Derek from More Plates More Dares casually mentioned how his body is incapable of producing natural testosterone but this is currently not a concern of his. As if it was the most normal thing. Sick world.

My sisters fience is the best athlete i know. He doesnt care at all about fitness, he just plays tennis mostly and whatever else is going on. I, on the other hand have always been fitness focused (calisthenics & weightlifting) - no sports background at all. So when it comes down to any contest between me and him (who can throw the furthest/ fastest, who can kick a football harder or even run a distance etc) he completely smashes me at all of it. We're not that different in height and weight either. Except I look like an athlete but he performs like one. It really is a funny subject to think on. 😅

Lots of do gooders in this comment section. Hats off to the bioneer your a stud. Im 56 useing trt and i like the bennifts. I work construction so my body needs all the help it can get. Before you judge me. I was molested severely as a child. I won't get into the things I've lost in this lifetime. . And I want perform at a top level and trt helps. I'm willing to bet the trauma from the abuse as a child was more severe the. any side effect from trt. Imo

Yeah yeah, I don‘t care about allat. I wanna get as big as possible

Military’s don’t promote the use but plenty of guys DO use them. Just a matter of where you are and who you’re around. Just like anything else.

I would never tell amyone to use any type of medication, BUT this information is very wrong. He js speaking aboit one kr two types of streiods , not all. Testosterone is actually quite useful for older men, hgh can help avoid surgery and improve sleep and improve iq. There are HUNDREDS of tyoes of steriods , which i hate that word, they are not all the same. For people with injuries, health issues , or hormonal imbalances, such as bipolar or depression, certain types may be helpful. Talk to a doctor , not a bodybuilder or some youtube guy. I broke my neck, i was 43 years old and told my life was over for the most part, i had lost use of my right arm and two major muscles nerves were severed , my pec major , and long head on my triceps , i couldnt stand up straight , needed help wiping my ass. Small doses of hgh and Testosterone returned me to health, i cant bring the musckes that died back, but i can function perfectly fine and even powerlift and bodybuild on a lesser level of course.

They are lame, but to say that they aren't going to improve performance that requires mobility is absurd. Why would so many ufc fighters use them? Jon Jones has popped 3 times. It isn't because they don't help with virtually every aspect. Steroids don't just make big muscles. They allow rapid recovery. That's why fighters use them. They can get more sessions without soreness. This whole video borderlines on nonsense.

man ive been watching you since i dont know and i love your contetn really because you keep it simple and realistic but why dont you take boxing classes if you like it so much once per week should be enough 😂😂😂. greetings from germany.

My dad works with helping people with benefits in my local council. He says that a good majority of the people he helps are old bouncers and roid heads from the 90s, that their livers are completely destroyed and ruining their lives from their roid usage

Thanks for a great video, lifting weights even without steroids is hard on the joints and tendons

This was a great video to make, I’m tired of watching videos of guys who are juiced out of their minds paying lip service to the negatives of steroids while really just the fact that they owe their living to steroids is an advertisement enough for impressionable youths. Nice to see a normal person really get down to the truth about how that stuff really makes you weaker.

Took them when I was younger, lost so much hair and getting it back was an absolute pain. It also temporarily aged my face substantially with the water weight, hypertrophied face muscles, skin quality etc. I do believe they enhance performance, especially at low doses of test for example in sports. It's really difficult to do minimal damage to yourself on them though, they also DO lower IQ, manifests as feeling foggy, you can get anhedonia (especially to anything that isn't the gym or your sport), they can help you learn skills faster apparently which I find interesting. Tendon sides are also huge indeed and dangerous, I never had anything but overall it probably wasn't worth it. I was fascinated by the chemistry so it was inevitable I would try, but I would do it much differently, that's for sure. People take it for aesthetics but the truth is less is more aesthetically, if you're lean that's more attractive to 99.9% of people, the echo chamber that is the fitness community is not reality.

Using steroids impact your mental performance heavily and the brain damage is irreversible, check out new research

Well done Adam! Proud lifetime natural here, and I can definitively say that you can achieve a very impressive & strong physique naturally without ever touching a single drug. You can even do it without using any supplements if your diet is dialed in and appropriate for building and maintaining lean muscle mass. Just put in the hard and smart work in the gym consistently and you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the results you can achieve while also living a healthier and longer life. 💪

So much nonsense and myths about steroids. Just as those who use them do it for the ego, those who find them pathetic too, because they are criticizing others for their choices and wanting to feel morally superior. Every high-performance sport/physical activity leads to problems and injuries, all of them, with or without steroids. Steroids are like any medicine, the secret is the dose, creating terrorism and pretending that there are no types with doses with a high percentage of safety is a silly thought of someone who was hurt by other people's results.

Very strongly agree. In a world where Abuse of "Performance enhancing drugs" is promoted and pushed onto the young audience who don't fully understand the risks:rewards ratio, It's important to spread awareness about permanent and life long negatives that impair cognitive and functional ability which helps in the real world. Hands off to you for making this video 👏

I agree with the premise of the video and am a natural lifter. But I can't help but point out the egregious amount of generalisation you're using for your points. The fact of the matter is that a person using steroids responsibly can absolutely improve their performance with minimal to low health impairment, aside from the inevitable drawbacks. You've generalized steroid users as having poor vascular health and low mobility. These things are just simply not necessarily true for an intelligent and educated application of steroids. There are too many nuances in this topic to overlook these generalisations. You're using blanket statements to round off most of your points.

Loved the Dbz analogy. Absolute king. 🔥

I agree with many things. Apart from ur talk on performance. It will enhance performance massively. Yes it will lead to a martial artist to punch harder, take more shots, be more explosive and last a lot longer, if he takes the correct stuff.

Nice vid, deep anaysis

I just did a project on PEDS for my university and this take on Steroids was brilliant.

I'm new to this channel and If I can get a physique similar to yours in a natural way I'm down. Don't care if it takes years I need long term goals in my trainings else I get bored :D Great message I always were against steroids. Wee need more content like this so the new generations of kids wont die from heart failures in their 30's.

un bearable Hor RRible "mu Sickkk" sick!

The people that take steroids are generally really depressed and will be, if they’re not already, headed for a life of even more depression and drug use

And you are a geek

Does this apply to ecdysteroids / turkesterone ?

Thank you. Thank you for just being very clear instead of this weird vague trash that’s in vogue atm

Steroids are a tool and you are just coping, end of story. Your cope is just really funny to me bc i studied that topic to its logical end and its really not that bad. Problem are people who abuse and promote them and people like you. Look at your comments, either uninformed people who use fucking dragonball or anime to argue against PEDs or retards who used them as teens and got all the side effects bc they had no idea what they did. My last point are your points, they range from subjective to to just bad. Tendons arent really a big problem if you do controlled lifts with wet compounds your tendons will be fine problem is when you cut down and use a lot of DHT derivatives. Your whole „functional“ Idea is as said subjective and i dont really care about your points so why bother with that? Just saying that TBol will help your with your „performance“ ;)

It is one of the best exercises for improving shoulder mobility and stability. Thank you for the great video.

you sound so douchy

People associate steroid used with bodybuilding/ power lifting/ strongman But the Olympic games with athletics and other sports have also been littered with abuse useing steroids

Liked for the Goku reference 🙂‍↕️

As lifetime natural i calls most of the takes as complete bs

Yeah let's take the advice of the Brits 🤣🤣🤣

As a younger lifter, I really appreciate this video. I'll be keeping it saved. This video cleared up a lot for me

This is the single best breakdown of steroids, it’s shortfalls and dangers on KZbin. Very well done my friend.

I’m blasting roids no matter what. Idc if it kills me

you sound like a pussy lol your example of the physical downsides of having too much muscle is based off like mr olympias being 275 5% bodyfat dehydrated on stage, but when you realize more than likely most gold medalists most world record holders most UFC fighters the guys who can literally kill you if they want are all on steroids it just proves you wrong

Great video. So glad to see someone speaking up about this. PEDs are for insecure frauds. It's sad watching this become normalized.

i leave a comment for the algorithm, fuck gear

Wtf is he talking about 😅😅

Cant stand fence sitters or literal drug apologists. Both are as bad as each other.

Could you make a video on aquaman. Please go into how you can get a swimmer's physique when you don't have access anywhere to swim. Could you grow and strengthen all the same muscles that swimming does using a gym or a home workout? You could focus on whether weight training or calisthenics is better for getting a swimmer's physique without any swimming and create a workout plan that focuses equally on muscle growth as it does functional strength.

I'm using anti-steroids - and so are you. Since the 1970s test levels have been plummeting in the west (along with obesity and diabetes exploding) and it's not entirely locked down why, but my guess would be microplastics and novel chemicals like BPA (and a million others besides).

How about 15 to 20 reps for 4 sets with little rest. Great resistance training qpproach for slow twitch fibers.

This video is not function just lame . The whole premise of this video ‘ ya steroids will make you stronger and give you bigger muscles but that’s lame because if you dont know how to train keeping mobility and and joint /tendon health in mind then you could just get stronger and more powerful but maybe have tendon issues . What’s lame is your lack of training knowledge or purposely leading people on to a ‘lame’ potential training fitness outcome . There isn’t just one steroid cycle , and for over 60 plus years many athletes in sports from swimming to gymnastics to pretty much every sport have been using not just steroids but growth hormones and other PEDs for pushing the human Performance barrier including improved mobility without compromising health any more than the risk of competition itself . So much that what is lame is assuming you won’t get tendon and mobility issues training natural .

2025, the year of naturals has commenced.

bruce was smart, open minded, worked hard, willing to take on the challenge i see him doing just fine in mma. with at least a 90% win rate in his division. bruce had insane power and eye watering speed.

I agree but at the same time I don't. you make it sound like they are a fast track to mr olympia but most of them who take roids won't get big as you claim everything you said is fine but there are many bodybuilders who can do acrobatics that no other man. you have to balance your program and focus on the balance in body and mind.
