Ok.
5.94 for a meal?!?! BRO START SENDING TO DENMARK!!!!!
yo do a 7 day water fast
Bro you’re on Steroids too expose yourself
@@FestiveParrot Fedt.
bro folded when it was time to ask sam about P.E.DS
Thought so too, but he still asked in a roundabout way about the "guy who wants to get as big" as Sam, and he answered with the most normal response ever (macros and prog overload), when he could've been open about his body being unachievable without PEDs
100% folded lmfao
Fr i thought he was gonna be more direct and straight to the point when talking to Sam. Missed opportunity
I mean who wouldn't? He was surrounded by people and bodyguards.
probably first time they meet would be fking akward for first question to be about steroids, its kinda cringe.
Stay off PED’s longer than last time!!!
smarter than last time
Beefing with the tren twins harder than last time!!!
shut up gregory
Sensei Greg wiser than last time 😁
Sensei Greg
Sam Sulek does not mess with bro 😹😹😹
He immediately folded and wouldn't pop the big question
@@trentonbundy9915intimated by the size 😆😆
@@trentonbundy9915 My guess is sam was asked off camera and he said he wouldn't answer on video
@@johnmendyk98agreed this is how it went
UR probably right @@johnmendyk98
That end scene with Noel was so awesome, absolutely loved that interaction.
Noel is just the greatest man alive.
Gotta love Noel
Bro invented an unskippable promotion in middle of the video
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
innovation 😂
probably learned that from mr beast.
I stopped watching when I noticed it was blended in. Gross
@@HumanMechanism I just disliked.
Greg Doucette sounds so normal compared to how he speaks in his videos 😂
He is screaming at YOU so you get your ass up
Hell yeah man, for a sec I was confused if thats really him
All for show
its literally the first thing i was thinking when he started talking lmao
I wish he spoke normal in his videos but the extra anger in reviews is so funny lol. Love his honest views of things
Greg being so chill and open about his experience is really refreshing. I didn’t know he used to sell. That shocked me but now makes sense
Yeah , you should of looked at his first videos back then it was all explaining the benefits and risks of gear compound by compound. I think he deleted that videos but this got him the initial views. His personality and later fake Internet personality is what kept it growing
Yo, splitting the ad throughout the interviews is genius
Doesn't work tho
@@blackangel712I replied her cos there is no comment ability for some reason.
Steroids and psychosis. Altercation with police and didn't survive. That's an American thing.
It sounds very politically charged but come on, and I like Mike. Look at the sociology economical situation and influences as a precursor! He is from NYC bro! I'm Liverpool England, 5% of.gmrats who do juice do it.dor bad reasons, don't be a.dick! You cannot exclude the mentality and reasoning of a person and.blane.it on juice!
Noel seems like the most genuine guy
Fr
Fr
He is unfortunately homosexual. Bad behaviors should be discouraged
@@Inventor1488 is he really
@@Inventor1488 gay or not still a genuine and dope guy;)
Completely folded when he met Sam and the whole point of the video wasn’t asked lmao…crazy 😂
I have not seen anyone ask sam about PEDs and he has never talked about it. I bet that he will not talk about it on screen and has people who make sure he will not be asked.
💯💯 dude pussed out
Was about to say the same thing😂. He got shook AF
@@psysports9666he’s about live a legacy like joeastethics 😢
Maybe sam just doesnt want to give light to it
watching since you had 600k subs and man hats off to you for spreading such positive and lovely messages in this world!
Honestly thank you for this. I train a lot of teenagers and they all talk about I want to get big fast and I might take steroids. This video can really change some lives in the right direction. Everyone has free will, the strongest person in the gym is the person who chooses kindness. Thank you Jesse
when he first started his channel was great, but he had like 500 subs and he was long winded scientific videos rathjer than what celeb is fat or someshi
When Sam said it's two words I thought he was going to say "chocolate milk"
Tren, sarms
🤣🤣🤣
Chocolate milk is my ped of choice. Also carnatine.
i thought it was gonna be "stay natural"
@@Vengeance_Im Gotta tren (train) the sarms (arms)
Jesse is the man
Thank u bro!
no he's not
@@michaeldanvers7286 and yo ass talkin
I though he was the woman
Jesse and his $100+ pajamas 😅
Jesse man! your content just keeps evolving. honestly your interviewing skills are top notch. You ask thoughtful questions, and are able to adapt to the flow and improvise all while staying true to yourself - keeping it light and hilarious. you've come such a long way from chatting up the ladies in front of clubs asking them to squeeze your bicep 🤣 keep up the awesome work!
woooooohhhh im so glad to hear greg talking normally, once he said he talks normally when not making videos which of course i know, but with this interaction it made me seem him more normal instead of the usual character, hopefully we see more of that in the future
he talks normally quite a bit in his videos, it just depends on the topic
Jesse definitely folded when it came to asking Sam about steroids but from a UA-camr standpoint it’s probably best to not risk any future collabs with the fastest growing fitness influencer on the platform
He probably wasnt allowed to ask the question. No way faoud isnt gonna protect his golden goose
@@psysports9666exactly. Jesse didn’t fold, he was explicitly told he wasn’t allowed to ask those questions. Sam’s approach is very clearly don’t talk about it ever under any circumstances. Jesse isn’t the only one who has tried to ask him, pretty much everyone has. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s why we haven’t seen Sam on a lot of big podcasts despite his popularity. The dude could be on Joe Rogan tomorrow if he wanted to be but you know Joe would ask about that
nah, Rogan has talked a bunch about The Rock being on roids, but when he came on the podcast it was very clear that The Rock's media team wasn't allowing any real questions to be asked. The same would probably happen if Sam went on.@@ncramz1662
@@ncramz1662 I agree and i think its very deliberate hes does not talk about his steroid use, ever. Steroid usage somewhat contradicts his whole "enlightened lifter" shtick and car talks. Everything he says is still important dont get me wrong, i enjoy his videos, but steroids are a major part in why hes big and maybe he thinks that would hurt his image and bottom line if he would acknowledged that. In reality, at least to me, it does hurt his mr nice guy and gym bro image, because being open about roids and their negatives when you take them is important, otherwise you will impact your mostly young viewer-base negatively, because none of his fans will ever get as big as him without them, but sam is portraying something else differently to younger fans, work as hard as him and you will get big, which just isnt true.
@@ncramz1662w take bro
"unless your getting on stage and getting a check from this industry, i dont think its necessary" - exactly
U will.not get checks if u dont do them
How are you ever going to get on stage or be in a position to get the cheques if you're not on them? It's a catch 22.
@@jd9119 all the greats won their first shows natural. If you can't do that you don't have the genetics /
This was a great video man. Super informative especially with Dr.Mike.
Bro this topic is so important! Thanks man
5:50 said it the best. They only take it to even the playing field. If you don’t plan on competing don’t ever take shit
I understand what you are saying, but for a lot of bodybuilders the only real competition is with themselves. I started taking anabolics because i wanted to see what MY potential is. It really had nothing to do with anyone else.
Sucks they dont have a natural division...but then again it would just be like the Olympics with ppl sneaking what they can
@@goldnarms435for most bodybuilders the competition is the other guys. Same as with every other competitive sport. You arent going to the olympics to compete against yourself
That's such a losers excuse
@@BuffPomskyu can still compete natty just don’t expect to be in first unless ur compete in npc or wellness
I haven’t been clickbaited by a thumbnail in a while. Thanks for bringing that back Jesse.
He does it a lot.
Anybody woth a popular channel click baits
He also claims natty
@@Lewdacris916other than Sam yes
He is natty tho@@gitsurfer27
There´s some Jesse videos that are only for views or enterteinment, but videos like that are the ones that make me wanna subscribe even again, Excellent message.
Jesse, the production value of your constant and your editing skills from your editor is TV show level. Content keeps getting better! Keep it up man!
ive been waiting for this one
Hello sir have a great day
m.ua-cam.com/video/uZdv-TtiMkg/v-deo.html
8:02 @ dude totally went 🐱 🐈 when it came time to actually ask Sam about the juice
Yeah I thought the same… he didn’t say anything about it
He's not open about his peds but we all know he's on. I think he didn't ask through respect
@@Cudder_ then he probably shouldn’t have titled the vid “I investigated the fitness ind steroid epidemic “ . When He could have just called it “ I slobbed Suleks knob”
He likely asked off camera, and got a negative response
To all you sheep who says "Jesse folded with Sam". You guys have no idea how this works. Sam Sulek is protected by lawyers and mediapeople that litterally tells you which questions you can ask or not. Sam is a moneymashine like no-one else, he is protected like so.
First 15 seconds of the video - amazing. Lets see what you do with this one Jesse, loved the video with Urs on his channel aswell!!!
Interesting topic, lets see what kind of video magic you do in this one!
Very wholesome interaction with Noel there at the end. I hope one day I can be happy about the way I look aswell, wish I was sorrounded by people like you Jessi. Keep up the content
Greg is a real one for talking about something nobody on the internet will be willing to talk about.
this is one of the most discussed topics in the fitness community.
By far the best video you've made yet. People vastly underestimate just how dangerous steroids can be, how bad of an influence influencers can have, and why it's vital to max out one's true potential before making any potential regrettable decisions.
Love you and Noel, thx for all you guys have done. And the others.
When Noel said that u are an inspiration to him together with the late Joesthetics
Thats probably one of the coolest compliments I’ve heard cherish that moment brother.
Bro I love this video, between 19 and 21 years old I took steroids and it messed up the way I would look at myself so when I got off it was hard because libido immediately shot down, I had to regain my confidence again and get used to being natural and normal. No matter what even if you're taking trt you cannot stay on a cycle that long you have to eventually come off. The psychological affects after you take them will definitely change your perspective. The key is to love yourself, not damage yourself.
I was on TRT for a year but I did have “valid” reasons.
My testosterone was at 215mg. I believe normal range is 264-915.
While on it, I really did feel incredible. I also gained mass like crazy(obviously). I ballooned to 215 at 5’11. After being typically in the 184-190 range.
But the mood swings affected me and my wife and she hated it. Especially being the one to pin me twice a week.
I got off it and last time I got my blood drawn, I was at 450. While not high, it’s definitely not where it was(I still don’t know why I gained 200mg, after being off it for the last 8 months).
I will say, though the first 2 to 4 weeks were horrible. My anxiety was heighten, so bad, and I was getting panic attacks at work nonstop. I did feel like my Blood pressure was higher as well, which I HATED that feeling.
Now everything is normal but I don’t feel that “crazy rush” I did while on it.
This is such a crazy take on TRT. TRT is literally prescribed as a hormone replacement therapy that is intended to be taken long term, even lifelong. You can come off, but cycling TRT is literally pointless. Cycling test, which is the same drug, but not for the same reason, is what you’re talking about. TRT is for people struggling with T levels… test is for idiots wanting to cycle. TRT is quite literally regarded as a drug that should be used indefinitely lol
Taking steroids at 19 is ridiculous what is wrong with people
Very wise of you to look back on that and have this perspective. Much love to you bro 🙏
The raw meat diet is the natural equivalent to roids excluding juicey boi liver queen the raw meaters are ripped
Damn sam sulek got 3 cops guarding him and manager grey suit and one holding huge 3 meals for him 😂😂😂😂 i don't understand what is going on but sam seems important to a lot of people and they are preparing him for something huge
He just hit jack pot on being famous so companies jumping on him to sell products and stuff
Hes a golden goose currently
@@Lewdacris916agreed. lol they’re actually paying to take a picture with him 😂 wtf
It's baffling, honestly.
Jesse, Dr. Mike, coach Greg, plus many more in one video! This is amazing!❤
ua-cam.com/users/shortsrJ4gmVCprj0?si=8-x9X0x4FY64QEvE
I've always wanted to see a legit show/study like the Biggest Loser, but about gains. Showing basically how much of a change and improvement you could make with the right knowledge of your diet. Just like a 6 month thing where your Macros are tracked and met every day and with a custom workout plan for you just to show actual results. I think something like that would be a hit and show people you can actually achieve amazing results done right with the right knowledge and determination.
I would love that.
It would finally lay the Hollywood spiel of "6 months of training + chicken and brokkoli" to rest.
WOW! 😳 I'm truly thankful and grateful for this video. It's VERY eye-opening and sobering about so many aspects of the current fitness industry. Thank you😳
Love this. I have a 14yr old son who’s getting right into body building. Misinformation and glorification of steroids is rife, either indirect or otherwise, but the more these kids are exposed to guys who are openly on gear the more it’s normalised
That is a big problem people dont see i feel like. Everyone is like "they are open about the usage!" but saying you are juicing hard and not bring up all the negatives, will only romanticize it.
There's far more fear mongering over steroids than there is glorification, especially since many social media sites don't allow illegal drugs to be recommended or glorified.
@@psysports9666some people don't have negatives, besides what is a given in that their natural levels shut down. Some people get acne, and some people might have heart problems that steroids could make worse. That being said, every person in this video made the same sort of statement about how basically no one else besides them should take them. They all discouraged it, and that seemed to be the motive of this video.
Great video bout the reality of it, thx mate, really enjoyed this
For every like I will eat 1g of protein
Looks like you’re on a deficit buddy 😭😭
Best video so far bro. This was genuinely inspiring
That’s why I follow you brotha, all these guys sound real nice saying you shouldn’t do this and that even though they are all on gear. But you practice what you preach Jesse, stay natty forever bro don’t ever let the fitness industry get to you. Stay relentless 💪🏼
This was the first video I’ve watched of yours. I must say, it is a great video. It had great information 👍
This was such a fantastically done video I enjoyed watching this.
This is an interesting video, very informative and educational. A lot of the things that i learned in the video, my health classes never would have taught me. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank u!
bro this game out 3 minutes ago
Blud didn’t even start the video☠️
You’re a bot
Everything in this video is common knowledge that everyone already knows
Noel is such a kind soul!
Yes he is!
YES HE IS!!!!!!!
Unreal video yet again Jesse, educational but content heavy video, thanks man, Stay Relentless 💪
Jesse youre so inspiring, I hope to one day bring the same positivity as you do to the gym community in Australia!
Your videos got me into weight lifting Jesse thanks man👍
I appreciate u bro!!
Amazing too see yo at there!!! Thanks for the motivation Jesse
stay relentless!!
this has been my favourite vid of yours in a while bro
Make more video like this to inspire and motivate people... This is the man ❤️
Great video man thanks for bringing this topic up. I feel like a lot of young men needs to hear this from “professionals”
thanks for watching man!
Nothing wrong with roids if they are quality. Here in Germany after 45 years the doctor prescribe you trt. Medical quality roids. My father is on trt. My uncle is on trt. And they look young and strong
Yo, just finished watching this vid and gotta say, it's eye-opening AF! 💪 The industry's blowing up, but so are the risks. Props to Jesse for keeping it real and shedding light on this stuff. 🙌
Stay natural, stay safe, y'all! #RealTalk #StayRelentless 🚀✌
Such an important video. Glad you made this video, that too on such an important forum.
Love that you did this video!
Jesse awesome video. Thanks for motivating us all. Great to see you talk the Greg about these topics. Stay relentless brother!
Hey bro I’m a big fan, I’ve been following for a while. Keep up the great work.
I've seen you in so many videos, I'm surprised that I'm not subscribed until now. Thank you for this video. I hope that young people considering taking PEDs see this and make the decision to stay life natty. Be kind : what a great message
Sio instead of straight up asking Sam the question you make a video click baiting him and shade dissing him? Classy
jesse this video is phenomenal. got chills at the ending. u killed this.
Thanks so much bro!
Love your videos bro, watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
I appreciate u!
That’s where Noel is from!
@@jkgaming0565yeah I live in south Africa too
best video of your channel, loved it
thanks jesse, hoping on TRT rn thanks to you!
That hug and moment between Noel and Hesse was so beautiful 🥹
So looking forward to this upload!!
Why does Greg not sound like a bird in this video?😂
your cute
You’re the man Jesse - thanks for your solid content! 🤙🏼
I love the honesty of the community
Great video keep up the great work legend
Another awesome video by the man! Thank you sir
Thanks for watching! I appreciate u!
The issue is they want to be influencers the second they start lifting. I see so many teenagers at my gym who film their whole workouts and spend more time setting up shots/reviewing film rather than just focusing on getting a great lift. Get big THEN become an influencer. Learn the ropes of bodybuilding and what works best for you, it will give you much better progress in the long run and then you can share your knowledge to others. Nothing in life is instantly given, you’ve got to put in the work
Superbly positive video, excellent job.
Such a well put video . Great work Jesse.
Thank u bro!
@JesseJamesWest you didn't ask Sam about his PED usage
Awesome video as always Jesse
Thanks man! I appreciate u!
Great video/message! 💯🙌
Great video, at 57 and getting into the gym and training in the 80's I am so glad I was never tempted to take steroids or anything unnatural. I gave up powerlifting at 25 as I was making 10kg lifting gains in 12m and watching others make 50kg+ gains. I never made my target 150kg bench, I was 2.5kg off for 2 years, I'd hit my limit. I loved Arnie and coveted his physique, I improved and was stronger and leaner than most. I am delighted to say I'm still squating, still lifting and still heathy. All those I know who had these unbelievable gains are not so lucky, don't do it guys, there is no point in my view. Unless you are a professional bodybuilder and then it's trading health for cash, which is as crazy. As you get Older you realise that health becomes more and more valuable. The idea of putting an inch on your biceps and risking your health is as bizarre as it sounds !
8:34 Bro on the right carrying Sams meals
Lol his entourage is crazy lol, got huge ass guys carrying his food
Huge respect for making this video Jesse, the message in this video is really important. I think a lot of people are searching for fulfilment and desire external recognition, but not enough people are actually educated on negatives vs the benefits. So great job.
That moment with Noel was beautiful ❤
the way you did the ads in this video was pretty smart. I actually watched the whole ad because i didn't feel like skipping use code JESSE lol
The most awaited collab
Dr. Mike making friends with literally everybody 😂
mad respect to you Jesse 🙌🙌🔥🔥
Another amazing video by you ❤
This guy is best when it comes to making epic collabs within the fitness industry !
I appreciate u!
i love how sam sulek seems like an ordinary guy yet the respect and how people change their tone and become humble when talking to him is crazy.
money talks. If he would be a nobody with 1000 followers on insta, not one person would even look his way
It has nothing to do with who he is as a person and everything to do with how famous he is.
This is an important video, thank you jesse🙏🏼
You are the best ❤ brother keep going 💪
Noel maan, I love this guy with all my heart.
yo jesse, love the content, i personally really needed this video. thanks dude!
Thank you for this video!
Nice informative content 👊jess
That security around Sam Sulek is crazyyy
is it necessary though?
@@soluciones11s.a.s81obviously lmao anyone with a functioning brain knows that all the muscles in the world won't stop someone with a weapon
Yea but in that case every influencer on that event should have one. I just did not know that Sam was so high profile compared to Noel (for example)@@anomaly3215
Why would someone want to harm him at a fitness expo though
@@chancefluke7833 that’s my point. Like, maybe fans nowadays are different haha

Man! it is such a great feeling watching sam everywhere and everyone wanting to talk/meet him, even the big fitness youtubers/influencers. Sam is such a humble guy, he is indeed gonna take reins after Cbum for popularizing the bodybuilding scene.
Not really. But hes better than most other fake natty and manipulative influencers outthere. He could be more open about the reality tho, you cant get as big as him without PEDs but he refuses to talk about it, its weird.
I’m really happy you got Coach Gregg in one of your videos again.❤️
yessir!
you are my inspiration man (: keep it up bro ,never wanted to take steroid
