I don't understand why this is such a hard pill for these guys to swallow that steroids weren't around and they achieved their bodies the natural way. I guess these days we're so used to a myriad of people using steroids, we think there's no way to achieve a great and healthy physique without steroids. It's either we're on the fat body positivity movement spectrum or on the other side, steroid use---both are unhealthy. Hard work, focus, consistency, discipline, perseverance, and patience are all qualities that are heavily missing these days, replaced with excuses, laziness, no effort, no drive, and impatience. And if you embrace the latter qualities you'll either embrace the fat body positivity movement or resort to steroids.

Yep, same reason why people shouldn’t be worried about drinking milk. Your liver will deal with any hormones in it even assuming you could drink enough to get a significant amount.
I really hate how milk has had a bad rap. I personally love whole milk. It's either the hormones or the lactose intolerance or the fat or the sugar it's always some reason that people are against milk. Of course milk isn't magical or anything and you don't necessarily need it but you shouldn't be shamed bc you drink it. Personally I always have a little bit of fiber with my milk. I love making homemade strawberry milk with actual strawberries. 😜 So good.
@@milliedragon4418 Totally agree! If milk was as bad for us as some people claim, there wouldn't be many humans left on this planet, at least not here in northern Europe where milk is a staple food product.
@@milliedragon4418 Some modern cow breeds have a mutation wherein they produce a different type of casein protein, shortened to A1 type. Meanwhile older breeds of cows, along with goats, sheep, buffalo, etc produce only or mostly only A2 type casein proteins. I can drink the latter with no issue (i.e. it's not about "lactose" for me, and I suspect many others), but if I have even a small amount of regular/common cow milk, I get very noticeable symptoms, such as a shite tonne of mucous production. It is not so simple as black and white statements as all dairy is good or bad. Like so many things in life, there is some nuance, relativity, and/or complexity involved. Note, I can do well cultured versions of the A1 mixed cow dairy without issues. For example, high quality yogurt made with A1 casein mixed dairy doesn't make me mucous filled AF. This is because the microgansims predigest the proteins, making it easier for my body to fully break down.

Although I agree worh you about the natty physique of the past, I believe with experience, that eating tests actually do help to boost our natural production of our own test, and I do not consider it unnatural or like taking steroids. Matter of fact it's best to eat a variety of meats, like the variety of veggies we ought to eat.

Testicles is a delicacy in many parts of the world and is consumed regularly, if it has any anabolic effects it's because it's pretty high in protein, 24g per 100g
I ate 7 kilos of raw Bison testicles each day for 12 weeks and looked just like Hackenschmidt on week 12.... I now have Proof that he only got huge by tea bagging himself with bull sacks all day.
When I started Powerlifting back in the early 70's the suplament industry was just getting started. We use to eat "glandulars" (dehydrated bull testicles in capsule form) and drink pre-digested protien. It said it was cherry flavor...we drank it over the toilet, because it tasted so bad that half the time we would gag and throw it up. It has come along way.
This makes plenty of sense. Even if bull testicles were loaded with testosterone, every molecule would be denatured and broken down by the digestive system. It is possible though that testicles are the best kind of meat to eat for fuelling testosterone production because they'll have all the nutrients human testicles need to function well
Colostrum certainly can help with the anabolic processes since it does contain growth factor hormones. I intend to find some fresh colostrum for this to see whether it actually creates any sort of progress.
Placebo could play a major role too. You can't recreate the effect now days... Back then people could of believed it and recieved the unnatural strength... 👀

organ meats are high nutrition value, but not magic. Balls are rich in selenium and another few bits that are very good for you, and that you are probably deficient in. But its just food.

Testicles have all the nutrients to produce testosterone. Probably the best source of these nutrients. I do eat some offal, especially liver, but I don't eat testicles.
Didnt one said in his book, that he knows really strong vegetarians and that u should eat (if u eat meat) like 1/3 of ur food as meat? And he also said, that the question of u should or should not eat meat is really old actually.
I like your content but, I'm not so sure that the scientific concensus on this issue is as certain as this video implies. I took a look at what you cited and it appears to be an article in a journal and not a research study like you say. It's a history about the events that led upto the successful synthesis of testosterone in 1935 and all of the discovery and experimentation that went into it. Whilst the author is reputable, it isn't empirical and doesn't claim to be. I can't find a single peer reviewed study on how the consumption of testes affects the male endocrine system. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough? I'm not making any claims one way or the other here; I'm saying that there isn't actual evidence either way (except for the stuff about the liver, there is evidence for that). Liver issue seems pretty immutable though. However, oral testosterone is now a thing, not sure if the processes of the liver have to be inhibited for this treatment or not. However, until there's been actual research into eating such organs I don't think we can assume that there isn't potential for a similar process to be going on. Also, you didn't mention that testosterone in the testes (whilst low in quantity and not stored there) has 100x the concentration of in serum testosterone. Perhaps that's a factor? I'll reserve judgement until there's some evidence. Video got me thinking though.
Fair points but I am mainly just extremely annoyed with the attitude of people diminishing the achievements of bronze era lifters. Claiming they are somehow on gear because they might have eaten animal testicles is so ridiculous to me. I feel like people will come up with any excuse to justify their own mediocrity. And by the way, since you’re saying there is no peer reviewed paper on the anabolic effects of testicles, that would just be another reason to refute people’s claims of testicles being akin to steroids. I would say it should be in their court to prove such a claim to be true, but as you say there is no empirical evidence so what reason do we have to believe it other than 100+ year old hearsay and marketing? Even though I will admit it fits my bias, I have no trouble taking a seemingly reputable professor in the field’s word for it over the random anonymous youtube commenter. Unless we have other solid evidence of it not getting inactivated by the liver or there being more Test in testicles than he claimed?
Btw here’s a bit from the same article about orally effective testosterone: In the 1970s the orally effective testosterone undecanoate, absorbed from the gut via the lymph to avoid the first-pass effect in the liver (65) had been added to the spectrum of testosterone preparations available for replacement therapy. Initial clinical testing revealed that oral testosterone undecanoate was best absorbed with a meal, but the testosterone peaks were short-lived so that 3-4 capsules had to be taken during the day in order to produce effective serum levels (66). Oral testosterone undecanoate was introduced to the market worldwide in the late 1970s - except in the USA - and is still in wide use despite rather variable serum testosterone profiles.
You probably can't find any peer-reviewed studies on the subject because, as is stated in the video, 1) Testosterone is not stored in the testes, and 2) even if it were, it's inactivated by the liver. In other words, researching something that is already known to not work is pointless. As for oral Testosterone, I'm sure there is information available online on how the hormone itself is altered and the product designed to withstand the digestion process.
Also maybe there is no peer reviewed research because it is simply well understood that the liver deactivates it. Just like we don’t need research to prove that eating a brain will not make you smarter 🤷🏻♂️ it seems like there is a good enough basic understanding of things not working that way in the body that such research simply isn’t needed? What do you think?
@@NattyLifeYT Heh it seems we simultaneously had the same idea 🍻 Anyway, I often get the feeling that people are too hung-up about whether there's a study about something, even when the application of common sense would have prevented the question to begin with. Having some experience in academia I am often saddened by the misplaced trust laymen put in studies or, for that matter, "science". Many ppl will believe anything if you just tell them that it was "proven" by a study, even when they could never understand the study, let alone assess its methodological validity and honesty. Not to mention the fact that the scientific method is about falsification. Oh well. Blind trust in authorities is the lazy shortcut that gets my goat up, just as the equally lazy shortcut of swallowing something to circumvent the need of hard training does yours.
If eating testicles was like injecting steroids, then why wouldn't people just eat testicles and circumvent the side effects of steroids while reaping the benefits? Why would steroids even be invented if animal testicles yielded the same results? Why is it so hard to believe that your body is capable of growing on its own?
If eating bollocks was actually able to boost testosterone levels, I still don't see how it can be even remotely compared on the same level as pumping artificially synthesised concoctions into your body.
Testicular vein blood, semen and “juice” from the testes of a dog or guinea pig?! Kinda makes test injections and synthetic anabolics seeme pretty tame 😂
I actually bought bull testicles in pill form in the UK in 1989. With a large pic of Joe Weider on the box (yes it was his brand). What can I say? I was young and dumb. Can't say I noticed any difference, though.
Testes like any other protein, has to be broken down by the body to its basic amino acids and distributed by the body, so a good steak or liver would be better for increasing testosterone anyway 😂
Stimulants can help a person in the gym. Caffeine, etc. Obviously, stimulants won't make your muscles bigger, but they allow you to work out longer or harder. So if a person had the right kind of stimulant and a good diet and workout plan. They could absolutely achieve the results you are presenting.
Uuumm or they could just do it without stimulants as well? 😂 you said yourself that stimulants don’t grow muscle yet you act like it’s necessary. I never take any stimulants, I don’t even drink coffee or tea.
ok, I came back to this video to comment after finding something today. I was looking at info on the Finnish runner paavo nurmi and blood doping(reinjecting red blood cells). Oddly, I came across references to him supposedly using a drug called "Rejuven" in 1931, which somehow contained Testosterone. I thought that was rather odd because I couldn't find any details about "Rejuven", and testosterone was first isolated in 1935. Anyway, just an obscure piece of trivia that might be of interest to you. Who knows if there really was a product called "Rejuven" in 1931 or what it really contained.
dude the first amount of people to use test/roids was the soviet union weight,lifters back in the 1950's,and in the western world,after 1960 when diannabol was finally released to the world by the Ciba pharmaceutical company. anyone from the 1890's through 1959 in America and western europe that was muscular would have been test/roid free
How common do you think it is for ig fitness influencers to be taking roids? I'm a beginner that doesn't know much yet. I know steroids are common, but I don't know how common. I just can't tell what's real and what isn't because female lifters on ig look insanely good but their physiques don't look like the og female bodybuilders from the past... Is it just because nowadays people are more focused on aesthetic than they were in the past? I don't want to look up to anyone that's taking drugs, this shit is confusing for a newbie.
It is a complex topic. If you're an accomplished athlete with about 10 years of training under your belt and have developed your body to its natural abilities, then 'roids, GH etc. **might** help you "outgrow" your natural limitations. It's not only about growing bigger but also about longer regeneration periods -- you can "attack" each muscle harder when you only need to train it once a week instead of 2-3 times a week as natural body builders do. As a professional competitive body builder you don't stand a chance without the stuff, but that's true of professional sports in general. High-level pros have access to high quality stuff and medical supervision, and even then there's a hefty price tag regarding your health. As an amateur, especially a beginner, there's absolutely no point in "enhancing" yourself. Not only are you way, way within the limits of what you can achieve on your own but, more importantly, you have no way of assessing the quality, purity etc. of the stuff you're buying. Anyway, either way, 'roids will alter your body in ways you might not be aware of. Fromyour profile pic I'm assuming you're female. So, as a female, expect your physical features to turn masculine to **some** extent. Possibilities include your bosom shrinking, your clitoris growing, your voice getting deeper, you might develop a visible adam's apple, maybe even beard growth, there might be behavioral and personality changes, your mileage may vary. If your goal is to get massive and develop a body builder's physique, go that route. If, on the other hand, you want a nice, firm, well-toned, slender female physique, stay off the stuff. You can actually train like the guys, no need to do any weird girlie stuff. You won't get massive, probably not even ripped, just toned and athletic. Do you want to look gorgeous in a bikini or do you want to intimidate men? 🙂
The placebo affect is powerful of course. If only there was a way I could, perhaps through hypnosis, convince myself that eating Rocky Mountain oysters got me jacked and none of the downsides of roids
"Peripheral testosterone concentrations remained unchanged in normal men and men with fatty liver, *whereas a steep increase was observed in all other groups. The greatest increase was seen in patients with compensated liver cirrhosis and with portocaval shunts.* from the study that "professor" referenced (#20). Medical Doctors are ABSOLUTELY clueless about biochemistry. Btw they measured Testosterone and none of it´s metabolites llike DHT which is 10x as potent.
Am I wrong, but I thought there were videos of guys that said they ate animal testicles then got their testosterone checked and it increased considerably. Am I wrong? If that is true, wouldn't that be proof eating testes can be a decent supplement?
No one can just give somebody credit. GD man, they were disciplined, they trained and did not have a damn McDonalds drive through, a cell phone or TV. Also we know that all test levels have declined generation to generation so yes they had higher test, NATURALLY.
maybe they did eat bulls balls..because in the french kitchen and here in austria you get them in restaurants ! ..but when grilled, everything is gone....testo is there when the bull is alive, not when dead....
People are arguying to make themselves feel better its a rabbit hole and its the pathetic side of the degenracy of our spicy people are becoming cowards with no honor
I'm confused: if eating whole testicles doesn't increase testosterone, then why is my wrestling coach so insistent that merely holding them in our mouths for a bit will?
Genetics, some people are simply blessed. Another tough pill to swallow. Most of us are Average when it comes to the potential to build a muscular physique. Average aint great. Sorry!
I don't even understand the logic "They ate bull testicles so they're basically not natural". I mean it's a bull testicles or from a bull testicle. Even if it would work and someone made a pill from that it would still be natural. It's like arguing that someone that takes protein powder and creatine isn't natural.
Enlightened but still testosterone has been decreasing over the years at a crazy rate so physiques back then in idk the 30s or somethin would most likely be unnatainable today unless there’s some people out there who happen to have more then 1,100+++ ng/dl of testosterone which there ofc are some people out in the world that do but very few. Back then it was more normal then it is now. We’re too comfortable today which is one of the many reasons causing lower testosterone as years go on.
The amount of people continuing to believe this insanity from so long ago is shocking. If you want the results do the work for it. You can’t just expect to shove something down your gullet and get results that way 😂
All these triggered “I’m a hard gainer natty’s” are all parading and screaming steroids cause they’re all experts and graduated from UA-cam university by watching 4 videos about SARMS and steroids. 🧠☠️

Claiming they are somehow on gear because they might have eaten animal testicles is so ridiculous to me. I feel like people will come up with any excuse to justify their own mediocrity. And by the way, since you’re saying there is no peer reviewed paper on the anabolic effects of testicles, that would just be another reason to refute people’s claims of testicles being akin to steroids. I would say it should be in their court to prove such a claim to be true, but as you say there is no empirical evidence so what reason do we have to believe it other than 100+ year old hearsay and marketing? Even though I will admit it fits my bias, I have no trouble taking a seemingly reputable professor in the field’s word for it over the random anonymous youtube commenter. Unless we have other solid evidence of it not getting inactivated by the liver or there being more Test in testicles than he claimed?
Btw here’s a bit from the same article about orally effective testosterone:
In the 1970s the orally effective testosterone undecanoate, absorbed from the gut via the lymph to avoid the first-pass effect in the liver (65) had been added to the spectrum of testosterone preparations available for replacement therapy. Initial clinical testing revealed that oral testosterone undecanoate was best absorbed with a meal, but the testosterone peaks were short-lived so that 3-4 capsules had to be taken during the day in order to produce effective serum levels (66). Oral testosterone undecanoate was introduced to the market worldwide in the late 1970s - except in the USA - and is still in wide use despite rather variable serum testosterone profiles.
You probably can't find any peer-reviewed studies on the subject because, as is stated in the video, 1) Testosterone is not stored in the testes, and 2) even if it were, it's inactivated by the liver. In other words, researching something that is already known to not work is pointless. As for oral Testosterone, I'm sure there is information available online on how the hormone itself is altered and the product designed to withstand the digestion process.
Also maybe there is no peer reviewed research because it is simply well understood that the liver deactivates it. Just like we don’t need research to prove that eating a brain will not make you smarter 🤷🏻♂️ it seems like there is a good enough basic understanding of things not working that way in the body that such research simply isn’t needed? What do you think?
@@NattyLifeYT Heh it seems we simultaneously had the same idea 🍻 Anyway, I often get the feeling that people are too hung-up about whether there's a study about something, even when the application of common sense would have prevented the question to begin with. Having some experience in academia I am often saddened by the misplaced trust laymen put in studies or, for that matter, "science". Many ppl will believe anything if you just tell them that it was "proven" by a study, even when they could never understand the study, let alone assess its methodological validity and honesty. Not to mention the fact that the scientific method is about falsification. Oh well. Blind trust in authorities is the lazy shortcut that gets my goat up, just as the equally lazy shortcut of swallowing something to circumvent the need of hard training does yours.
If eating testicles was like injecting steroids, then why wouldn't people just eat testicles and circumvent the side effects of steroids while reaping the benefits?
Why would steroids even be invented if animal testicles yielded the same results?
Why is it so hard to believe that your body is capable of growing on its own?
Fantastic work man! Thanks for the info bomb
If eating bollocks was actually able to boost testosterone levels, I still don't see how it can be even remotely compared on the same level as pumping artificially synthesised concoctions into your body.
Power of defication is something... Hahah, I can't stop laughing, oh please
You are the thin line between the steroids temptations and keep my work forever clean and natty and I will stay like that.
Testicular vein blood, semen and “juice” from the testes of a dog or guinea pig?!
Kinda makes test injections and synthetic anabolics seeme pretty tame 😂
What a great video TITLE! 👌😂
Raw? YES ABSOLUTELY 💯 !
Does anybody remember the Weider "Anabolic packs?" They had bovine tissue glandular I believe. It was ALL the rage, and made Weider millions.
I don't care what they do. Unless I'm starving, I'm not eating Rocky Mountain oysters.
I actually bought bull testicles in pill form in the UK in 1989. With a large pic of Joe Weider on the box (yes it was his brand). What can I say? I was young and dumb. Can't say I noticed any difference, though.
They were probably human testicles. The Weider brothers made their first fortune selling gay porn.
Testes like any other protein, has to be broken down by the body to its basic amino acids and distributed by the body, so a good steak or liver would be better for increasing testosterone anyway 😂
Stimulants can help a person in the gym. Caffeine, etc. Obviously, stimulants won't make your muscles bigger, but they allow you to work out longer or harder.
So if a person had the right kind of stimulant and a good diet and workout plan. They could absolutely achieve the results you are presenting.
Uuumm or they could just do it without stimulants as well? 😂 you said yourself that stimulants don’t grow muscle yet you act like it’s necessary. I never take any stimulants, I don’t even drink coffee or tea.
Great content
ok, I came back to this video to comment after finding something today. I was looking at info on the Finnish runner paavo nurmi and blood doping(reinjecting red blood cells). Oddly, I came across references to him supposedly using a drug called "Rejuven" in 1931, which somehow contained Testosterone. I thought that was rather odd because I couldn't find any details about "Rejuven", and testosterone was first isolated in 1935. Anyway, just an obscure piece of trivia that might be of interest to you. Who knows if there really was a product called "Rejuven" in 1931 or what it really contained.
dude the first amount of people to use test/roids was the soviet union weight,lifters back in the 1950's,and in the western world,after 1960 when diannabol was finally released to the world by the Ciba pharmaceutical company. anyone from the 1890's through 1959 in America and western europe that was muscular would have been test/roid free
Yes
Almost 100k sub so impressive
in addition to the study's findings, I can't imagine what stomach acid does to a trace amount of testosterone.
How common do you think it is for ig fitness influencers to be taking roids? I'm a beginner that doesn't know much yet. I know steroids are common, but I don't know how common. I just can't tell what's real and what isn't because female lifters on ig look insanely good but their physiques don't look like the og female bodybuilders from the past... Is it just because nowadays people are more focused on aesthetic than they were in the past? I don't want to look up to anyone that's taking drugs, this shit is confusing for a newbie.
It is a complex topic. If you're an accomplished athlete with about 10 years of training under your belt and have developed your body to its natural abilities, then 'roids, GH etc. **might** help you "outgrow" your natural limitations. It's not only about growing bigger but also about longer regeneration periods -- you can "attack" each muscle harder when you only need to train it once a week instead of 2-3 times a week as natural body builders do. As a professional competitive body builder you don't stand a chance without the stuff, but that's true of professional sports in general. High-level pros have access to high quality stuff and medical supervision, and even then there's a hefty price tag regarding your health.
As an amateur, especially a beginner, there's absolutely no point in "enhancing" yourself. Not only are you way, way within the limits of what you can achieve on your own but, more importantly, you have no way of assessing the quality, purity etc. of the stuff you're buying. Anyway, either way, 'roids will alter your body in ways you might not be aware of. Fromyour profile pic I'm assuming you're female. So, as a female, expect your physical features to turn masculine to **some** extent. Possibilities include your bosom shrinking, your clitoris growing, your voice getting deeper, you might develop a visible adam's apple, maybe even beard growth, there might be behavioral and personality changes, your mileage may vary.
If your goal is to get massive and develop a body builder's physique, go that route. If, on the other hand, you want a nice, firm, well-toned, slender female physique, stay off the stuff. You can actually train like the guys, no need to do any weird girlie stuff. You won't get massive, probably not even ripped, just toned and athletic. Do you want to look gorgeous in a bikini or do you want to intimidate men? 🙂
The placebo affect is powerful of course. If only there was a way I could, perhaps through hypnosis, convince myself that eating Rocky Mountain oysters got me jacked and none of the downsides of roids
"Peripheral testosterone concentrations remained unchanged in normal men and men with fatty liver, *whereas a steep increase was observed in all other groups. The greatest increase was seen in patients with compensated liver cirrhosis and with portocaval shunts.* from the study that "professor" referenced (#20). Medical Doctors are ABSOLUTELY clueless about biochemistry. Btw they measured Testosterone and none of it´s metabolites llike DHT which is 10x as potent.
"as confirmed by replication of the experiment a century later" bro, someone actually injected that cocktail again to see if they could poop harder 😂
In the name of science 😂
if testosterone is deactivated in the liver then how does an orally ingested ped like sarms work? is it different from testosterone?
Am I wrong, but I thought there were videos of guys that said they ate animal testicles then got their testosterone checked and it increased considerably. Am I wrong? If that is true, wouldn't that be proof eating testes can be a decent supplement?
Placebo effect
No one can just give somebody credit. GD man, they were disciplined, they trained and did not have a damn McDonalds drive through, a cell phone or TV. Also we know that all test levels have declined generation to generation so yes they had higher test, NATURALLY.
The dyel commenters when they realize bull testes are natural (it's literally just food anyway)- 🤯
maybe they did eat bulls balls..because in the french kitchen and here in austria you get them in restaurants ! ..but when grilled, everything is gone....testo is there when the bull is alive, not when dead....
People are arguying to make themselves feel better its a rabbit hole and its the pathetic side of the degenracy of our spicy people are becoming cowards with no honor
Bro please make video on reg park please
I'm confused: if eating whole testicles doesn't increase testosterone, then why is my wrestling coach so insistent that merely holding them in our mouths for a bit will?
Even if it did work i don't think people would be lining up to eat balls
We have white rhino horn eaters amongst us, in the form of PED addicts and their Disco muscles. Stay natural stay strong live long.
I tried eating bull, sheep and lamb testicles. I cooked it well kept even then I kept coming down with gut infections. So I had to quit.
Let's make @FocusedLucas aka Pigmie try it to see if it works
Yeah but the tablets contined more than 6mg?
What if they ate turkesterone plants
Damn ig I'm just gay then 😣
11-12 milligrams would have not bult a bit of muscle
9:10 why is that a bad thing?!?!!?!???
It may be that the difference between the lifters of yesteryear and today is... amount of cardio.
I heard you have to have fresh seminal injections rectally in order to be effective.
Have you heard the old Aussie expression "That Sounds Like Bolics"
Bollucks*
I wanna Know more about the guy in the Thumbnail..
The human liver is pretty cool.
Genetics, some people are simply blessed. Another tough pill to swallow. Most of us are Average when it comes to the potential to build a muscular physique. Average aint great. Sorry!
"More testicles mean more iron!"
at least the guy did the experiments on himself and didn't put the public at risk like they would do these days.
I love to put bals in and around my mouth
Hehehehehe...you are great.
I don't even understand the logic "They ate bull testicles so they're basically not natural". I mean it's a bull testicles or from a bull testicle. Even if it would work and someone made a pill from that it would still be natural. It's like arguing that someone that takes protein powder and creatine isn't natural.
More bulls no fools
You guys don’t know what’s good. Bull fries are the best part of the animal. Not your fault though if you don’t have a cattle ranch.
There are millions of people that believe the world is flat.
they drank red bull
Enlightened but still testosterone has been decreasing over the years at a crazy rate so physiques back then in idk the 30s or somethin would most likely be unnatainable today unless there’s some people out there who happen to have more then 1,100+++ ng/dl of testosterone which there ofc are some people out in the world that do but very few. Back then it was more normal then it is now. We’re too comfortable today which is one of the many reasons causing lower testosterone as years go on.

I eat brains to increase my knowledge by osmosis or whatever these people think is happening. 🤣
I eat cat whiskers to grow a bigger beard
wait dude what no
Simply eating meat of any kind helps testosterone.
A burger is not just meat, a steak with salt and its own fat is meat.
? You don't need to eat meat to make/produce testosterone. Not sure you are aware of this, but there are vegan natty body builders and power lifters.
And to think that someone actually ate them raw🤒🤕🤢
That makes sense
Unfortunately it comes from Europe so it’s invalid.
What? Yeah I’m American 🇺🇸
This is why america needs free healthcare. So it can keep the simpletons within the asylums
Ill stick to bro science....
no they are not anabolic. But if you cook them well they are damn tasty
The amount of people continuing to believe this insanity from so long ago is shocking. If you want the results do the work for it. You can’t just expect to shove something down your gullet and get results that way 😂
All these triggered “I’m a hard gainer natty’s” are all parading and screaming steroids cause they’re all experts and graduated from UA-cam university by watching 4 videos about SARMS and steroids. 🧠☠️
