5 years later still preaching the same values. Man of integrity
Yeah he's saving kids from those roid heads
im natty because im scared of needles lol
same
Do Dianabol and wreck your liver.
Same
Low dose of anavar orals then. Just check your liver with a blood test like twice a year and you'll be a healthy happy fake natty.
lol
You're a great speaker
Thank you
you've improved immensely compared to your older videos man
Jack Brah Experience is key. Talking to people is not at all the same as talking to a camera that doesn't give you any feedback.
+AlphaDestiny Definitely come a long way. 500+ videos in and I hope you dont run out of shit to talk about. Ive put several people on your programs. wish you success man
Jack Brah Thanks man I appreciate it! And no worries I have a lot more content on the way.
My biggest reason to avoid gear is I don't want to depend on something that may not always be there. Same reason I don't like hair product, caffiene or jewelry. I just like the fact that I can jump out of bed and do something with minimal effort and still look, function, and live the way I want regardless.
That's true, when you get off you'll lose the gains.
Exactly, what if you travel and can't get access. Or if your supplier gets caught or leaves. Or if you get locked up in prison for something random. No access to testosterone or PCT and the gainz are gone.
There are many reasons...hell I can ramble on for over 30 minutes on this topic, but I'll TRY to keep it brief.
Hopefully this video inspires YOU to stay natural. Don't hop over to the dark side.
My reason for staying natural is purely based of the feeling that I was able to get to wherever I will without any external help from roids. That and health.
you are doing a great job alex,btw how much do you think you would weigh if you were 6 feet tall?
Because you're poor.
Hey candito love the pedo stache and liquor store wife beater
Can you do a video on phycodelics and it's effect on gains.
i always wonder why many of your fans got so sensitive when you promote healthy eating and lifestyle, being alpha is not about eating the thickest steak and smoking six packs a day, anyone who think that is alpha is fucked up in their head. keep it up alex. thanks for the content.
Natural gains are so underrated, everybody thinks if you are natural you will in the best case look like you barely lift, but natural you can look great I talk like the Zyzz type of look (even bigger with higher BF) especially the genetic gifted which btw are not rare like unicorns...not to speak about strenght.
yeah you can look like a little smaller Zyzz if you want to be lean like him. But I suggest 10-12% bf will look good on most guys and you can look close like Zyzz.
BODYBUILDING JUNKIE
I used him for a example because everybody knows him...with 12-14%bf you can be even bigger than zyzz. and still carry a six pack.
+BODYBUILDING JUNKIE his body is generic u can reach that naturally in 5-8 years
and that scares people the only way people can make it a part of their lives if they chose to have fun with it
people that are strict don't tend to make it like the veteran that says "oh I used to do arms every day." or "i never used to hit legs as much."
+MC & blue unit I don't get the last part of your comment, can you elaborate more?
If you're training for aesthetics I can definitely see the reason behind it. He had an amazing traps (even for gear standards) and his chest development was perfect (upper lower chest pretty much evenly developed).
0 bullshit detected. Fucking words right here
Bubble butt, boulder shoulders and big traps are where it's at mayne.
Bubble butt bonanza drop it down like a belly danca' baby pleaaase
Fuck yeah
i care about my health and i like my progress in the gym atm.
the only reason to stay natural is because its healthier
pretty much the most important
it wouldn't be illegal if it wasn't harmful to your health
@@trnsetr3093 you serious?
I really do appreciate you as a youtuber man. Most youtubers don't give a fuck about their subscribers
You must be the only person with neck extension goals
Fuck yeah man I'm going to hit 6 plates this year.
The only limit will be to hold the weight xD
+KSR PUROHIT FITNESS Yeah, I've got to see these max effort neck workouts. Do you use a neck spotter so you don't snap your shit up? Do you wear a belt around your neck? So many questions...
I stay natural for pretty much the same reason you do plus your right most of us don't wanna be super fucking massive like a damn bodybuilder I wanna just reach my maximum potential naturally and we can still get pretty big naturally as well and it feels way better then cheating your self taking steriods and your right this way we will be more healthy and live a long ass happy healthy life and your right most of us nattys can out lift juice heads because we are sticking to our true selves.
"raw and uncut" and then theres a cut right away...jokes aside, you make awesome videos. am doing your novice program and loving it!
Haha glad you like it
Great video Alex.
Being natty for almost all the people is the best thing, you an get a great physique being natural, but most people just train wrong.
First time finding your channel, after a lot of my subs have been telling me to check you out, fucking awesome work man love this shit!!
im natural for alot of the same reasons u are. I wanna stay healthy, it's expensive, getting quality gear us really hard cos its illegal, it won't give me anymore satisfaction to lift geared over natural. and alot more reasons
I think people need to embrace the journey of training and stop over focusing on the end result
I've seen a young dude at my gym fuckin big as Arnold.. he couldn't rack pull 3 plates.
Yo you lyin lol
nope. this dude is jacked fuckin huge. he can bench 3 plates, but once i saw him trying to rack pull with a few other guys and he didn't know how to do it and couldn't pull that weight.
That doesn't make sense cuz my lil ass can do it with no problems
I can rack pull 495
And I weigh 170 and about 19% body fat soooo
You are a great speaker. You keep it real and you care about your viewers. I appreciate that. Also you like DBZ! you got my views man. keep up the GREAT work
Another great feeling is being about 18 years old and out lifting many adults in there 20's and 30's. I'm not super strong because my bench is only about 235 but that's better then like 70 % of people in my commercial gym. And I'm not too worried if other guys are stronger then me right now. In a couple years I'll be repping 315 on bench and be stronger then people older then me and who are on the juice
For sure! It's fun when you're a teenager outlifting all the adults.
+AlphaDestiny Definently
Can u do full days of eating soon
Is that what you guys want? I know you voted for more nutrition stuff...but if you REALLY want some days of eating let's see some thumbs up.
Would love to see what you eat fam
+AlphaDestiny It would be interesting. Just one vid would be chill!
I f@cking love this guy, no homo. Please keep doing this stuff for a long time! I'll support you till the end my fellow brother!
fuck yeah alex a true natty inspiration built his channel on a solid foundation
Alex on the topic of eating videos.
I think the viewers would love a video of showing your average breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner ETC
Respect that. Be unapologetic for it, You're the man.
Fucking awesome bro. With your strength and approach there's no need for gear use
Classic video 💪🏾
I agree with most of what you say, but you gotta take into account not every juicehead is about muslce AND strength, most of them just wanna get big without hurting themselves with heavy weights.
I'll forever be natty because i'm in this long term. Many roiders quit lifting after they aren't able to take stuff anymore. I wanna be the badass 55 year old still swole and strong asf.
Same
The realist one out there. My brother!
Awesome videos and even better attitude, subbed not because of information in general, most of the stuff I learned before, but the way You interact and explain things, in simple way so that everybody understands it. Keep up the good work.
I'm not getting on the juice because I'm 16 I have great genetics anf haven't even tapped 1 percent of my maximum potential
Hahahahaha "I'm fucking 5'5, I'm a manlett for god sakes" dead
Juicing up increases your muscles but also your heart because it's also a muscle. The heart can't keep up and therefore many get stroke, heart attacks.
you've become my fav workout youtube guy. Fkn awesome bro, much respect
Hey bro, you should do some vlogs too. That video where you got pissed at what looked like a park for people being too loud was video gold (I think it was your park workout video). You have way more personality than these other "fitness experts" that have hundreds of thousand subscribers vlogging their daily routine.
So many people are about instant gratification. They want a magic pill or a shortcut to reach their goals faster. Anything worth anything takes a lot of work and effort. REal talk Alpha, I appreciate your honesty and hard work, very inspiring!!
appreciate your genuineness and the last part put the nail in the coffin. I think authentic behavior goes good with authentic physique, fuck the juicers!
It is funny when you see gear heads barely repping pull-ups, and skinny me walks up to the bar adds 30KG on a weight belt and starts repping them out :')
It's funny as fuck. I saw this muscle monster doing half reps with 275 on the bench and his arms were 19+. I also saw another dude doing 2 plates on barbell shrugs. It's very pathetic to see.
Definitely appreciate ya brother!!!! Enjoy your vids
I really think you should keep Pete and some powerlifting competitions you seem very goal oriented and when your goal oriented and do a powerlifting competition you're going to grow stronger Plus it's cool to show your kids some pics and trophies up your wedding you have a perfect proportions for powerlifting
Here's your ffffucking well earned Like
His last reason is absolutely legit! Being "decently muscular"/not freakish, but strong is absolutely empowering-puts you way above massive guys who are weak as shit!
But..what if you may need TRT to bring your Testosterone levels up to even the Normal range?..
I think I do, but I don't wanna start using it.
I got my levels tested months ago and they were 250..i'm 24. And if i got it, it would be from the Dr, and probably covered under insurance..
Awesome Video man! Major respect for you !
You're the natty hero we need, but not the one we deserve. Anyway, will neck training make you look older? I want to stop looking like a 15 year-old kid and my employer doesn't allow beards.
I find neck training does in fact make you older, but in a good way. A thick neck makes you appear very masculine, not young and childish.
im a manlet for god sakes... hahaha XD
This guy is real as fuck, subscription from me!
Natty and strongman training is the way to go. I agree a lot could be done without drugs. I'm in my mid 40s still doing the same shit I did when I was in my 20s. People don't realize that consistent training will also keep your natural hormone levels stable too. No need for steroids, TRT or any of that crap.
My main and only reason is HEALTH!
watching this vid today and realize u did reach a 1000lb rackpull in bout 4months from this, i am already smearing my progress with shit so it goes faster, NE best system ever written. thx
".....and its illegal!"lol on point bro
I like staying natty because I don't care about being bigger than I already am or benching 500 and I am still making strength gains after many years of training so why not. When you get stronger through proper programming it feels like a real achievement, like little trophies along the way while doing something you enjoy
I am honestly natural because obtaining it is hard in thw US, at least where I live. I do not see what is wrong with taking 250mg of test E a week for 8 weeks at a time. Lets be honest.
hi, you always upload great content, but i have a somewhat unrelated but important question for you: you always preach neck training for aesthetics, but can't hypertrophy in your neck be bad for your health? many studies correlate wider necks with sleep apnea and snoring, alongside other perturbations of sleep, but i Don't think those studies take into consideration the actual composition of the neck since virtually nobody trains their neck for hypertrophy or strength. what are your views on that? how big is your neck and have you noticed any changes since you decided to make it grow?
TL:DR. can neck hypertrophy result on sleep apnea or snoring?
No, actually people with necks over 16" are much more prone to have sleep apnea.
+Christopher Wood Yes, because most people with necks that big are fat as fuck.
What we are wondering is if a LEAN MUSCLE increase in the neck causes the same issues
thanks man, great channel , just subscribed
Great vid - especially the point about the costs & overall feasibility of actually obtaining and using quality drugs & hormones. Who actually wants to deal with all of those injections? I understand that it is a necessary evil, but it's a factor most people do not consider.
Good video alex
Real talk, as per usual.
Lovin the message. Respect man. Respect
Great video! You made some good points here
Alpha I’m way off topic here.. but what power rack do. You have at home?
Old video but holy fuck Alex is so cool. Wish I knew him IRL.
This is the best video youve made
Is the book naturally enhanced suitable for aesthetic needs?
EDIT: The last part was real good. Those traps and delts man! I strongly recommend that angle more
Nice dbz reference and great video
Should do some personal vids, do u have a day job for instance ?
Thanks for the channel and NE, I have made insane gains in like 3-4 months, and i was already at the late novice stage
I was going to ask the same thing. I wanna know more about Alex as a guy.
same
Hes a personal trainer i believe
Liked and favorited this video. Pretty much all the same reasons I am natty. I can be one of the best on juice and get so much money and fans but I choose to stay natty. Health is the main reason. Also even more than health is self happiness. I think its important to be happy with what you are delt with and no drugs or external sources like calf implants or plastic surgery to look like what I naturally won't any longer. Being happy with one self is most important. Steroids and plastic surgery perpetuates the message of self unhappiness. Steroids for cosmetic reasons fall into that as they wouldn't be happy with their bodies or strength without them. Also plastic surgery is like that for obvious reasons. Sends the youth and others the wrong message and leads to major disorders. Also I am already naturally strong and built and good looking that I don't need the stuff though I'd be better with them. But what will I tell people? That the only way to be the best is to take the stuff which is true but not a good message and also that I wouldn't be the way I am if not for the drugs. I am already bigger and stronger than most gear users. Pro bodybuilders are bigger than me but I am stronger than most of them as I am a powerlifter. Plus most of them take so much drugs that if they were never on drugs they wouldn't even touch me. I have an IFBB pro in my gym and I squat and deadlift more than he ever will. Squat he is a little more but I will pass him and drugs and deadlift I will always do better. Pressing he is better but his upper body blows mine away. I am no slouch in the pressing though and am getting better. Plus nobody even the juiceheads in my gym can out total me in powerlifting. Also don't need drugs to achieve my goals. Short term is a 405lb bench and 600lb squat and an 800lb deadlift and a 250lb military press which are good numbers for even juicers that I can hit naturally or even more. The satisfaction of doing this myself is the best thing. Even when gains stop as they are slowing down as it is I won't ever take them. I will only do trt if doctor says it is imparative for my health otherwise I won't even do that. Also one dude who competes in physique and is jacked is aware of the ifbb pro and even told me that out of everyone he has ever met that I have the best genetics. This guy has played college football and has been to many gyms and competed with many bodybuilders and is aware of the IFBB pro and he still told me that and brought up the fact that I am natural and still no one comes near me in strength and if I juiced I would pull 1000lbs easy which is true. But 800lbs natty is enough for me. That's pretty much why I stay natty. I salute this vid and salute you. We need more people like you in the fitness industry and in general. I too am very simple. Rarely go out unless its to the gym and only see friends rarely and thats when I feel like it and can only count on one the friends I hang out with while having many people I know. I will continue to support your cause. Sorry for the long rant but hope to keep the hope alive for all the natties out there.
12:07 gingers do have souls!!!! lmao it reminded me of it lol
i dont see how
dudeu have best channel u should do vlogs and some swaggy stuuffs for more subscribers!
It makes you feel good to be stronger than bodybuilders who focus on mind muscle connection and not weight. They only care about growing, who cares if you're stronger?
Its not expesnive,farma grade test 500ml weekly for 3 months cost 70 dollars
Hey alex,make a video on setting up a home gym man. i have a good idea,look,power rack,then a pull up bar,dips.. the barbell and the bench
Hey Alex you always say that various types of vertical shoulder presses builds 3D delts but doesnt over head presses put most of the tension on the front head? Wouldnt that cause imbalances and posture problems in the future. Doesnt lateral raises hit the lat head better? Just wondering??
Thnx bro Love your channel
I get this question way too much...I will upload a video on this soon.
+AlphaDestiny ok thnx but plz dont forget it. I Will be sitting here patiently waiting in the corner for the video....
Thnx again
I have heard that your muscels are of ''better quality'' by staying natural and training hard, you are 100% right and also your natural body will stay almost the same after 3 months without working out when those on the juice will be like an uninflated balloon.
I see it all the time. Guys get huge overnight. They disappear from the gym for a few months. They come back to the gym looking pathetic. Like the never touched a weight in their life. That's not for me. I always am in shape. I realize that compared to a guy that pins I am not impressive. But at least it is real.
Nice channel. I started again after 2 years break.. Mostly mushle ups pull ups push ups and stuff like that.. Also i find pilates ball very effective. I m gonna hit a gym to combine some lifting
The kid speaks the truth. I did a typical bro workout program years ago compete with the juice. Got kinda swole and leaned out but nothing freaky. Now I'm pushing 40yo, full natty and actually lift with some knowledge. I've made better gains at this age (though it took longer to show) just by doing it right. As of right now I have no plans for trt. I'm making gains, losing fat and my dick works all by itself.
Alpha Destiny I am about to start football and I'm currently running your novice program. I was was wondering if I should take a break from the program and start it back up in a few months or should I stick with the program during football season even though my strength will suffer? Thanks a lot man!!
Run an in-season program 2x a week full body DUP with an emphasis on GPP.
Would you jump on the juice if you found out that you had only a couple months to live?
Pretty sure he would quit lifting all together and go travel the world mate
loved the video man I've been kind of thinking about going on but you had great points and the odds if me going on have fallen alot thanks Alex
I'm happy to hear that brother! Stay natural, you have a lot more gains to milk.
i agree completely man. i always use to use the excuse of being ectomorph or alien skinny when i first started. id always say a guy like me needs roids. until i started going hard at the weights an actually focused on my diet. im up 50lbs of muscle in 3 years. weighing at 185 12%bf at 6'2". ive hit PR after PR the past 2 months an my physique has exploded. i went from bean pole to aesthetic as fuck completely natty with just hard work. recent months my bodys responding amazingly. youre also right about the weak grip roid heads. i can lift more on my shoulders an back than some dudes 2x the size of me. i cant justify using roids with these crazy results. especially considering the cost of roids. where im from you can get a whole 12 week cycle of test e, letrozole and clomid for around 300$. its not crazy exensive but i could use that same amount on clean nutrient dense food an have the same results minus the health affects and minus the building bigger muscles but not allowing the tiny muscles to grow with them. Like the guys who are juiced to the gills an dont do rotator cuff excersizes then do a big press an move there form a few degrees an blow there shoulder out. i might be able to justify roids when i get an unreal plateau from my own natty amount of test but even then. hard choice lol
lmao that video was great. quickly becoming my favorite fitness youtuber. so your low back pain guide is helping me a lot. im doing ghetto reverse hypers and body weight good mornings, buying ankle weights soon, building a tire sled with my dad, I do lat pull downs, adding hanging leg raises tomorrow. I am even considering dropping 800 dollars to get a reverse hyper, that show much I care about it. I have had back pain for 9 months and I hate it. I did yoga forever to cure the majority of it, but now I need the last little bit of pain to go away so I can hop back on a novice program and also strengthen my lowback. Would you think it would be worth it to get the reverse hyper machne? I was thinking around christmas. And do you have any tips besides these to get over low back pain? i have tried the chrio before as well. Im never going to give up. I know through some combination of effort and learning I can get strong, just searching for the right people to help.
would be cool to see you do some eating videos, and also I know you dont want bigger legs but would be nice to see u do some squats on camera.
Hey Mike,
I'm happy to hear that your back is doing better, it's great seeing guys like you applying the advice and seeing changes.
So in terms of what you can do extra...I think you're pretty covered. If you want a reverse hyper machine make sure it's a good one (westside barbell is best). The feet have to be even with the face to fully traction the spine.
Also, you don't have to buy the machine if you don't want to, as there are ways of making the ghetto reverse hypers harder...by attaching bands from the front to your feet.
AlphaDestiny, the original swoll hippie.
whole food plant based and you mentioned lentils for protein. Do you limit/avoid meat consumption? jusy try to stay under the 300mg of cholesterol, 25g of saturated fat, and under 1500mg of sodium? I am also curious as to what you eat day to day.
Well my meat intake isn't super high, I usually have lentils or other beans instead..and my diet is like 60-80% carbs so it's never been a major concern for me. I'm like 90% plant-based.
do a vid about plant based diets for health and lifting, pros cons etc !!!!
All I see you doing for your neck is training front and back side of it.What about side neck?You do anything for that?If yes could you give some excersises if not isn't that going to cause muscle imbalance?
I do all kinds of things for my neck but I don't give away all my secrets.
you're the man bro u got my thumbs up
dude 5'5 is awesome height for lifting. You shouldn't ever have to worry. It's guys that are really tall that have to worry.
you'll have gains for years.
Wtf you make no sense
Pretty Boy Flizzy It's basic biomechanics.
Honestly man I'd rather be taller than shorter. Because when you're taller your potential for muscle is greater. It may take longer but in the end it looks better and you have the potential to be stronger than the shorter guy.
See you would think that, but it's not true. Biomechanically the most optimal height for humans is roughly 5'5. Neanderthals were majority 5'5. These guys didn't lift weights, but by examining the insertion points of where muscle use to be on their bones we know that they could bench 500 pounds at the age of maturity without weight lifting like we do today. Taller guys have greater strain on their heart, bones, tendons, and over all it sucks. For a 6 foot guy arm curling a 25 pound wieght is about as hard as it is for a 5'5 guy to arm curl a 50 pound weight. This all transfers over to every lift. When looking at the squat and dead lift after a person grows to a certain height those movements can actually damage your spine unless your form is spot on. A 5'5 guy has a better center of gravity and doesn't recieve as much stress so he can lift and while form still needs to be there he had more wiggle room so to speak. Being tall is all for show. Look at gymnastics. Most of the guys doing gymnastics are also 5'5 or close to that height. 5'5 is the perfect height.
Hey Alpha, what do you think of the short range of motion the pro bodybuilders seem to do on all their movements? Seems like crap training to me.
Mostly crap. If they want to do partials they can always use pins/boards or use bands to overload the top.
Keep up the good work...
Hey Alex. Big fan here. You said in your video "whole food plant based diet" is what you follow. Are you a vegan/vegetarian? (I'm a vegan myself).
Not vegan but I still eat whole food plant based.
my right thumb, the muscle that connects into the wrist. it's weak and wondering if you could make a video on thumb weakness and strengthening the muscle. thanks.
Do towel pullups and incorporate more pinch work into your training
Alex, my gym was closed today and today was my volume day. So can I go tomorrow? Is 48 hours enough rest time between the volume and intensity day?
you only train TWICE a week? will hitting a muscle just once a week produce any strength gains then?
I really don't recommend it.
How old are you? Just wandering cus i am 16, lean 135lbs and the same height as you
This dude is awesome.
My man!alex props!
You are the fucking best.
Hey alex, Im a highschool wrestler and I've been wondering if your "Naturally Enhanced" Program would work well?
Probably! The neck is one of the most important muscles in the program and everything that you do could make you a better wrestler.
