Juiced Up - The Consequences of Steroids: SWOLE Ep. 3

Over the better part of this century, bodybuilders have increased the natural performance of their bodies by using artificial substances. In episode 3 of Swole, we talk to a medical expert about the consequences from the use of anabolic steroids while following the daily routine of Mike Bolkovic, a bodybuilder who’s been injecting testosterone for the past eight years. Mike shares with us how the drug impacted his lifestyle and personal relationships.

Steroids might take you to the "next level," but even the most ardent users recognize there are often debilitating side-effects. Watch the entire SWOLE series here: bit.ly/2sDHwvB

Black KNight is misleading a bunch of people, because he is saying the shutoff is permanent however endocrinologists etc have known ways using amino acid chains ( peptides ) to maintain the system... If you are serious about steroids and human growth hormone you go to an endocrinologist... You don't listen to Bro Science on youtube... There are plenty of people who are on Anabolics and HGH under doctor supervision and won't have any negative side effects... Almost everyone I know who is rich is on some Hormone replacement therapy that is over the age of 50... Most of these guys who have the money go on some Hormone therapy around 40~.. If you are interested in pain killers for Chronic Pain you don't go talk to a Heroin Junkie, LOL! Similarly, if I want Cuban Cigars I don't order them from China LOL! Literally, you can go to the doctor and have a whole freaken stack made out for you customized... You got the money, they got the Juice! The people taking advantage are the Rich, the rest of you poor slobs gotta inject stuff from China, and no doctor supervision... This is what Prohibition gets us.... There is nothing wrong with a 40 year old man getting his hormone levels back to when he was 26 under doctor supervision...

[@ben8013]

A lot of this info is extremely misleading. I love Vice News because they actually have balls but this series on bodybuilding has been really, really bad. I was hoping they would cover this after seeing the first two but now I wish they hadn't. 2-7,000 a month on gear? And he says 2-5,000 is easy to spend? I would like him to math that out for me. Looked like he had about 400 bucks of empties from over the past year. He's not even using human grade gear or HGH. A vial of underground testosterone costs $30-40 if you aren't getting ripped off. A kit of Meditrope, an excellent generic HGH cost 150-250 depending on your circumstances. A kit of Serostim Human Grade HGH costs 750-800 a kit. Saizen (probably the best HGH) is $1,000 a month for a decent dose. If you're doing it right you should actually be using a low dose of testosterone. His high test use is why he experienced so many sides. Also if he's been bodybuilding for 14 years where are the competition photos? He basically just spewed a bunch of used up Rich Piana catch phrases (while dressed head to toe in his merchandise) and gave a bunch of bad "bro" info. He's a poser. A gym rat posing as a real bodybuilder. I may sound like I'm on my high horse about this and it's because I am. I'm literally filming an in depth series with a film crew about this exact topic. We literally had our first filming day last Sunday.

I was a competitive bodybuilder from age 15 to 21. Even then, many of my competitors were using. I could never ever understand why because taking drugs, and exercising and being healthy don't go together. So I stopped competing and got into the fitness industry & became a personal trainer then a Fitness coach for over 30 years to help regular everyday people get more fit and healthy, using strength training cardio inflexibility flexibility regiments. I never use steroids, and I never will. Drug abuse is drug abuse whether it be a bodybuilding & steroid use or heroin or crack addicts. It's really a waste of human life to use steroids and workout. It's the wrong kind of addiction.

I've been on TRT for 1 year under the guidence of my doctor. My initial T was 360 at age 37. Now I am up to about 1200. I do have increased RBC/Hemoglobin because of TRT but I just donate blood and its completely fixed. I also have improved my LDL and HDL cholesterol while being on TRT ( I stopped eating so much sugar.) The gym performance? I was at a peak for my size, age, and diet doing PPL split with extreme dedication to the gym. While on TRT I slacked slightly with my gym schedule due to work and still managed to increase the weight on EVERY single exercise. My Bench PR went up 20lbs with minimal effort. I feel good EVERY DAY because of TRT and if you are over age 30 you should talk to your doctor about TRT. Dont abuse this stuff and DO NOT do it without bloodwork every 3 - 6 months.

His heart and circulatory system is not meant to support that amount of muscle mass. So his heart is working over time just to keep oxygen going through his system.

I'm not an expert or anything by any means, but I think there are just limitations based on your genes and dna. Some people have stronger cardio systems than others. Not sure if you could do cardio and increase the system, I would think it has its limitations. I think it really depends on the individual.

@@jimmybaldwin737 Absolutely not true. Microdosing steroids will cause your T production to shut down just like taking larger doses will. The T levels will then need at least 3-6 months to recover after your mini-cycle so you'll essentially be losing muscle or not gaining anything and you'll also fuck up your cholesterol. You're better off cycling like a normal person. The side effects wont even be that severe as long as you stay under 600 mg a week and avoid cycling for more than 12 wks. Or better yet, just stay natty.
