**for a UPDATED Part 2 of this story: ua-cam.com/video/uGV-kF1-Fzs/v-deo.html This was an amazing story and an honor to make. Long live our action heroes. Credit to Graham Bensinger for the amazing interview. I urge everyone to check out the full interview on his channel.
When he played he man in 1987 and the punisher in 1990 I remember growing up wanting be like dolph. So at 13 maybe 14 I started lifting weights cause I wanted be like he was in size and muscle. He was huge inspiration to me.
More prop a tan duh… post the 2020 forced medicine that people have taken, cancer rates have exploded.. now they’ll try to blame everything they can. Hotlines don’t “give cancer” they only increase growth hormone and cell tissue size, including cancers that people already have. Which most do but is dormant or such minuscule levels. By the way that medicine they pushed on people has been proven to disrupt the P53 gene which is the cancer suppression gene in humans. Basically it means after you get that shot, 30-90 days after your bodies gene that stops cancer growth is disarmed. And cancer can start growing rapidly.
They diagnosed my fiancé with cancer 20 years ago. They told her she needed to have surgery to remove it (and her entire reproductive system) immediately. We were devastated, but it was my wife that said no, I want a second opinion. Turns out it was fibroids and not cancer, we now have 2 kids and are happily married. Listen to them but also listen to your instincts and make your own decisions. Peace and love to all my fellow brothers and sisters.
Doctors are like mechanics. Some are crap and some are excellent. It sucks that crap doctors can even be licensed. Ive had my run in with these types that are clueless and you’re like wtfff
@@TheAnonymous1one Frankly there should be a board made exclusively to decide if they should lose their license. No doctor should be operating alone to the extent that he or she comes to such a life altering conclusion and turns out to be wrong. I would've assumed that many doctors in the hospital would review the findings to come to a conclusion and a treatment plan. A decision like that should be rechecked by other doctors and it should be mandatory, especially ifs one lives in the US and already pays enough to fund a family of 5 for a decade with the kind of money they have to be for that extensive care.
We can only imagine how many people were killed or tortured by doctors. Especially since the plandemic. There needs to be a system that controls them much better and holds them accountable.
I also grew up in the 80s and 90s and these actors were the super heros of that time. Remember watching the rocky movies and movies like blood sport and really get inspired. Times were different back then as kids most of us were very physically active, constantly riding bikes, playing street hockey, baseball, basketball, fighting other kids. When we weren't in school we were outside untill we heard our moms yelling our names it was time to come in for the night. Technology has made alot of kid's soft and got them rather playing on a tablet or some device rather than doing something physically active.
Wow, this brought back a ton of memories. Playing box ball on a sidewalk square & stick ball on those one-way streets. "Car!"...& everybody moves out the way.
I remember growing up here in the U.K in the 70’s & 80’s , the local parks were always packed in summertime . Everyone playing football or cricket , outdoor swimming pools packed . Nowadays the parks are empty all summer as the kids are all in their bedrooms playing their consoles or staring at their phones . While eating junk food provided by the parents . No wonder we have such a child obesity problem here and in the U.S
True..I remember talking on a house phone hearing my CD player or cassette and watching Michael jordan dominate the nba on TV. UT yes I use to go outside and play but there were lots of gangs in the 80s and 90s so I wouldn't stay out long
Evryone says that. I also was born in 1980. To me it’s the mid 90s - 9/11 we’re the best years. We grew up before n after Internet. The last generation
It’s so hard to talk about without getting emotional. I’m 6 yrs removed from my original diagnosis and I had 6 months at the time. I’m 💯 cancer free today and still anytime someone asks me about it I can barely talk. The emotional roller coaster your life goes through is indescribable.
I’m impressed by how Dolph handled this. No excuses, he wasn’t looking for sympathy, he has lived an incredible life. The physiques of this era and some of the UFC fighters in the 90’s also had a mountain of an impact/inspiration for me also. Definitely wishing Dolph all the best!
What a B.S steroids does not cause cancer he is full of 💩💩 if he had cancer is because he was predisposed because of family history of cancer and other chemicals added to foods that are carcinogens, why does he blame steroids? I don't think he used that much because he never really had muscles he was tall and small like an average guy, not even professional bodybuilders who take mega doses of steroids get cancer that is pure ignorance.
@Jim D He is full of 💩💩 steroids do not cause cancer there are many other factors, genetic predisposition, chemicals added to foods and water, etc. He didn't take high doses for a long time he is a drama queen, he wasn't even big at all, professional bodybuilders take massive amounts of gear and I have never heard a single bodybuilder dying of cancer, mostly for heart disease which is not caused by steroid use, it is because they are so overweight that alone causes high blood pressure and a lot of stress on the heart and kidneys and over eating is another cause , hundreds of thousands of people die from heart disease every year and never took steroids, food kills far more people than steroids do stop fearmongering.
When your brain recalls that time of your life and you’re asked to put it into words your emotions are uncontrollable. Especially when you were told this is it get your affairs in order. I’m getting choked up right now just typing it and thinking what my family went through w me. And my original diagnosis was 6 yrs ago(I’m cancer free today but what a ride)
@@ДимаКуренков-ъ3ь Сейчас почти вылечился,прогноз благоприятный!Первый доктор его практически приговорил,сказал,что жить осталось немного(т.к. в печени была еще опухоль),хорошо,что Дольф решил мнение еще одного врача послушать(женщины,которую в видео показали).Она ему назначила другое лечение,которое ему помогло!Будем надеяться,что все окончательно пройдет!!
@@ultimatemassive9501 You're not sure how rapid cell-growing hormones would cause unwanted cells to grow beyond what the immunes system can fight?? Ok - that's actually quite funny (and sad).
Dolph is a legend , wish the best for him . Its good he didnt lie saying he only did roids a few months , 10 years on and off is a fair amount of time but not like many lifelong bbers . Hope his body stays cancer free 👍
He’s a very tall guy , it’s hard to look muscular at that height without taking a helluva lot of drugs (hence why most bodybuilders are short) . Problem is Hollywood is all about the image , so he had to take the drugs to keep the work coming in . I’m guessing others , like Dwayne Johnson , are in the same catch-22 position , he’s about as natural as a pfizer production line
If anyone thinks steroids cause cancer is an ignorant person, steroids are NOT carcinogens, it is a genetic factor, family history of cancer he had a predisposition, many other things can trigger a cancer like some chemicals added to foods, flouride on the tap water, pesticides sprayed on vegetables, nitrates added to processed meats, etc. No bodybuilder ever died from cancer , mostly from heart or kidneys failure.
This hit home for me. I’m 10 months past my own kidney surgery. Mine was cancer too, orange sized tumor. The had to take the kidney, but they got it all and I’m back to kickboxing every day. Dolph has always been an inspiration to me and my favorite action star since the 80’s. I’m 43 and feeling better than I have in years. Never give up on your life and find a good doctor you can trust! I’m grateful for everything I have.
It's great to hear a actor being honest about his steroid use . He is one of many actors that took steroids for roles . They still take steroids but they all deny taking it . I appreciate this video Jon you pick great subjects .
I LOVE Dolph! The man is a straight up genius and I love his honesty about his gear usage. I would LOVE to see more of this type of interview from folks today like the Rock and others who are in the media.
Never thought I'd see Ivan Drago himself in a Jon Bravo video, but here we are, and im digging it. Some of my favorite action flicks have Lundgren in them, so it's safe to say I'm a big fan.
Absolute respect Dolph has been one of my biggest heroes whom I looked up to the most since I was a kid To admit to having take gear really takes a lot of courage and to admit to having make a mistake is even bigger Tbh I would’ve thought just as he did back in the day if I was on gear like “well I’m doing a tiny dose, what can go wrong” but you never know, nobody never truly knows until the damage shows up. He won the most important battle and that’s what really matters the most
Truly amazing guy. Tall, handsome, movie star, 4th Dan black belt, chemical engineering degree, a masters degree, MIT scholarship… has anyone else ever achieved as much?
Very few to be sure. Another that comes to mind is Navy SEAL, Astronaut (and Pilot), as well as certified Doctor Jonny Kim. I'm soooo glad Dolph won his battle. The world is a better, far more interesting place with him in it, he's a great dude🙏🤘👊🇺🇲
I enjoyed your input on you and your father's mis-diagnosis and the importance of getting another opinion. Great advice. Dolph finding that doctor = miracle. I can envision how despondent he was when he first met her. That is bone chilling. Cancer will drop you to your knees! Never give up.
Great story bravo. Dolph was a physical freak. Hard for anyone to look like that even with steriods. Great genetics. Also a brilliant mind and most people dont understand how smart he is.
his physique was obtainable without steroids. he just stood out cause he was a extremely good looking, big men with masculine facial structure. Of course steroids cant let u grow in size and they will not make u look better when it comes to ur face. But muscle wise most men can get his physique with proper training and good meals. especially when u are rich like him and u have personal trainers.
@@philipmazzuca2269 come on bro if internet expert Mr. Max says its possible naturally then it must be 😂 i see people with Dolph’s physique everyday on the streets, its so easy 😂 ( sarcasm)
@@luka1932 u dont see it cause most people will never have the balls to train constantly for minimum 5 years with the right technique. Its either a lack of knowledge, motivation or both. Ur probably not used to the fitness industry, its defenitely a physique thats naturally obtainable.
@@luka1932 im not a internet expert. im a calisthenics athlete with a degree in nutrition. i know natural guys that have crazier bodys then Dolph. Dont assume things if u dont have any clue about the topic. If u sit at home with an average body and never put any work into it, u should not be the one arguing. Im also not arguing with someone that studied rocket science, because obviously i dont have any clue about the topic.
So pleased he came good in the end, I watched my mum waste away through cancer 3 1/2 yrs ago. Then I heard Dave Palumbo on one of his Q&A’s say you can’t get “C” from steroid and gh use but if you have “C” it will increase it while on gear. Glad you come out the other end all good Dolph.
Heart disease as well....even TRT can have the same effect...speeding up cancers.. that's why the body naturally decreases testosterone to protect us from disease as we age..
STAY STRONG DOLPH, PLEASE STAY ALIVE AND DON'T GIVEUP, YOUR THE BEST, GREAT ACTOR, GREAT FATHER, GREAT HUMAN BEING, I'M GLAD YOU BEAT CANCER AND I HOPE IT NEVER RETURNS, GOD BLESS BRO.
STAY STRONG DOLPH, PLEASE STAY ALIVE AND DON'T GIVEUP, YOUR THE BEST, GREAT ACTOR, GREAT FATHER, GREAT HUMAN BEING, I'M GLAD YOU BEAT CANCER AND I HOPE IT NEVER RETURNS, GOD BLESS BRO.
The facts are that he is in his 70s and people do get cancer, and we all die. As you get older you watch people slowly pass away and it starts early. I'm in my early 50s and over 1/3 of my graduating class has passed away. And none of them ever did anabolics.
@@OnTheWall81 Lol....ok he is 65 but people die we are not immortal. I think you missed the point. I never stated it as fact it was a generalization doesn't matter if he was 59 but you keep on with the facts...💩
I have always loved Dolph since I first noticed him in Rocky 4…. I could watch that movie over and over and never get tired of it… he’s a true hero for battling the cancer and respect him that he wanted to keep this within his family and not make it a media spectacle…..my sister is a cancer survivor so of course hearing his story blew me away….I am a firm believer in God and believe in miracles…. Praying that Dolph keeps the faith and stays strong…. To all those that have cancer, my hearts and thoughts are with you and you’re all true heroes in my eyes…. May God bless you
There is no correlation with steroid use causing cancer. MAYBE if someone already has cancer certain steroids may increase the growth of cancer as some increase IGF-1 a little but causing it no way mate.
What an eloquent article, your work is always the perfect balance of fact and opinion, keep up the good work bro, your killing it, Dolph is deffo a true real life hero 👊👊👊
I have never seen him in an actual interview. Its fantastic. He gives no excuses, no BS. He did what he did and now he is dealing with it. Also, he seems very intelligent. That is something unfortunately you never see in his roles. I wish him the best and love that he tells is like it is.
My mother is currently battling cancer for the 2nd time and her doctors are horrible they told her the same thing 2-3 years to live . One of her doctors keeps rescheduling on her since last august. I sent her this video in hopes that she changes doctors or gets more opinions .
Get different doctors. I had a family member die from cancer. I would think they would be more aggressive in killing the cancer. They were not. Chemo isnt the only option, but they make you do it, then tell you to wait while the cancer still grows, then its too late
@@JohnSmith-xu7ev chemo is a death sentence. Dandelion root extract, bitter apricot seeds, eliminate sugars, lower carbs, eliminate inflammation, the list goes on...
Most of the doctors sucks, they consider patients just a number.. They made a massive mistake with my mother, not noticing cancer on her lungs.. after some time it spread became larger and she passed away
Dolph was my favorite dude. My favorite Punisher too. I wanted to be Dolph when I was a kid. He just felt like the most genuine badass. As an adult I still feel the same.
Very well done Jonny Bravo... I totally admire and respect Dolph now more than ever, especially because he beat cancer which is the battle of his actual life. I hope he lives a full, long, healthy, and happy life following what he has went through. Also, my hat is off to you my man for the incredible story you brought to life with your commentary and telling the story in a way that all story's should be told. Thank you for bringing us this story. Blessings and much favor upon you and your family my friend for all the good you do for others. - Akmed
He did a great service to all the young (and not so young anymore) people that look up to him, by not dismissing the role of steroids in this turn of his disease. There is no proof, but he still said it, and you can tell he did it not for himself, but to prevent others from going through this.
Great vid..props to Dolph for his honesty and not minimalizing his steroid use like so many that say they only took small dosages a few times.. example Kali Muscle
What a B.S steroids does not cause cancer he is full of 💩💩 if he had cancer is because he was predisposed because of family history of cancer and other chemicals added to foods that are carcinogens, why does he blame steroids? I don't think he used that much because he never really had muscles he was tall and small like an average guy, not even professional bodybuilders who take mega doses of steroids get cancer that is pure ignorance.
@@mynameisnobody3931 well I got one better the white house Chef Andre Rush claims he doesn't even know what steroids are and he only sleeps 3hrs a day and does 2222 pushups everyday
Excellent comments Jon. Yes the thrust of what he blamed was GH. Saying it's in combination with testosterone is just part of him saying 'my bad' twice, as he alluded to. GH is well documented or at least soundly speculated to increase the growth of unwanted tissue in some people. Long live Dolph
What difference is there specifically between natural GH from fasting and then using the synthetic injectable GH? If a person has a tumor naturally, and then begins to fast for a while, will the natural increase in GH cause their tumor to grow? I keep reading and hearing that fasting can shrink tumors and get rid of cancer...
@@shred9475 Yeah i’ve been in the game 30 years and have never heard of anyone getting cancer due to roids . Seems a bit of a stretch to say the least , in fact a lot of roids were developed to negate the side effects of cancer and wasting diseases such as AIDS . Yes , orals taken in extremis COULD cause liver damage and some injectables like tren can have adverse effects on the kidneys , but cancer ? Nope
I think this happens so often this country. People need to realize that not every doctor knows everything and you have to get multiple opinions esp on serous issues like this.
Good video. Sean Claude was also my hero as a kid. Think about how many people look up to the Rock and believe they can achieve that naturally. I respect the ones who speak the truth.
I am glad I've always been natural and still stay that way. Just not worth it. It's hard for anyone of these heros of our time to admit anything so I admire Dolph for talking about it. Really glad he went to get a 2nd opinion. Pretty impressive how he handled it and was able to recover. Overall a very inspirational person for many who lived a really incredible life. Wish him the best.
Thank you so much,I can’t tell how long I have,I guess now it’s the only time I have to reach out to as many fans I can to return the sincere appreciation and sincere wishes of love. Thank you so much❤️.
I’ve been on testosterone for 2 years 150 mg a week, and here in south Florida I do blood work and check levels every 3 months, my doctor has worked with chuck norris , nfl players bodybuilders, actors , he has autograph photos of them on the wall in the office telling him thanks and what not, he’s told me that testosterone isn’t the problem, it’s the igf 1 , anavar, dbol, deca, halo, insulin , diaretics , hgh that’s what’s gonna mess you up
I found myself very lucky to be born in the middle 70’s and to have grown up in the 80’s golden era with so many inspiring actors , martial artist and heroes as such as Arnold, Stallone, Van Damme , Chuck Norris, Dolph , Lorenzo Lamas, Bruce Lee , 80’s were the golden era
Yes , born 73 here , we definately had the best music , tv & films growing up . Speaking of Bruce Lee , I was a big fan , but weirdly was an even bigger fan of Bolo Yeung , he’s still alive and kicking at 76 I’m happy to report
@@bobmathews9072 Bolo was a huge fan of Bruce and has many great memories working with him...he once challenged him to see how good he really was ..and said he was surprised at his blinding speed and powerful kicks ..which he had several world records...one was kicking a 700 lb heavy bag ..14 ft. to the ceiling...most people couldn't even move the bag.😮.
Steroids also made him a star and made him millions. Without steroids he probably would have been a no body. The good thing with him is that he took the risks and got all the rewards. As most people take risks and get shit
That's a good interview. Dolph has always impressed me as being a genuine & decent person. I saw another interview of his where he speaks from the heart.
I know, people get cancer that have never touched anything. Then the other thing is people say heart attacks, but how many women and men die every day from heart failure that never touched anything. I believe if its going to happen its going to happen.
Awesome Sauce that he beat the battle that many people have lost... I remember the man back in the 80s but it never crossed my mind that he was not natural..
I'd assume that's because roids assist in muscle gain but you aren't gaining 20 lbs on a cycle of dense muscle u are gaining water weight for the most part at least thats how it went for me and I've ran on and off for 3 years
God bless him and everyone else out there that survived, and to the fighters that didn't. When he started talking about the tumor in his liver and what needed to be done, it brought back a lot of memories. 🙏
@@ch4nfusorry, obvious question based on what you said! Many thanks. Jordan Peterson probably has enough views but I'll bear it in mind for most people eg Jon!
This is the kinda shit that pisses me off when ppl say "THEY THINK steroids or HGH gave them cancer"... My Grandpa who's alive today at 83 yrs old TO THIS DAY is still on TRT & HRT (HGH therapy) since 1992, my Uncle who's 65 is also on TRT & HRT & began doing that in 1999 & before that he was blasting 1000+ mgs of Test/week,400 mgs Deca/week, 600 mgs Masteron/week,& 5 IU's of HGH per day & he did that exact stack for 20+ yrs (he didn't start HGH til 1988)& he's still alive and healthy as an ox and has been on 200 mgs test/week for TRT & 2.5 IU's of HGH/day for his HRT from his doctor since 1999 & is still on it and no cancer ever. My Dad who's 67 starting abusing steroids in 1974 & for 2 yrs he'd run an 8 week cycle then take 8 weeks off then repeat until 1977 when he decided to blast 24/7/365 w/my Uncle & Grandpa & he did that until he finally went to a men's clinic to get 250 mgs test/week,3 IU's HGH/day, 80 mgs if Anavar/day & I forgot to mention that my Dad,Uncle ,& Grandpa also always have HCG,Clomid,& Proviron that they take regularly, the crazy thing is that prostate cancer is very hereditary on my Dad's side of the family, 2 of my other Uncles (2 brothers of my Dad & Uncle's) have been hearing all these idiots like this chode since the 70's/80's & they never touched steroids not even once in their life,& that means no TRT either ever & they uzdd to beg my Dad,Uncle,& Grandpa to get off steroids cuz it's gna give them cancer that they'll die from (they mainly meant prostate cancer cuz of how hereditary it is]& guess what happened..... my 2 Uncle's who never touched steroids in their lives both died of prostate cancer in the last 7 yrs while the 3 who've been using heavy doses of gear since the 70's are 100% healthy. Ask Dolph Lundgren here how he can explain that Arnold Schwarzenegger is Stull alive and no cancer ever...... or what about guys like Hulk Hogan, Vince McMahon, Ronnie Coleman,Jay Cutler, Lee Priest etc are all Still old, alive,& never had cancer? U sound like an absolute idiot, u are an idiot and I beg of u Dolph to show any proof u have that links steroids to cancer,and I'm not talking about finding other articles from idiots like Lyle Alzado who claimed steroids gave him cancer cuz he's an idiot too,show me some medical data that proves that steroid use,abuse,or major abuse causes cancer.... U can't find any medical data that says that cuz it doesn't exist. I'm sorry you got cancer & trust me when I say that I'm very happy for you that you're a cancer survivor,but please stop spreading lies as if they're facts when all ur doing is speculating or looking for a scape goat.
Amazing story. I love Rocky 4. Classic. Rocky vs. Drago is a story for the ages. I’m 43 and recently discovered I have hypogonadism. My body was producing less than 175 ng/dL… Never roided, pituitary and thyroid were okay, no depression, no trauma to the nuts ever. Boiled down to genetics for me. I’ve been on doctor-prescribed testosterone cypionate (400 mg per week (200 mg shots on Mondays and Thursdays)). I have to take for the rest of my life. I get bloodwork checked regularly. Last time I did bloodwork my T was 790. I have to take a baby aspirin daily for the rest of my life to thin my blood. I also have to donate blood regularly to decrease and keep my red blood cell count in line. My life has improved dramatically in many ways. And I owe it all to my wife that recognized something was wrong… I teach my 18-year old son to stay away from steroids, SARMs, peptides, HRT/TRT; that I’m only on TRT because I HAVE to be. Be safe out their and take care of ur body. U only get one.
@@NemeanLion- come on man. We both know steroids didnt cause him cancer dude. And youre right, he didnt even SAY they did outright. Its Literally either a genetic predisposition, he was a severe heavy drinking closet alcoholic/drug user, or the damn poke did him in. My gut says its most likely the last one being the most likely candidate. Its absolutely not just heart attacks, clots, and strokes associated withem. Everything from turbo cancers, auto immune diseases, to hell you name it are popping up now in folks.
At no point during this interview does Lundgren claim that steroids gave him cancer. He was merely speculating and pondering about his prior PED use 25 years prior to the diagnosis.
@@AS-ug2vq Not everyone who uses PEDs is huge. Depends on which PED you use, diet, and how you train etc. A Tour De France competitor who uses PEDs is going to look a lot different than a powerlifter who does.
I went to high school with a guy that got on steroids while in his 20's. I saw him at the 10 year reunion and was shocked. He was gone 3 years later from kidney and liver failure.
A similar story for the chef at one of the worlds best restaurant, Alinia in Chicago. The chef, Grant Atchaz got cancer and was given months to live. The cancer killed his sense of taste. He went to another doctor who put him on a chemo therapy regime., and he was cured. Theres a good documentary about him on NF.
If Dolph is telling the truth about only using 150mg a week of test then I sincerely doubt it had anything to do with his cancer. On the other hand, if he was using other anabolics and/or GH on top of the test then maybe it did play a role in the cancer.
@@bobmathews9072 yeah 150 is a relatively moderate TRT dose. Unless you already have low test you're basically shutting down your natural production for little to no benefit.
@@AllPainNoGains incorrect. Naturally your testosterone fluctuates throughout the day, but they also fluctuate over the course of the year, and over the course of a lifetime.. This fluctuation is eliminated when on TRT thus giving the user a more stable testosterone level throughout the day, which is in itself a huge benefit performance wise, especially if you are training all day. This doesn’t come without risk though for there are medically proven side effects of replacing testosterone at any level artificially. But that’s another discussion.
@@xdmuscle I understand all that. I didn't mean that 150 is pointless. My intended meaning was that if you have low testosterone, then 150 could give you significant benefits, but if you have naturally high testosterone then you may not get enough benefit to justify suppressing your own natural production, especially in the long term.
Graham is a great interviewer and I will definitely check out the full interview, thank you 🙏. Another great production as well and I hope you have a great day too brother 🤝💙
In the 70s ...the biggest superstars were Ali,.. Arnold,..and Bruce Lee ....they were also international stars ...(which made them larger than life)....they were all at the top of there game and idolized by the world for their achievements and great personalities....they touched and motivated millions.
First I've heard of this. Lets be honest. Every big guy at the gym is taking test. Most will say TRT but things are different for men these days. If we dont look good at the beach we dont exist. Im glad you've covered this for so many reasons. Men and women are expected to look a certain way. Maybe you should get into this more. Everyone is doing something these days. Respect to Dolph for saying the truth. But ive always thought GH is super healthy !!! Everyone, men and women are taking this. Its amazing stuff.
@@texluh but docs are prescribing it so easily. As long as I stay under 6iu per day he says it's fine.... I've been using this on and off for many years and nothing has enlarged but my shoulders, and bigger everything. It also eats body fat like crazy. Everyone who's got money is on this. I'm told just stay within the proper dosage. Although my head and neck are much bigger than a normal person's. But I thought that was due to my size...
@@johntaylor-lo8qx I'm speculating that you want reassurance nothing will go wrong. Nothing wrong with what you're saying. I'm not a doctor. Doctors don't hesitate, you keep saying. No wonder. It's a medication. Everyone has to weigh the risks and benefits. The NHS here doesn't hesitate to supply me with prednisolone. The risk profile is much higher than GH I think, but it benefits me. I guess I'll avoid the bad side effects from it. Most healthier people do. Also even the inhaler I take could damage heart and bones. Stallone is older than Lungdren. He's admitted GH, probably for much longer. He's not had cancer as far as we know. Some people don't have the gene making them prone to cancer. If I were you, I wouldn't worry. I'm happier taking just 180 mg pw test than GH from a side effects point of view, but when I'm older the benefit of GH might be more and I might change that view.
@@JonnyBravoTV same here , never been keen on the gh side of things , too many variables , give me straightforward test-e , deca for the joints , tren-e & winny for the summer cut and i’m good to go
is it possible van damme was natural? His physique was very consistent over a long period of time - or am i being very naive? But yeah, it disappointing when certain action stars want to pretend they have super impressive bodies without using any drugs ( . . . The Rock)
@@TimmyTurner421 you might be right, but it's not like the guy was huge or anything. If you look at his physique in Bloodsport or Kickboxer (my personal favorite) he was very ripped, which obviously helps give the illusion of more muscle than there actually is. I just looked at some Kickboxer scenes again. It's really not a crazy body. Does he get much bigger in the 90's?
Way of telling if someone is “on” . The traps (and to a lesser extent the delts) . Every single time . That’s where the androgen receptors are . Hell , if you’re on a decent amount of test & tren you’ll have traps that look like a 300lb powerlifter without doing a single shrug
Martial arts is about movement, psychology, spirituality & fun. Big muscles is the western perception of power. Best stay moderately fit naturally & be happy
If I remember correct JCVD had some gyno in some of his flicks. If an actor has anything more than “a little muscle” they are juicing. They are actors not bodybuilders. Think how hard it is to get jacked “living the lifestyle “ do you think these actors are eating 6 x day, sleeping 8 hrs at night and taking a nap. Doing cardio in am then lifting later. Nope they are getting as big as they can as fast as they can. IE anabolics
My brother brought home Muscle and Fitness magazine, 1986, and it was a black background with Dolph Lungreen on the cover with a woman. We were both hooked into bodybuilding from that magazine. We had been motivated before, but now, we had the knowledge from Joe Weider and all the fantastic articles. Could not get enough.
Dolph, my brother is a dr. He has told me about the anti cancer benefits of B17. You can buy this anywhere on the net. Cancer survivor myself. Hope this reaches you. Prayer too. Blessings.
I mean him speculating doesn’t mean that’s what caused his cancer. There’s millions of people that die from cancer and they don’t even know what growth hormone is or have ever taken Any type of anabolic steroid.
**for a UPDATED Part 2 of this story:
ua-cam.com/video/uGV-kF1-Fzs/v-deo.html This was an amazing story and an honor to make. Long live our action heroes. Credit to Graham Bensinger for the amazing interview. I urge everyone to check out the full interview on his channel.
When he played he man in 1987 and the punisher in 1990 I remember growing up wanting be like dolph. So at 13 maybe 14 I started lifting weights cause I wanted be like he was in size and muscle. He was huge inspiration to me.
More prop a tan duh… post the 2020 forced medicine that people have taken, cancer rates have exploded.. now they’ll try to blame everything they can. Hotlines don’t “give cancer” they only increase growth hormone and cell tissue size, including cancers that people already have. Which most do but is dormant or such minuscule levels. By the way that medicine they pushed on people has been proven to disrupt the P53 gene which is the cancer suppression gene in humans. Basically it means after you get that shot, 30-90 days after your bodies gene that stops cancer growth is disarmed. And cancer can start growing rapidly.
Hgh prescribed to me at a clinic put me in a coma on life support screwing up my pancreas was on life support 21 days
This is false stairs on give you cancer
@@nickmorgan8434 Whaaat??... any side effects now? I remember Stallone was caught with suitcases of hgh in Australia way back when.
They diagnosed my fiancé with cancer 20 years ago. They told her she needed to have surgery to remove it (and her entire reproductive system) immediately. We were devastated, but it was my wife that said no, I want a second opinion. Turns out it was fibroids and not cancer, we now have 2 kids and are happily married. Listen to them but also listen to your instincts and make your own decisions. Peace and love to all my fellow brothers and sisters.
Doctors are like mechanics. Some are crap and some are excellent. It sucks that crap doctors can even be licensed. Ive had my run in with these types that are clueless and you’re like wtfff
🙏 🙏 😊
@@TheAnonymous1one
Frankly there should be a board made exclusively to decide if they should lose their license.
No doctor should be operating alone to the extent that he or she comes to such a life altering conclusion and turns out to be wrong.
I would've assumed that many doctors in the hospital would review the findings to come to a conclusion and a treatment plan.
A decision like that should be rechecked by other doctors and it should be mandatory, especially ifs one lives in the US and already pays enough to fund a family of 5 for a decade with the kind of money they have to be for that extensive care.
That's insane
We can only imagine how many people were killed or tortured by doctors. Especially since the plandemic. There needs to be a system that controls them much better and holds them accountable.
Worked with him for couple months on kindergarten cop 2 and he was a champion...he is a truly good guy...met his family and was a real honor
I also grew up in the 80s and 90s and these actors were the super heros of that time. Remember watching the rocky movies and movies like blood sport and really get inspired. Times were different back then as kids most of us were very physically active, constantly riding bikes, playing street hockey, baseball, basketball, fighting other kids. When we weren't in school we were outside untill we heard our moms yelling our names it was time to come in for the night. Technology has made alot of kid's soft and got them rather playing on a tablet or some device rather than doing something physically active.
Yea it's a shame now cus kids have no idea how it was.. Crazy part is their heroes now are kids... We used to look up to adults.
Wow, this brought back a ton of memories. Playing box ball on a sidewalk square & stick ball on those one-way streets. "Car!"...& everybody moves out the way.
I remember growing up here in the U.K in the 70’s & 80’s , the local parks were always packed in summertime . Everyone playing football or cricket , outdoor swimming pools packed . Nowadays the parks are empty all summer as the kids are all in their bedrooms playing their consoles or staring at their phones . While eating junk food provided by the parents . No wonder we have such a child obesity problem here and in the U.S
True..I remember talking on a house phone hearing my CD player or cassette and watching Michael jordan dominate the nba on TV. UT yes I use to go outside and play but there were lots of gangs in the 80s and 90s so I wouldn't stay out long
Evryone says that. I also was born in 1980. To me it’s the mid 90s - 9/11 we’re the best years. We grew up before n after Internet. The last generation
It’s so hard to talk about without getting emotional. I’m 6 yrs removed from my original diagnosis and I had 6 months at the time. I’m 💯 cancer free today and still anytime someone asks me about it I can barely talk. The emotional roller coaster your life goes through is indescribable.
I'm happy that you are doing well now. Keep rocking! ❤

Respect to Dolph Lundgren to be sincere and honest about his cancer. He is a true hero. God bless him and his family.
I’m impressed by how Dolph handled this. No excuses, he wasn’t looking for sympathy, he has lived an incredible life. The physiques of this era and some of the UFC fighters in the 90’s also had a mountain of an impact/inspiration for me also.
Definitely wishing Dolph all the best!
🙏❤️
So steroid physiques inspire you?These guys did it for a living,its nothing to do with health,just vanity unless you compete.
What a B.S steroids does not cause cancer he is full of 💩💩 if he had cancer is because he was predisposed because of family history of cancer and other chemicals added to foods that are carcinogens, why does he blame steroids? I don't think he used that much because he never really had muscles he was tall and small like an average guy, not even professional bodybuilders who take mega doses of steroids get cancer that is pure ignorance.
Can't believe he even lived that long. Folks, steroids usually takes half of your life.
@Jim D He is full of 💩💩 steroids do not cause cancer there are many other factors, genetic predisposition, chemicals added to foods and water, etc. He didn't take high doses for a long time he is a drama queen, he wasn't even big at all, professional bodybuilders take massive amounts of gear and I have never heard a single bodybuilder dying of cancer, mostly for heart disease which is not caused by steroid use, it is because they are so overweight that alone causes high blood pressure and a lot of stress on the heart and kidneys and over eating is another cause , hundreds of thousands of people die from heart disease every year and never took steroids, food kills far more people than steroids do stop fearmongering.
you could hear in his voice how deeply it affected him, he was almost going to tears.... so glad for his recovery!
When your brain recalls that time of your life and you’re asked to put it into words your emotions are uncontrollable. Especially when you were told this is it get your affairs in order. I’m getting choked up right now just typing it and thinking what my family went through w me. And my original diagnosis was 6 yrs ago(I’m cancer free today but what a ride)

What what, what do you mean? Drago never cries.
He didn’t say steroids gave him cancer. He just said he wondered if they might have played a role in it.
I'm not sure how it would cause cancer. I mean, heart issues for sure.
Indeed, 100% bait to get more clicks, I guess those are more important than the truth these days.
I'm sure it didn't help.
Steroids gave Alzheimer's to the channel author
@@ultimatemassive9501 You're not sure how rapid cell-growing hormones would cause unwanted cells to grow beyond what the immunes system can fight?? Ok - that's actually quite funny (and sad).
Dolph is a legend , wish the best for him . Its good he didnt lie saying he only did roids a few months , 10 years on and off is a fair amount of time but not like many lifelong bbers . Hope his body stays cancer free 👍
🙏
He’s a very tall guy , it’s hard to look muscular at that height without taking a helluva lot of drugs (hence why most bodybuilders are short) . Problem is Hollywood is all about the image , so he had to take the drugs to keep the work coming in . I’m guessing others , like Dwayne Johnson , are in the same catch-22 position , he’s about as natural as a pfizer production line
If anyone thinks steroids cause cancer is an ignorant person, steroids are NOT carcinogens, it is a genetic factor, family history of cancer he had a predisposition, many other things can trigger a cancer like some chemicals added to foods, flouride on the tap water, pesticides sprayed on vegetables, nitrates added to processed meats, etc. No bodybuilder ever died from cancer , mostly from heart or kidneys failure.
This hit home for me. I’m 10 months past my own kidney surgery. Mine was cancer too, orange sized tumor. The had to take the kidney, but they got it all and I’m back to kickboxing every day. Dolph has always been an inspiration to me and my favorite action star since the 80’s. I’m 43 and feeling better than I have in years. Never give up on your life and find a good doctor you can trust! I’m grateful for everything I have.
Daang
You just put me back into perspective. I’m depressed but completely healthy. God bless and ty for sharing
Much respect to mr Lundgren
Do you know what caused it
What made you believe something was wrong? Symptoms?
It's great to hear a actor being honest about his steroid use . He is one of many actors that took steroids for roles . They still take steroids but they all deny taking it . I appreciate this video Jon you pick great subjects .
Dolph is a good man who deserves praise for his honesty and integrity. I wish him the best health for many, many years to come!
I hope everything goes well for him such a humble guy 🙏🏿
I LOVE Dolph! The man is a straight up genius and I love his honesty about his gear usage. I would LOVE to see more of this type of interview from folks today like the Rock and others who are in the media.

@@MyNameIsUnavailable well Stallone had a pituitary issue but basically legal roids
Never thought I'd see Ivan Drago himself in a Jon Bravo video, but here we are, and im digging it. Some of my favorite action flicks have Lundgren in them, so it's safe to say I'm a big fan.
Me the same. All his movies even Masters of the Universe.
Absolute respect
Dolph has been one of my biggest heroes whom I looked up to the most since I was a kid
To admit to having take gear really takes a lot of courage and to admit to having make a mistake is even bigger
Tbh I would’ve thought just as he did back in the day if I was on gear like “well I’m doing a tiny dose, what can go wrong” but you never know, nobody never truly knows until the damage shows up.
He won the most important battle and that’s what really matters the most
Truly amazing guy. Tall, handsome, movie star, 4th Dan black belt, chemical engineering degree, a masters degree, MIT scholarship… has anyone else ever achieved as much?
Yup agreed.

Very few to be sure. Another that comes to mind is Navy SEAL, Astronaut (and Pilot), as well as certified Doctor Jonny Kim. I'm soooo glad Dolph won his battle. The world is a better, far more interesting place with him in it, he's a great dude🙏🤘👊🇺🇲
he knows like 5 languages too
I enjoyed your input on you and your father's mis-diagnosis and the importance of getting another opinion. Great advice. Dolph finding that doctor = miracle. I can envision how despondent he was when he first met her. That is bone chilling. Cancer will drop you to your knees! Never give up.
Great story bravo. Dolph was a physical freak. Hard for anyone to look like that even with steriods. Great genetics. Also a brilliant mind and most people dont understand how smart he is.
his physique was obtainable without steroids.
he just stood out cause he was a extremely good looking, big men with masculine facial structure. Of course steroids cant let u grow in size and they will not
make u look better when it comes to ur face.
But muscle wise most men can get his physique with proper training and good meals.
especially when u are rich like him and u have personal trainers.

Im also not arguing with someone that studied rocket science, because obviously i dont have any clue about the topic.
Legendary fighter and survivor! I survived leukemia cancer and I'm cancer free now in 2023!
Dolph has aged so so well considering what hes been through
So pleased he came good in the end, I watched my mum waste away through cancer 3 1/2 yrs ago. Then I heard Dave Palumbo on one of his Q&A’s say you can’t get “C” from steroid and gh use but if you have “C” it will increase it while on gear. Glad you come out the other end all good Dolph.
Palumbo is not a molecular scientist, you can't take his word on this. It's currently uncertain.
@@SteffiReitschI mean it happened to Lance Armstrong and many many others.

The facts are that he is in his 70s and people do get cancer, and we all die. As you get older you watch people slowly pass away and it starts early. I'm in my early 50s and over 1/3 of my graduating class has passed away. And none of them ever did anabolics.
He’s 65.
Your first "fact" was incorrect.
@@jbeechuk Ok hes 65 and people die 5 years ok great correction but I think u missed the point there Jeff.

I have always loved Dolph since I first noticed him in Rocky 4…. I could watch that movie over and over and never get tired of it… he’s a true hero for battling the cancer and respect him that he wanted to keep this within his family and not make it a media spectacle…..my sister is a cancer survivor so of course hearing his story blew me away….I am a firm believer in God and believe in miracles…. Praying that Dolph keeps the faith and stays strong…. To all those that have cancer, my hearts and thoughts are with you and you’re all true heroes in my eyes…. May God bless you
First time I saw rocky and this tall guy came in the picture I said I want to be like him the bad guy 💪 Dolph Lundgren 🫡 respect ✊
There is no correlation with steroid use causing cancer. MAYBE if someone already has cancer certain steroids may increase the growth of cancer as some increase IGF-1 a little but causing it no way mate.
Exactly.
What an eloquent article, your work is always the perfect balance of fact and opinion, keep up the good work bro, your killing it, Dolph is deffo a true real life hero 👊👊👊
Thx u❤️
My pleasure bro, credit where credit is due, you deserve the success with your channel, you can see how much effort goes into each production👍
I have never seen him in an actual interview. Its fantastic. He gives no excuses, no BS. He did what he did and now he is dealing with it. Also, he seems very intelligent. That is something unfortunately you never see in his roles. I wish him the best and love that he tells is like it is.
He is actually very intelligent! Master degree, chemical engeenier degree, MIT sholarship… hes a allrounder
Check out his TED talk - legendary
@@shaunday9626seconded. I could listen to Dolph talk pretty much all day.
My mother is currently battling cancer for the 2nd time and her doctors are horrible they told her the same thing 2-3 years to live . One of her doctors keeps rescheduling on her since last august. I sent her this video in hopes that she changes doctors or gets more opinions .
Get different doctors. I had a family member die from cancer. I would think they would be more aggressive in killing the cancer. They were not. Chemo isnt the only option, but they make you do it, then tell you to wait while the cancer still grows, then its too late
Do you live in Sweden?
@@JohnSmith-xu7ev chemo is a death sentence. Dandelion root extract, bitter apricot seeds, eliminate sugars, lower carbs, eliminate inflammation, the list goes on...

Most of the doctors sucks, they consider patients just a number..
They made a massive mistake with my mother, not noticing cancer on her lungs.. after some time it spread became larger and she passed away
Dolph was my favorite dude. My favorite Punisher too. I wanted to be Dolph when I was a kid. He just felt like the most genuine badass. As an adult I still feel the same.
Very well done Jonny Bravo... I totally admire and respect Dolph now more than ever, especially because he beat cancer which is the battle of his actual life. I hope he lives a full, long, healthy, and happy life following what he has went through. Also, my hat is off to you my man for the incredible story you brought to life with your commentary and telling the story in a way that all story's should be told. Thank you for bringing us this story. Blessings and much favor upon you and your family my friend for all the good you do for others. - Akmed
It was a great interview! Thanks Dolph for sharing his feelings and emotions!
He did a great service to all the young (and not so young anymore) people that look up to him, by not dismissing the role of steroids in this turn of his disease. There is no proof, but he still said it, and you can tell he did it not for himself, but to prevent others from going through this.
Great vid..props to Dolph for his honesty and not minimalizing his steroid use like so many that say they only took small dosages a few times.. example Kali Muscle

such a honest stand up great actor!!! im glad i grew up in the 80's
Excellent comments Jon. Yes the thrust of what he blamed was GH. Saying it's in combination with testosterone is just part of him saying 'my bad' twice, as he alluded to. GH is well documented or at least soundly speculated to increase the growth of unwanted tissue in some people. Long live Dolph
Basically he had cancer and the gh speeds up growth in csncer cells. It didn't give him cancer.
roids fo not cause canver. gh does.
The thing is that he doesn’t know. Even without any risky behaviour , people get cancer in 1/3 cases.
What difference is there specifically between natural GH from fasting and then using the synthetic injectable GH?
If a person has a tumor naturally, and then begins to fast for a while, will the natural increase in GH cause their tumor to grow? I keep reading and hearing that fasting can shrink tumors and get rid of cancer...
@@shred9475 Yeah i’ve been in the game 30 years and have never heard of anyone getting cancer due to roids . Seems a bit of a stretch to say the least , in fact a lot of roids were developed to negate the side effects of cancer and wasting diseases such as AIDS . Yes , orals taken in extremis COULD cause liver damage and some injectables like tren can have adverse effects on the kidneys , but cancer ? Nope
The first doctor shouldn’t be allowed to practice anymore
I think this happens so often this country. People need to realize that not every doctor knows everything and you have to get multiple opinions esp on serous issues like this.
Good video. Sean Claude was also my hero as a kid. Think about how many people look up to the Rock and believe they can achieve that naturally. I respect the ones who speak the truth.
Sean Claude? That's a new one 😂
Great to hear that has recovered and there is hope out there for others.
I respect Dolph for his honesty and integrity, Osu.
I am glad I've always been natural and still stay that way. Just not worth it. It's hard for anyone of these heros of our time to admit anything so I admire Dolph for talking about it. Really glad he went to get a 2nd opinion. Pretty impressive how he handled it and was able to recover. Overall a very inspirational person for many who lived a really incredible life. Wish him the best.
Me too!!!!
Thank you so much,I can’t tell how long I have,I guess now it’s the only time I have to reach out to as many fans I can to return the sincere appreciation and sincere wishes of love.
Thank you so much❤️.
good on you, however you could still get cancer regardless.
I’ve been on testosterone for 2 years 150 mg a week, and here in south Florida I do blood work and check levels every 3 months, my doctor has worked with chuck norris , nfl players bodybuilders, actors , he has autograph photos of them on the wall in the office telling him thanks and what not, he’s told me that testosterone isn’t the problem, it’s the igf 1 , anavar, dbol, deca, halo, insulin , diaretics , hgh that’s what’s gonna mess you up
A wholesome video. To many more years of Dolph Lundgren.
Always seemed like a great dude.
I'm from Brazil and growed watching Dolph in TV in my childhood.

That's a good interview. Dolph has always impressed me as being a genuine & decent person. I saw another interview of his where he speaks from the heart.

There’s ZERO way he could ever know that it was the steroids that gave him cancer as opposed to dumb luck or genetics.
I know, people get cancer that have never touched anything. Then the other thing is people say heart attacks, but how many women and men die every day from heart failure that never touched anything.
I believe if its going to happen its going to happen.
Awesome Sauce that he beat the battle that many people have lost...
I remember the man back in the 80s but it never crossed my mind that he was not natural..

This is the kinda shit that pisses me off when ppl say "THEY THINK steroids or HGH gave them cancer"... My Grandpa who's alive today at 83 yrs old TO THIS DAY is still on TRT & HRT (HGH therapy) since 1992, my Uncle who's 65 is also on TRT & HRT & began doing that in 1999 & before that he was blasting 1000+ mgs of Test/week,400 mgs Deca/week, 600 mgs Masteron/week,& 5 IU's of HGH per day & he did that exact stack for 20+ yrs (he didn't start HGH til 1988)& he's still alive and healthy as an ox and has been on 200 mgs test/week for TRT & 2.5 IU's of HGH/day for his HRT from his doctor since 1999 & is still on it and no cancer ever. My Dad who's 67 starting abusing steroids in 1974 & for 2 yrs he'd run an 8 week cycle then take 8 weeks off then repeat until 1977 when he decided to blast 24/7/365 w/my Uncle & Grandpa & he did that until he finally went to a men's clinic to get 250 mgs test/week,3 IU's HGH/day, 80 mgs if Anavar/day & I forgot to mention that my Dad,Uncle ,& Grandpa also always have HCG,Clomid,& Proviron that they take regularly, the crazy thing is that prostate cancer is very hereditary on my Dad's side of the family, 2 of my other Uncles (2 brothers of my Dad & Uncle's) have been hearing all these idiots like this chode since the 70's/80's & they never touched steroids not even once in their life,& that means no TRT either ever & they uzdd to beg my Dad,Uncle,& Grandpa to get off steroids cuz it's gna give them cancer that they'll die from (they mainly meant prostate cancer cuz of how hereditary it is]& guess what happened..... my 2 Uncle's who never touched steroids in their lives both died of prostate cancer in the last 7 yrs while the 3 who've been using heavy doses of gear since the 70's are 100% healthy. Ask Dolph Lundgren here how he can explain that Arnold Schwarzenegger is Stull alive and no cancer ever...... or what about guys like Hulk Hogan, Vince McMahon, Ronnie Coleman,Jay Cutler, Lee Priest etc are all Still old, alive,& never had cancer? U sound like an absolute idiot, u are an idiot and I beg of u Dolph to show any proof u have that links steroids to cancer,and I'm not talking about finding other articles from idiots like Lyle Alzado who claimed steroids gave him cancer cuz he's an idiot too,show me some medical data that proves that steroid use,abuse,or major abuse causes cancer.... U can't find any medical data that says that cuz it doesn't exist.

Amazing story. I love Rocky 4. Classic. Rocky vs. Drago is a story for the ages. I’m 43 and recently discovered I have hypogonadism. My body was producing less than 175 ng/dL… Never roided, pituitary and thyroid were okay, no depression, no trauma to the nuts ever. Boiled down to genetics for me. I’ve been on doctor-prescribed testosterone cypionate (400 mg per week (200 mg shots on Mondays and Thursdays)). I have to take for the rest of my life. I get bloodwork checked regularly. Last time I did bloodwork my T was 790. I have to take a baby aspirin daily for the rest of my life to thin my blood. I also have to donate blood regularly to decrease and keep my red blood cell count in line. My life has improved dramatically in many ways. And I owe it all to my wife that recognized something was wrong… I teach my 18-year old son to stay away from steroids, SARMs, peptides, HRT/TRT; that I’m only on TRT because I HAVE to be. Be safe out their and take care of ur body. U only get one.
I have to eat and drink every day all my life to stay alive. Taking steroids is easy, just like eating and drinking. Happy life.

My gut says its most likely the last one being the most likely candidate. Its absolutely not just heart attacks, clots, and strokes associated withem. Everything from turbo cancers, auto immune diseases, to hell you name it are popping up now in folks.
Great job on your narration and examination of subject matter. Cool-headed. Collected. Very sincere, and with a great voice.
At no point during this interview does Lundgren claim that steroids gave him cancer. He was merely speculating and pondering about his prior PED use 25 years prior to the diagnosis.
And he wasn't that huge and claims to ise PED? It means all guys on beach with this body are on roads.
@@AS-ug2vq Not everyone who uses PEDs is huge. Depends on which PED you use, diet, and how you train etc. A Tour De France competitor who uses PEDs is going to look a lot different than a powerlifter who does.
I went to high school with a guy that got on steroids while in his 20's. I saw him at the 10 year reunion and was shocked. He was gone 3 years later from kidney and liver failure.
A similar story for the chef at one of the worlds best restaurant, Alinia in Chicago. The chef, Grant Atchaz got cancer and was given months to live. The cancer killed his sense of taste. He went to another doctor who put him on a chemo therapy regime., and he was cured.
Theres a good documentary about him on NF.
If Dolph is telling the truth about only using 150mg a week of test then I sincerely doubt it had anything to do with his cancer. On the other hand, if he was using other anabolics and/or GH on top of the test then maybe it did play a role in the cancer.
150mg test on a hulking 6’5 250lb guy , no dice , you wouldn’t see the effects on a guy half his size
@@bobmathews9072 yeah 150 is a relatively moderate TRT dose. Unless you already have low test you're basically shutting down your natural production for little to no benefit.
@@AllPainNoGains incorrect. Naturally your testosterone fluctuates throughout the day, but they also fluctuate over the course of the year, and over the course of a lifetime.. This fluctuation is eliminated when on TRT thus giving the user a more stable testosterone level throughout the day, which is in itself a huge benefit performance wise, especially if you are training all day. This doesn’t come without risk though for there are medically proven side effects of replacing testosterone at any level artificially. But that’s another discussion.
@@xdmuscle I understand all that. I didn't mean that 150 is pointless. My intended meaning was that if you have low testosterone, then 150 could give you significant benefits, but if you have naturally high testosterone then you may not get enough benefit to justify suppressing your own natural production, especially in the long term.
Graham is a great interviewer and I will definitely check out the full interview, thank you 🙏. Another great production as well and I hope you have a great day too brother 🤝💙
Jahhnn, do an interview about roids with Big Lenny. Make him comment on Dolf words.
I was thinking of actually getting him on here shortly. :)
In the 70s ...the biggest superstars were Ali,.. Arnold,..and Bruce Lee ....they were also international stars ...(which made them larger than life)....they were all at the top of there game and idolized by the world for their achievements and great personalities....they touched and motivated millions.
A true warrior
these legends of the 80s90s are a different breed Dolph is a true fighter on and of the screen keep going champ
Universal soldier. The 1st film. Legend
Yes my fav bro

Unfortunately during his time orals like D-bol were very popular. These types of steroids also tend to be very liver toxic.
First I've heard of this. Lets be honest. Every big guy at the gym is taking test. Most will say TRT but things are different for men these days. If we dont look good at the beach we dont exist. Im glad you've covered this for so many reasons. Men and women are expected to look a certain way. Maybe you should get into this more. Everyone is doing something these days. Respect to Dolph for saying the truth. But ive always thought GH is super healthy !!! Everyone, men and women are taking this. Its amazing stuff.
HGH I have always been Leary of. Test I love it :)
GH heart changes are less reversible than steroid changes according to studies, as well as the cancer and insulin related permanent risks
@@texluh but docs are prescribing it so easily. As long as I stay under 6iu per day he says it's fine.... I've been using this on and off for many years and nothing has enlarged but my shoulders, and bigger everything. It also eats body fat like crazy. Everyone who's got money is on this. I'm told just stay within the proper dosage. Although my head and neck are much bigger than a normal person's. But I thought that was due to my size...
@@johntaylor-lo8qx I'm speculating that you want reassurance nothing will go wrong. Nothing wrong with what you're saying. I'm not a doctor.
Doctors don't hesitate, you keep saying. No wonder. It's a medication. Everyone has to weigh the risks and benefits. The NHS here doesn't hesitate to supply me with prednisolone. The risk profile is much higher than GH I think, but it benefits me. I guess I'll avoid the bad side effects from it. Most healthier people do. Also even the inhaler I take could damage heart and bones.
Stallone is older than Lungdren. He's admitted GH, probably for much longer. He's not had cancer as far as we know. Some people don't have the gene making them prone to cancer. If I were you, I wouldn't worry. I'm happier taking just 180 mg pw test than GH from a side effects point of view, but when I'm older the benefit of GH might be more and I might change that view.
@@JonnyBravoTV same here , never been keen on the gh side of things , too many variables , give me straightforward test-e , deca for the joints , tren-e & winny for the summer cut and i’m good to go
Wow ! I always thought Dolph looked Natural in Rocky never assumed he was on the Juice.
This was such a great video💪 Thanks Friend
❤️
is it possible van damme was natural? His physique was very consistent over a long period of time - or am i being very naive?
But yeah, it disappointing when certain action stars want to pretend they have super impressive bodies without using any drugs ( . . . The Rock)
I have heard from a personal close friend that he was not however until he talks about it we will never truly know.
He definitely was on steroids
@@TimmyTurner421 you might be right, but it's not like the guy was huge or anything. If you look at his physique in Bloodsport or Kickboxer (my personal favorite) he was very ripped, which obviously helps give the illusion of more muscle than there actually is.
I just looked at some Kickboxer scenes again. It's really not a crazy body. Does he get much bigger in the 90's?
lol he was and still on gear
Way of telling if someone is “on” . The traps (and to a lesser extent the delts) . Every single time . That’s where the androgen receptors are . Hell , if you’re on a decent amount of test & tren you’ll have traps that look like a 300lb powerlifter without doing a single shrug
Martial arts is about movement, psychology, spirituality & fun. Big muscles is the western perception of power. Best stay moderately fit naturally & be happy
Im pretty sure van damme did admit to juicing. I could be wrong though, but i thought i remembered him talking about it a while back
Never he has.
@@JonnyBravoTV regardless he was the friggin man in the 90s i must have watched kickboxer 500 times
If I remember correct JCVD had some gyno in some of his flicks. If an actor has anything more than “a little muscle” they are juicing. They are actors not bodybuilders. Think how hard it is to get jacked “living the lifestyle “ do you think these actors are eating 6 x day, sleeping 8 hrs at night and taking a nap. Doing cardio in am then lifting later. Nope they are getting as big as they can as fast as they can. IE anabolics
@@mattydips2887 me to lol
My brother brought home Muscle and Fitness magazine, 1986, and it was a black background with Dolph Lungreen on the cover with a woman. We were both hooked into bodybuilding from that magazine. We had been motivated before, but now, we had the knowledge from Joe Weider and all the fantastic articles. Could not get enough.
Great video buddy
You deserve more subs man
🙏
Loved this guy as much as sylvester. Hopefully everything goes well for him. Wishing him the best. 🥰
He didn't loose in He-Man "Masters of the Universe". Dolph is such a awesome guy. I really enjoyed watching him when I was a kid.
Dolph, my brother is a dr. He has told me about the anti cancer benefits of B17.
You can buy this anywhere on the net.
Cancer survivor myself. Hope this reaches you.
Prayer too.
Blessings.
He seems so thoughtful and kind.. nice man..
Great Video thank you Greetings Edward
I mean him speculating doesn’t mean that’s what caused his cancer. There’s millions of people that die from cancer and they don’t even know what growth hormone is or have ever taken Any type of anabolic steroid.
Thx man its one of the best vids on internet 🙏
Salute to one of the real ones in Hollywood who are man enough to tell the truth!!!
Hey Rock, where you at bro????
I’ve always been a Dolph Lundgren fan. Thanks for all the work you’ve done Dolph!
Awesome documentary. Congrats on your growth, Jon!
i love when he says. "if it dies it dies" that qoute from rocky " if he dies he dies" i love that he dident care if he dies
He is one of the best bad guys . True legend
