[@benjaminedwardfitness]

10 years of watching you my man and while I(we?) appreciate the honesty at present I have to say it feels a little fake. Maybe its the sponsored clinic, the half truths and a few white lies that went along with this story because we all know the behind the scenes of the fitness industry. You were definitely geared up in the beginning and throughout(probably until recently) and I think it would of just been better to come clean about the whole experience and the dark side of that fitness influencer lifestyle for the ultimate respect. In any case thanks for speaking up about men and testosterone in general 🙏 (albeit under some false pretences).

[@Lovewins99]

Yes!

[@jawadbakhshi31]

Yes just unfollow him like the rest of us did if you don’t believe him

[@benjaminedwardfitness]

@adamr305 You think he doesn't owe the public anything? You don't think the millions he made off the back of sponsorships built on lies and false promises to the public/retailers deserve any repercussions? It 100% is the way it is in the industry at the moment but that doesn't mean you just have to accept it. We as fitness enthusiasts might know better with our 10 years of experience now but the average Joe doesn't. They still think they'll look like him when they do his workouts or buy his supplements. Like you probably did at some point. It's not too much to ask for the full truth.

[@chrisgleesonx]

He literally said in the video that when he was competing he didn't like taking a bunch of different compounds. Maybe open your ears. Acting like a female wanting the outright scandal confession. I'll say another thing about Steve too, I met him many years ago at the Arnold in Madrid when I was a young skinny kid who could not look more out of place there and when I went to walk away feeling I'd taken enough of his time Steve made the effort to keep the conversation going and keep chatting. One of the most down to earth guys in one of the fakest industry's. He's one of the few good ones no need to come here shitting on the guy just because you didn't listen.

[@REDRAGON12345]

@@APR702He never said we “deserve” it. Calm down with your white knight defense of Steve. The OP showed appreciation for what Steve has done and said, and suggested what he thought was a better route. Your psychological analysis of what social media has “made us think” is baseless and frankly cringey

Amazing to see a fitness influencer share this side of the journey. Takes a lot of courage and is well appreciated

[@kmannc]

@ustin8870 bingo. They had no interest in doing it while pushing all their sponsored supplements in the early days. This is just the same thing but with the new fitness "trend" of hormone control

[@swoldiernation]

For those asking I was on TRT in 2016. The last year I competed. Where I’m currently at has nothing to do with with taking testosterone. I took testosterone due to lifestyle factors - competing, staying lean for too long, stress. 15 + expos a year for over 10 years. Also hypothyroidism etc not just test

[@JaYLeGnD]

hope you are getting better and feel better Steve all the best

[@JaYLeGnD]

also its good that your test is now in the 300s its within the normal range but on the lower end increasing food could also help :)

[@AceTheGamer]

Hey Steve you heard of semen retention practice?

Thank you for your honesty. People need more honest athletes to stop seeking fantasies from the internet. A public person using the reach of their content to spread positivity and guidance is an incredible initiative.

Good on you for being transparent about what's been weighing on you. That takes guts. I hope you get back to feeling like yourself again. You've always been a great role model for us guys.

[@weissmm]

Bro I have been following you for years as a bodybuilder for 20 of those years, I am now 45 yo. I realize your just coming to the 40's. This was the best video you have put out to help the average 35-60yo. I enjoyed every second and hope you build on this. I went on TRT after finding out I was 200 ng\dl test 3 years ago after not using compounds and extreme dieting and lifting routines for those 20 years. It was the best decision of my life. All the the things the Doc told you (Better mood, Better sleep, Better sex drive ;), Better focus) were all there. I would never look back. Blood panels are critical to the process and peptides do wonders (peptides are the "Sniper" compound to work with your bodies response naturally depending on what your looking at like BPC). Looking forward to new videos.

[@gminors]

It’s interesting how Steve and David laid are both going through similar issues with injuries and mental changes. Love the honesty and authenticity. Keeping it real.

Being honest 10 years later is not authentic idiot

[@Julzstogies]

11 years ago, i was 20. I knew all these guys were on something. I wanted to look like them but always scared of jumping on something. Fast forward to 11 years (now) Im still natural, and still attending gym 4 days a week. Its CRAZYY Seeing all these guys that i used to look up to back then, are now dealing with health issues. Im glad i stayed natural, and true to myself. I never took any form of HGH, or test. EVER. Not a lot of gym goers can say this who have been going to them gym regularly for 11 plus years. NO ONE was open to what they were taking back in the day

[@rishabhjain7690]

You and I are the same. 11 years ago I was 19 and starting out, I saw all these gynshark/shredz/bodyengineer guys and wanted to be like them some day. I stayed natural and now these people are falling out because of their previous steroid use.

[@Julzstogies]

@@rishabhjain7690 Exactly bro. Hahaha Shredz I remember that whole mess. I totally forgot about that company. Same goes for Hodgetwins. They were never natural. They were on test, and we all fell for it. They definitely capitalized on it, made millions, and got out of fitness right before everyone started to jump on juice

[@waterymelon]

this is honestly one of my favorite videos a fitness influencer has ever posted. it's so transparent. we need more of this. please.

[@lilmoney758]

[@enriqulee94]

Praying for you Steve. Thank you for being transparent. Dont be too hard on yourself!

[@darrylhopcutt2166]

Respect Steve for posting this. It shows how most of these “influencers” are chronically run down and what used to be healthy working out has now become the actual opposite. I imagine if you run a thyroid panel on most of these people it would be off and the majority would be on TRT too. Working out is cool and we all should move but there’s a reason why these centenarians aren’t running marathons or have tons of muscle mass. Stress is still stress.

[@stephenmccain]

I was an Olympic gymnast and over training was necessary, but not the best for balance. It has been a journey to recalibrate my life at 49 to optimize for health. Your on the right path brother 👍

I’m glad you’re working on more aspects of your health Steve, I really am. Your OG videos got me into the best shape of my life and motivated me to go after more in life. I’m now in dental school at a top 5 university in the world and working a full time job doing night shifts to pay for my tuition. During the spring I on top of that planned my wedding and renovated our future home from the ground up. This summer I took a well needed vacation for two months and I can’t emphasize enough the importance of giving yourself a break one in a while. I barely pulled through and thanks to the vacation I am now in a much better place and set up for more challenges ahead. All the best and don’t forget to brush your teeth! Skipping out gives you unnecessary inflammation and will contribute to systemic fatigue.

FWIW, normal range is 300-1000 ng/dL, so 400 was in normal range and 1050 is technically high. I've no clue about your specific situation, but I don't want people to think that 400 is unhealthy. I am in the 400 range and I feel great.

[@crowell4training603]

@@misterbeane I am very aware of the levels. You are right, because my urologist stated not everyone is the same and normalcy is different for everyone. This is where my body functions and for some 400 is where they may function.

[@wowitsruss]

Good luck, but I would not want 1050 level. Look up research long term of levels that high. No one naturally has that high level test especially as we age. Ages 30+ perfect range is around 600-800 range for balance

[@ThanosKratos]

@stevecook - I have been your fan since you were a sponsored athlete by Optimum nutrition which is like 10-13 years ago. I never cared if you were enhanced or not. Your personality, energy, knowledge, charisma and humility is what attracted me to you, I was in the best shape of my life when I followed your back to school program and modern physique program. I think you are the pioneer in this so called “ Coming out” event where bodybuilders and athletes are talking about the dark side of this industry. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Great vid. I turned 40 this year and have been experiencing the exact same issues regarding test, energy and overall hormones levels. I do attribute the stress from Covid and environment conditions such as plastic in every part of our lives for a portion of it. Along with good ole Father Time who comes for is all. You’re not alone with these experiences. Majority of my circle of friends are having similar “symptoms”. Lol Thanks again for the vid brutha!

I will try to focus on mobility and overall health, most cases I know what the body needs. But it's hard to break routines. But we all need to do it eventually whilst our bodies changes through out the years. Thanks Steve.

I have a lot of aches and pains that I constantly have to deal with. I know I should be getting deep tissue messages and working on my mobility more.

[@martingonzalez450]

In a way you've been like a mentor to us as well, all the way since Big Man On Campus. I think there's layers of health that we sometimes neglect, just like you said and we tend to lose touch on that. Its not just about the physical and diet, but the mental and spiritual. Keep up the good work Steve, and hope to see more of these!

Awesome video, Steve! I have also been going through some things physically. A lot of it comes down to the fact of how physically inactive I was during Covid and how my job has changed dramatically from being able to make twice what I need to going paycheck to paycheck. I’m finally starting to make smarter moves forward and am realizing that it just isn’t more effort that will help, but a smarter approach to life. I’m all in on these videos, man! Thanks again!

Epic as always! Authentic and very very helpful especially around the blood work. Steve is someone who I’ve watched for over 10 years now and had the pleasure of meeting 2/3 times and this is up there with the best video I’ve seen him produce. I have the exact same injury with tight hip flexors so could relate to the movements but aswell as having some abnormal blood results that are scary for men especially when matching up with symptoms that pull you away from your true identity eg low testosterone. Keep it up champ, true inspiration and the reason I have now started my own KZbin career 💪🏼

I think Steve real quickly at about 10:30 m says he stopped PED's (four kinds of compounds). Which would be great after all these years to finally admit to, but at the same time not as out in the open as really needed. Also, we have moved into a climate where TRT especially is a common thing, so this is just a new form of content now. Years and years of building a business on secrets and now the secret becomes a new venture itself. I like Steve, I think he's a decent guy, but so much falsehood has been dished out to young men for ages from guys who weren't telling the whole truth. I guess better late than never.

[@gerardlewis4634]

He never said he was "natty" though did he? i cant remember him ever saying it.

[@waynea5263]

No, I don't think he has either, but when intelligent people purposely omit it from their instruction and vocabulary it should raise questions. I like Arnold too, decent men here, but again they wait until a business empire is completely built before "coming clean". @@gerardlewis4634

The mobility and adapting to age really spoke to me. Hit 32 this year and for the last few years have had hip/back issues.

Hi Steve, followed you since I was about 12, I’m now 23. Here in the UK it was crazy to me how many people followed you in school and talked about your videos and training etc. You have inspired so many people across the globe, probably more than you know or think of. How crazy is it to think 13 year olds in the UK we’re watching your preps for Olympias against buendia and Sadik. How you didn’t win is still beyond me. My point is, through the years we’ve all seen you grow, I’m now having the same issues you have at 38 and I’m 23. Lethargic, shit workouts no matter how hard I focus, pudgy belly (not that you have that) after being in shape all my life. So as usual, I’m back following you for advice, I can’t afford all the tests and the NHS sucks here no matter what people say. So whatever you go with I will try for me. I trust you, and hope you can get your quality of life back. You’re the man Steve, thanks for the transparency, and ignore idiots saying it’s all cos of steroids, I’ve never taken jack shit and always had high test till recent times, it’s lifestyle related nothing to do with steroids

I got covid a couple years back and my workouts went straight to S###! Keep your head up man and things will get better 🙏

I thought I was the only one. Got Covid a year ago and haven’t been able to gain my muscles back since then. Currently giving myself a break and will come back hopefully able to regain my muscles

@@noepascual3610 sorry to hear that! It's been rough for sure. I've finally started getting back into it thank God. No drs could figure out what was going on with me so I started praying and haven't stopped.

I missed you man! Was worried without your videos. I'm Glad you posted something. You're one of my first inspirations in fitness. I hope you get where you want to be and also Hope to see you on Stage some day with the TROPHY which you always deserved. And I also hope that I meet you someday! 🤞
