Hell yeah I love Roman, he embodies hardcore bodybuilding to the fullest and his mentality after the hip replacements is insanely commendable💪💪 really cool to hear him talk with Steve
We all love Roman he is a true human being that never sugar coats anything he tells it like it is perhaps the only true straight up bodybuilder in the world no other like him respect brother
Holy shit, I absolutely didn't expect that combo. I watched a lot of videos from Roman and Mareen recently and totally love them, because they seem so genuine and motivate me to keep it up. I am really thrilled for this video! thanks!
Heard of Roman for years but never exposed to him personally until Chase Irons and now this... Really enjoy the guy's honesty. Refreshing. Now a huge Roman fan
Bro I swear every video I watch abd comment on you always bear me to it lol..whether its this one or big Paul dr todd etc...hope training and diet is going well
@@mikereynolds2313 It is brother, thank you. Yeah, I really appreciate them all too and the information they provide us for free is under appreciated as well. Hope your diet , training and lifestyle are in good places too !
@@mikereynolds2313 It’s going great Mike ! Really improving the quality and consistency of my diet and training ! Hope you’re doing well today and making gains too !
Best thing anyone can do is bring Roman on thier show! Roman is the man definitely one of my current favorite bodybuilders….the ones Roman did with chase irons were awsome love the truth in drug talk with these guys….you’re the man Roman!
I'm following roman since like ever. and I heard these stories from boarding school and the apple diet and the pro cards probably 15 times. but it always amuses me and I'm always so into it. great content
Started training because of Roman 10 years ago when he did the Roman Fritz weeks on the Team Andro Forum. The Forum doesn’t exist anymore but Romans career is doing better than ever!
@@VigorousSteve Its video production got rebranded as "Rep One". They are connected to the german supplement company ESN, just as the Team Andro forum was. However, the forum and all its content from almost 20 years was shut down by them (including the old Roman Fritz weeks :/ )
dude that apples story is absolutely insane. just could not believe what i was hearing the entire time 😆roman has some good stories for sure. in another podcast his story about nearly dying and grinding all his teeth down was also just unbelievable, what a life he has had
Great discussion, I am just discovering Roman. Really like watching him, hearing his insights and his personality. Subscribed to his channel now. Thanks Steve!
casual chat was great. Roman sure takes it seriously with conditioning and doing more shows which i really respect. Being transparent with gear is also very helpful - it would be helpful for females too but rare to come by more so than males.
@vigoroussteve can you do a video on nerve damage from a herniated disc in neck. It’s has cause atrophy and weak contractions in my pec triceps and lat on my right side. Thanks for everything you put out.
This was so cool to hear. I literally have the same genes as Roman. Gaining and eating is soooooo hard, but if I just go to bed hungry two or so nights in a row, I’m shredded to the bone.
I don't think he gets hungry in the normal routine. He only got hungry in hospital. He seems tired of eating that much, and when he doesn't, he doesn't go to bed hungry but still loses weight if he doesn't kinda force feed.
I will say, Fouad mentions his dosages in the podcasts and says his test sweet spot was 1250mg and his highest tren dose was 800mg/week and a lot of his regular guests besides Nick have opened up about dosages quite a bit. Fouad just believes a majority of the guys don’t lie and gets defensive over it at times. I appreciate your podcasts and info as always Steve, and loved seeing you and Roman get together. Keep killing it buddy
I can't imagine how he can be competing at the level that he is after his hip replacements. Must be a very high quality surgeon...And perhaps it's possible that it's a testament to the healing and regenerative power of being on juice.
So for clarity you mean by dieting once in a lifetime until you are bone dry, will make it almost impossible to become fat even with a massive calorie surplus. So everything goes into the muscle. The fat cells all died?
Bros story echos mine almost identically. I became anorexic freshman in high school so about the same age. I was 5’11 maybe 6’1 (current height) 165 lbs I dropped down to 128 lbs to get abs just removing meals and reducing portions down to nothing. I got a shredded 6 pack but had no muscle elsewhere. I then started working out. Got weaker my first few weeks. Couldn’t even squat the bar, I’d go down and have to be lifted up. I was weaker than 8th graders working out for football. A friend of mine told me I had to eat protein so I started eating boom 6 months later 165 lbs jacked and ripped. Seniors were asking me wtf I was taking, swearing I was on steroids. I was also the second strongest lb for lb and 3rd strongest bench vs guys who weighed 300 lbs! I really think it helped recondition my body permanently. Senior year I was 230 lbs with 6 packs abs, natural, strong, athletic and fast af. I let myself go the past 10 yrs up until 6 months ago and I’m back to 218 lbs shredded, veins from my last to obliques. Being 35 I’ve of course take gear but I don’t take much more then 500 total even when blasting, I just don’t need. I’ve gotten into the unreal shape I’m in now with 100 test 100 mast 300 tren. Dropped the mast lowered tren to 200, added in 10mg Superdrol preworkout only. Guys literally think I’m on a gram or more of shit. I preach less is more to anyone that will listen but I do know not everyone metabolizes these compounds or food like I do. I too don’t think I can get fat, I was eating half of a half gallon of icecream before bed for years, candy and carbs like crazy. Doing sales and no physical activity. I got out of shape but 230. Lbs 6’1 with 2-4 abs always poking thru isn’t fat.
37:00 and on makes so much sense im taking way more test eq and mast or primo Off-season no orals lots on insulin and gh but on prep dosages are lower on sone compounds like test because we are going for a certain look no one is trying to build muscle on prep
I'm pretty sure that usually ppl who skip watching because there are no timestamps lose more than Steve. Don't get me wrong, of course timestamps is really nice when you're looking for something from old material that you've already seen, but an episode that's a few hours old is worth watching from beginning to end just to keep things in context.
They all do 12iu to 20iu, this is no secret, but the majority just downplays it. If they say they use 6iu to 8iu, they're either lying, or run Increlex on the side ;)
@@VigorousSteve yeh bro facts !! Again gh15 told us haha. It’s the same as fake nattys claiming natty but using peptides or sarms or purely on it and claiming no
I wonder how roman would look if he stopped training so much and did HIT. I think he would blow up 10kg of stage weight with his dosages, metabolism and food intake. He is training way too much for his metabolism and he is handing himself short.
@@LuisRodriguez-xn5ruhe didn't at that point. Some people believe different stuff and don't try out new stuff and keep doing the same stuff over and over. I don't think he has ever done hit for long enough so that he can make a judgement. He does way too much volume. He trains 2 times a day I believe he used to train even 3 times a day. In addition to his fast metabolism he is training way too much. Hadi got bigger because Hany told him to train less. Roman should train like Dorian 4 days a week 45minutes each and he will be massive
Hell yeah I love Roman, he embodies hardcore bodybuilding to the fullest and his mentality after the hip replacements is insanely commendable💪💪 really cool to hear him talk with Steve
I love what he said about listening to others instead of what his heart was telling him. That was pure and helps me.
3 times hip replacement
Back at the gym hitting legs and hes only 12 days post op for a hip replacement! WTF!? This guy is a warrior. Big Respect Roman!
Roman is such a great and honest guy. Thank you Steve for this Podcast!
This is great. Roman is cool asf. It's nice how open he is. I wish more bodybuilders were like that. Awesome video Steve
BPC-157, TB500, and GH for his hip. No wonder he is recovering so fast. Hopefully he turns it around quickly!
I've never met Roman, never had the honor, but... He's very genuine and nice. Thanks for the chat, Steve!
We all love Roman he is a true human being that never sugar coats anything he tells it like it is perhaps the only true straight up bodybuilder in the world no other like him respect brother

That's all Alvaro J D's work 💪

Roman maybe can't win the Mr O with his physique yet but his personality definitely top 3.
The way he is hes already Mr o in my books
Omg I'm learning so much from this podcast, because it's all experience and truth, thanks guys honestly
That was great, Roman and Steve, two of my favorite guys in bodybuilding. D💪
2 honest men having a conversation 👌👍

Great video Steve you guys gel really well. Old School cycle talk would be right up roman and your alley. Roman is a BB historian.

Roman ‼️‼️‼️💯💯💯💯💯💪💪💪💪💪
01:00 facts lol
Named my one and only child Roman! He just turned 4 and he looooves doing push-ups! FACT!
Roman is #1! ❤
Damn good podcast! You should definitely need to make more
👍🏻👍🏻 great podcast!
Yes!! The man the myth the legend Roman!!
So for clarity you mean by dieting once in a lifetime until you are bone dry, will make it almost impossible to become fat even with a massive calorie surplus. So everything goes into the muscle. The fat cells all died?
I like Roman, he's honest but doesn't seem to boo people who are trying out, rather he seems more solution based.

The intro was great
I had a friend in Grade 8 who did the same thing. He ate apples only (he was fat) till he was slim. Then did steroids and got fkn massive
37:00 and on makes so much sense im taking way more test eq and mast or primo
Off-season no orals lots on insulin and gh but on prep dosages are lower on sone compounds like test because we are going for a certain look no one is trying to build muscle on prep
In Germany Roman is the best Bodybuilder in the Open but actually he get so much hated over here. I actually cant understand this.
Sehr geil!
As Chase said , if there is more and more transparency , we will have a whole new class of better freaks and bodybuilders
Good talk
Training 12 days out from a hip replacement....impressive!
Where’s the injectable sdrol part?
Roman bester mann
Roman is the best!
Gotta love Roman man
10 shows?! Nice
12:00 -- Tell Fritz to use celebrex instead of ibuprofen.
hey man good to see you grabbing medals, we chatted on a discord and your med knowledge was as vast as your lifting knowledge
Sounds like that fat roll is a granuloma. I developed one on my delt from a subq leak. Had to have 80ml of chunky fluid drained from it.
thats great stuff!
Hahah true story. My gf knows you too😂
They should have the O at a set time no matter what!
13 day after hip repleacement and the guy is already training legs again 😅
Epic love Roman
Lotta Nordic genetics in this video 😂 Vikings and Saxons unite ⚔️
Are people from Holland Vikings? 😅
So should we avoid stomach subq administrations?
I have a question: can i use test-e for a cutting cycle?
😲
Hey Sir, Can you guide me I'm facing ED and low libido low sex drive, i used steroids 8 months ago. Thank you. Pct was done
Roman seams like a trully nice guy i like him
Engagement
Hey its Roman
Roman is great -so down to earth. And Mr. O with a fucked up hip - he is a real one
and his english improved - trust me bro😂
Timestamps 😂
Dennis James was born in Germany how could you both forget him lol
Epic!!!
Algo!
You look like you know how to inject 😮
Had to go back and look it 1984 Olympia
Bro how the fuck was he eating that much during a prep?
You need to add time stamps if you really want people to watch
No casual
