Arnie , Zane, serg all off them were on PEDS.... but back then the PEDS were not as strong... sorry if you think back when Arnie was champ he was clean ...
If YOU EVER had a question about The Rocks juice use. All you have to do is go have a look at him when he made "the tooth fairy" and "witch mountain." The guy was tall and athletic but all his WWE size was gone. Then he made "pain and gain" and was a monster. Those transformations are physically impossible without a lot of drugs and supplements.
His character has a great line in that movie when Wahlberg confronts him about his blow habit, "Hey man you alright you look like sh*".... "Really? I feel like I look great!"
For anyone who regularly exercises, is in the fitness industry or uses PEDs. We know, yes Dwayne Johnson takes steroids 🤦♂️ No doubt, 100%, enough said.

@@Plexpara fair enough - from my personal conversation w him and seeing how he was with everyone though, he’s a nice guy. I don’t think he’s a narcissist as much as doing it for his career. And that’s entirely possible, most people on steroids look terrible. I’ve seen naturals outlift many guys in gear, and also look better. However, if you train hard and eat well on gear, you will blow naturals away every day of the week. I’m 20-25lbs of muscle heavier than I ever could have been without steroids
@@plottaz ok you met him i dont..so i cant say much against that. and yes..a real steroid monster can easy beat my ass with lifting. but alot "normal" juiced dudes in a normal gym cant. and this allways makes me proud. but i got to say i train for strenght.
The Rock looked very natural when he first came to WWF now WWE. He had a football collegiate background prior to becoming a pro wrestler. His body began to really change as his movie roles became more regular. I like The Rock the wrestler more so than Dwayne Johnson the actor. I respect him and don’t think he’s a bad person for taking steroids. But there is no way possible people who look like that are natural. He has tons of access to the best performance enhancing drugs possible and I’m sure he takes advantage of that.
"he's a famous actor, and he has lots of influence, and im a 4th rate actor who he could help make or break. So no, I definitely agree with the Rock when he says he doesn't use steroids' There, helped fix it for you.
The thing with steroids is that people mostly don't like their physiques to be judged on the fact of whether ' Drugs ' created that physique, and that without said drugs, they wouldn't have been able to attain that physique, even if they did everything else the same...
I would like to see one of the so-called experts take the exact same amount the rock is taking and come up with the same type of physique... And good luck to you.
People who take steroids work harder than people who don't. That's the entire point, and how steroids work. They improve your recovery time, so you can work out every day rather than once or twice a week. So yes, Martyn uses steroids. And yes, he works his fucking ass off for his physique.
@@fluffylittlebear There is no difference in training natural or enhanced. I've never heard of anyone that can only train 1 or 2 times a week! You need to step inside a gym before you start expressing opinions on things you know nothing about.
Steroids has been demonized because of 90s bodybuilders ( when Dorian started era of beeing freakishly big ). Testosterone is the most important hormone for men, and when the level of testosterone is starting to decrease, low doses of hormonal therapy with prescription is life changing. You can still feel good, healthy, young, your sex life and libido will be very satisfying - same with decision making. When women have menopause, MD give them estrogen.... So yeah, The Rock is 50 years old, he is superstar, looking like a greek god so he is definitely on something and Im good about it, because his physique is far from unhealthy, big, blocky, walking death ( like Nick Walker).
Every interview video of Martin Ford I watch asking of him to give his opinion of very controversial subjects is always enlightening. Truly a good influence in every word
It's not normal for Shaq to be 7'1" either does that mean his parents gave him HGH when he was a child? Or out of billions of people it's possible for an outlier to accomplish something that isn't normal for the average person? He may take them and he may not, but you DO NOT know. People accuse others of Steroids to make themselves feel better about not being able to achieve that level of success. Regardless of the truth, you do not know the truth.
@@hatb36 It's a fantastic comparison, both of them show how size would indication something else is going on. The Shaq being taller than most people could ever be, and very large built people being more muscular than most people could ever be, is a 100% perfect comparison, you may not like it because it disarms people who pretend they know anything about Steroids but that example is a mic drop. Maybe they take them, maybe they don't. But if you're neutral and want to consider the facts that should be an eye opener that youtube trolls are not medically qualified to state someone uses drugs because of their unqualified observation.
@@justinsutter3602 nah,look at Shaq and look at the rock.Shaq was just a freak of nature and he’s still big af at his age completely natural.Look at the rock,he’s fucking shredded.
What gets me is that everyone presumes that if you are big you are automatically on roids, or you must know everything about them. I get people all the time TELLING me that i'm on roids, yet i have never taken any and i also don't not know the first thing about them, as funny enough lifting weights (at home) doesn't automatically give you knowledge on the subject. Also i'm not sure what the fascination is with everyone wanting to know who is natural or not. It's like every conversation with a bodybuilder has to descend into questions about roids.
Youve never met a natty samoan .. they are the most obese people on earth.. they do have genetics to be insanely muscled, but to be more muscled and 10x more lean in his 50s than he was in his late 20s knowing full well natural test levels drop by over half by the time your 55 is proof itself hes juiced to the gills... he has claimed natty because he cant get acting roles if he doesnt.. he failed drug tests when he was younger and uts public info, and for everyone saying prove your natty by having tests done he has ignored then all and refuses to take any blood tests, why? Because juiced to the gills..

YOu know damn well the Rock uses gear; look at him when he was wrestling in his 20's , and look at him now. It's not even debatable in my opinion. It's simply a given.
The question is never really "Does use steroids?" but "Are YOU willing to go on record saying uses steroids?" If course Johnson uses steroids. All Hollywood action stars that have a fit body do. In Johnson's case it's just a LOT more obvious. And no human gets to be as massive as Ford without - pardon the pun - massive amounts of steroids.
And Ford is aware that Rock could make a phonecall and get him blacklisted from featuring in any future movie roles of his, if he says the wrong thing.
@@hakunkamminga3915 Oh he'd still have to be on a diet and a bit of exercise, but nothing compared to the effort it would take to look like that without chemical enhancements. 😂
@@HolyRollerTV never said he wasn’t using. I don’t condone using but don’t judge others. He is still training hard as most professional athletes do. At the end of the day it’s his choice.
As an actor, obviously not as popular as The Rock, I have however seen the process and the timeline of how long it takes for these Hollywood actors to get in a certain shape for a movie role. Most of the time, actors have 4-6 months of training to get into the condition needed. There’s no way any actor, like Christian bale or zac effron, can put on 60-200lbs of solid muscle in half a year without using steroids. They ALL take whatever is needed to get them in shape to perform a role that ultimately pays millions. The problem is that they aren’t honest in their interviews how they got in that shape, and lie to their fans about “hard work” and their extreme “diet”. If they were just honest about it, it would take away the idea that they worked hard for something, which maybe so. Watch Zac Effrons interview for Baywatch and how awkward he looks when he’s asked about his “workout regiment” to get in the shape he was for the movie.. the fool was juiced to the gills lol
It's not something I've ever thought about, but makes perfect sense. An 11 stone mate used to fly up to 18 stone in a matter of weeks with steroids. Anadrol and cypranate.
He said a lot of good things here. But there are far greater discussions to be had. Im a prime example of hammering insane amounts of gear and experiencing life changing effects. Im always open and honest about my gear use with anyone who asks me, but then again my career as an Engineer is not affected by my admission of steroid use. But celebrities/influencers/athletes whatever have to tip toe because one bad interview (Elon Musk smoking a joint on Joe Rogan Experience, for example) can cause havoc for careers and reputations. Any intelligent human knows 99% of athletes in all aports take some kind of PEC or PED or use unnatural and unobtainable assistance from things such as oxygen depletion chambers...where do you draw the line? Oxygen depletion chambers are artificial aids to enhance performance. Same with steds. Seroids are a huge subject. But as Martyn said, remember every steroid was designed to combat an illness, disease or the effects of such; so they themselves arn't bad. Its how theyre used and abused (and not properly taught about)
When I was training I was told I was taking steroids by 99% of everyone who decided they wanted to form an opinion, I did train with people who took them, but it just wasn't for me, I trained because it made me feel good.
Ford is so straight forward about it says exactly what needs to said. Used for good and the like he said potential for bad things great point "awkward conversation" I forgot the name of the bodybuilder, said get least 7 yrs of hard training and be at least 20 before you decide to take steroids.
I'm 34 first yr trying gear, been working out since I was a teen. Did they make me stronger bigger more shredded yes. I don't recommend anyone take anything that isn't prescribed by a doctor but it was a personal choice. But like most people I can't appreciate when people are obviously not natural and try to pass it off as so, it makes me cringe.
I have huge respect for Martyn, but I have to disagree with Martyn here. He has a point about his reasons for not wanting to talk about Steroids, and it's great that he thinks in that way to look out for people. But at the same time, his point falls flat because he a guy who has a huge social media following, and he could easily address those issues via his platform by educating people, and covering all the dangers and explaining what is realistic. He could do a long video, or multiple videos about steroids, their dangers, his experiences, etc. So to say, I don't like to talk about it because I don't want people to get the wrong idea, seems to be a cop out.
They are illegal almost everywhere .. respectfully think deeper before you speak mate ..I know by your reply your a smart guy with respect good intent here Why do you think the rock won’t talk about it? Or Mike O’hearn ….WAY TOO MUCH TO LOSE .. watch till the end .. you’ll hear these specific reasons he doesn’t like to talk .. including being an actor Wanting to help out of being a good guy vs risking your career or getting stopped every time you enter an airport Ect … he doesn’t owe anybody shit .. but he still did this .. good enough
I really like Martyn Ford. He's clever, articulate and, humble.. Also, he comes across as down to earth, someone who is approachable which is a good thing!! 👍🏻😎
"Honest?" That word gets thrown around a lot these day's. How's he "Honest?" He NEVER admitted he's on steroids. Yes, he said, "no comment." But, you saying he's "Honest" which part of Honesty did you get from this B rated "actor?" 🤔
@@altair227. Exactly, Kratos. Did you see the way he literally tried too say, Dwayne Johnson was on steroids? Yes, Dwayne is on steroids. So are you, Mr Ford. 🤦🏻♂️

OK what he is saying here is EXACTLY what needs to be said. If you aren't prepared to hit your genetic potential through natural training first, and get bloodwork done REGULARLY, you shouldn't juice.
@@happycoop123 think you’re misinterpreting what I’m saying.. another fake natty who lies to the world ‘no I don’t take steroids’ like Terry Holland’s who says steroids don’t exist in strongman smh
It seems very likely that The Rock (Johnson) is using steroids (but in a medically responsible way, and The Rock absolutely trains 110% for it) seeing that he is pushing 50 and making gains. I take issue with the fact that at 6:00 the interviewer is trying to bait Ford into saying Johnson takes steroids, for the sake of starting beef, but Ford is smart, doesn't take the bait of accidentally trash talking one of the biggest names ever in Hollywood. I see Ford as being as nuanced and smart as he is massive.
People here seem to get something wrong. Martin never said he never took/been using roids. He said he's clean NOW, which I believe because look at him here and him 1-2 years ago, he's not nearly as huge now.
A skinny bony ass cricket player turned chemical freak, 400+ lbs ripped and a brand new sense of identity and confidence to go with it and that’s the same guy who’s basically laughing at the iranian hulk for having a nervous breakdown….. Theses are the side show freaks who are serving as inspirational examples to follow for the younger generations,awesome bro!
Keeping it quiet is the best solution. Celebrities have millions of young people looking up to them and it's best not to advertise that you're using illegal and dangerous drugs. Celebrities are private citizens and don't have to reveal anything about it. Train hard, eat well, and work on your self-esteem. You can be very attractive with a lean fit body.
Fighters should never be allowed to take steroids. If you’re using your strength to fight/hurt people you should be in jail. Actors, bodybuilders, athletes do whatever you want.
Reason why nobody admits to using steroids is because of the stigma around them. The majority of people who aren't educated on fitness, and steroids in general, see them as "bad" and "cheating". Obviously they are just as safe as any other medicine when used properly. Think about people who are known for using steroids. They're practically all shamed by the masses and end up damaging not just their reputation, but also their income. Companies will not sponsor an athlete who is open about steroid use, simple as that. I think it's perfectly reasonable for modern athletes to deny steroid use, given the alternatives. They could ruin their entire career in a single day if they admitted it. And I'm not saying steroids are "good" either, but when you're competing against other athletes who are also secretly using them, what choice do you have?
Martyn answered the question right away , he didn't say yes but he's answer and that laughter lol were enough, I respect people who keep it 100% not like some others who just inflate their numbers and claim natty smh
Everyone who believes he is not on steroids or the rock is not on steroids is brainless to say the least
Dude I've argued with a WWE fanboy who was adamant, The Rock, Lesnar, , Batista all natties

Arnie , Zane, serg all off them were on PEDS.... but back then the PEDS were not as strong... sorry if you think back when Arnie was champ he was clean ...
If YOU EVER had a question about The Rocks juice use. All you have to do is go have a look at him when he made "the tooth fairy" and "witch mountain." The guy was tall and athletic but all his WWE size was gone. Then he made "pain and gain" and was a monster. Those transformations are physically impossible without a lot of drugs and supplements.
His character has a great line in that movie when Wahlberg confronts him about his blow habit, "Hey man you alright you look like sh*".... "Really? I feel like I look great!"
For anyone who regularly exercises, is in the fitness industry or uses PEDs. We know, yes Dwayne Johnson takes steroids 🤦♂️
No doubt, 100%, enough said.
His choice and its part of the reason he's been and remains so successful.
@@jjefferyworboys8138 yep for sure
Martyn Ford is a *VERY CLEVER* man! I am amazed how he is *not answering* and at the exact same time he *is answering* the questions. My deep respect for an athlete that he is so socially conscious and polite and smart and ... and ...
MF is a real good dude. Met him back in 2017. Giant line waiting for him and still have as much time as people wanted for pics, autographs, chats etc to rush through. Absolute unit. Great guy, happy he’s getting the recognition he deserves now

@@Plexpara about what? Gear? He’s clearly on the gear and everyone knows it, he just knows his career will suffer if he outright says it. His eruption of laughter was clear enough but plausibly deniable for normies
@@plottaz i just dont like peopel who lie.then he should say nothing or at least say he did it before
people who use this stuff for their ego (even if tehy know they will die young by heartattack) and lie about it, are mostly narcissist anyway.
and narcissist are not really good guys.
and its funny to see many who use steroids in my gym still dont take more weight as i do as natural. i even do it better sometimes
@@Plexpara fair enough - from my personal conversation w him and seeing how he was with everyone though, he’s a nice guy. I don’t think he’s a narcissist as much as doing it for his career. And that’s entirely possible, most people on steroids look terrible. I’ve seen naturals outlift many guys in gear, and also look better. However, if you train hard and eat well on gear, you will blow naturals away every day of the week. I’m 20-25lbs of muscle heavier than I ever could have been without steroids
@@plottaz ok you met him i dont..so i cant say much against that.
and yes..a real steroid monster can easy beat my ass with lifting.
but alot "normal" juiced dudes in a normal gym cant.
and this allways makes me proud. but i got to say i train for strenght.
So... the answer was "yes" and "yes".
His behaviour shows that he's a user and DJ defo does. No idea who this bloke is but DJ is just an actor so that's not really an issue.
This is why Dorian Yates os the GOAT. No BS, pure honesty. A free man who says what he wants and won’t be held to ransom for anyone.
Rich piana was the only body builder I know of that was honest about what he did and put in his body.
Shake Time!
Sounds good right about now
Damn! Martyn Ford is a really nice and humble person. He sees the depth of the steroid use situation
Got very defensive when asked if he'd taken steroids. You judge for yourself. I know what I think.
just look at him , without any doubt it's playing with fire.
So what
Course he’s on fucking steroids lol still works very hard tho
@@soys8834 well thats what steroids do make u work extra hard
@@LuisContreras-pw8wj Not like that it doesn't, might help a bit with energy levels but it's barely noticeable from my experience
The Rock looked very natural when he first came to WWF now WWE. He had a football collegiate background prior to becoming a pro wrestler. His body began to really change as his movie roles became more regular. I like The Rock the wrestler more so than Dwayne Johnson the actor. I respect him and don’t think he’s a bad person for taking steroids. But there is no way possible people who look like that are natural. He has tons of access to the best performance enhancing drugs possible and I’m sure he takes advantage of that.
"he's a famous actor, and he has lots of influence, and im a 4th rate actor who he could help make or break. So no, I definitely agree with the Rock when he says he doesn't use steroids' There, helped fix it for you.
He wants to work with Dwayne so will be trouble if he snitches.
@@boshirahmed I can't blame him for not taking the bait 6:00 in.
exactly. Rock could put a few phonecalls in, and basically blacklist Martyn from getting any movie roles. We all know Rock is on gear.
The thing with steroids is that people mostly don't like their physiques to be judged on the fact of whether ' Drugs ' created that physique, and that without said drugs, they wouldn't have been able to attain that physique, even if they did everything else the same...
Yep,they would have muscular shape but not as good as being on drugs
I would like to see one of the so-called experts take the exact same amount the rock is taking and come up with the same type of physique... And good luck to you.
People who take steroids work harder than people who don't. That's the entire point, and how steroids work. They improve your recovery time, so you can work out every day rather than once or twice a week. So yes, Martyn uses steroids. And yes, he works his fucking ass off for his physique.
Yeah without roids I'm sure he'd still be jacked but he'd be sinewy looking .
@@fluffylittlebear There is no difference in training natural or enhanced. I've never heard of anyone that can only train 1 or 2 times a week! You need to step inside a gym before you start expressing opinions on things you know nothing about.
Steroids has been demonized because of 90s bodybuilders ( when Dorian started era of beeing freakishly big ). Testosterone is the most important hormone for men, and when the level of testosterone is starting to decrease, low doses of hormonal therapy with prescription is life changing. You can still feel good, healthy, young, your sex life and libido will be very satisfying - same with decision making. When women have menopause, MD give them estrogen.... So yeah, The Rock is 50 years old, he is superstar, looking like a greek god so he is definitely on something and Im good about it, because his physique is far from unhealthy, big, blocky, walking death ( like Nick Walker).
Unmm I don't know Rick..... When you have been on the juice for so many years and you still ain't quit. You are a drug addict mate

Every interview video of Martin Ford I watch asking of him to give his opinion of very controversial subjects is always enlightening. Truly a good influence in every word
If you think this guy isn’t on steroids you’re brain dead. Getting that big at that height with so much lean muscles mass just isn’t normal
ofc he is .... That's why he said no comments
It's not normal for Shaq to be 7'1" either does that mean his parents gave him HGH when he was a child? Or out of billions of people it's possible for an outlier to accomplish something that isn't normal for the average person? He may take them and he may not, but you DO NOT know. People accuse others of Steroids to make themselves feel better about not being able to achieve that level of success. Regardless of the truth, you do not know the truth.
@@justinsutter3602 horrible comparison
@@hatb36 It's a fantastic comparison, both of them show how size would indication something else is going on. The Shaq being taller than most people could ever be, and very large built people being more muscular than most people could ever be, is a 100% perfect comparison, you may not like it because it disarms people who pretend they know anything about Steroids but that example is a mic drop. Maybe they take them, maybe they don't. But if you're neutral and want to consider the facts that should be an eye opener that youtube trolls are not medically qualified to state someone uses drugs because of their unqualified observation.
@@justinsutter3602 nah,look at Shaq and look at the rock.Shaq was just a freak of nature and he’s still big af at his age completely natural.Look at the rock,he’s fucking shredded.
people taking steroids and then saying they don't just to sell shite supplements is the major issue.
Martyn Ford essentially: "steroids have made me rich and famous, but for others, they're very bad."
His choice to achieve his goals.
What gets me is that everyone presumes that if you are big you are automatically on roids, or you must know everything about them.
I get people all the time TELLING me that i'm on roids, yet i have never taken any and i also don't not know the first thing about them, as funny enough lifting weights (at home) doesn't automatically give you knowledge on the subject.
Also i'm not sure what the fascination is with everyone wanting to know who is natural or not. It's like every conversation with a bodybuilder has to descend into questions about roids.
He’s Samoan and black. You can’t say hes 0% natty when he’s got two of the most muscular races in his blood line.
Youve never met a natty samoan .. they are the most obese people on earth.. they do have genetics to be insanely muscled, but to be more muscled and 10x more lean in his 50s than he was in his late 20s knowing full well natural test levels drop by over half by the time your 55 is proof itself hes juiced to the gills... he has claimed natty because he cant get acting roles if he doesnt.. he failed drug tests when he was younger and uts public info, and for everyone saying prove your natty by having tests done he has ignored then all and refuses to take any blood tests, why? Because juiced to the gills..
Rock is 250lb at 10% bf, while at age 50. Thats impossible, unless he's on gear.
This Martin Ford fellow is actually quiet articulate, this interview and his interview on dumping the iranian hulk fight gives me new respect. Solid dude

one last comment. I'll be half of a lot of us in the industry that are honest. I want to thank you and especially Martin Ford. We need more of this.
YOu know damn well the Rock uses gear; look at him when he was wrestling in his 20's , and look at him now. It's not even debatable in my opinion. It's simply a given.
U a true gentleman bro. U didn’t destroy Iranian hulk. U a good man. U knew there was no point in fighting him
The question is never really "Does use steroids?" but "Are YOU willing to go on record saying uses steroids?"
If course Johnson uses steroids. All Hollywood action stars that have a fit body do. In Johnson's case it's just a LOT more obvious. And no human gets to be as massive as Ford without - pardon the pun - massive amounts of steroids.
And Ford is aware that Rock could make a phonecall and get him blacklisted from featuring in any future movie roles of his, if he says the wrong thing.
@@eyecontrol4900 True dat.

Martyn is very well spoken on the subject of steroids and health. He does train as hard or harder than most
he was being a politician..you are a juicer ae you are not a juicer...he is a juicer...
@@HolyRollerTV never said he wasn’t using. I don’t condone using but don’t judge others. He is still training hard as most professional athletes do. At the end of the day it’s his choice.
The real question he should’ve asked, is if he ever had a tattoo.
Lol
As an actor, obviously not as popular as The Rock, I have however seen the process and the timeline of how long it takes for these Hollywood actors to get in a certain shape for a movie role. Most of the time, actors have 4-6 months of training to get into the condition needed. There’s no way any actor, like Christian bale or zac effron, can put on 60-200lbs of solid muscle in half a year without using steroids. They ALL take whatever is needed to get them in shape to perform a role that ultimately pays millions. The problem is that they aren’t honest in their interviews how they got in that shape, and lie to their fans about “hard work” and their extreme “diet”. If they were just honest about it, it would take away the idea that they worked hard for something, which maybe so. Watch Zac Effrons interview for Baywatch and how awkward he looks when he’s asked about his “workout regiment” to get in the shape he was for the movie.. the fool was juiced to the gills lol
Liver king is natty
Funny shit right there
It's not something I've ever thought about, but makes perfect sense. An 11 stone mate used to fly up to 18 stone in a matter of weeks with steroids. Anadrol and cypranate.
a part of acting is lying so..
Hahahaha 60-200lbs of solid muscle in 6 months? No one in the history of mankind has ever done this steroids or not 😂😂
The way he answered a simple yes or no question says alot to me
the reason al these celebs will say they've never done steroids is because they don't count mega super human doses of testosterone as steroids
Martyn is a very thoughtful and kind person.
And a huge liar lmao
@@slavsthetics2447 How so?
Martyn seem like a very responsible person who doesnt want kids that look up to him and damage their bodies.....Hes A BADASS
Is the Pope Catholic?
"Are bodybuilders on steroids?"
*YES*
He's as clean as my nose on a Friday night
Guys obviously on steroids, still great physique.
He said a lot of good things here. But there are far greater discussions to be had. Im a prime example of hammering insane amounts of gear and experiencing life changing effects. Im always open and honest about my gear use with anyone who asks me, but then again my career as an Engineer is not affected by my admission of steroid use. But celebrities/influencers/athletes whatever have to tip toe because one bad interview (Elon Musk smoking a joint on Joe Rogan Experience, for example) can cause havoc for careers and reputations. Any intelligent human knows 99% of athletes in all aports take some kind of PEC or PED or use unnatural and unobtainable assistance from things such as oxygen depletion chambers...where do you draw the line? Oxygen depletion chambers are artificial aids to enhance performance. Same with steds. Seroids are a huge subject. But as Martyn said, remember every steroid was designed to combat an illness, disease or the effects of such; so they themselves arn't bad. Its how theyre used and abused (and not properly taught about)
TRT changed my life at 53. I’m 11-12% body fat now and vascular and visible abs. And I’m very strong for my size and age.
When I was training I was told I was taking steroids by 99% of everyone who decided they wanted to form an opinion, I did train with people who took them, but it just wasn't for me, I trained because it made me feel good.
Martyn came to my home town rugby to do a film shoot on my estate i met him one of the most humble guys out there hes a top top bloke 👊👊👊

The tattoos limit him.
@@bmann78 Good point. Why do people feel defaming their bodies with tattoos make them look more attractive? SMH

Rich piana will tell you Straight up he does steroids and there are side effects buy doing it he never sugar coat Nothing .rest in peace rich 5%
Ford is so straight forward about it says exactly what needs to said. Used for good and the like he said potential for bad things great point "awkward conversation" I forgot the name of the bodybuilder, said get least 7 yrs of hard training and be at least 20 before you decide to take steroids.
Richard..it was rich piana that said that he is straight to the point

Not anymore though. Just done a few cycles.

Asking Martyn Ford if he takes steroids is like asking the person serving you at subway if they make sandwiches.
I'm 34 first yr trying gear, been working out since I was a teen. Did they make me stronger bigger more shredded yes. I don't recommend anyone take anything that isn't prescribed by a doctor but it was a personal choice. But like most people I can't appreciate when people are obviously not natural and try to pass it off as so, it makes me cringe.
Do you take steroids??
No....
Then proceeds to vomit the truth
I have huge respect for Martyn, but I have to disagree with Martyn here. He has a point about his reasons for not wanting to talk about Steroids, and it's great that he thinks in that way to look out for people. But at the same time, his point falls flat because he a guy who has a huge social media following, and he could easily address those issues via his platform by educating people, and covering all the dangers and explaining what is realistic. He could do a long video, or multiple videos about steroids, their dangers, his experiences, etc. So to say, I don't like to talk about it because I don't want people to get the wrong idea, seems to be a cop out.
Be would be a lanky beanpole without peds. It’s who he is and how he makes a living .
They are illegal almost everywhere .. respectfully think deeper before you speak mate ..I know by your reply your a smart guy with respect good intent here Why do you think the rock won’t talk about it? Or Mike O’hearn ….WAY TOO MUCH TO LOSE .. watch till the end .. you’ll hear these specific reasons he doesn’t like to talk .. including being an actor Wanting to help out of being a good guy vs risking your career or getting stopped every time you enter an airport Ect … he doesn’t owe anybody shit .. but he still did this .. good enough
He dosen't want to be the steroid guy. He wants to be something more than that
Didn't the rock admit that he used them in high school? I really doubt that he stopped using them and then put on another 60 lb of muscle afterwards.
Do we all forget George Farah was his coach? What the hell do you think he did with him? lol
If you are interested enough to ask if Dwayne Johnson is on steroids, you need to educate yourself more on the subject rather than asking others.

Rock is Bigger than Arnold and he's in his 50's, how the hell can he not use steroids.
You can look at Arnold's career in acting and see where he stopped using.
It seems very likely that The Rock (Johnson) is using steroids (but in a medically responsible way, and The Rock absolutely trains 110% for it) seeing that he is pushing 50 and making gains. I take issue with the fact that at 6:00 the interviewer is trying to bait Ford into saying Johnson takes steroids, for the sake of starting beef, but Ford is smart, doesn't take the bait of accidentally trash talking one of the biggest names ever in Hollywood. I see Ford as being as nuanced and smart as he is massive.
People here seem to get something wrong. Martin never said he never took/been using roids. He said he's clean NOW, which I believe because look at him here and him 1-2 years ago, he's not nearly as huge now.
Wasn’t he around 350lbs back then?
Wait, there are people that think this guy and the rock are natty? Super cute.
In a very clever way from the start to 1:40 mark, he basicaly says "yep i`ve taken some steroids at some point of my life".

Keeping it quiet is the best solution. Celebrities have millions of young people looking up to them and it's best not to advertise that you're using illegal and dangerous drugs. Celebrities are private citizens and don't have to reveal anything about it. Train hard, eat well, and work on your self-esteem. You can be very attractive with a lean fit body.
Straigt beast actually seems like a pretty chill dude.
Do we think the rambling monologue re steroids meant his honest answer was really a yes? 😅
Fighters should never be allowed to take steroids. If you’re using your strength to fight/hurt people you should be in jail. Actors, bodybuilders, athletes do whatever you want.
Reason why nobody admits to using steroids is because of the stigma around them. The majority of people who aren't educated on fitness, and steroids in general, see them as "bad" and "cheating". Obviously they are just as safe as any other medicine when used properly.
Think about people who are known for using steroids. They're practically all shamed by the masses and end up damaging not just their reputation, but also their income. Companies will not sponsor an athlete who is open about steroid use, simple as that.
I think it's perfectly reasonable for modern athletes to deny steroid use, given the alternatives. They could ruin their entire career in a single day if they admitted it. And I'm not saying steroids are "good" either, but when you're competing against other athletes who are also secretly using them, what choice do you have?
Martyn answered the question right away , he didn't say yes but he's answer and that laughter lol were enough, I respect people who keep it 100% not like some others who just inflate their numbers and claim natty smh
he kind of admitted taking steroids here but if you look at his insta or training website you wont find anything about that topic.
