Bro stop it.. Nobody's taking your hard work or commitment away from you.. But lets not pretend like you would have built even a third of that amount of muscle without steroids. You're a smart man, you know this.

He’s being truthful. You have to really know how to control/train a muscle and eat accordingly. You have to master the fundamentals, that is concrete. You can either look the best you can or you can kind of look your best. He’s obviously acknowledging that it’s not black/white but he is speaking out on optimizing results

[@Highintensityhealth]

Nice one! I’d personally report 📝 that steroids affects more than just recovery -all my big lifts increased by nearly 500 lbs combined (bench, squat, deadlift) after a 12 week cycle. As a hard gainer, in my 20’s I put on 45 lbs on my first cycle-decca, test, D-Bol-even after five years of solid training as a base. Not promoting gear, as I ended up losing a lot of that mass and strength and took years to regain normal test levels but can see why some folks get hooked and blast and cruise year-round. When your ego gets wrapped up into your size and strength, it’s hard to come off. Thanks for bringing awareness to this topic, Mike

[@blinkshady5504]

For me the question isn't even based on "You take steroids and you get huge without working out", the essence of the question and attack by natural players is that you reach a certain plateau and push it further and further and further and it keeps getting more narrow.. more tiny.. more difficult, etc.. and to reach that next step it will take us 5 years of straight training, hardcore diet, consistency to see 5% progress while if i had jumped on the gear at that time I would get those 5% in 1 cycle....... and BEYOND. That's the essence and not the "You take steroids and afk at home and get big like ronnie coleman" but yea good video. Thumbs Up for discussing it P.S: I do get the other point that certain people have more potential and when taking gear and putting things on an equal level(even tho the type and lab of the steroid matters a lot since the quality of it is also a factor) they can surprass or be better than 99% of the others. However, he would NEVER get on that level if it wasn't for the gear. Many without it would belong to those 99% if there were no steroids at all.

[@alexandrudumitru2435]

Stay natural my friend. No need to bring significant biological changes to your body, especially at 18y.o. Train hard, eat clean, learn how to set up your diet(macros and everything), sleep, rest and be consistent. Lifting natural takes a lot of time to build muscle and genetics have a big play in how much time will take you to see significant results and also in the amount of muscle you can build. At around 25-28 years old, if you really want to switch to the other side then that is the right time to think about it. Remember, taking roids will change your life, you'll have to do alot of things that as a natural you don't have to worry about. My advice personally...i've been doing sports for 5 years and lifting weights for 5 years as well...so a total of 10 years of sports&weights...i don't have the best genetics...probably just a little above average, and i still make progress, got a long way to go till i reach my natural limit. I'm 25 and been thinking myself to jump into the other side...but after spending hundreds of hours learning about steroids...man... for me the risk/reward ratio does not make sense to put my health in such a stress. Natural is hard af but is totally worth it. Don't need to worry about blood work, doseges, roids....tears and all that comes with cyvling steroids. Now...if you wanna compete in bodybuilding then you have to take them...unless you choose to compete in a natural show. Hope i helped you bro.

[@bryanleroy9982]

Its the differance between getting up every morning and pounding a pint of vodka then drinking beer with lunch and dinner for 2 months then spending a month in rehab, as opposed to a glass of wine with dinner a couple times a week and getting drunk on Saturday night a few times a month. The only reason steroids are illegal is because of the way body builders use them and because of the cycles they preach to layman gym goers who dont have the funds access and drs and blood work to not cause permanent damage or death trying to mimic their protocal which even greatly shortens the life spam of the pros who have the knowledge funds and access to have a physician help them get it down to a science. Basically blame asshole pro body builder's for making steroids illegal so that responsibile every day people cant safely and legally have access.

No.. any sport you get people who will "have a day of eat a pizza..." sure you do, including body builders (I seen many eat pizzas and worse) but if you want to get to the TOP of your game, then any sport becomes the hardest because we have 7.5 billion people on this planet so only 1% of that is still multiple millions 75,000,000 that are truely into fitness and of course a percentage of that... so yes you can get crazy results and look nuts if you're genetics allow this..

I believe he's telling the truth as I'm a natural 9 years into training and I'm 240lbs at 5'11 though my bf is 20% . So if he was 270lbs natural his bf was definitely high its very hard to be at that weight and be at a good bf range though not impossible. Especially If your already at a good weight and you steadily gain weight with body fat but just not too much it's possible to get above your goal weight than do a recomp keeping very high protein throughout. When training hard have 5-600 grams carbs , under 100g low fats and have very low carbs under 100g and high fats with protein steady when resting cycling 3 or 4 days low and then go 2 days high doing this will slim off that fat you've gained without compromising muscle loss . I've done this multiple times and never had an issue. Also I am similar to Ben in training we both believe in not going heavy when lifting and focusing more on technique .Also getting 8 hours or more sleep and sufficient recovery days off .Medium weight is best and just adding more reps. Resistance training and giving everything into every set is key . If you feel as you should be adding more weight just add more reps instead and go to failure. If at the end of the night you don't feel a little sore or tension in that body part you just worked out you need to go back to the drawing board as you didn't hit it properly and need to focus more . So yes it is possible through years of committed training and learning what works well for you to gain a decent amount of muscle but knowledge is more important than ego lifting which will ultimately result in constant injury as a natural.

Bro anyone who take steroids are building the best muscles you can't take steroids and be lazy and not working hard because steroids give you the energy and power so dont say that we the naturals are lazy

[@dias3244]

when you say: when we first met you you were trying to downsize your body... you were COMPLETELY NATURAL. Really? The dood was taking a break after years of using the stuff.

[@Ozzy4747]

I heard steroids makes your appetite go crazy - so not missing meals is just a given

It's so hard to admit and face the truth.."it's just for faster recovery he said" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Where as BB is an "sport" that can complement many other real sports, the BBcompetition is not, but is a beauty contest.

Masters at down playing steroid usage

[@ricoflex2562]

This is where I have a problem is where Ben here tries to minimize steroids as if he would have been this size as a natural athlete...he only mentioned 2 things about steroids.... 😂😅😆...they all do this because if they let you know about everything then you'll ask your self 🤔how would you possibly be bigger without steroids... because it's simple everyone not have the same hormonal sex drive so everyone will not hold the same amount of muscle...a lot of these guy make me and other natural athletes look really bad ... because after you really find out the truth about steroids and what it does you'll probably think that it's impossible to be a big person without steroids... we'll it's not true...infact you can actually get pretty big.... I've been working out for almost 12 years I'm 41 ...and I'll give you my secret before your workout eat a lot of beets -water melon's- bananas -and after your work eat carbs like potatoes with beef or fish ...not a lot of chicken...... intense workout 3 or 2 days a week...your welcome 😎💯🇵🇷

Dude is downplaying the effects of steroids so fucking much. Acting like it's only a slight boost in strength and size. I'm also curious about how he was emotionally those 18 months where he had barely any testosterone production. After that long of steroid abuse his body would barely produce any at all.

Can you use steroids as a jump start to gain muscle and just go natural after?

[@Don_Nandrolone]

Once you try steroids forget about natural training

[@meetimian3383]

@@Don_Nandrolone why so??

[@magnum357225]

Ben stop talking kak, because it is well known that steroids take your body way past what you can naturally achieve, all this talk about genetics this and genetics that is crap, only difference is in the cycle you are taking comparing to the other guy. Just look at bodybuilders body after the stop using roids even after 3 months at least 30% of muscle is gone and 10% of fat is regained, as far as power goes depending again on cycle it goes down to 50% lower than on cycle. So stop kidding your self with all this talk
