They are crazy!
I need to use steriods for halloween? lol that is a new one ma'am.
A follow up would be great. 😂👍
Very interesting.
Amazing Piece of Information #❤
Not really. Both sides of this documentary are filled with bad information.
@@chrisbohn1759 Documentary have both aspects good as well as bad.
When his clients start dying at least the families will find some comfort in the extradition treaty USA has with Thailand…
Is he in Thailand now??????????
GuD Program .... I liked the way you portrayed the Drugs use to be Depreciated ..
That insane all those drugs at once to win a competition unbelievably insane
crazy crazy
I had some for severe medical problem and the stuff worked great totally legal it was needed and very good
Well that’s a lil dif 😂 plus the legal stuff is usually safe(r)
You notice they are ALL relatively young??? Get a person in their 50-60 range who's still doing this.😂
I am 48 and on gear and probably will be for the rest of my life! If you start slow and ramp up you have a lot less side effects, the side effects occur when you have a huge hormone swing. There is a lot of info out there supporting the supplementation of testosterone in adults.
Teenagers could long up to 30 taking it, not doubling this age:)
Have fun when liver failure reach you.
They are all dead😢
i wonder if publicly dealing drugs will affect his admission to the bar.
mariana doesn't take no for an answer is a very heavy comment.this shows how determined she is in her investigations 💯
Kid: If Tony says its ok
Tony: Evil demonic grin
I'm a regular gym goer and I'd never in a million years injecting any steroids to make me look bigger.
Personal choice everyone has.
@@Locomoco50000 Absolutely!
Doesn't just make you "look" bigger
Mentally insecure people finding and affirming each other that's why it will never be enough.
Lmfao you can tell Zach didn't even dedicate 5 minutes per day to posing. He's posing terribly 😂.
That’s insane
Haha tony huge in national geographic no way 😂
National Geographic, you made a great video!
Trevor did not pass the vibe test with that breaking bad joke
Didnt want to mention Leo passing away huh?
How do you get back down? Looks harder than going up.
i love you mariana!
I wonder how their kidneys look at age 60? I bet 20% develop issues.
Only with oral steroids, not so much with injectable’s
Depends on the compound, what the route of administration, genetics, and dosing.
