Is not about the size tho, if you see someone as ripped as him but twice his size he obviously on roids, is you see someone big but not very ripped, he propably natural, but yeah I have went to a lot of different gyms and there is always people on roids.

[@alanshen91420]

You need to see the muscle wether it's swollen, there's lot of different things like is that guy breathe properly ,can he do cardio properly etc, it's not like he's buff then he's on roids , cmon hard work matters the more the better, the better the more (gains) still looking average:think about your diet,your sleep, your testo level, your different type muscle tissue proportion (hard gainer having more slow twitch than fast twitch) etc

[@Mirage2000H]

@@chancilopez12345 Drug testing isn't necessarily 100% correct, especially if the user is "smart". If AAS are used in relatively small doses and if having in mind the half-lives of the tested metabolites, an (ab)user can get away as clean. And there are certain AAS which are more difficult to detect or don't have easily obtainable metabolites for the drug testing labs. For example, just recently have labs been able to detect tbol with more precision, causing a large increase in detections. Not to mention the headroom set by WADA in case of testosterone, since the T/E ratio limit set by WADA gives room to boost one's test levels with exogenous sources.

people talking crap about the first guy and don´t know anything about the human body... this is what u look like with average genetics and low BF thats it, it doesn´t matter that he is training for 8 years, he probably reached his natural limit within 3-5 years... so whats your advice for him getting bigger at this stage of competition? what did he do wrong? tell us all how he can look like a steroidfreak without using them....people need to stfu

[@BEKrustie]

More food, more progressive lifting, I went from 170lbs lean to 215lbs lean in 8 years. it's slow going but it's better than no going, but I also wasn't afraid to be 260+ on a bulk because I know how to diet down. The fact is that you can be, relatively, huge naturally, you're going to get a good amount of fat though bulking unless you're doing a meticulous clean bulk and gaining

If your body fat is lower than 10% and you eat normally it isn't less healthy. Just don't eat junk food, especially made of flour and don't have dinner. Dinner causes adults to become fatter, kids need it only because they have to grow.

[@PermanentHigh]

Yeah, over time people focused nore on being lean and showing veins, instead of just bein in great physical shape

[@oldwitch26]

Well, it’s sort of like, yes. You’re right. Most natty guys diet down too far. Actually most B.B. in general diet down too far to get on stage, ending up flatter than they would have if they had just dieted and dried out for a week and a half before the show. Ideally, you’d get yourself into ketosis, drop what little fat isleft over however long, and then dry out for a few days before the show. Then you carb up right before the show and your muscles go POW and get full again. The problem is most guys can’t tell what’s water and what’s fat, so they try to diet off what’s actually water and lose muscle.

I've been a natural bodybuilder since May of 1979 and I'm telling you if you stick with it and learn as much as you can about training and diet you would be amazed at how much muscle you can build without drugs. At this point I could take any of these guys and help them improve significantly. Yes with over 38 yrs under the iron I'm well qualified to make that statement. Sometimes these guys just don't eat enough and that's why certain body part just won't grow. And for the most part they also train too often. And that's why they won't grow. Not enough carbs and they won't grow not enough protien and they won't grow fats etc you see what I mean. Train less often train harder with more intensity and eat more And stick with it for years and you will grow stay away from alcohol completely and you'll grow. Stay more basic with your training and you'll grow. Focus mostly on your weaknesses and you LL improve them and look better! If you can't really feel a muscle it won't grow. You have to really learn how to feel each rep and do just enough to stimulate growth and no more give yourself anywhere from 2 to 4 days away from the gym after a workout and you'll grow I could go on but you guys get the point be smart about everything take it seriously and you'll grow don't accept what you think are genetic limitations don't put limits on yourself believe in your ability to accomplish anything and you will at least get close to that in the end. What you believe you will achieve I repeat do not put limits on yourself you can do it if you really want to don't fake it either really believe it say to yourself this is going to happen no matter how long it takes. And mean it.!! Fix you diet you can do it improve your training you can and should do it don't this that more is always better only better is better..

My son just turned 18. He's 6'3 at 232 lbs and I've been coaching him since he was 15 years old. He got bit by the iron but by watching me all his life and natural by is what he wants to do...

You know who else is natty Ronnie coleman

[@Chretze]

Rich Peanut butter is my favourite source of natural protein

[@imhidinginturkey3506]

[@arttuleija7867]

7 or 8 years?!

[@samj3978]

honestly i cant stress this enough i have been powerlifting and bodybuilding for 3 years now and i have bigorexia i. this defenetly makes me feel more happy with the way i look

[@dr.arikgreenberg25]

This is really great. I'm glad you are willing to cover more natural bodybuilding. I haven't seen much from you lately on powerlifting. I would love to see you cover some of the newer movement of drug-tested powerlifting, particularly the USPA's newly launched drug-tested division, now about a year and a half old. There are even some great older "masters" lifters in these meets. For instance, keep an eye out for Howard Myers from Orange County, CA, now in his 70s, as an example of a really strong guy who has made strength and health a lifelong lifestyle. Hifon Smith, a guy in his late 40s, also is the national record holder in tested divisions. He's so incredibly strong that it could even make a person wonder how stringent the testing is; and I mean that purely as a compliment to him, and not a slight on either him or the USPA. People like him demonstrate that there is truly a place for natural powerlifting, and that the performance differential between natty and "whatever" is not as great as you'd think. Anyway, keep up the great work.

[@mmamassholepicks2954]

13:00 " He was the winner so we was drug tested very strictly" I really hope you or anyone watching this watches the documentary Icarus.

[@ebofuria]

The black dude hasn't EVER hit leg day. Looks like he had chop sticks for legs

[@killsall7735]

His thighs were good but can work on the calves

[@Chrisxulo]

The calfs bro...

[@2livenoob]

His legs look natural. Videos of enhanced legs are the other way.

[@98kickinit]

asdf asdf legs are small as well he needs a new leg program

[@YasselAlvarez33157]

Some people like myself aren't gifted with legs; while upper body have great potential,

[@thesmartatheist225]

He has very impressive quads and calves

[@JuanReyes-qf4hn]

dude i love this video, please keep posting more natural bodybuilding competitions

[@lifelongfit5997]

This was such a great video. I remember being Natural w my brother as teens back in the 80's starting out Protanning each other. Brings back great memories. Thx NSP! Friend is lookn good.

*This is awesome* 👍👍💪💪

Thanks bro

Filip Černý Miluju když vidím cechy na takovém typu zahraničních videí

[@dottore1107]

The guy that won isn't natural, screw that man.. and not because he looks better, it's the thickness and fullness that's unatural. And doesn't look good remember that

[@biker_marinator5696]

The winner was surely drug-free on stage but there is no way in hell that he built that physique without drugs.just look at his traps and shoulders. It’s naive to think something else.

[@BlakePicton]

so sad man, I wish you had seen some genetic freaks in person. Its possible to be built like that..

[@user-ch5ij5yd2g]

Yuuup

[@BEng-yc4tj]

those traps look huge! But shoulders and traps are only some indicators and not a proof at all! Overall weight and FFMI are way better indicators. Also because some athletes look huge, because they are pretty lean.

[@negrojujeno]

Exactly!! You can stop taking gear way before you get tested, but just because you are not taking before the show doesn't mean he is natural. Nobody is honest anymore

[@negrojujeno]

And to be honest, not even the small guy is completely natural. There is no natural bodybuilding anymore.

[@HaitianWarrior83]

Thank you Nick for representing the natural bodybuilders!!!,

[@foxmoulder4067]

Finally got to see Nick. I did not think you were this young. Keep up the great work man. Great videos!

[@braddingleberry9473]

I'm all natural too.

[@Godzilla-ls9iq]

As a female I find natural so much more attractive! This is the way a man is supposed to look 🖒

[@onelesslonelymemer5863]

Disagree

[@botfollower8341]

seven years??? that made me lose hope

[@Executnr]

Dude was under par for seven years, u can get his body in 2 if u train right.

[@Aykun_]

@Yağmur , başarılar dilerim.

[@tamerofhorses2200]

You can get that body -starting from zero- in a single year of bulking and then cutting. To be honest, that man probably lost a lot of size when dieting down to sub 10% body fat.

[@patootie3529]

@@tamerofhorses2200 Exactly

[@bcgnews8933]

Executnr I am bigger than him in less than 2 not having legs muscles ...my legs are skinny

[@jamesmarshall1425]

Naturals are the true examples of the health & fitness industry. Great video Nick 💪👍

[@Sam_AMG]

This video was inspirational for me as i started training from the age of 17 and I have never in my life taken anything to help me get bigger, no proteins or steroids just train hard and eat. I got married 3 years ago and lost interest in training. I haven't been training now for 3 years and I have lost most of my muscles (still got the shape) Just before watching this video I was looking at some pics of what I used to look like and how I look now.... i had very good shoulders, arms, 6 pack, chest wasn't my best part of the body but I used to train chest more than other body parts and even though it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, it wasn't bad either. For some reason instead of pushing me to go back to the gym I just think " i can't look how I used go, it will take years" I wish I could motivate myself again like before and go back to the gym. Watching your videos do help but when I go home after a long day at work it's like I find excuses not to go gym. It's depressing how much your body can change of you stop training 😔

[@No1downy]

"We're in my office" - in the toilet

[@chrishomer]

RESPECT! Big shout out to all the nattys out there! ✌️

[@rio_agustian_]

Respect man :D i believe that he is natural when i saw his shoulder and traps. And my average calisthenic friends are looks like him. So ... stay away from roids bruh :D

[@on12fire]

That's why I'm kinda proud how small I am in the gym because Im honest to myself, not the wanna be natty but they know they're not

[@mindspace3863]

I once said anyone who wears double ear stuns are hot headed, I take that back. Sorry bro, you're one of the most humble youtubers.

[@NEXIO39]

natural yea right! not that 1 guy hell nooooooo! lmao

[@rapidtreal4612]

that winner is just amazing and not for natty but even for someone who is using roids

[@Love-you-too]

Lifetime natty or not there are some crazy genetics going on here

[@Del1Dub]

He juiced

[@iz7347]

Thank you man. These steroid monsters make me feel so small and now I think I can compete lol

[@jax4217]

The winner of open natural bodybuilding is a beast. His upper body is good but his legs are outstanding.

[@jasonjames6870]

After seeing this makes me think I could do OK in natural bodybuilding if I can get lean. Good to see real nattys showing what is doable.

[@PooooLsharK]

So, ist there any real and reliable testing they do to sort out a fake natty? What's keeping someone from taking steroidds inthe "off season" long before a competion for example? I feel it would be a devestating feeling for any real natty to have some cheater walk on stage and nothing can be done to expose him. I really enjoyed this video and the physiques shown here. Something I can really look up to and aspire to achieve.

[@hopeitstix5052]

Schraibfehler USADA’s testing is the most thorough it is utilized by the UFC. It is accurate enough to find residue from plastics used in IV lines in the blood or in jon jones case, find PED traces from creatine that his coccaine was cut with lol its more of a matter of theres some people you just cant convince that someone passed because theyre actually natural. All youll here is “oh bro those drug tests are so easy to beat”

[@shaqoneill8069]

Hope It Stix Hahahah that's not what happened Jon jons knowingly took steroids and had been doing it most of his career just like his brothers

[@misanthropy6690]

Yeah, no. Drugs do not stay in your system indefinitely and some drugs have ridiculously low half-lives where if the athlete hops off even a week before testing it can be nigh impossible to pin him for something. That's not even considering the fact that steroids losing all their effects once you hop off is a fucking myth now with further research into muscle cell myonucleii and their influence on muscle growth. A dude can juice hard for 3 years, go well past the natty limit, hop off, and basically have his natural genetic limit extended due to the presence of a much greater amount of myonucleii within his tissue. When juicers are caught for using now, they usually aren't even dominating their sport like they used to when much fewer athletes used drugs back in the 60s and 70s. This is a dead giveaway that the rest of the competition is using because of the sheer advantage drugs give an athlete in almost any sport. It takes a special level of ignorance to base their assumptions on the politic-bullshit propaganda federations feed their audience to convince them they're an honest business with rules. I wouldn't be surprised if most organizations protect their star athletes that make them loads of money and arrange for them to "get caught using" when the athlete decides to make a decision that is unfavourable to the best interest of the organization.

[@CeroAshura]

@INDIANS DID 7-ELEVEN usada does testing in "off-season" if you will. They just ring your bell and ask for a sample.

[@bunnymanmoe8819]

+Misanthropy excellent

[@noyezz3690]

14:13 on the right, DO NOT SKIP LEG DAY :D

[@pruxcon3562]

Seing natural bodybuilding it disencourages me cuz i wont take roids :(

[@matheusrotava6903]

This guys are normally a lot bigger bit they have to get lean to the show (wich um my opinion is a atuais thing to do) but dont worry u can get really big natturaly just dont try to get ur bf to low(watch nick video on his body and compare what he looked like before and after decided to compete

[@schmo7777]

Know how ya feel. Years of hard work and a new guy one year of roids twice as big as me 😔

[@matejcevnik7362]

Seeing normal looking people discourages you? Seeing people that dont look like lobster bread rolls and have every health issue known to man discourages you?

[@jackstraughan4385]

Pruxcon I’m with you on this bro.... it’s making me feel like shit.

[@shan4655]

Take SARMS then

[@Palrath1]

2nd dudes back is soooo good that it overshadows his glutes and hams badly, Legs def need work but thats what this sport is all about, IMPROVEMENT

Good Job Nick. Loved this Video. It gives viewers realistic goals in what they can achieve in weight training.
