My favorite point in your video was the idea that people are taking PEDs to obtain what they could have naturally. Not just some already super jacked 30 y/o… Speaks to the instant gratification mindset
Got your book. Totally worth it
Did you wear your shirt intentionally that way. It is inside-out
@@008boot6 helps engagement rate. anything for the almighty algorithm
- injection vs a simple pill "no sides" :) + legal many places vs pictures of the younger ripped eboys on internet and ppl sadly got dummer + more easy to "influence" :) as they think they can google everything , hence why they gonna laugh of this video, skip mid video (even if its good as it dont fit what they want) and go watch cbum/others - eating/ posing and dreaming on going big on social media, is why its exploded, also its not just sarms, TRT exploded for the older guys.

It is completely reasonable to expect teenagers to weigh 250 at 5’8 lean. This is definitely not a symptom of rampant body dysmorphia and easy access to PEDs and other illicit substances. Certainly not.
But Jeff Nippard is natural right?🤓🤡
@@orthodoxjimmy I actually think so tbh
@@orthodoxjimmy yes, he is
@@orthodoxjimmy yes he is
@@orthodoxjimmy HE IS U🤬🤬
More content about these substances could definitely be increasing their use. Availability bias and herd mentality are a real thing. If young teens see more content about this, it in part normalizes taking PEDs and gives the illusion that "everyone is on it anyway..." so it becomes easier to justify crossing the line. And if they cross that line once, it will be easier to rationalize it again when increasing the dosage. Plus, the recommendation algorithms on these platforms pigeonhole you based on what you watched the most, so you quickly end up in an echo chamber alternate reality where it's completely normal to be on a bunch of PEDs.
I agree. I didn't know anything about this, now I am curios.
@@sunshine8556 Exactly. By talking about it... everyone raises the awareness to them. Also, more accessible information adds "data points" in terms of side effects (or lack of). Before... you would hear "ooooh SARMs are going to kill you, shrink your balls" and so on... now you get to hear both, or many sides of the story because frankly, there's TONS of people on peds with either no ill effects or very minor. Some with all good. Some all bad. Etc. It's a crap shoot and perhaps the most important reason young folks should stay away.
Back in my days (90s-00s) most of the teenagers who lifted and looked like they lifted were on Dbol.....
I wont name names, out of respect for the channel owner, and I'm sure he knows of what I speak already anyway, but when you literally have vendors, playing both ends against the middle, using shell corps to hide their identities, one company selling juice, and saying things like SARMS are just a waste, and the other selling SARMS while off selling against the juice with a litany of side effect horror stories, what chance does the average joe doing internet research have to get the straight story? That guy that everyone thinks is so cool giving you the straight scoop on anabolics and then fixing you up with these harmless SARMS is also the same corporate snake that your buddy is buying his anabolics from and hearing what a simp you are for using SARMS!
@@coachd9168 There are componds that have little to no side effects, Cardarine or Stenabolic which aren't SARMs effectively gives you more endurance/energy. Ibutamoren is a growth hormone secretagogue that can add lean weight and even height, only side effect known is increased appetite.
@@sannybayot4868 there's always side effects

If it comes from nature it's natural, I picked up my box of Tren and Test from behind a bush so... Naturally natural
SARM goblin is one of the funniest names 😂
Shitty trend, amazing name.
Why is it called Goblin though?What is goblin supposed to mean in the context of them taking sarms?
@@certifiedsickknt4356 because they're goblin' up those SARMs. Knowyourmeme has good info on the origin, but no explanation to the goblin part. It could be due to the fact that the people taking them are young (early teens) and younger people tend to be smaller in height like goblins, and both are annoying. Most of the time they have that "zoomer perm" so you can just call them "broccoli tops". 🥦
Coming into nearly 8 years training as a 24 year old, and all I can say is I have heard alllll of these arguments about Roids when I was working in a gym part time while I was at uni. Countless times guys I knew would blow up, but then post cycle become unstable or lose their love for training because they have been training less then 2 or 3 years. Roids are so not for young people
If you don't mind me asking, how big are you after 8 years of hard work and dedication? Mind sharing your height, weight and bodyfat percentage?
@@GearZNet Hey, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? Age of training, and preference for training (power lifting/bodybuilding/general health & Strength)?
I'm still new to weight lifting.

@@sm7Vx bad bait
Noel is an interesting figure. He's overwhelmingly liked, and it's easy to see why. All his videos are positive. He doesn't name drop or start drama. He seems like a genuine, nice person. And he mostly gets a pass for being enhanced because a) he's honest about it, and b) he discourages young people from taking PEDs
BUT...he has a large *young* audience, seems to make videos largely for younger people, and the result is a lot of young lifters idolizing someone who is enhanced. Noel isn't doing anything intrinsically wrong, but just his existence: being a huge, enhanced role model for impressionable young people, probably isn't having a positive effect
Impressionable teenagers getting just getting into the gym are going to look at him, the fact that he's bigger than they'll ever be, and the fact that he used steroids to get there and, well...what's going to make a bigger difference? His words, telling them to stay natural? Or his actions, which turned him into a Tik Tok/UA-cam star (another thing many young people aspire to be)?
I don't hate Noel at all, but I still question whether his presence is actually beneficial from a health standpoint, even if his message is positive and his words don't encourage the use of drugs
That's a lot of words for 7am on a Saturday
Heavy is the head. Generations of kids idolized Arnold. He just lied as opposed to Noel. But do you think those who looked to Arnold were less likely to hop on gear than a Noel fan?
@@otterdonnelly9959 tough comparison, because in Arnold's day, you couldn't go online and purchase this stuff relatively easily. They were easy to get if you had the connections, but how many teenagers had those connections vs teenagers with internet access today?
@@LasTortugasAzules The internet wasn't a big thing then.. but in the 90s you could go to GNC and straight up buy many steroid level supplements. Just sayin
You could make the same argument about a lot of action movie actors now or sports athletes since the 80s though. Noel isn't a new phenomenon or even special in that regard
Forget about this guy Noel, he's out for clout... just ask yourself why literally the face of bodybuilding (Arnold) doesn't talk about Steroids, and there you have your answer.
Shirt is inside out champ! 👍
So glad someone finally addressed this, at this rate we’ll have a younger generation of lifters dying, people don’t realise the natural way yes it’s harder and takes longer but the results will last you longer
There’s plenty of fitness UA-camrs that have been addressing this topic, especially in the past year
Geoff, this is one of your most important videos. Hopefully this one reaches out far and wide.
I knew something felt different after returning to the gym after a couple years. Even with not having social media I can clearly see the shift in drug usage in the gym. It's rampant.
Yep. A lot of ppl in local gyms are on roids. Fitness is a disgrace
i got a home gym so i only stare at my natural greatness
I’ve been following you since 2019 on Quora, and your videos and posts have given me some solid results. Keep up the good shit.
Shout out to the editor. Man's doing work 😉
Great video that every teenager, beginner, intermediate, or basically anyone in the gym should see. Those who use the excuse that “everyone does it” or projecting “you know you want to get on the Jamba juice” to justify using PEDs are very misled & wrong (cough…RF…)
RF's angle would have some legitimacy to it if there actually was such a thing as safe PEDs. IF there was something you could take that would improve performance and boost muscle growth while having no negative impact on your health, yeah of course I'd take that. But there is no miracle substance like that so I'd rather live to see retirement with 2 functioning kidneys instead of looking big for 5 years before dying of a heart attack or slowly wasting away over the course of a decade or 2 as the wreck I've turned my body into slowly crumbles to ruins.
I think somewhere down the line people have to take responsibility for themselves. I like the Noel/Derek approach of being transparent and always stressing that young/beginner lifters should not even consider it. That is the best approach imo
derek has probably convinced more young dudes to start taking PEDs then he has swayed them away
The part with the LA shade-balls had my DYING! Love the humor sprinkled within the facts, keep it up!

Great video once again. Thanks for educating.
The main thing about these fitness of a stuff is to be healthy,not to have enlarged organs and die at 40
I was on steroids from the age of 18 to 24, Its just not worth it , I gained over 15kg of muscle during this time and i still fell small. I recently decided to come off completely and everything Geoffrey says its true, dont normalize this shit, Also i have health issues at this age because of the roids mainly
@@user-rm8by9fm pretty much everything, from test mast tren deca halo anavar primo,,,, etc it gets addictive to try new compounds every cycle
That's shitty bro, was too young to use as you now know.
@Nathan dude, do some research. If you asking you probably want to use. Expect to spend at least $500 every cycle plus food and dedicated training. There's no such thing as ONE cycle as well.
@Nathan my heart it cost 😐

Good video dude. You are defo one of the good ones on the tubes 👍

yea lol. too lazy to refilm. helps engagement rate I guess haha
Looking jacked man. Great information as always 💯
I love your channel. I am 33 also and I agree so much with what you say. Very few channels still giving such truth. Keep it up man!

Thank you for discussing such a major problem with the fitness industry currently!
Great video and points! I agree wholeheartedly! I would love to comment more directly on what you've said but I'm kinda tired haha. Keep it up!
quality content as always! the best part about the gym for me is knowing I'm taking actions to improve my health. It's pretty sad to see so many young lifters willing to potentially sacrifice their future for short term aesthetic appeal.
great video as always!
Great vid. Also was cool to see Shredded Sports Science mention you. Dude's content is worth the wait.
Does that dude even lift? 🤣
The GOAT has posted!
Thanks for taking an aggressive stance on this a dose of truth I personally needed as a teenager who’s been lifting for about a year and a half now steroids are very tempting
I live in Brazil and it’s just scary how many teenagers look like they are ridiculously sauced up. Who knows if it’s SARMS, or whatever but the medium size town where I live has around 20 clinics for men looking for testosterone “therapy” promising amazing results. FFS !
I'm brasileiro as well. It's depressing how behind fitness media in Latin America is. We need channels like Geoffrey and Natural Hypertrophy but we still have fake naturals dominating everything. É muito triste e patético
This is full on facts. I’ve done cycles and now I’m on trt Thru a doc (I’m 44) and I also live In LA.
1. These influencers are tiny in real life and are cut - but a lot is lighting
2. You can look like these influencers naturally just cut down body fat
3. If you want to be big, you must eat. People forget this is the most anabolic thing you can do.
4. Great physiques are created the same way whether or not you are on gear - discipline. Yes gear gives a slight edge but it’s all about the work.
Lot of truth. I went to a PL meet at the LA Fit Expo several years ago and wow it is a different ballgame when you see them in person. Of course the pro BB'ers and strongman were huge. However many of the influencers were actually a lot smaller than they appeared. Especially if they were wearing regular clothes.
@@Ryan_DeWitt dude exactly!! Most are TINY
Food is key crazy how some don't realize this..
I knew several 20-somethings that were taking SARMs, not doing proper PCT and wondering why they felt like shit, were depressed and their lifts weren't going up. Shit should be treated just like steroids, SARMs might not be built from a sterol group but it hits the AR and causes the same hpta shutdown. Plus half are bunk anyway, and the rest are underdosed. Train hard, eat reasonably well and be patient. If you still want to get on drugs after years of Natty training, they'll still be there. And having that foundation is so hugely underrated, not just for preventing injury but because there's actually physical changes that occur after training consistently that will make whatever you use work better... so great video Geoff, more people need a reality check like this lol.
This veritasium edit is pure gold!
Great content again.
God Bless man! Im 24 years old still natural here. Most people dont realize how much time it takes to make serius progress. I love your content, you are great.. keep up the good work!💪🏻☝🏻☝🏻

"Bro, your shit's all fucked up" I wish my doctor would talk to me like that, that'd be funny af
NO. Information should always be open and available. Never argue for restrictions of free information flow! The main point here is proper education on WHY SARMs or steroids aren't smart to take for teens. Education is key here and NOT the restriction of information!
Childish opinion. Info on fabricating your own nuclear weapons, dirty bombs, chemical agents, etc. should be free to literally everyone?
@@sananton2821 Yes. And keep your snarky comments to yourself. Makes you look like the childish one yourself.

Instagram in a nutshell. My explore page is spammed with all this.
Yep it's getting worse. I've heard TikTok is just horrible. These kids gon' be fked up later.
Don't open that page!
@@soonahero I think there's more to it than that...because I don't even use the explore page and I get similar. Instagram can't distinguish between natural and unnatural fitness content, and the unnatural side of things just gets way more engagement so that gets pushed more even if you don't interact with it.
Yep that and the worst bro lifting tips known to man lol
@@soonahero if you are scrolling and look at a post for more than a few seconds instagram takes that as "he likes it show him more"
Love this video
Looking big brah!!
Great video! I trained naturally for 20+ years and did my first sarm cycle 2 years at age 56. Waste of time and money, same cost as test cycle, barely any results and I sure got shutdown. I then did a real cycle last summer and another just recently. Huge results and I'll keep using but I'm not an idiot and I know how to train and eat. You're right there's no such thing as one cycle and I read and knew that before I did my first. So many kids ready to use without even had 5 years of hard and smart training and eating. Anyone under 30 using is just asking for trouble.
I'm 40 and on the sauce it is absolutely the boss. Idk about you but when you have the libido if 5 ppl and can go for an hour str8 the wife says yes to the sauce
@ 40 yrs old a little help never hurt anyone…
Idk what sarm you used but I did 10 mg Rad140 for 6 weeks and gained the amount of muscle that would take 10 months. After I took 25mg clomyd for 3 weeks. I did not lose sexual. I only experienced first aggressiveness and high sexual. After I was just like always. I'm 29 and I have a hard job. What sarm did you use to feel bad?? It makes no sense to me
I love the inside-out rightside-in shirt!!!!
Bro the editing of Greg was absolutely hilarious. it made me spit spinach onto my keyboard. Fuck man, why you gotta be so damn funny?
Gotta love how he does the whole video with his shirt inside out😂😂😂😂
Hey I think your Channel is one of the most real and informative along with alphadestiny and etc; I got a question that I have been anxious about not being able to lift at all for about 8 weeks later due to some surgery especially since I just hit 315 close grip bench for a triple after like a decade of training. I was wondering how much muscle and strength I am going to lose and How Fast or slow I can regain them lost gainz back. Thank you!
im the perfect example of waiting a few years! im tempted to enhance but im afraid of ruining my body! thanks for the video!
Brilliant video
I'm 22 & after extensive research I was this close to hope on sarms, but then decided it's just not worth it for me cuz I really don't care about getting that big. A fit and define physic with 12 to15 bodyfat is quite enough for me.
SARMS are a waste of time, better off to use actual PED's. I know I've used both.
@@patb5266 You definitely haven't used both, because you talk like a fifteen year old lmao.
Just want to say the veritasium edit was hilarious
I definitely dont overestimate what drugs can do. A friend's DL PR jumped from 200kg to 350kg in a year or two. He was stuck at 200 like forever. Weight gain and endurance everything results in greater strength and it is NO JOKE.
This editor of yours deserves a raise.
Realest video I’ve ever seen on fitness UA-cam no exaggeration

"Don't do steroids its dangerous and can be life threatening, there are so many consequences and its not worth it"

That's your fault for thinking its cool

@@phyrtiv u mad?
I agree, I can’t stand the guy and don’t understand how so many people fall for his nice guy drug dealer routine.
"Don't look at me for inspiration, look at the average looking unimpressive guy in the gym who doesn't even look like he works out but does."
- Concerned Juice Monkey
I sort of agree. He’s roided out and is clearly proud as hell of the body he has. The way he sets up his shots in that perfect angle everytime just means he knows it’s what makes his brand relevant. He’s saying the exact same thing that all the natural influencers are saying, but because he’s built like a fucking house, young people are more incentivized to listen to him. It’s like he’s pushing against the one thing that’s ultimately made him that big in the first place.
To your point about how much should a content creator disclose, I like the way Jujimufu does it. He's never openly stated what he takes and almost never brings it up in his videos but also never claims natty and will occasionally slip in little jokes and hints about being enhanced, almost like the way kids shows would sneak in adult jokes.
This is a good video and it needed to be said. It makes me think of a somewhat similar unethical case when 'influencers' were spreading the word that veneers were a good idea...I think that started with Katie Price or something, don't know, but in actual fact it's simply unethical for influencers to do this.
I’ve known a lot of people who take PEDs and they never seem to stay with training; I’ve also known a lot of kids who accused me of steroids because I was bigger th than them naturally.
The real problem was that they didn’t have a clue how to train.
I think a focus on powerlifting helped with all of this for me, you can always get stronger, often session to session - and it keeps you away from constantly checking your physique.
I also always enjoyed being stronger than enhanced athletes or being able to train with my enhanced friends😂 I always find that quite motivating, being able to keep up with enhanced lifters when natty is quite fun
Another factor which is kind of paradoxical is that advanced natty lifters, that already look really good, don’t even show off their physiques on social media and in real life because they’re happy with themselves and the ones that do show off are the insecure young unnatty lifters. Which just feeds the cycle of young kids hopping on the sauce. In conclusion, I want to thank you Geoffrey, for showing clips of your physique and telling people that it’s achievable naturally. I know if I had seen that as a young teen I would’ve been encouraged by that!
Definitely got to notice that the spike in increase and also just the general conversation surrounding PEDs has coincided with "normalising the conversation". It's great that the information is out there for it to be done "safely", but there's no denying that there are a lot if people that know about SARMS and tren that would otherwise be nonethewiser.
I can't be the only one that's just sick of everyone talking about drugs and their efficacy all the time, despite the fact that the people that take these are still very much in the minority.
Would you do a video on neck training? Would like to see how you would recommend doing it or different ways and how to progress.
Great video brother. Although I have never used any unnatty substances, I remember thinking that I probably would when I first started training. I was just so desensitized to them and got a mentality that it wasn't that bad because of channels like mpmd and Greg Doucette. I am very glad I never cycled and have no plans to ever start.
I know what you mean, I was there as well, "get in some good training, then hit the juice."
I never got in any good training, and even though I'm in my late-30s I have no desire to hit the juice...it just wouldn't be the same knowing I used PEDs.
Greg Doucette always says not to take them.
The breakup between you and Revival Fitness is the saddest arc going on in UA-cam fitness right now.
I'm 33 as well. GVS. You are cool, dude! 😎👍 Here, you dropped this...👑
Great info
You got that shirt on backwards... But great video :)
I noticed two from thumbnail right away 😂😂😂😂
I’m a lifetime natural and I’m sticking to it. I’m about 2 years into my training for my natural max goal in 5 years. Their are plenty of people in my gym that are clearly on gear and admittedly it’s a bit discouraging when they have reached that build in less than a year. But it seems the cons out way the pros.
Great video GVS!
Nice video and shirt is it inside out lol :)
Nice Porsche in the back, had me looking at that the whole time 😆, this is still a great video subject tho 👍
Thanks, it's my wife's!
I got interested in SARMs recently but after reading over and over again that it works on mice and it's not fully tested on human subject I left it alone... You know it might have terrible side effects over long time
Are you gonna make a video about forearms
i think the 8:50 point is understated when people talk about this sh*t. Its the problem with younger people they arent paranoid enough about chemical substances they put into themselves
Looking fresh Geoffrey
I think you all should make more videos calling out Bradley Martin. He's like the dealer for all these SARM goblins. He is always mentioned or pops up somewhere in their cringey videos.
I’ve done a cycle 23 years ago and never again. I was agitated for 8 weeks, and it was such a relief the morning I woke up, and took my last dose. I was so glad it was over. The physical feeling of being unstoppable, never sore, never tired, and stronger every single day was pretty amazing.
I would have done something insane had I continued to use them, as I don’t have the right temperament for something like that.
Did u keep the muscles
That's interesting...obviously, the mental component doesn't get addressed enough
i get that agitation/restless energy/feeling unstoppable just naturally although probably to lesser extent. double edged sword of high T
I know a dude that did cycles for like 2 years (improperly) and never worked out.
He gained like 80lbs in fat thinking he was "bulking and getting bigger".
He was always the same height. Gained almost no muscle. Now he's like 100+ lbs overweight and his levels are fucked.
30 years old.
Kids, stay away.
I'm 29, and BECAUSE I understand alot of how it works and what to do, I know I'll never do a cycle.
RP just did a video about steroids and impact on strength. The research was done by Greg Nuchols I think,
They figured it was about 10% different between steroid and non-steroid users.
Granted, part of it is that using typically causes growth, and puts you in a higher weight class, where competing then gets harder. And maybe that's really the point for physique...you grow, and get bigger and bigger.
I just can't fathom making a choice like that unless you are genetically gifted enough to need every advantage you can get to compete at the top of the game. But then, I'm not young anymore either.
Great video! Time to clip that omni-man noble natty scene tho, deserves its own video
8:00 What do you have to say about the supra-physiological levels of myonuclei and supra-physiological bone density gained from a cycle? When these gains are had, they are kept for life (providing other hormones are kept in healthy ranges) from what we know from the research - ie once unnatural, always unnatural. Are these supraphysiological levels only obtainable from cycles done post natural limit? I've heard some people make the argument that you can just do a few cycles and bank these gains for life and then stop. Thanks
I've heard that, and it sounds plausible, but I'm not sure the exact amount of muscle you'd maintain over what you could develop naturally. 5lbs? 10lbs? 15lbs? Really hard to say.
can you talk about making gains in your 30's? do you stagnate do you have to recover more between sessions?
AHAHA the veritasium bit made me fall off my chair BRUH
I got an ad for a Sarms website on a WWE video on Facebook smh
Had you at like, 28 man👍
Did a cycle of LGD 4033 when I was 18, I am now 21. Was hanging around the wrong group of gym bros which led me to do it but it was also the easy access of information on the internet that made me more comfortable with doing it. I watched a lot of Greg's videos on Sarms but If had not known all of the information that I learned about sarms from his videos then I wouldn't have done it. So It makes sense that even talking about it can encourage young teens to do it as I personally fell victim to that BS. After one cycle I never touched it again as I enjoyed it too much and quickly realized how dangerous this can be for my health if I were to continue. Now I just eat a lot of food, train hard and my progress has been great. I've gained 20+ LBS of lean mass since that cycle, and I say lean mass cuz my BF doesn't fluctuate at all. Fast metabolism lifestyle if you know what I mean.
did u keep the muscle u got
Everyone’s on steroids-Nate Diaz
You guys should check out some of Dr. Mikes latest content. It was pretty shoking to me and he makes a very good case that steroids increase streght by only 10-15%. (Ofc provided that you don't go up two weight classes.) I have just assumed that the natural lifting federation guys must be full of shit since their numbers are similar to the untested divisions. But turns out I was wrong.
He and many people in the comments of the video are also saying that they know guys who are natty and competing in untested federations and are still very competitive since strenght is very much genetic as you all know, I knew that some people have freak genetics but its pretty cool that they can stomp even competent enhanched athletes.
@Nathan greg nuckols (a natural lifter) looked into it and gave those results. You should read his article, it's actually very convincing and makes sense.
They've been showing up out of nowhere at my gym. They're all huge and ripped but have huge gynecomastia growth that they can't hide even under two shirts.
Having done one cycle of sarms myself, I never used them again. I had hair loss from ostarine an rad140 and that was really the only effect that lasted lol. But that one time was all I needed to change my mind on them.
There’s a 19 year old kid at my gym who has been abusing mk-677 for the last year, apparently the company he ordered it from “accidentally” sent him a bottle of test as well when he first ordered. These kids are using these supps the same way we used creatine like 15-20 years ago.
Could you review Sean Nalewanyj free workout plans please
Never get workout routines from youtubers
I think Noel Deyzel is one of the bigger problems.
1. He intentionally targets teenagers.
2. Most of his videos are about not letting haters discourage you from building as much muscle as you want. He recommends cutting people out of your life if they discourage you from getting too big.
3. He's open about his steroid use, and he talks about the harms… but he's also showing off the benefits and his popularity.
That seems like the perfect combo to encourage a young guy to take steroids. And it does. He says he gets tons of message from young guys asking him about how to take them.
He did make a video about the negative side effects of rampant steroid transparency, and his advice about cutting people who discourage you from getting big doesn't just have limit to fitness, there will be many "friends" in someone's life who will discourage you from achieving your full potential not just in the gym, but in other aspects of life
People are like kids. They learn by observing vs being told. Kids look at him and wanna look like him regardless what he says how dangerous it is
I definitely don't think you can really hold it against him. He targets teenagers because they're the most likely to give up if someone makes fun of them for it. As far as cutting people out of your life, you will encounter hateful anti-muscle people even if you stay natural.
@@someguy6422 Yeah, he's spoken about the negatives of steroid transparency. I'm not saying he's unaware of the issues with it. In one video, he talks about how tons of teenagers are messaging him about how to take steroids. I think he knows they're seeing his content and feeling inspired to take steroids.
@@justingreek6428 I'm not necessarily holding it against him. I don't know him. I'm not trying to judge him. I just think the combination of his talking points, steroid use, and popularity is inspiring people to take steroids.
I'm not sure teenagers are more likely to give up on lifting weights. In my experience, it seems like a lot of people start lifting in their teens and twenties when they're highly motivated to look their best and don't have as many responsibilities. And then when they become parents who are busy providing for their families, they get too busy and fall off the wagon.
But my point is, when you're a huge steroid dude, and you're preaching to kids about how nobody should stop you from getting too big, and if they do, you should cut them out of your life… I mean, just imagine the effect that's going to have, right?
You're going to get kids who want to get big, want to take steroids to do it, and then distance themselves from the people who discourage them from it because they're just "muscle haters" or they don't understand what it's like to want to be a huge bodybuilder or whatever. But these people are teenagers. The chances of them regretting it later in life is HUGE.
Why can't people just enjoy their lifting journey... it's simply stupid for people to hop on stuff because they want results rn rather than learn and get them a little later
I had muscle wasting from rhabdomyolysis that caused severe back pain. it took 2 cycles of low dose sarms to kick start my metabolism and put my body in an anabolic state. during that time I was at the gym daily etc. I am about 90% pain free now. I will continue to use sarms therapeutically to build muscle and heal the damage to my body.
I sucks that these "goblins" ruin the show for everyone.
What do you think about Alex eubank’s test dropping rapidly?
