@@psysports9666exactly. Jesse didn’t fold, he was explicitly told he wasn’t allowed to ask those questions. Sam’s approach is very clearly don’t talk about it ever under any circumstances. Jesse isn’t the only one who has tried to ask him, pretty much everyone has. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s why we haven’t seen Sam on a lot of big podcasts despite his popularity. The dude could be on Joe Rogan tomorrow if he wanted to be but you know Joe would ask about that

[@psysports9666]

​@@ncramz1662 I agree and i think its very deliberate hes does not talk about his steroid use, ever. Steroid usage somewhat contradicts his whole "enlightened lifter" shtick and car talks. Everything he says is still important dont get me wrong, i enjoy his videos, but steroids are a major part in why hes big and maybe he thinks that would hurt his image and bottom line if he would acknowledged that. In reality, at least to me, it does hurt his mr nice guy and gym bro image, because being open about roids and their negatives when you take them is important, otherwise you will impact your mostly young viewer-base negatively, because none of his fans will ever get as big as him without them, but sam is portraying something else differently to younger fans, work as hard as him and you will get big, which just isnt true.

[@Aberrantly]

By far the best video you've made yet. People vastly underestimate just how dangerous steroids can be, how bad of an influence influencers can have, and why it's vital to max out one's true potential before making any potential regrettable decisions.

[@NickSampson777]

Bro I love this video, between 19 and 21 years old I took steroids and it messed up the way I would look at myself so when I got off it was hard because libido immediately shot down, I had to regain my confidence again and get used to being natural and normal. No matter what even if you're taking trt you cannot stay on a cycle that long you have to eventually come off. The psychological affects after you take them will definitely change your perspective. The key is to love yourself, not damage yourself.

[@timmyjohnson1195]

I was on TRT for a year but I did have “valid” reasons. My testosterone was at 215mg. I believe normal range is 264-915. While on it, I really did feel incredible. I also gained mass like crazy(obviously). I ballooned to 215 at 5’11. After being typically in the 184-190 range. But the mood swings affected me and my wife and she hated it. Especially being the one to pin me twice a week. I got off it and last time I got my blood drawn, I was at 450. While not high, it’s definitely not where it was(I still don’t know why I gained 200mg, after being off it for the last 8 months). I will say, though the first 2 to 4 weeks were horrible. My anxiety was heighten, so bad, and I was getting panic attacks at work nonstop. I did feel like my Blood pressure was higher as well, which I HATED that feeling. Now everything is normal but I don’t feel that “crazy rush” I did while on it.

[@NotYourFriend19]

This is such a crazy take on TRT. TRT is literally prescribed as a hormone replacement therapy that is intended to be taken long term, even lifelong. You can come off, but cycling TRT is literally pointless. Cycling test, which is the same drug, but not for the same reason, is what you’re talking about. TRT is for people struggling with T levels… test is for idiots wanting to cycle. TRT is quite literally regarded as a drug that should be used indefinitely lol

Taking steroids at 19 is ridiculous what is wrong with people

[@kamstevens]

The issue is they want to be influencers the second they start lifting. I see so many teenagers at my gym who film their whole workouts and spend more time setting up shots/reviewing film rather than just focusing on getting a great lift. Get big THEN become an influencer. Learn the ropes of bodybuilding and what works best for you, it will give you much better progress in the long run and then you can share your knowledge to others. Nothing in life is instantly given, you’ve got to put in the work

[@JRodizAwesome]

Great Video Jesse. I will tell you a little story of myself. I am 24 years old, I have been training in the gym for 6 years. I started because I was very skinny. 189 cm tall and 70 kg heavy. I didn't see any result for 3 years. It did work, but it was very, very slow. Then I became interested in steroids. I started reading and realized how many negative effects they have on our body, precisely because I had living examples around me. I decided to start educating myself a lot in terms of anatomy and physiology, biochemistry and set myself the goal of achieving a natural physique that is achieved with steroids. Today I am 193 cm tall and weigh 106 kg. Like many people even younger than me, I get asked if I take steroids and that makes me happy, it motivates me to keep training and push my body to the limit purely naturally. People smaller than me in the gym tell me very often (This is the physique I want to achieve). The lesson here is educate yourself. Don't take the short cut (steroids) because the price is very high. Set a goal and push, nothing is impossible

buddy, you're pretty much 14, not 8 years old. You should be mature enough to understand that you shouldn't just blindly listen or wanna be like people because their social media or lifestyle looks cool or whatever. Wait till your 21, by then you will have been lifting for a long time and will be jacked and you wont even want steroids anymore, because most of the people who were on steroids now will likely be dead or off steroids and out of shape.

[@alejandrocortes3341]

also, you just started. Give it time bro you are young your body isnt gonna get as jacked as a 30 year old just because you want it to, it will take years but take it from me as a buff 17 almost 18 year old who started lifting 2 years ago at 15 almost 16, you will be leaps and bounds bigger and in better shape than EVERY SINGLE one of your friends or peers by 18 and from the on you will be in better shape than 99% of the population.

[@fia.bobiaa]

As a female who works out, I don’t do it for a bigger ass or whatever standards today’s society pushes on both women and men. I do it to feel better about my body and stay healthy. When it comes down to it plainly, whether it be power lifting or whatnot, fitness should be to better an individual. Outside and peer pressure should not come into the equation whatsoever. Work out to stay healthy, not to achieve highly over the top aesthetics. People like Sam Sulek worry me because the amount of steroids he’s taking he’d be lucky if he makes it past his 30’s. Thanks for the video Jesse, your content is always golden.

Is steroid considered healthy?

[@simjam1980]

You're turning yourself into a man to feel better about your body? Okaaay.

[@psysports9666]

well maybe when eventually sam will pay the price for his usage, kids will have a wake up call. I dont wish it upon him or anyone else, but hes exploiting it as well, otherwise he would be more open with it and share the negatives as well like more plates more dates for example.

Thank u bro!

Yup

humble btw

[@Dan-rp7il]

I love the fact that people are honest and the only problem with these is that the government makes them illegal, and the harm is done all by the illegal substances. Make them legal and give people a way to take them and to know what they are taking and you will see safer use

[@pothofoxolo-treepaintneint3204]

Noel maan, I love this guy with all my heart.

[@samcerulean1412]

Huge respect for making this video Jesse, the message in this video is really important. I think a lot of people are searching for fulfilment and desire external recognition, but not enough people are actually educated on negatives vs the benefits. So great job.

[@rudenutt]

The frustrating thing for people/newbies is they want to know whats attainable naturally and with everyone lying about their physique it's just discouraging

[@NoScOpzZNeEdeD]

That security around Sam Sulek is crazyyy

[@soluciones11s.a.s81]

is it necessary though?

​@@soluciones11s.a.s81obviously lmao anyone with a functioning brain knows that all the muscles in the world won't stop someone with a weapon

[@soluciones11s.a.s81]

Yea but in that case every influencer on that event should have one. I just did not know that Sam was so high profile compared to Noel (for example)@@anomaly3215

[@chancefluke7833]

Why would someone want to harm him at a fitness expo though

Im 40, but after looking at Sam. I want to risk it all to look like him Im also 5'3, fingers crossed.Thanks jess for bring awareness.

I agree with noel being one of the best influencers, he really is like a dad you never had, taught me how to shave with his videos lol

Yo, just finished watching this vid and gotta say, it's eye-opening AF! 💪 The industry's blowing up, but so are the risks. Props to Jesse for keeping it real and shedding light on this stuff. 🙌 Stay natural, stay safe, y'all! #RealTalk #StayRelentless 🚀✌

I appreciate u!

[@arunrana9887]

Man! it is such a great feeling watching sam everywhere and everyone wanting to talk/meet him, even the big fitness youtubers/influencers. Sam is such a humble guy, he is indeed gonna take reins after Cbum for popularizing the bodybuilding scene.

[@psysports9666]

Not really. But hes better than most other fake natty and manipulative influencers outthere. He could be more open about the reality tho, you cant get as big as him without PEDs but he refuses to talk about it, its weird.

[@ryanhale7904]

Bro mixing his ad with his content is revolutionary

[@JohnWalsh2019]

Yet easily skipable which I did.

So looking forward to this upload!!

9:58 "i think he needs to be himself, he doesn't need to do steroids" me: **what's wrong with her voice" also me: realizes she's on steroids

[@chancefluke7833]

Lol my thoughts exactly

[@jonosterman2878]

I think it’s funny that Jesse thinks everyone believes his little act of “gee, what are these steroids everyone’s talking about? I know nothing about them!” Sure buddy, sure. You can’t convince me that every single fitness influencer, or at least 99% of them, have used or are using. Same shit as the Paul brothers claiming natty. Lies. But this is content for 13yo boys so it is what it is.

[@AS-Stardust]

missing the point

[@EduardoMusasa]

lol, thought the same

[@BeginTheCrusade]

i like how he throws shade at patty lmao "aaaand the ones that 'claim' natural"
