I'm 41. A year ago my testosterone was 333. I changed everything. Keto, intermittent fasting, 10k+ steps per day, and back in the gym. Went from 213 to 170 and am currently doing a recomp. Testosterone this past month was 456.
That's largely due to being overweight causes increased aromatization of testosterone converting to estrogen. That's why you will see nearly 100% of people who are obese (30-40%+ body fat percentage) have obesity induced hypogonadism

That’s not true. You need maybe 10 working sets per muscle group per week to see growth. I would say it’s more to do with consistency outside of the gym with diet and sleep that is important.
If you work with your body I don't care if you take or not roids...but the problem is when many influencers call themselves "natty" and they lie to people who think they can have their body just working out harder
That comes with society's stupid anti-steroids bias. I even see pharmaceuticals advertised as "steroid-free". That is one of the most ridiculous and underhanded marketing tactics I have ever heard. Almost everything in the universe is more expensive that steroids. And almost nothing in the pharmaceutical industry is more natural than steroids. When they substitute something else for steroids, the new product is more expensive, less effective, and almost definitely has a LOT more side effects. This is a scam. Steroids should never have been illegalized. This act really just screwed everyone because steroids are miracle cures.

@@gabrielmagalhaes859it takes a massive toll on the body if you lift like a moron, sure. if you do everything Dr. Mike says to minimize ur injury risk to gains ratio by using as light weight as possible and still getting in moderate reps by very slow eccentric control, perfect form, warming up properly etc. then obviously you may very well not make a single injury in your life and your bone density and general body health would be 10x better than everyone else your age. to say bodybuilding, let alone lifting, takes a massive toll on the body as black and white as that isn't right

@@xmmatzexm4496 Pretty much any argument against "steroid users" is going to be in bad faith because there's such a huge range of substances and dosages. It's like lumping "drug users" into one group and concluding that weed is the same as smoking meth.
@@xmmatzexm4496I think steroids are just an unjustified risk if you aren't competing, it's like smoking to "relax", it might work at first, but in the end it's just not worth it
@Wicked2305 Nope. There's only a littttlle bit of evidence that supports taking it after a workout is best, but almost all studies show as long as you do it once a day and are fully saturated(takes about 3 weeks without loading), you're good.
Your so right big difference between trt and taking steroids trt is ssfe keeping you at a healthy level steroids at high levels are definitely not safe at all. Good information mate keep educating people specially the young 👍
I refuse to believe that steroid usage improves long-term general happiness for more than a handfull of people. Would be an interesting study to conduct.
I’m pretty sure in the full length video he discusses that there is a lot of times a cycle where you want to get bigger so you juice, then you do get bigger and stop, then you get smaller and then you want to juice again. It can definitely be a vicious cycle for a lot of people.
I'm on TRT for various medical reasons. It has done nothing to improve my muscle mass. (I haven't been going to the gym regularly) It is not a magic pill. You still have to do the work. You still have to put the time into the gym and diet.
I think it might be more helpful for older people who for some reason have very low levels of their hormones. Without those hormones, they don’t feel motivated or in a good mood.
Telling you something is bad for you isn’t an attack on your agency. People telling you that you’re making bad choices isn’t the same as taking away your choices; unless you’re insecure and seek external approval, which would lend an explanation as to why you as a non-athlete would be taking PED’s in the first place.
@@elibonham4388 that’s your choice. Though if you’re going on gear, personally I’d go with more traditional options since they’re medically regulated and tested. Sarms are new, not fully studied, and lots of suppliers straight up lie about what in them so if you have a lot of food/ substance allergies be wary of that. Be careful out there man. If you’re gonna play with your life at least play smart.
@@elibonham4388You could capitalize on the process transformation of your physique alone without ever touching steroids, that’s what almost every gym bro content creator did on tiktok. Dont believe me? Look at how their pages started. Some of them popped into thin air with zero transformation from their beginning physique to their worked on physique. But I read this comment somewhere, someone said “I don’t plan on taking roids until I’ve hit my peak natty physique, then I might consider it” and I think those are words a lot of people should follow first. Good luck to you my man!

In this same video he talks about how 5 years ago people called him a fake natty but now, after so much desensitization of steroid use, he is now called "small". Steroids really fkked us up.
@@bageleater3373are you kidding. Mate, he's been on gear 10 years likely. There is no single possibility. He knows his channel would fall apart if he got exposed. It's all business. Build an impressive body. Talk about all the science. Blah blah. Truth is he's using or has used many times. Anyone with 10yrs training would know that.
Also, be mindful of elevated T levels on their own. With or without roids they can cause serious mood swings, anger issues, and poor impulse control. This can be mitigated by being aware of it and remembering to be a decent person. I was witness to an experiment where guys were unknowingly dosed with T, though, and one of em went berserk enough to almost kill someone. Thanks for talking honestly about the science. We need more of that.
Unless your profession/ability to make money hinges on you being bigger and stronger than everyone else, there is no logical reason to ever take steroids.
Okay, at 63, it dropped pretty low. Went on TRT microdose. After a few weeks, there are not a lot of differences, but importantly, I do recover like I did when I was younger. That is a huge difference between being young and being old is that you recover from injury so much faster. I've added about 10 lbs more muscle on exactly the same training. Body fat lowered very modestly. Got rid of a spare tire, that midsection fat that is so annoying but not harmful. BMI didn't mean anything before as a total natural. It means even less now.
@@nitolinilo9034 man I've always been against steroids and been slamming people who did it... But like.. looking at the guys I mentioned... You could make a serious case that steroids have been healthy and beneficial... Like theyre literally super humans compared to people their age. And it makes me wonder what steroids could do to us humans if carefully monitered by a doctor for an example. I mean TRT are already doing wonders for some people.
Really helpful. I’m 40 and have 346 ng/Dl which is on the low side of normal. Or 12 nmol/L for the brits in the comments. Knowing you’re at 16 nmol/L and have that muscle mass is encouraging
My brother tested 1180 at 24, I tested about 950 at 16, he had a bit of a second puberty at 22. Our whole family on our dads side has super high test, dense back hair almost as thick as our head hair, also ear hair, based on our last name we would have been basically the Kshatriya (Indian warrior caste, about 15%~ of our population) war generals back in the day so makes sense. So 1000 isn't exactly the limit for nattys. Depends on the person and genetics, along with physical activities, we do frequent exercise and martial arts swell.
346 ng/dL is extremely fucking low. Though this also depends on free test and SHBG levels. Get more sleep and fix your diet. Make sure you get plenty of zinc, magnesium, vitamin A, and boron. If your diet & general lifestyle is good & you can't find any reasons as to why your test is this low, I'd recommend hopping on TRT.
Trust me heart, liver and kidney problems are the worst problems out there. If you want to take them make sure to eat and live healthy AF and perhaps extra supplements for intestines
I did a bloodtest last month my test is exactly the same as yours. 485. Beautiful spot for a natural lifter. Keep up the good work. Hope youre recovering well after that assault
Got my test levels done yesterday. Been off ⚙️ for almost 10 years now. 36 1/2 years old, wondering where Im sitting. Will update when I get the results. Wish me luck 🙏
Dude you're an inspiration to me. I dont think I'll ever look like you, but knowing I can still get jacked without steroids is really cool. Also i appreciate that everything you say is backed by studies and research. Keep it up!

@@kgtl12345 you're missing that the human body is complex and one single hormone value of a single person at a single blood test does not define their entire health state or the capabilities of their body
@@kgtl12345 Genetics play a huge part. Anything above 300 and below 1000 is the normal range. If it is lower than 300 then it is considered abnormal and your doctor may prescribe you TRT (if you ask)
Yeah natural test levels aren’t as important as people think. A 300-400 isn’t much different from like an 800, as long as both people feel good and are healthy, cause bodies also have different sensitivities and reactions to hormones
It does slow down over time. Another aspect to consider is possibly needing to increase your intensity and vary your training a bit. If all you do is flat bench, try progressively overloading dumbbells and cables for a while and see how it goes. Potentially, you may also want to go into a very slight surplus in calories to see if your body will therefore be more willing to build extra tissue.
Bro, it took me the first 4 years to have little muscle growth, I know have a very good amount of muscle but I have 7 years lifting, so I am guessing you probably have like 2 years, it takes time as natural to build a nice physique
Androgen receptors play a big role in that, cant really explain it all too well but basically they helpy build muscle with test however some may not be as sensitave like yours
Just had mine tested 35 years old at 748 naturally I ran test and other compounds for years since I was 18 quit 3 years ago and for a Lil over 2 years had super low test levels so glad to bounce back
Ive been on TRT for a about a month and half now and the only problem ive had with it was it hurts my wallet. But like he said in the video “some people”. If you want to hop on juice or gear, do it in a medically prescribed way. My hair is fuller, i dont have acne, im more cognitive, i retain more that im told, ive never felt better in my life. Moral of the story, “some people” have different reactions… make an educated decision on it. This guy is smart, not bashing him at all. Id just like to throw a experience out there that not many users know is possible.
Excellent, Jeff. You're a 'clean' body builder, and so is your message. Unfortunately, body building has taken a negative spin for a number of decades now by the use of steroids and other enhancing substances, compromising health. Body building and holistic (clean) living still go hand-in-hand. That's the way of nature. As one example, I'll take a Steve Reeves physique any time over looking like the 'Hulk' (OK for comics but not real life). Thanks.
This is why I have followed you for years. You don’t absolutely bash the use of steroids, but you do the research to show people the negative causes behind it. Some people don’t believe that you’re natural but I believe that you’re 100% honest when it comes to that That’s why I still continue to follow you. I too have used anabolics and when talking to others about those too also point out the harsh side effects and that’s why I steer them in the direction of less is more just because you use massive amounts of steroids doesn’t mean you’re gonna become a professional bodybuilder so find out what your body likes and stay away from what it doesn’t like.
wear any shoes but when u squat u either want weightlifting shoes with heels for better leverages especially if ur ankle mobility is poor or ull want flat for both squats and deadlifts. or u can just be barefoot/in socks for both
Bro doctors told me it was 1100. I got tested at 15 it was 760. And 18 was 1190. I was so concerned bc I had a hard time sleeping, and I was just always on the move, and that led to heart problems eventually and slightly damaged the atrial walls. And I have to take meds now to lower it. So for anyone wanting to boost it just do it naturally and do not worry to much about it. I would rather be a normal range in the lower side than this bc this sucks.
I’ll be 50 next year and got my testosterone levels checked along with a full metabolic panel 6 months ago. My testosterone is 825 ng/dl. Lifetime natty and don’t use TRT either.
Young men. Don't be like Sam. That's too low of a Bar. Be the best you can be without the stuff. You'll be crying when he's gone early just like my gen lost Zyzz.
Used gear on and off in my mid to late 20s. I decided to get my test levels checked and I was sitting around 640. Been over 10 years since I last used anything.
I had 18 in arms at 18 without drugs or food, had no job ? Planned on gearing up at 21, but it just felt like training that hard wasn't healthy, then adding the drugs. I ended up quitting. Went to guitar school in Los Angeles instead..
I am 28 years old, when i was 16 i had Leukemia, after that other things started happening, i always felt sad depressed, even when going to the gym and everything, so i went to the doctor to check my Testosterone levels and it was on 230 ng/dl, so i am now on 200mg Testosterone every 7 days, and i feel better than ever . Only Side effects after 8 months are some Acne on my back, but barely noticeable and for me it is 100% worth since i feel alive again.
Maybe if you want a slight boost just use it in smaller amounts, sure you wont get as much but it will help and also slow down the effects of aging and shorter lifespan.
Anyone know what happens when you come off the gear? Do you lose all gains? If yes, why would you take gear and harm your health for temporary gains? Serious question.
Can you help me understand about creatine? It's been a year since I've been going to the gym, and i need to know the side effects...like, I've been doing pretty well without these types of enhancements..is it something that i should take for better muscle aesthetics, or no?
Testosterone increases when you spend your time in a "manly" environment. My test was at around 600 (I also worked out probably a little too much at the time, thus the test was pretty low for 24 y.o. with 210 pound lean mass, consider I'm from Dagestan BTW). Lived in a city, had everything I needed, didn't spend much time working, just lived a comfortable life. Then I moved to the North of Russia and worked there at at a gas field for 3 months (dirty work for 12 hours a day with no days off, construction sites, dirty and aggressive people, conflicts all the time and stuff), returned home and checked it again. It was 900. I worked out way less than at home, ate much worse, didn't sleep as well, and still had a 50% increase in just 3 months without any supplements or drugs. So, I think the environment plays a huge role, much more than anything else.
If you take them responsibly aka on-cycle for 3 months max, then off-cycle for 4 months preferably more and don't take too high a dose, you can mitigate any and all side effects people mention.
Thank god your actually talk about the goods and bass of steroids. USALLY people on here (almost 80% of fitness professionals on UA-cam say steroids are the way to go.
Oh okay, well that makes me feel a lot better having had my test come from 240 to 450 from a year or so of training and weight loss so that’s reassuring as I was questioning it being quite low.
It’s also the frequency of use and dosage. If you did say one cycle to push you over a hill, you’re not likely to suffer side effects. As usual with things it’s the regular users that experience the negative aspects.
I took my testosterone from 500 to 950 by accident. I started taking magnesium glycinate , boron, vitamin K2 vitamin D, high quality cod liver oil capsule and then eight months later I had a random blood work and the number was now 950. My doctor asked if I was on TRT and I said no what are you talking about? He says your testosterone levels almost 1000!!!! I’m 56 I feel like I’m 36 Having said that still takes me forever to recover between workouts so Higher testosterone is not everything…
I'm 22 years old, and my test result is 1060 ng/dL. I'm not sure why. I don't really eat healthy food, but I've been training for 7 years without taking too long breaks.
You should look into the lives of people like reg. Park and Steve Reeves. These guys were 4Runners to people like Arnold Schwarzenegger. And they demonstrated a commitment to natural gains and the benefits of avoiding drugs. The single biggest thing that will drive results is your commitment to training and a regular schedule and excitement of going into the gym with a focus. I often had guys that were on steroids pull-up chairs to watch me squat. I've never used drugs, although I've been around people who use drugs on a regular basis. In fact, most of them use drugs. I passed no judgment on them because of their commitment. But look into all the different ways you can enhance yourself from the inside out without trying to do so from the outside in. And commit to training and alternative health is lifestyles.
I’m mid 50’s, at 450 free test. 19% body fat, zero processed foods, weights 3X a week, walk or bike 30 mins 7X a week, strict keto, no other supplements, sleep 6-7 hours a night. Keto got me from mid 300’s - mid 400’s. Carbs for some reason lowers my test levels.

Idk... I just stick to black coffee as a pre workout and creatine with a protein shake after 🤷♂️
Dude I do that exact same thing and works perfectly.
I take creatine after breakfast, am i doing it wrong?
@Wicked2305 Nope. There's only a littttlle bit of evidence that supports taking it after a workout is best, but almost all studies show as long as you do it once a day and are fully saturated(takes about 3 weeks without loading), you're good.

Your so right big difference between trt and taking steroids trt is ssfe keeping you at a healthy level steroids at high levels are definitely not safe at all. Good information mate keep educating people specially the young 👍
I refuse to believe that steroid usage improves long-term general happiness for more than a handfull of people. Would be an interesting study to conduct.
Outside of medical purposes probably not.
I’m pretty sure in the full length video he discusses that there is a lot of times a cycle where you want to get bigger so you juice, then you do get bigger and stop, then you get smaller and then you want to juice again. It can definitely be a vicious cycle for a lot of people.
Trt
I'm on TRT for various medical reasons. It has done nothing to improve my muscle mass. (I haven't been going to the gym regularly) It is not a magic pill. You still have to do the work. You still have to put the time into the gym and diet.
I think it might be more helpful for older people who for some reason have very low levels of their hormones. Without those hormones, they don’t feel motivated or in a good mood.
Man I respect your content so much, thank you for providing accurate information and scientific approach to fitness
Telling you something is bad for you isn’t an attack on your agency. People telling you that you’re making bad choices isn’t the same as taking away your choices; unless you’re insecure and seek external approval, which would lend an explanation as to why you as a non-athlete would be taking PED’s in the first place.
U better if I too steroids I could make money really fast ive thought about taking it maybe ill take a sarm
@@elibonham4388 that’s your choice. Though if you’re going on gear, personally I’d go with more traditional options since they’re medically regulated and tested. Sarms are new, not fully studied, and lots of suppliers straight up lie about what in them so if you have a lot of food/ substance allergies be wary of that. Be careful out there man. If you’re gonna play with your life at least play smart.

Also, be mindful of elevated T levels on their own. With or without roids they can cause serious mood swings, anger issues, and poor impulse control. This can be mitigated by being aware of it and remembering to be a decent person.

Unless your profession/ability to make money hinges on you being bigger and stronger than everyone else, there is no logical reason to ever take steroids.
Money isn't worth dying quicker for in my opinion. I'd never take steroids
Agreed 👍🏼 dudes ❤
As a personal trainer it's definitely like that but not worth it.
I mean isnt this like a worse or just as bad version of like getting a cheap plastic surgery
@deuceisdaman plastic surgery probably causes less long term damage to your health
Okay, at 63, it dropped pretty low. Went on TRT microdose. After a few weeks, there are not a lot of differences, but importantly, I do recover like I did when I was younger. That is a huge difference between being young and being old is that you recover from injury so much faster. I've added about 10 lbs more muscle on exactly the same training. Body fat lowered very modestly. Got rid of a spare tire, that midsection fat that is so annoying but not harmful. BMI didn't mean anything before as a total natural. It means even less now.
At 30 I scored 200, but my doctor said lose weight first and come back in a month. Don’t you think I’m trying to lose the spare tire doc
If it affects your brain, mood, anxiety, etc how can anyone make a sensible choice to stay on them or not? Once you are in, the old you is gone.

This is the quality content and information that people should strive for; present you the facts and invite you to make an informed decision.
Really helpful. I’m 40 and have 346 ng/Dl which is on the low side of normal. Or 12 nmol/L for the brits in the comments. Knowing you’re at 16 nmol/L and have that muscle mass is encouraging
My brother tested 1180 at 24, I tested about 950 at 16, he had a bit of a second puberty at 22. Our whole family on our dads side has super high test, dense back hair almost as thick as our head hair, also ear hair, based on our last name we would have been basically the Kshatriya (Indian warrior caste, about 15%~ of our population) war generals back in the day so makes sense. So 1000 isn't exactly the limit for nattys. Depends on the person and genetics, along with physical activities, we do frequent exercise and martial arts swell.
346 ng/dL is extremely fucking low. Though this also depends on free test and SHBG levels.
Get more sleep and fix your diet. Make sure you get plenty of zinc, magnesium, vitamin A, and boron. If your diet & general lifestyle is good & you can't find any reasons as to why your test is this low, I'd recommend hopping on TRT.
@@lashedandscornedIt is not extremely low and no doc will prescribe TRT for this
You'd be surprised at how easy it is to get get a TRT script. @@yoendlesss
Low is like 100-200 at age 40.

My total test is over 700, I lift, eat right, I can’t really increase muscle size, I do gain strength.
Yeah natural test levels aren’t as important as people think. A 300-400 isn’t much different from like an 800, as long as both people feel good and are healthy, cause bodies also have different sensitivities and reactions to hormones
How many years have you been lifting? After the initial gain it does just go real slow.
It does slow down over time. Another aspect to consider is possibly needing to increase your intensity and vary your training a bit. If all you do is flat bench, try progressively overloading dumbbells and cables for a while and see how it goes. Potentially, you may also want to go into a very slight surplus in calories to see if your body will therefore be more willing to build extra tissue.
Bro, it took me the first 4 years to have little muscle growth, I know have a very good amount of muscle but I have 7 years lifting, so I am guessing you probably have like 2 years, it takes time as natural to build a nice physique
Androgen receptors play a big role in that, cant really explain it all too well but basically they helpy build muscle with test however some may not be as sensitave like yours
Just had mine tested 35 years old at 748 naturally I ran test and other compounds for years since I was 18 quit 3 years ago and for a Lil over 2 years had super low test levels so glad to bounce back
Ive been on TRT for a about a month and half now and the only problem ive had with it was it hurts my wallet. But like he said in the video “some people”. If you want to hop on juice or gear, do it in a medically prescribed way. My hair is fuller, i dont have acne, im more cognitive, i retain more that im told, ive never felt better in my life. Moral of the story, “some people” have different reactions… make an educated decision on it. This guy is smart, not bashing him at all. Id just like to throw a experience out there that not many users know is possible.
Same here, I hopped on it at 40 a year ago and feel great . HRT dosages though .
6 weeks is a very small sample size 🙂
Excellent, Jeff. You're a 'clean' body builder, and so is your message. Unfortunately, body building has taken a negative spin for a number of decades now by the use of steroids and other enhancing substances, compromising health. Body building and holistic (clean) living still go hand-in-hand. That's the way of nature. As one example, I'll take a Steve Reeves physique any time over looking like the 'Hulk' (OK for comics but not real life). Thanks.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
True bodybuilding is not natural. Best physiques are not natural and never will be. So, stop saying bullshit
Doing gods work bro ❤ keep it up.
This is why I have followed you for years. You don’t absolutely bash the use of steroids, but you do the research to show people the negative causes behind it. Some people don’t believe that you’re natural but I believe that you’re 100% honest when it comes to that That’s why I still continue to follow you. I too have used anabolics and when talking to others about those too also point out the harsh side effects and that’s why I steer them in the direction of less is more just because you use massive amounts of steroids doesn’t mean you’re gonna become a professional bodybuilder so find out what your body likes and stay away from what it doesn’t like.

I'd be interested in that.
wear any shoes but when u squat u either want weightlifting shoes with heels for better leverages especially if ur ankle mobility is poor or ull want flat for both squats and deadlifts. or u can just be barefoot/in socks for both
Barefoot is king 🗿
Bro doctors told me it was 1100. I got tested at 15 it was 760. And 18 was 1190. I was so concerned bc I had a hard time sleeping, and I was just always on the move, and that led to heart problems eventually and slightly damaged the atrial walls. And I have to take meds now to lower it. So for anyone wanting to boost it just do it naturally and do not worry to much about it. I would rather be a normal range in the lower side than this bc this sucks.
True , steroids did make Mike Van dumber

I’ll be 50 next year and got my testosterone levels checked along with a full metabolic panel 6 months ago. My testosterone is 825 ng/dl. Lifetime natty and don’t use TRT either.
That's incredible. I'm 36 with only 295 ng/dl. I did steroids when I was 26 for about 9 months
Young men. Don't be like Sam. That's too low of a Bar. Be the best you can be without the stuff. You'll be crying when he's gone early just like my gen lost Zyzz.
Exponentially highhhhh
TRT with peptides is the key. You can get pretty good results that actually make you look your on something, without the negative side effects.
Used gear on and off in my mid to late 20s. I decided to get my test levels checked and I was sitting around 640. Been over 10 years since I last used anything.
I had 18 in arms at 18 without drugs or food, had no job ? Planned on gearing up at 21, but it just felt like training that hard wasn't healthy, then adding the drugs. I ended up quitting. Went to guitar school in Los Angeles instead..

*Ronnie Coleman:* YEA BUDDY!
I am 28 years old, when i was 16 i had Leukemia, after that other things started happening, i always felt sad depressed, even when going to the gym and everything, so i went to the doctor to check my Testosterone levels and it was on 230 ng/dl, so i am now on 200mg Testosterone every 7 days, and i feel better than ever . Only Side effects after 8 months are some Acne on my back, but barely noticeable and for me it is 100% worth since i feel alive again.
Maybe if you want a slight boost just use it in smaller amounts, sure you wont get as much but it will help and also slow down the effects of aging and shorter lifespan.
Very professional wording .. well done
Good post Jeff. Good post.
Anyone know what happens when you come off the gear? Do you lose all gains? If yes, why would you take gear and harm your health for temporary gains? Serious question.

Can you help me understand about creatine?
It's been a year since I've been going to the gym, and i need to know the side effects...like, I've been doing pretty well without these types of enhancements..is it something that i should take for better muscle aesthetics, or no?
Testosterone increases when you spend your time in a "manly" environment. My test was at around 600 (I also worked out probably a little too much at the time, thus the test was pretty low for 24 y.o. with 210 pound lean mass, consider I'm from Dagestan BTW). Lived in a city, had everything I needed, didn't spend much time working, just lived a comfortable life. Then I moved to the North of Russia and worked there at at a gas field for 3 months (dirty work for 12 hours a day with no days off, construction sites, dirty and aggressive people, conflicts all the time and stuff), returned home and checked it again. It was 900. I worked out way less than at home, ate much worse, didn't sleep as well, and still had a 50% increase in just 3 months without any supplements or drugs. So, I think the environment plays a huge role, much more than anything else.
Thank you for being honest
If you take them responsibly aka on-cycle for 3 months max, then off-cycle for 4 months preferably more and don't take too high a dose, you can mitigate any and all side effects people mention.
Thank god your actually talk about the goods and bass of steroids. USALLY people on here (almost 80% of fitness professionals on UA-cam say steroids are the way to go.
Oh okay, well that makes me feel a lot better having had my test come from 240 to 450 from a year or so of training and weight loss so that’s reassuring as I was questioning it being quite low.
I wonder if this was the video that ultimately made Mike Van Wyck cry?😊
Then Noel most have used to have been the smartest person alive and he still is
“It’s over TEN THOUSAAAAAAAAND!”
It’s also the frequency of use and dosage. If you did say one cycle to push you over a hill, you’re not likely to suffer side effects. As usual with things it’s the regular users that experience the negative aspects.
He took “It’s over 9000!!” Literally.
I took my testosterone from 500 to 950 by accident. I started taking magnesium glycinate , boron, vitamin K2 vitamin D, high quality cod liver oil capsule and then eight months later I had a random blood work and the number was now 950. My doctor asked if I was on TRT and I said no what are you talking about? He says your testosterone levels almost 1000!!!! I’m 56 I feel like I’m 36 Having said that still takes me forever to recover between workouts so Higher testosterone is not everything…
I'm 22 years old, and my test result is 1060 ng/dL. I'm not sure why. I don't really eat healthy food, but I've been training for 7 years without taking too long breaks.
That's so damn high!
I’d say it’s because you’re 22 ! These are your best strongest years! Eat ‘em up , enjoy them ! Things will change.
Why did I get this on my feed after the whole Mike Van Wyck assault 😭
He got roid rage😂
You should look into the lives of people like reg. Park and Steve Reeves. These guys were 4Runners to people like Arnold Schwarzenegger. And they demonstrated a commitment to natural gains and the benefits of avoiding drugs. The single biggest thing that will drive results is your commitment to training and a regular schedule and excitement of going into the gym with a focus. I often had guys that were on steroids pull-up chairs to watch me squat. I've never used drugs, although I've been around people who use drugs on a regular basis. In fact, most of them use drugs. I passed no judgment on them because of their commitment. But look into all the different ways you can enhance yourself from the inside out without trying to do so from the outside in. And commit to training and alternative health is lifestyles.
