The Truth Behind Natural Bodybuilding (Larry Wheels & Ryan Benson)

[@JosephDarazi]

Problem ain’t with people using steroids, it’s with people selling programs and training ideas acting as if they’re not on gear.

[@TheVanguard333]

10000000000% correct

[@Latinomicz]

This is very true. They're false advertising results which will fool a lot of folks who don't know the difference between natty and not. My general rule at the gym is if a guy has a vein coming out of his thighs, shoulder or belly, pretty good chance he's shooting up 🤣

[@Joll3n89]

Well, it is also a problem when they don't even get to live until 60..

[@louvellie]

You don’t think it’s a problem with both? I think everyone should be saying they are on roids and explain the benefits and risks of them

[@Latinomicz]

@@louvellie Though by doing that, it doesn't sell. It's easier to fool folks that have zero interest in seeking out drugs and believe they can achieve the same look by eating 3 eggs a day and doing X amount of workouts. For me, these body influencers all have the same routine. Get on juice, look good, create some BS plan and sell it to the masses. They WILL fool a decent amount of folks to fill their bank and at the end of the day, that's all that matters to them.

[@ImHerbert-moon]

Nothing like 2 guys who have been on PEDs since young adulthood or earlier talking about natural bodybuilding

[@Marvin-Thomas05]

Was just going to say. The exact same thing 😂😂😂

[@nicholascushing9193]

And???

[@nicholascushing9193]

I'm 38 & hate to be the " back in the day " guy but why are these young guys such haters now like teenage Lil girls

[@nicholascushing9193]

So they've used ped's that means they can't talk about natural bodybuilding?

[@LukaLegend77]

@@nicholascushing9193 maybe he shouldve brought in a natural body builder to talk about the subject instead of 2 roided guys talking on it

Ryan is a cool a$$ dude! It's easy Larry to see why you became close friends with him and eventually go into business with One Gen together. This podcast is going to hit a million subscribers in less than a year. Please always keep Ryan on your podcasts and training collabs, I love his take and personality on things. He's from the old school no bullshit era. Thank's for the awesome insightful info on natural bodybuilding. You two are a great duo! Congrats on your fantastic one of a kind gym. I live only 28 miles away in San Bernardino, I must come over for a day pass and check out the world class equipment and hopefully meet you guys with a hand shake! #Respect #Salute🫡

[@robbyatkins]

This interview was fire and confirmed some confidence in me for starting out skinny. lol But extremely insightful, I'm not even a body builder. Just a curious human, this was a great conversation, y'all have perfect chemistry.

[@NsP164]

Great duo 🔥 should keep these 2 in the podcast as well as bring in guests!

Wow, really enjoyed every second of this chat!! Ryan and Larry, what a fantastic combo 🔥 Can’t wait for more content 👏

I’ve been bodybuilding for 13 years drug free and a ton of people think lm on gear. The struggle.

[@derherr8498]

What? What struggle? Just ignore the fools, their opinions don’t affect you at all?

[@Realityhere-xj9bf]

[@prod.gerero]

@@derherr8498everybody hates fake natties. A lifetime natty with good genetics doesn’t want to be called a liar especially if it’s their job

[@prod.gerero]

@@Realityhere-xj9bf exactly. I’ve met enough elite naturals… guys on gear says natty bodybuilding is pointless but stress the fact that proper nutrition and training is the real key…

[@testerblazer3469]

Glad to be one of the first listeners!

[@RogerRoger151]

Best fitness podcast I’ve ever watched and listened to, very excited for what’s to come next with Larry wheels and his coach. To top this one podcast and the new gym is just extras, couldn’t be more impressed and thankful for the knowledge and wisdom.🙏🏻🥇🐐💯

[@Procharmo]

I started at 17, 1981, 11 stone 5’8”. I’m now 60 years old 16 stone, 200kg bench, life time natural. The physique and strength will come with time. Most of the big boys I’ve known over the years are sick, injured or dead. I’m still pumping all be it with 20 and 30 year old roiders who don’t believe I’m natty. 😂😂😂

[@vfrezy8640]

loving this glad to say one of the first, can see big things happening to this account keep killing it

[@JarstonBrowley]

Thanks for keeping it truthful guys. Not too many juice heads like to tell the truth about it

[@kian.progress]

Please put these on Spotify guys!

[@vn5520]

It’s possible you can be 200LBS plus natural where you’d look bigger because of your structure and look unnatural to most because of the genetics, nowadays unfortunately most take shortcuts but there are some of us still left.

[@TheJoeMB]

The facts been said here at 39:50 need to be on a Billboard.

[@vottonlmvp]

I didn’t know what to expect out of this, but it was actually pretty informative

[@workingdude1workingdude183]

loved this video, glad to see someone saying the truth. Yes guys will get pissed, why? Ego. I comepete in drug free powerlifting, and even in this sport division I would say 50% are juicing. They just dont get caught. They have learned out how to pass the drug test. Then there are the guys who say well I am on TRT for my health. Well guess what, you are still on roids!! Period. You have a huge edge compared to a guy taking nothing. I also agree with what you said about almost all guys in a gym taking juice and its true. These guys dont know how to train, eat or anything properly. Guys ask me all the time if I am on. I just lie and say I put test in with my cereal in the morning. They wont believe that im on nothing. Never have. Been around it my whole life, just never took anything. Found I could hurt myself naturally, which I proved over and over. I am also not against it. I understand the reasoning behind taking it. As a society the get there quick is the mode for most. I tell guys this, learn how to train correctly for you, learn how to eat for you, how to think, how to manage your emotions, how to sleep. All of it, before you ever think about juicing. When you decide to juice get a good doctor who doesnt just say no, because you are going to do it anyway. A good doc who will take blood panels and be honest with you reading what your levels are saying. There are no safe ways to take them but there are safer ways. Be smart. Also if you are going into powerlifting, you weigh 220 and have been training for 5 years and you bench 325 correctly, guess what stay away from the juice. You dont have the genetics to be number 1. Just the truth

[@Jonathan1992]

the best podcast i ever hear about bodybuilding ! ryan and larry are real asf

I love the transparency of the whole podcast, really nice to see the other side

[@cbdremedy7416]

There are lifetime naturals such as Alberto Nunez from 3DMJ (Muscle Journey) and have an impressive physique but you can tell they are natural by how big they can get to a certain point that they never really surpass. Jeff Alberts from 3DMJ is also a natural and is very impressive.

[@eliothecoach]

[@michalpiasek227]

Got to the 11-12 minute mark, when I heard the he’s „natty now” I lost interest. You’ve been running PEDs for years just because you stop at some point doesn’t make you „natty”. You’ve developed muscle using enhancements, you may have lost some of that muscle but you will always be enhanced. Some of that unnatural muscle mass will always stay with you and you will always have it easier regaining the muscle mass compared with never running a cycle. I’m not natural myself, but referring to a botched show from when you were SIXTEEN as a definitive proof natural bodybuilders don’t exist is a pretty damn short sighted conclusion for a mature man. They do exist, as well as organizations running competitions properly testing people but - you guessed it - they look a lot smaller and not very impressive (probably where we agree). But they do exist

[@brianedwards3736]

facts!!!

[@heavyt5489]

100%, the other factor is most people have bodyparts that just dont grow training naturally, steriods change the genetic disposition. A percentage of these gains stay after you come clean and then they have a complete looking physic being natty.

[@davidmacamay7099]

Great podcast

[@Anthony_Agu]

Great video, definitely good stuff here! I do wish there was a bit more talking on the genetic component. There have been several people who have turned pro from the npc that are natural that aren’t in the limelight. Obviously to be an Olympia level competitor you will need to use. Thank you still for the information though!

[@WESTERNBOUNDTV]

There's guys who don't take gear that look way better than guys with mid genetics who are on gear. I'm referring to the average gym rat. As far as olympia level, nobody besides the top 1% genetically gifted people look close to that. I will say though there are definitely people (Mostly african americans and people of west african lineage) that look better than people who are on gear and amatuer or even pro bodybuilders.

[@jadoneholmes397]

On a pro level you have to juice to compete. Thats why I never cared about going pro when I competed but as an amateur you can compete and look great if you can push yourself staying natural. I did tested shows and none tested shows and did very well in both. I feel that my football back ground helped me to have a great look that stood out. Do not listen to these guys saying nobody is natural. It’s a lie to make themselves feel better. I like bodybuilding but that world of folks be trippin big time. Also don’t never base your look off others I didn’t. Prefect your look for you and the benefits from that will amaze the hell out of you believe me.

[@arashdogg]

[@Lambo_567]

8:35 but i didnt take testosteronr and still have gyno so not everybody with gyno did steroids…

[@walterwelling6734]

I never took any PEDs. I was very strong, very muscular, vascular and lean. Was also able to run a marathon well. Never as big as the guys long term on roids though. Not even close. But: I also had disfiguring acne from 13 to 29 years old. Clean diet made it even worse. And an ugly aggressive looking face on top of that. Only alcohol reduced the acne and I developed a problem with it. Many people asked me if I was on gear. Now looking back, many people probably thought I was an ungifted person on steroids. Like there is no halo around you telling you are developed natty even if you are. Maybe I should have taken gear?

[@harshhell4185]

Keep your expectations in check if you are natural. No programme they sell you is going to make you look like them.

[@shaunfury]

Great episode, Larry! I appreciate the insights from you and Ryan Benson. However, I have to respectfully disagree with the statement that there is no such thing as natural bodybuilding. As someone who is dedicated to peaking my physique naturally, I aim to become the face of natural bodybuilding and prove what can be achieved without steroids. To say there is no such thing as natural bodybuilding is to say there is no such thing as Shaun Fury. I will be competing as a natural bodybuilder for the next 8 years, and I’m excited to display the results of my efforts. Keep up the great content!

[@vivificateurveridique1420]

this guy is saying nonsenses and poor ignorant Larry listening to him without saying a word or asking how it works, insulin drive chronic metabolic disease because insulin drives growth,abnormal growth, it's drive vascular smooth muscle growth, that's why you get coronary artery disease, it drives prostate and breast growth, that's why you get breast and prostate cancer because of the insulin. Injecting insulin when it is not medically necessary, especially in individuals who do not have diabetes or insulin deficiency, is not recommended and can potentially lead to complications. Here’s how injecting insulin without medical necessity could theoretically contribute to insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes: Injecting excessive amounts of insulin can lead to chronically elevated insulin levels in the bloodstream. This constant exposure to high insulin levels may over time desensitize cells to insulin’s effects, leading to insulin resistance. We all know that Insulin helps regulate blood sugar levels by promoting glucose uptake into cells. Injecting insulin when blood sugar levels are already normal can disrupt this balance, potentially causing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Prolonged exposure to high insulin levels due to unnecessary injections could potentially contribute to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance occurs when cells become less responsive to insulin’s signals, leading to higher blood sugar levels over time. so good luck to the people who drink what this guy is saying. Personnally i don't encourage you to inject insulin, if you do it, do it under the guidance of a doctor.

[@Nicoletta1994]

My question is : where I can find somebody who can actually help me to get more info and tell me which will be good for me? I did run only 2 cycles of anavar and wanna do my third one . I do blood test but that’s it . Don’t have really nobody to educate me .

[@curiosity8494]

You should have done that research before doing steroids. Try MPMD.

You should've done all your research and pushed yourself to your natural limit before ever considering using gear.
