In exactly 2 months of weightlifting, I hit 175 bench, 205 squat, and 275 deadlift.

You're literally bring it together. I'm not sure if this is some goal of yours, but regardless, I respect it. I'm a natty at 25 who's been training since age 18. Lately I've been finding out I'm one of the only nattys at my gym (that looks like they lift I mean). My own cousin who I been training for three months, who's been making great gains btw, has been thinking hopping on testosterone. I literally witnessed a convo he had with a friend of his at our gym about how to get it. This idiot was telling me he takes t cus his Crohn's disease. Meanwhile he has capped Delts, backne, and doesn't know how to train. He preaches to my cousin to do 5 sets of 30, and only does fluff and pump. My cousin thinks he has bad genetics and possibly low T because he can only rep out a plate on the bench and is skinny. Meanwhile, he's only been lifting since September. This is the current state of young lifters alpha, and it's fucken sad. Sorry for the novel lol

Yeah, this interview really revealed a lot to me and affirmed that I'm definitely on the right path. I never considered doing 'roids bc I never really needed them. I know how much work I still need to put in to get to my goals and build a truly top level physique. Anyways, Geoff raised the point that being on roids is like being trapped. They can never go off bc they'll get significantly smaller if they do. So they have to keep injecting and killing themselves. Being natural, I don't have to worry about any of that. I can just imagine reverting back to a skinny DYEL and man, my mental health would be hell. It's one thing to be skinny, but to go back to that, wow. You can even see someone like Natural Gallant - who's of older age - he maintained a lot of his muscle that he gained when he was young. Roids are the worst thing you can do for bodybuilding. I wonder how all these phenomenal bodybuilders felt when they had to come off & their physiques couldn't even compete with top naturals. Just look at Arnold off-cycle in his movie days. Sorry to compete with you on writing a novel but I just felt this huge drawback to 'roids needs to be called out. Too many ppl think they need to take 'roids when they just need to get (much) smarter at training and be patient. Seven months is a lot of time, but I hope you and your cousin are doing well

@@goatleaks4986 Yeah, I agree. On PEDs, you can get to the point where you're "too big." Staying natural usually won't be a problem and is a lot more attractive, just look at Steve Reeves. And I've had a similar experience to you. Many clothes I used to wear, I can't even wear them anymore. My shoulders fill all my shirts out now and I usually get looks when I'm outside, all thanks to lifting. (They said Steve Reeves would cause car accidents when he walked topless, lol.) I'd recommend ab training if you're struggling with ab definition. I've seen great gains w hanging leg raises(sometimes weighted) drop-setted w knee tucks. It'd also prob be weird admitting to a girl you're on 'roids. Many PED users I see live with shame. It's quite sad seeing how they perceive themselves sometimes. But ppl can avoid all of that by just staying natural and be proud. They truly aren't necessary. And I'll say, you might not look like those in bodybuilding magazines, but you're probably not too far from those in fitness magazines

I have heard many people lie about their bench press over the years. But this is the first time I've ever heard anyone claim that it is lower than it actually is. Geoffrey, the fake 250 bencher snuck off and secretly benched 315 for reps after this video.

Fantastic content. Mad respect to you both. Wanted to add - I'm one of those unlucky one's with love handle fat distribution. Bicep and oblique veins, nice handful size of love handles on the lower back. I'm not competing in any capacity, so I'm just focusing on overall recomp (I am on clinical trt) then going into a nice mass phase this fall/winter.

Random comment for an old video but I do hope you both see this. I just wanna say a huge thankyou especially to you both but also to the budding noble natty community here, for snapping me out of my obsession with staying unsustainably lean induced by my social media inspired body dysmorphia. I am once again after what is now viewed by me as a wasted year or so, eating when I feel hungry instead of when i feel I've "earned" my food, I'm not scared of gaining a bit of body fat now and am determined to fuel my body properly for my workouts and break through this what is now pretty much a 6 month total strength plateau. Most likely arising from eating a bikini girls diet just to maintain abs that nobody but myself really gave a fuck about. Thankyou so much for freeing my mind and body, all of you.
