To steroid users ; are muscles more important than your kidneys, liver, glands, vision , nervous system, heart and testicles ? All these parts suffer from steroid usage. Think twice and act wise.
@vashisth sharma you slowly shrink back down to your maximum genetic potential. If you use them to get to your max genetic potential, you don't magically lose that muscle...thats not how it works
I’ve watched over 1000 of your videos and have to say that this is your most powerful one, especially the part about the low dose-moderate users, very powerful message
Much love Phil! Spoke purely from the heart. So tired of these fake natty frauds, especially the low-moderate dose assholes. They are the real problem, not the elites.
Another reason people decide to take roids is because they have a truly flawed image of themselves. Bigorexia is a very real thing. Trust me, you don't need to be giant and shredded like the guys you see on social media to get girls and/or to have a strong character. (getting girls is a big reason guys wanna take the juice, let's be honest). In a generic sense, these are my goals: Lift naturally, eat right, strengthen my mental fortitude and improve my social skills.
Well said and yeah most women don't care about gains. On UA-cam it's because people with gains go out and do those social experiments but to the average guy with muscle you won't pick up women like then unless you are at a nightclub.
Everyine is well aware of the false body expectations the media and society puts on girls. But what is often overlooked is that guys have the same situation, if not worse
@@benoneill5550 lmao I forgot I commented this before. Honestly I'd probably do an oral but later down the line. No need to start now though still got gains to make
Only been training for 3 years & im content with my physique & I’m not even a quarter into my lifting career lol. Some people reach their best physique in their 30s. Being natty is a game of patience.
You, Omar and Jeff will always be my favourite UA-camrs. The very few out there to give us realistic expectations and showing that natties have way more room for improvement.
This is legit one of the best videos I've ever seen as far as motivating naturals. I can't tell you how many times I've considered using when I was starting out, and I'm so glad I never did. I've built a fairly strong physique as a natural and I know that this is the true bodybuilding path. Thanks for this man!
"Dying 70 is young", problem with a lot of youngsters, myself included when I was that age is that they they'd rather die at 50 having lived a certain life than thinking longer term. It's just the wrong mindset.
ye especially if you realize that if you live a healthy life, you can enjoy life perfectly even after 50 without necessarily having health problems (except for hereditary things ofc and other diseases not preventable by your lifestyle) and so the reasoning of these kids becomes flawed bc they are convinced you can't enjoy life as you used to after 50
@@user-us4mc7ej3c Lol, Spartan soldiers literally used to remain on active duty until 60 (google it), and some commanders and kings remained active even longer, and this was back during the BC's when steroids or trt didn't even exist (and stfu with the bull testicles bullshit if someone is going to say that, doing that only increases testosterone for a brief period of time, in the same away doing heavy compound lifts does, if anyone thinks bull testicles can work as PEDs they are heavily misinformed.) And kids these days really think life ends at 40 or 50.
My BJJ instructor is 57 and has really only began to run into major joint and back issues in the last few years. There's a purple belt at my gym who's 63 and fuckin looks it, but still very active. you can keep an active lifestyle for decades longer if you just make the right moves
Bro, I want to say how grateful I am that I came across your channel. I’m 36 years old and have been lifting off and on since I was a teen. Just recently got extremely serious about training again and am striving for the perfect physique. I’m currently 257 and lost 15 lbs in about 2 months. I thought that achieving my perfect body was a pipe dream if not on the juice. Fuck that. You are hugely motivational and inspiring for us naturals. Keep the videos coming. Much respect.
Tim Lincecum No, I don't have any problems getting any tail. BTW... How's ur blood pressure and internal organs? Give my best to Dallas when you see him.
Big Beast Yeah Dallas to a lot. Considering he had the equivalent of 55 naturally producing men. You don't get to near 300lbs by doing a little or taking things in moderation. Checkout UA-cam even the heavy juicers were shocked on what he was taking.
Staying natty cause it is the way it should be. You hit the nail on the head about longevity and vitality. Those should be the most important things on everyone's lives. And now that I have gotten my parents into exercise, this is more evident than ever. I love your channel, keep it up 💗
Damn Alex. That was probably one of the best rants I've heard you go on man. Made some really great points. And I really believe that Nether is Natural, and if I'm right, then he kinda sets the bar really high for what's attainable naturally!
Aside from health, I am genuinely intrigued by natural potential. Your channel, Erics, Phils, and Nethers, have allowed me to go places I never thought possible. Treading the 'impossible' and pushing natural limits is the most fun and interesting endeavor I've ever practiced.
Dope video. Everyone in the fitness industry is fraud! Being a woman, I find it hard to look up to anyone because all women are enhanced too(surgery, fat-burners, photoshop) and we need more people like you to motivate in the fitness community. My boyfriend loves your channel and you’ve inspired him to stay natural for two years now. He’s gone from 140 skin and bones to 200! Keep up the good work man!
your message is so important for young people to hear, the fitness industry screws peoples perception of reality, natural can look good, great message Alex, youre the first youtuber i ever subscribed to,
I'm so glad you made this video man this needed to be said. I've been very discouraged by everyone hopping on the juice and making all these kinds while us naturals are out here grinding and we don't get any recognition. 100% natty and proud. Let's not let these juice heads discourage us nattys
Good shit man. This is very true. I want to stay natural because fitness is like everything else in life there is no free lunch. You work hard and smart, you get the best results. If you take shortcuts, they won't be FREE. If you MUST get to an objective by a given time and your body can't do it naturally with a good program and nutrition, it's probably because it's a bad objective. If your solution to this is to enhance yourself instead of adjusting your objectives, just know that it's not free and you will have to pay the price sooner or later.
Besides the obvious health reasons and moral reasons, I truly enjoy the grind of being natural. Knowing that's its all me and not a magical injection, that's the stuff that keeps me going. Preach buddy!
You are right on the fucking money dude. Natty gains are PERMANENT. I'm an example of that. I got back into weight lifting ONE year ago....after almost 20 years of nothing, just laziness and unmotivatation. End of high school: i weighed 165 lbs. Bench 250, squat and deadlift....didnt do it, at all. Last year I was weighed 225, start programming. Now....I'm 205, 12-15% BF. Bench 285, squat 380, and deadlift, 425!!!! In a YEAR! ONE F ing year. I can tell you, I didnt lose shit after even 18 years of nothing. Shit came back fast AF, plus some. Thia dude is spot on. He believes what I believe everything in this video. Just hard fucking work, and and drive more focused than Indy car racers. And I'm not done. 40s are going to be great. Thank you Alpha Destiny. Fucking preach dude.
You really finished the talk of Eric bugenhagen. This video was really good man. I really hope one day you Will reach a million subscribers because I feel sorry for all those naturals that dont know about this Chanel and just watch other BS Chanels that wont benefit them at all.
António Henriques Its Good To know this from te beginning. If you start realising this after a few years or even months, the chance of start having bodydismorphia Will be really high. Thats Why I personally have bodydismorphia. I’m 5ft11, about 216 pounds at like 20% bf. I have a flat stomach but no visible abs. Outside and even in the gym I Am almost always the biggest out there but still I feel most of the time small. I dont get it. It Makes me sick
Thanks bro. I am 29 and been contemplating getting on something purely for vanity reasons but I’ve chosen not to. I want my son to know that his dad achieved his physique naturally through hard work and discipline and hope he follows in my foot steps. I think people forget even if you’re natty and you train and eat right you still look better than 99% of the population.
First time I did orals (right before they became illegal in USA few years ago) I think it was the 2nd cycle I was on, no matter how good my intentions were and how careful I was starting out, I abused them and got pancreatitis and was peeing blood. I threw away the pills and stopped everything and went back to plant based to detox (at the time I thought I needed animal protein). My doctor said it was a miracle I made it out of that, which I did. But guess what? No matter how good my diet is now or how much I stay hydrated, my pee has never been the same.
Muscle memory is real! I took 2 years 8 months off from any and all training. Took 4 months of training to reach all of my old PR's and even broke my deadlift PR !
When you kept saying "naturals keep their gains, watch juicers when they cycle off, they lose their gains" all I could think of was how Kinobody shrunk down so fast, not too long ago
Man you switched my way of thinking a lot.You are my role model.You have inspired me to : work hard,become a better version of myself and even to become myself a role model for other people (I am considering starting a career as a personal trainer).Show them what can be done naturally and just help people improve their lifes ! Much respect!
I started TRT at age 39 three months ago. I don’t regret it at all. It had nothing to do with gains though. I was having some panic attack issues which I went through all kinds of tests to figure out what was causing it. It was low t since I started TRT I haven’t had one panic attack. For that reason I am definitely happy I started. And I plan on doing al the required blood work to make sure I don’t cause any other damage from it. My strength has gone up but definitely not to an unnatural level.
John Doe yeah I took dhea for like two months before I started TRT. It didn’t really help me as far the panic attacks went. My panic attacks were cause by something in my endocrine system because I didn’t have anxiety. Just all of a sudden I’d have an adrenaline dump and boom full out panic attack
Bastian mine is covered by insurance but there is a telemedical place called entourage that I looked into. It was 119$ a month that included all test and arimadex and hcg.
Bro just wanna hug you just calm down .cheered me up about not to juice in my entire life gonna make this point for my life and I need more videos like this straight forward type
I've been following Alex for a while and he honestly is natty. You can never say anything for certain but if you have been lifting for years, you can honestly tell who is natty or not. If you aren't honestly having people question your natty status as a natty, you aren't doing it right. People for decades have been lied to about the natty limit and potential and have low barred natty expectations. For all we know, Alex, Eric, Omar, etc are juicing. But I honestly and sincerely doubt that as much as I doubt I'm going to die tomorrow by an alien invasion. These guys could be juicing but my certainity that they aren't is 99.9%. Just because there is the existence of uncertainity doesn't make me loss sleep at night. Like I don't actually know if gay frogs are running the world, but I'm very certain they aren't. It's literally everything in life. Uncertainity should be there to test out the facts and you should be able to weight out the options to what is most rational.
Wow I can’t believe I underestimated my own potential (especially me IG @JoeyMayen) I can get HUGE and STRONG without losing gains Natural training (as Alex pointed out to me) increases forever Although it’s slow, it’s always forward progress 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 My Natural Goals: 1) 220LB (100kg) as lean as naturally possible 2) 20 inch arms 3) 225 Overhead/ 315 bench/ 495 Deadlift (I’m at 475) 4) Muscle-Up I already squat 405/ Row 315 which were on my goals list before THANKS ALEX 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Haven't watched you in a bit, but this is a good and important video. Some people don't care about living a long time. I'm planning on staying natural, but I don't care if I live into my 80's. What's the point of being old lol
@@kmecu Well it's been over 3 years since I made that comment. I'd be fine with living into my 80's or even 90's as long as I'm still healthy. I'm sorry about your gramps, I know it sucks.
A lot of roids that are geared towards appearance make Vo2 max very substandard and have other bad effects on cardio. It might be more rewarding for most people to be able to run and not gas out.
It´s so sad ... I am the only natural lifter who is left among my friends ... They are all 225 - 245 and on the juice ...I´m 6 foot 205 lbs and feelin kinda small compared to them lol. I can´t understand why they don´t have the patience and mind power to stay natural. For me personal it has never been a temptation because I don´t wann lie to myself and cheat like that. It´s not my power and strength ... only chemistry. Yeah they may look huge and bigger than me now but let´s see in 20 years from now... I´ll dwarf them hahaha. Keep it natural guys, it´s the only way of a true Iron warrior!!!!!
@ Joe M damn right man ... The problem is they think that I´m not as jacked than they are because of my program and not because of the fact that I´m natural. All I would need to do is train like they do but that´s complete bullshit ... they don´t know anything about natural training. They train with a bro split every muscle just once a week and don´t get the purpose of training every muscle at least twice per week as a natural.
Best part of being natty is that even if you get super big, you never look freaky or weird. Like Nether. if you lift to get girls, staying natty is the best. Hop on roids and you'll get more men.
Going on gear is as a hardcore strength athlete is dangerous because the muscle will grow too fast and the risk of tearing a muscle goes up drastically. Thats my biggest reason for staying natty. Avoiding injuries is primary goal.
cleonriize Genuine query, do you have any proof or is this an observation.? Some people have said the same about Alex, but we know he's Natty in our trust and observation. NGB has some interesting videos non the less.
Drdoombrain He competed in "drug free" shows. ua-cam.com/video/HA__FIGaYs8/v-deo.html Just my observation but then again Nether looks fucking ridiculous for a natural. So we'll never know
Ismail Sheikh or like piano would say anyone who doesn't is just a pussy and will never achieve anything of value because they aren't willing to do whatever it takes
Ismail Sheikh but that’s not a victory goal for everybody, some people want to become high-level powerlifters or bodybuilders (or at least have that look) but pushing themselves to the max while staying natural forever won’t do a lot for their goals
Prime 1980's Mike Tyson pre 1991/92 before he went to prison didn't touch weights he only ran , boxed and did calisthenics only after he was released from jail in 1995 did he begin to do weights (check the interview link!) Many boxing coaches were opposed to weight training back in the day! The argument or that is Evander Holyfield , Nigel Benn etc etc. ua-cam.com/video/JlUwkwoZ2tM/v-deo.html
You're wrong, alex. Steroids are healthy cuz muscles.
2x bigger heart = 2x more healthy
Original Gainstas 😂😂😂
Ryan. Bch lol science
Exactly!
Original Gainstas logic 😂😂😂😂
2x bigger gut, 2x better digestion and stomach capacity = more gains
great video Alex. Really inspirational and 100% truths spoken.
@Brandon Harding lol
Best natural video/advice here on youtube! Wow
So this is why Connor Murphy lost 20lbs of muscle out of nowhere 😒
No shit lol steroids are all over the fitness industry..
Damn, just did a quick Google, RIP those gainz...
Connor was never that big in the first place.
Imo conner was natural
Connor gained 75lbs of muscle from those jizz protein shakes. Facts!
To steroid users ; are muscles more important than your kidneys, liver, glands, vision , nervous system, heart and testicles ? All these parts suffer from steroid usage. Think twice and act wise.
Yes, I’m natural but I mean if they keep taking it to where they’re huge then they don’t care lol
Some will say yes
Testicles are overrated the rest aren't
Rofl a low dose test cycle or even a standard beginner cycle isn't going to do any of that. What about TRT?
@vashisth sharma you slowly shrink back down to your maximum genetic potential. If you use them to get to your max genetic potential, you don't magically lose that muscle...thats not how it works
I’ve watched over 1000 of your videos and have to say that this is your most powerful one, especially the part about the low dose-moderate users, very powerful message
Much love Phil! Spoke purely from the heart. So tired of these fake natty frauds, especially the low-moderate dose assholes. They are the real problem, not the elites.
You are the ultimate natural role model man keep doing what you're doing
Dean P You should look at Eric Bugenhagen too, they're both big role models for me!
You're That Ninja Eric physique it's not impressive in my opinion
Brother GG Yes, but that's np, Eric doesn't really focus on his physique, he's fricking strong and natural too, that's what's important.
This needs to get viral
Another reason people decide to take roids is because they have a truly flawed image of themselves. Bigorexia is a very real thing.

My strength has gone up but definitely not to an unnatural level.
david sandlin That's good that it's working for you
John Doe yeah I took dhea for like two months before I started TRT. It didn’t really help me as far the panic attacks went. My panic attacks were cause by something in my endocrine system because I didn’t have anxiety. Just all of a sudden I’d have an adrenaline dump and boom full out panic attack
How expensive is that? I'm 42 and still doing pretty good in the gym, but it gets harder every year man.
Bastian mine is covered by insurance but there is a telemedical place called entourage that I looked into. It was 119$ a month that included all test and arimadex and hcg.
Ouch. That's pretty steep. I hate getting old, but I'm holding off on that stuff . Hope your panic attacks have stopped.
This is what people need to hear. No need for drugs, just work hard and bust ass. Stay natural brother.
Great video alpha, agree 110% with everything you said 💪
Bro just wanna hug you just calm down .cheered me up about not to juice in my entire life gonna make this point for my life and I need more videos like this straight forward type
Brilliant video. Thanks from Ireland.
I love this dude he's straight up
But what if Alex is the ultimate fake natty?
Dick above the knee You can never say 100%
beuyhs1000 read the debate on nattyornot.com ?
I've been following Alex for a while and he honestly is natty. You can never say anything for certain but if you have been lifting for years, you can honestly tell who is natty or not. If you aren't honestly having people question your natty status as a natty, you aren't doing it right. People for decades have been lied to about the natty limit and potential and have low barred natty expectations. For all we know, Alex, Eric, Omar, etc are juicing. But I honestly and sincerely doubt that as much as I doubt I'm going to die tomorrow by an alien invasion. These guys could be juicing but my certainity that they aren't is 99.9%. Just because there is the existence of uncertainity doesn't make me loss sleep at night. Like I don't actually know if gay frogs are running the world, but I'm very certain they aren't. It's literally everything in life. Uncertainity should be there to test out the facts and you should be able to weight out the options to what is most rational.
100% Natty with fake natty beard!
Tony Riccio Actually its not how it works but I believe Alex is natural
POWERFUL. TRUTH.
Much love and respect brotha.
I’m 19 but I was going to use at around 22-23 years
Let’s see what this video has to say...
Wow I can’t believe I underestimated my own potential (especially me IG @JoeyMayen)
I can get HUGE and STRONG without losing gains
Natural training (as Alex pointed out to me) increases forever
Although it’s slow, it’s always forward progress 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
My Natural Goals:
1) 220LB (100kg) as lean as naturally possible
2) 20 inch arms
3) 225 Overhead/ 315 bench/ 495 Deadlift (I’m at 475)
4) Muscle-Up
I already squat 405/ Row 315 which were on my goals list before
THANKS ALEX 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Literally my role model, you drive me to succeed. Cheers mate
Haven't watched you in a bit, but this is a good and important video. Some people don't care about living a long time. I'm planning on staying natural, but I don't care if I live into my 80's. What's the point of being old lol
My grandfather was very active and sharp in his 80s. I miss him and I’m sure he would like to live longer.
@@kmecu Well it's been over 3 years since I made that comment. I'd be fine with living into my 80's or even 90's as long as I'm still healthy. I'm sorry about your gramps, I know it sucks.
This was an awesome and very needed PSA! Too many young lifters have a skewed idea of jacked and shredded is possible naturally!
Alex teach us how to get a one arm chin up if you haven’t addressed the topic
I will
I was trying yesterday and shits hard and I start spinning lol
AlphaDestiny thank you I’m looking forward to it
Guy Pheonix train to get a pull up with the 80% of your bw. Then you Will be able to do 1handed pull up.
Jesus Duque simple enough🤷🏻♂️
YEEEESSSSSS YESSSSS FINALLY SOMEONE BRINGS EVERYTHING THAT HAVE TO BE SAID HAS BEEN SAID
A lot of roids that are geared towards appearance make Vo2 max very substandard and have other bad effects on cardio. It might be more rewarding for most people to be able to run and not gas out.
This video was really awesome. This needs to get out to the community.
It´s so sad ... I am the only natural lifter who is left among my friends ... They are all 225 - 245 and on the juice ...I´m 6 foot 205 lbs and feelin kinda small compared to them lol. I can´t understand why they don´t have the patience and mind power to stay natural. For me personal it has never been a temptation because I don´t wann lie to myself and cheat like that. It´s not my power and strength ... only chemistry. Yeah they may look huge and bigger than me now but let´s see in 20 years from now... I´ll dwarf them hahaha. Keep it natural guys, it´s the only way of a true Iron warrior!!!!!
Echnaton der IV Good man for staying natural, must be very fucking hard when the people around you are pinning
@ Joe M damn right man ... The problem is they think that I´m not as jacked than they are because of my program and not because of the fact that I´m natural. All I would need to do is train like they do but that´s complete bullshit ... they don´t know anything about natural training. They train with a bro split every muscle just once a week and don´t get the purpose of training every muscle at least twice per week as a natural.
Im sorry that I ever considered jumping on the juice. never did it and never will! Thank you!
think of the effect on your psyche, your mindset when you get off gear
I hate when guys talk about the "natural limit" and "strength potential" you can achieve so much naturally, good stuff Alex.
Alex you real asf
holy fkn shit, i think i just got smacked with a little dose of truth!! preach my man
Best part of being natty is that even if you get super big, you never look freaky or weird. Like Nether. if you lift to get girls, staying natty is the best. Hop on roids and you'll get more men.
Exactly! Only gaylords care more about muscles then women do.
A wise man once said to me that if you cheat, you cheat yourself. It just stuck, so now I just believe in hard work and determination.
Going on gear is as a hardcore strength athlete is dangerous because the muscle will grow too fast and the risk of tearing a muscle goes up drastically. Thats my biggest reason for staying natty. Avoiding injuries is primary goal.
ButcherTV out of all the reasons of staying natty, this is possibly the worst reason.
You’re an inspiration in the industry
Netherbeast can do 1 arm pullups for reps, that's goals right there.
And he weighs 220lbs. Who the fuck else can do that.
Exactly. The dude's an animal
he's a
beast
He’s a fraud
MrZetaHeta This comment has not aged well
Thanks Alex....staying natural!
Dammn man this was inspirational
This video deserves a shitload more views.
LOL Bugenhagen is probably going to be in the WWE and hes natty
Alex, ur a fucking G bro. Ice been inspired by ur channel more than any others. Keep up the good work homie
Alex bugenhagen
Trotse Berber lol
One of the realest vids out there bro. Big time respect.
Natrual Gallant on UA-cam is also pretty awesome.
He's not natty imo
cleonriize Genuine query, do you have any proof or is this an observation.? Some people have said the same about Alex, but we know he's Natty in our trust and observation. NGB has some interesting videos non the less.
Vegeta Just my opinion man
Drdoombrain He competed in "drug free" shows.
ua-cam.com/video/HA__FIGaYs8/v-deo.html Just my observation but then again Nether looks fucking ridiculous for a natural. So we'll never know
Your the man. Stay Fukin Natural...bye bye gains ....love it...
Longevity is key, whoever takes drugs is just in my opinion looking for shortcuts and doesnt wanna put in the fucking work.
Ismail Sheikh or like piano would say anyone who doesn't is just a pussy and will never achieve anything of value because they aren't willing to do whatever it takes
not necessarily a shortcut. some strive to be above what is possible naturally
No man, if someones wants to get on juice thats their decision but the real victory is when you push the natural limit to the maximum.
Ismail Sheikh but that’s not a victory goal for everybody, some people want to become high-level powerlifters or bodybuilders (or at least have that look) but pushing themselves to the max while staying natural forever won’t do a lot for their goals
Fly Yeah if someone is a competitive bodybuilder or powerlifter, then its ok because thats their trade, im talking about recreation lifters over here.
I agree! These fakes are making everyone believe a false reality. Work hard and stay consistent the results will come💪😎
Almost everyone is fake natty, its insane
Insane AF honestly
i look up to you alex. you are one of the realist youtubers man.
Could you make a video adressing Mike Tysons Physiques
cocaine
I hope he sees this and really do a Mike tyson body video
I hope he sees this and really do a Mike tyson body video
Prime 1980's Mike Tyson pre 1991/92 before he went to prison didn't touch weights he only ran , boxed and did calisthenics only after he was released from jail in 1995 did he begin to do weights (check the interview link!) Many boxing coaches were opposed to weight training back in the day! The argument or that is Evander Holyfield , Nigel Benn etc etc.
ua-cam.com/video/JlUwkwoZ2tM/v-deo.html
Tyson did hundreds of dips a day along with doing hundreds of reps of shrugs with a 30 kg barbell.
