I am 33 years old now. I started lifting when I was 14 and I was the only guy @ that age in the whole gym. I never saw one person my age @ the gym until I got in my 20s. Teenagers back then did sports (soccer, running, athletics) but no one cared about muscles. I just got into it because I was fat, stiff and slow and no sport seemed to work for me. Even the really big juice heads (and enhanced more of them back at this time) told me to stay away from steroids. I even knew the local roid dealer because he lifted in my gym as well and I was the “baby” of the whole gym community. For no money in the world he would have sold me testosterone or anything else before I would turn 21. Even when I asked him about it when I was in my early twenties, he declined and told me not to ruin my youth. It is crazy how much things changed in the last 20 years.

I'm 32, and over the years I've watched many of my friends turn to steroids, only to regret it. Every time they cycled off, they felt terrible-depressed, unmotivated, and unable to stay consistent with their training or diet. Unless you're making serious money from it and are prepared to handle the mental and physical consequences, it's just not worth it. Stay away from that path.

That’s fine I don’t really understand why you have to stop working out with them because they are on Gear I’m a little confused that doesn’t make any sense to me it’s not like they are Mr. Olympia. If you’re on steroids and you want to get canes from you still have to train 456 times a week in your diet still has to be dialed to make the best out of it steroids are not a replacement for the work they’re simply a supercharger that augments your work what is with this comment it’s driving me nuts

[@TestAccountYT-l]

I look sick after, 3 years of training natural, and 1.5 years of "serious training" + optimizing my diet, training, supplements and everything together almost. And I'm still learning, and learning further and further. I literally just learned about pre- and postworkout. And using that since today. Also learned about tricks of going through the (slight) muscle-building carrier you're going through in the years you train. So I am happy and also think: "You're better looking than how you looked before".

[@MadameLalaurie]

Before watching, I didn't realize what an important video this was to make. I was floored and devastated by the side effects these teenagers are already experiencing... but they have no current plans to stop, because they may be addicted to the highs and I think that they feel trapped in their own narrative. They don't know what it would look like if they stopped using, and the possibilities frighten them, so they have accepted what may be an early grave... thank you for this video.
