"Have you ever considered taking Steroids? If so, why did or didn't you decide to?"
This question was asked on IG when Meg Squats came to town! Silent Mike, Mark Bell, and Meg dropped by Untamed Strength to hang out and do a little bit of lifting.

[@hansblitz7770]

Alan was in deep thought throughout this video, contemplating the universe, and steroids, and all the steroids in the universe.

[@Avel_runner]

holy shit dude lol

[@MAGAMAN]

He was just trying to figure out how to answer without calling Mark Bell stupid to his face.

[@hansblitz7770]

***** Maybe, that would've been rude anyway. I like your username and Avatar though.

[@hansblitz7770]

The Undertaker I've seen plenty of people as strong as him that are in fact natural. Alan is strong as fuck, but not elite. If he was juicing, he'd be on elite levels of strength.

[@hansblitz7770]

The Undertaker It's hard to say really. All I know is that his strength levels are totally attainable naturally. He's obviously dedicated and has been for years. So, I'll take his word for it.

[@samharper5881]

Best looking heavy metal band I've ever seen.

[@mojo5093]

lmao :D

[@jhoole1557]

Who's the pretty lady in the the back? The one with the beard not the cap.

[@dgnantes4177]

the one in the cap has a chick friend named "omar fusi"

[@jhoole1557]

John I always thought Jesus was from the middle east.

[@conorverbruggen5133]

That's what they want you to think. You know Buddha was from Seattle.

[@jhoole1557]

Conor Verbruggen I thought everyone knew that.

[@elliottharrison]

It looks like Jesus has been sneaking some barbells into church on the sabbath if you know what Im sayin

[@ness3400]

This is weird, different folks with different opinions and they respect each other and each other's opinions.

[@akacurmurdar1]

I know, right? It's like they're rational human beings, it creeps me out!

[@americanmambi]

Nestor Corvera ya, specially when we got two clowns on the race for President...

[@kingschmoopy6583]

Nestor Corvera Or maybe because they aren't behind a computer screen.

[@shakoustorm8525]

Nestor Corvera on the internet as well. I'm surprised it never broke down completely..

[@mojo5093]

it's totally unnatural

[@pizzaDhut]

Respect for admitting it Mark.

[@QazJer]

This is an old comment, but Mark and his brothers did a documentary about steroids over 10 years ago, so it’s not a secret

[@TravisHLe]

steroidsR4losers How are they selling false hope by telling people that they’re strength is from partly steroids

[@smont4335]

love mark bells honesty

[@joshjohnston7388]

yeah I'm totally not a steroid guy, but it's nice that he's right up front about it.

[@erikbentley9005]

bushbud Alan looks natty to me. His numbers are very high and impressive but I don't think they'd be unobtainable for a natural. Plus his shoulders and traps aren't overly developed (which is a dead giveaway if someone is on steroids).

[@smont4335]

Erik Bentley definitely natty

[@therealjlil]

bushbud you kidding dude

[@lukaku2095]

lad

[@xrtdhoneybeast]

honestly it's just refreshing to see and hear guys just be honest about steroids. it's about time.

[@samharper5881]

Check out Meg's vid with Gracie Vanasse. Very, very candid.

[@sulaiman5789]

XrtdHoneybeast it's about time to not listen to them . And be natural .

[@zander69ify]

agreed... :)

[@Seegie16]

What are you talking about. Only one of them was telling the truth.

[@Highintensityhealth]

XrtdHoneybeast agreed. Great video.

[@DaveLotito]

I love how Mark is so straight up and open about taking steroids, makes me respect him a shit ton more than if he lied like all these other assholes you see on the internet claiming to be "100% natural athletes" Great video guys

[@supertraining06]

It was fun shooting these videos with Mike, Meg and Alan. And my message is always the same with steroids they are a drug, they are illegal and they are dangerous. Put your focus on training smart and working hard and allow yourself time for a lot of natural growth.

[@davefx7949]

Naaaa get jacked, fuck bitches.

[@joshphaneuf9989]

You're an inspiration to a lot of people Mark, myself included. I think the lifting community definitely appreciates your candor.

[@chylochylo3206]

only weak people use steriods fake

[@SW-dg9us]

Yes! Those idiots have the "I want it NOW mentality" at any cost! Problem remains, 90% of these drug addict losers will ultimately have physical failures and NO money so WE as tax payers will have to support their medical expences just to keep them breathing!!

[@SW-dg9us]

[@jonathanbenoza8136]

Silent Mike: "Mine's a little more similar with Meg. I value my femininity"

[@MaestroOfficial]

I love how Mark is open about the subject.

[@Rossbuckle1]

I think Alan's answer was the most take home one, To many people do it to quickly, I am 26 years old, been training 5 years and i have decent strength but I know I have so much more in me naturally and come a time when I feel as if I am close to or at my natural potential that's when I will make a decision weather to take them or not, that to me is the most sensible way weather you want to gain strength or build muscle, always build a big foundation.

[@joshjohnston7388]

man, I'm in my 40s. just started lifting a few years ago. I've progressed so far and made so many gains just working hard and watching my food, and I can tell I'm nowhere near capped out. I'm probably never gonna be a competition athlete, so who cares?

[@joeschmoe6492]

Unless you compete there is no point to do steroids unless you have some sort of ego or other insecurities. If you do compete, prepare to fuck yourself up with roids. I would say don't compete and save your body the health issues.

[@Outland9000]

Well said...

[@lonnycartier.6203]

I'm 44 myself and never touched it. I don't lift 5 on the bench or squat 4 plates anymore. It's more 3 on the bench and 3 max on the squat now. that will change when I'm in my 50's and again in my 60's. 8-) Like others said unless you are in some form of competition you don't need it. Just take your time be determined mix up the routines find what works then mix it up again. All the best to you..

[@deviantan021]

if you're 50 and not considering taking a bit of test... someone said, what, do you hate life?

[@UnknownXV]

I'm so close to benching 225! Fuck Alan said that was weak. :(

[@UnknownXV]

***** I've been at it for about a year seriously. I weigh 140 lbs. My max is around 210 lbs atm.

[@UnknownXV]

***** Thanks, and I don't try my max too often. I'm doing 4x8 for bench, twice a week. So far so good.

[@UnknownXV]

***** Ya. I only weigh 140 lbs so I figure the best bet is to add a bit more muscle first. After that I intend to go down to 3x5 to increase my strength.

[@UnknownXV]

***** Absolutely! I'm focusing on my bench, because my OHP is really strong relatively speaking. A bit imbalanced. My pecs must not be as developed so I'm working on that.

[@Carlos-hr9kg]

He's talking about someone who lifts for years and takes steroids.

[@SilentMike]

sterrrrooiiidddsss

[@redmanc8]

heyy mike !

[@AlanThrall]

You guys put the ST in STeroids. New shirt idea?

[@abelalvarez7698]

bushbud he's a fuck wit!

[@neoncrusader7244]

Amusing and honest responses all around. I don't take steroids, but I agree that they should be legalized so people can be more transparent and use them in a safer manner.

[@raketsteffe]

NeonCrusader I love you

[@neoncrusader7244]

I know. Everybody does. (Must be my tight glutes. Or my ruggedly handsome jawline.)

[@SamGlynn123]

+NeonCrusader I'd say it's the jawline

[@jonnenne]

lol you are clueless +bushbud

[@twhiz92]

bushbud does it make you feel better to imagine them lying to you? Why would they give a shit and feel the need to lie...if you don't think what silent Mike has achieved is attainable naturally you're either incredibly naive or you are making excuses for yourself so you don't have to work hard and put in the time.

[@DARKSIDE64002]

Just take you're multivitamins and say you're prayers kids

God dammit Alan, you're so fucking majestic.

[@Victoriascarn]

I like how Mark is the oldest, and is the only one without a phone.

[@Denmcauliffe]

I love the way you guys are just so straight up and down. Thanks for the honesty, the do's, don'ts and maybes

[@scottbrydle8758]

Maybe this is immature on my part, but I don't want to give anyone any reason to dump on my accomplishments, so I avoid taking any help from anyone of any kind at all costs. If I took steroids and added 50 pounds to my bench, there would be a great big asterisk next to that goal in my mind and in everyone else's. That being said, even with 50 pounds added to my current bench, no one is going to be impressed enough to care either way, but at least I know that everything I have accomplished was done so by struggle and sweat.

[@stupidrainbo]

I guess it depends on your goals. My goal isn't to lift the most weight, but I'm primarily driven by self-defense and not wanting to be so friggin skinny anymore (I'm not being attacked, I'm just afraid it might randomly happen some day). I've considered steroids, but I don't want to do anything illegal... maybe I can get it from a doctor.

[@ribthiefz8283]

@David Finley Because a chicken breast is the same as injecting TREN into your veins.

[@OSUHARDING1ATECHNICEXPERIENCE]

I would take them but I don't know where to get them and I'd have some serious trust issues with buying something from some bro science guy at the gym.

[@jimbowimbo3796]

OSUHARDING1 - A TECHNIC EXPERIENCE Me too

[@Burneeey]

OSUHARDING1 - A TECHNIC EXPERIENCE go on Eroids bro. there's a list of website & people post their reviews. It's legit

[@powerliftingteen8129]

Deep web is your friend

[@Rushman666]

Burneeey what do u do lol, type steroids for sale on Google

[@Burneeey]

David Rush Na bro you would get scammed doing that. Eroids is a legit safe. Millions buy their gear from those sites on there. I bought multiple times and those sites are good. It ships to your house discreet

[@TheNonya1]

Hey, the real talk is greatly appreciated. Too many people refuse to discuss it in a open forum and the conversation needs to be had. Fantastic video.

[@jasong2546]

Honestly when someone just comes forward and say I use steroids I think you'll find nobody minds /cares etc. it's when someone who uses says they don't I get severely annoyed and I think others do to. nothing but respect for Mr. Bell's honesty.

[@nicoaustin5595]

Alan's just dying inside when meg claims that she's natural.

[@tjcogger1974]

Why do you think she's not natural?

[@03blaird]

My thought process is that unless you have a LEGIT chance to get into one of the big sports leagues (NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB) steroids are pointless. It makes sense that pro athletes use steroids because big money is on the line. But if your just some recreational lifter, or your sport doesn't pay well, wtf is the point? The risk/reward ratio isn't worth it unless you legit have the potential to make real money.

[@Kezpool]

03blaird I guess mark bell is earning good money and he isn't in a particular sport really

[@karimk8551]

don't you wanna look BIG and MASSIVE in front of all of your friends?

[@wolfspritzer9253]

there isn't just one risk/reward ratio, it obviously varies depending on compounds and dosage.

[@jakegrace108]

awesome vid. We need more people talking openly honestly like these guys and gals about why/why not. Sheds more light on important topic that most of us are in the dark about. .

[@WafiKhanjerMusic]

When Alan's hair is better than the girl's

[@KAS470]

Fuckin oath hahaha

[@JonStossel]

Alan Thrall has the best intro of any KZbin fitness channel, facts.

[@hardcorebarbell]

JonStossel George leeman used to have the best outro. *fact*

[@nytroxnikko1532]

true. toilet seat visual is hilarious.

[@RomeyB]

At least Mark Bell is honest. I believe in letting nature play its course. Just lift heavy and eat whole foods and you'll get where you want to be.

[@kblkbl]

Well, after a quite famous documentary it'd be hard not to be. xd

[@brandonwhitfield1278]

Unless where you want to be is at the top. In which case the comment doesn't apply.

[@murf442]

It's great to here people be honest about this subject. Keep it up! Mark and Alan talk straight up. Plus their individual videos can help any body get stronger, even a middle aged dirt bike rider like me.

[@Caffeine_And_Seawater]

Massive respect for the honest answers. It's good to see and honest and unbiased talk on them

[@C2FUX]

for me I won't take them because , I feel a sense of accomplishment in being natty , for me it feels like cheating myself , no hate for those who do though , love these type of vids alan : )

[@yeetfeet1878]

Same here. I want to see my body’s full potential. I agree with Alan I know what I am capable of and I want to see myself get there.

[@bostoys]

4:59 is a pretty shot. 1 Steroid user looks stage left, 3 nattys look stage right. smelly bell is so alone........

[@bobchap7893]

It's becasue he knows mike's a lying

[@misevibre]

hehe...I still think he is natty

[@liam8519]

Ben Scott meg is lieing

[@mikaels71]

Meg and mike are on gear. Pretty obvious, they just can't afford to admit it yet.

[@holyhero6380]

Ben Scott u even hear Alan saying "u fucking liar" after saying he doesn't take roids... also u can see mike with a distraught face when is saying he is natty

[@rhsandne71]

I really appreciate Mark's honesty on the topic. I'd love to see more educational content on steroid use and the in's and out's with his experience!!

[@mrmonkeykow]

Mark could you recommend specific drugs for someone looking to hop on gear, first cycle

[@PlutoTheGod]

lol Alan underestimating the power of gear..

[@TheDReturns]

Lol brb just adding a plate to my bench. What a joke

[@bobfuqyumarley3082]

i know right xD if you take the right shit on a blast, eat and train like they do you'll gain 50 lbs on your bench in a month

[@TheDReturns]

[@vrg9009]

personnaly i would love to take steroids but I dont know how to use them properly so i shit in my pants concerning sides effects

[@ritchiedrama7]

Just make sure you do proper research and you can make an informed decision :)

[@SKH9]

VRG Do as much research as possible, talk to people who has used them for a long time and also before you do use them make sure you check your cholesterol, blood pressure and general health.

[@MagicMaus29]

So it prevents you from taking drugs... good!

[@benmercer2426]

VRG if you do your research you'll know you absolutely can take them safely

[@SKH9]

Realistically everything has a side effect at the end of the day it's still a drug that does not get tested as it is illegal. Here in UK steroids are a class C drug meaning you can take them for personal usage but it's still a crime to sell them. It's really easy to get them here but again you don't know what's really in the bottle or pill.

[@zoranpetrovski3514]

So damn refreshing to hear youtube lifters be honest about their personal history/views on steroid use, massive props to you all!

[@grahamcoghlan858]

Mark with the honesty! We need more honesty about this topic in the industry

[@charlesnicolas6845]

What's up with the "you fucking liar" at 5:02?

[@n0M4c]

A joke?

[@Imsoogood7777]

maybe a secret he knows...

[@xbandosx1]

did anyone hear alan thrall say "you f*** liar" when silent mike was talking or was it just me? :D. time: 5:00

[@Dmoriarty1993]

Definitely.

[@TayLybb]

Not too quiet either

[@mustang8206]

Everyone heard it

[@mga304]

I like the honest approach to STDS topic . I love watching this channel keep up the good work live strong..

[@Kowalskiboom90]

It is great to hear people openly talking about steroids and not bashing one another for taking or not taking it. You guys are an inspiration. As athletes as well as individual persons. Thank you guys so much!

[@Varone26]

Your lifts are meaningless if you can't grow a beard like Alan.

[@lucioinnocenzo2328]

A.S.V his beard sucks. It could be awesome if he trimmed it cutting off the ends but he doesn’t

[@ricktyricktywrecked5777]

[@bigjayfitness]

hes always open about it

[@resistance156]

He's definitely not.

[@Alex6969M]

Never heard him say straight up "HEY I STILL TAKE STEROIDS", especially after watching his brothers movie where he talks about quitting.

Muuuch respect to Mark Bell. Finally somebody open and honest! Seriously, kudos!

[@Mazin9]

they look like a HEAVY METAL BAND LOL.

[@Halfpasttime]

I don't take steroids because first, as they say, it's illegal so you can't really know what you're taking and secondly, I think that I love the process more than the results so I don't think I would enjoy lifting more with steroids than without, so for me it's useless. But again, I agree with the fact that they should legalize them and more importantly control them so people don't take some shit they know nothing about.

[@hugginsfamilybullys6962]

super dope video I love the transparency

[@samuelmeredith2830]

Such a breath of fresh air that not only does Mark Bell say he juices, but also fucking loves it. Looks like I'll be subscribing to supertraining06 now.

[@S34Ninc]

I'm really intrigued by the "you fucking liar" by you after silent Mike said "not that it's ridin off". Were you implying that you didn't believe he was natural after saying that. What did you mean by saying that? I really wanna know. I always thought silent mike was natty.

[@mijothy1456]

most likely a joke (saying that mike really wants to try em even though he said that he doesn't really want them right now)

[@JustGresh]

He didn't laugh or smile though. Didn't seem like a joke, seems like a pretty serious statement.

[@andrewbarone6575]

He could just be an anxious sonofabitch but I don't really know much about him. I'm just putting the view out there.

[@kj22697]

I was thinking the same thing, it was like alan stopped himself. weird....

[@CAHOP2401]

I've been training a long time and like any guy who trains, I've thought about taking steroids. At this point in my life, IMO the risks don't justify the rewards. I'm decently strong right now and feel like I have a lot more room to get stronger. I wouldn't recommend younger guys taking them (anyone under 40) and just train your ass off. However, when I get older and my natural testosterone levels start to drop I will DEFINITELY consider taking them.

[@abraxis20]

In my mid fifties and may go on trt at some point, should i feel it's necessary. i have tried a sarm on a few occasions though (RAD-140)

[@DarkSideDenmark]

Loved the brutal honesty of Mark. I'm gonna go subscribe to his channel now, just because of that.

[@Terrythetroll.]

I like mark a whole lot more for his honesty. respect.

[@KSizbored4life]

this is the youngest brother from Bigger Stronger Faster right?

[@TonyMon16]

wow i learnd alot from thsi video.. and dont mean from what they said.. i mean look at the faces and body language of the other 3 as one talks we see 4 very different OUT LOOKS here, I can see as one talks the other 3 are having a very hard time not to say "YOU WRONG!!!!!!!!!!". Instead i see nervous laughter( humor can hide irritation), nervous itching ( a way to stop yourself saying something), shifty eyes ( a sign of impatience ie they hearing something that irks them). meg has judged mark bell or more likely she shocked he so honest ( her body language tended both ways but i think its more likely she shocked he so honest, something she and mike could NEVER do) Alan quite literally has too cover his mouth to stop him making judgement when meg was talking rofl.. no idea what his judgement was of meg but he was making some. could be he thinks her knowledge is poor or more likely I think meg was lying to us. She has tried steroids, i think alan was responding to the deceit subconsciously. just a snippet of what their body langauge showed me. There were times when mark showed irritation to meg ( but quickly regained his patience)he genuinely respected others decision not to do roids or lie about it( from his body langauge). Silent mike body language says he dont wanna be here talking about this shit hes closed of and absent minded. This could be cause he fancies MEG and cant deal with that feeling or its a sign hes hiding something from us and realizes this whole thing is pointless s he aint gonna tell us truth.. Mark was more forgiving of that deceit. Alan seems really annoyed at the deciet. The fact ALAN wrote her name in all caps, is very telling, everyone else name is regular . This shows he noticed something different about meg ( not just that she a woman) Look at meg when alan talks, her body langauge is now contradicting everything she just said, she is really irked and butt hurt that alan is basically saying he hates steroids and thinsk they cheating yourself. Meg takes anavar every now and again its clear to me now. Silent mike....... marks face just told me he was lying ( his face went from relaxed to serious, and very anxious a sign of anger that little chest itch he did was him telling himself to calm down and forgive.. its his life).. . Him saying "i am like meg " , means he has an image of full natty brah that he needs to maintain for his business, but realizes steroids give hims such an edge its stupid not to do it.

[@thegeneralleelafleur]

Refreshing. Cool to hear everyone's thoughts on it.

[@MrTbonezach14]

When is the next weight lifting program coming out Allan? I loved the intermediate programmed and gained so much from it. Will there be an advanced?

[@chrisgarcia1771]

with mark on this

[@TundraBoy]

4:54 I would why Alan called him a liar after that 🤔

[@Mulletman5000]

Great video man and I've always thought that .. I was gonna this year but decided to focus on a diet first and I've never been happier I won't be crossing it off like mike said but for now I'm happy with the gains I'm making

[@conanthedestroyer7123]

0:41 That moment when everyone went HOLY MOSES this is epic - Much respect given all at once to Mark!!!

[@taipeitaiwan10]

Love their honesty! Let people choose what is best for themselves.

[@Seegie16]

what honesty? only mark was honest.

[@Manettvibrante]

allan thrall said he was on steroids when he was with the powercast...wtf there?

[@taipeitaiwan10]

I have no idea who these people are but looking at body types in vids there is only one guy on steroids. Are these youtube fitness people?

[@Seegie16]

taipeitaiwan10 Really because ive seen everybody type imaginable on steroids. Let me tell you girls never get the physique of meg naturally. She is to hard and to strong. Alan could be natty at the moment. And Mike went from scrawny to beast and super strong out of nowhere.

[@kamacazi8]

If you want to sacrifice your organs among other things for a temporary look or strength.. That should be to the individual. I for one though would rather be healthy.. call me crazy but I workout for health

[@camboyrdee]

kamacazi8 you look kind of fucking fat in your profile pic. Call me crazy, but that doesn't look too healthy

[@severussnape5978]

umm maybe because i dont know where to get them?

[@seymorebutts2478]

Great video. Good to hear people being real about steroids. Also first time I've ever seen "Meg". Liked, subscribed, stalked her page .

[@kolecarterbenches]

To each their own. I made a choice to be a natty old dude when I started lifting at 51. I have no reason to take them, hell I am 55 years old. I figure I will just work harder and get there on my own. I love to compete against people who do take them. I choose not to but am determined to get as strong as I can get on my protein shakes and hard work. I would much prefer honest to BS. My 2 cents. LOL!!!

[@catosicarius9047]

Youre one weird old man lol

[@thohangst]

100%. At the risk of being that guy, let me put it as kindly as possible. If you're juicing, you are fake, and you look fantastic. Well, except to the gals, who tend to not like bovinity in their fellas.

[@kolecarterbenches]

@@thohangst that post is from 5 years ago! I am 60 years old now. I did 841lbs with a slingshot at my last meet. I was a natty until about 8 months ago when my doctor insisted that I start trt due to my testosterone level being 135 and detrimental to my health. How it runs in the 400 range and I don't fall asleep driving and writing anymore. Bad for your organs to have such a low testosterone level, so now i am on doctor prescribed testosterone to get me normal. That is all I am on.

[@DarthPyrusTheVirus]

I'd like to keep my hair and my natural T production for as long as possible. I'm not going to even risk losing those attributes for a 30-50 pound gain that will take me longer to reach, but I'll reach it eventually.

[@L33TTechReviewer]

you won't naturally get as big as you could get with steroids no matter what anyone says.

[@DarthPyrusTheVirus]

L33TTechReviewer I'm not trying to reach unnatural heights, though.

[@L33TTechReviewer]

Lesnarsaurus Rex in that case keep at it naturally you shouldn't take steroids unless you're already at your genetic potential or for reasons like TRT in my opinion. Like you mentioned those and other side effects really aren't worth it for the great majority of people. I don't think it should be illegal but think it definitely has forever changed the great majority of sports.

[@peterl.1574]

Respect. And you will keep more of your gains especially with heavy lifting. Fibres thicken up and do not fade away as much compared with pump and fluff training.

[@thispersonsdad7247]

The guy in your profile picture is juiced as an orange

[@jj6082]

Thanks for the honesty. It should be legalized and monitored by healthcare professionals to keep the people who are going to use it anyway safe.

lmao why is mike staring like that at 3:32

[@Davido50]

Gino Estrada cause he wants to say thats why u weak fuks are so fuken skinny. Be swole he thinks!

[@MaRaX93]

Good on the first dude being honest. Alan's answer isn't as honest though, severely underplaying the effects of anabolic steroids would have. Also no one mentions the obvious, steroids will fuck up your health.

[@angrytom1923]

Very candid. Not the answers I thought I was going to get. Kinda refreshing.

[@pinecone4610]

Dude I can’t stop looking at Alan, that hair and beard combo is absolutely majestic

[@zacharywhite4755]

Silent mike, why u ly'n

[@schroederluck7984]

Severely downplaying the effectiveness of AAS here. Alan, taking roids would take you much further than a 45 pound increase on your bench. Most people experience a lean mass gain of 10-20 pounds on their first cycle, and that's just using around 500mg of test and maybe some dbol. You'd probably be benching closer to 405 after your first cycle. And Mike is like "it doesn't help me achieve my goals" when he said that his goals were "lifting" hahahaha in what world does that make any logical sense?

[@gregk3543]

hes already on them the mike guy hahahaha

[@battletv777]

yah all lucky such a great bloke Mark to push you all along.

[@bearfcker5]

Marks honesty here is pretty respectable. Too many instagram and you tube fitness "icons" who are bull shitting the ignorant new comers out there. Learn for yourself. Do your own research. Don't buy into the gimmicks and have fun with the process

[@Ddarke11]

"Why don't you take steroids?" "Don't want a peepee" Well alrighty then.

[@alphadarkocharlie9312]

not always. far from it. its just a saying to rest people be assured that everything in life is balanced and fair. but if you live a little you know that aint the case. far from it.

[@darkmath100]

Alpha Darko Charlie I was talking about Mark Bell taking steroids since he was 25.

[@alphadarkocharlie9312]

darkmath100 so? many take steroids since 18yrs old and? abuse is bad, use is not

[@darkmath100]

Alpha Darko Charlie That's like saying abusing crack is bad but recreational use is not. ;-)

[@alphadarkocharlie9312]

darkmath100 are you equating use of hormones to crack? i guess you dont know much then

[@cptnjarhead1]

Had many opportunities back in the day to take them, many other guys i knew were and they all said how much better their recovery was not just strength or mass gains. I worried about my body not producing its own natural testosterone so i was too afraid to take them. Nice to see an honest talk about them. Semper Fi

[@stangtrax]

GREAT VIDEO and I respect the honesty on this topic. I actually agree with all of them. Nothing regulated so I would not know what I'm putting in my body so I personally don't use anything at all, not even GNC crap. if stuff could be legal, regulated and labeled then great. Each person should have there on freedom of choice to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't harm others. I look up to Thrall and Rippetoe to show me correct ways to try to prevent injury. I'm older than most to start really working out at 41. Thanks

[@heftygainz]

Love videos like this where people are just open. Who the hell cares if people use them or not but man im sick of the fake natty bullshit. Just be open about it. Think that's why i like Mark so much.......could also be his smell

[@surelock3221]

tfw some guy says he's natty but has gyno, even though he's only like 120lb

[@jamief123]

I've had gyno since puberty and I'm 100% natty.

[@matthewbriggs3206]

"I'm don't want to write off anything. That's why I'm not going to write off meth......someday I might dabble in it." Jk Mike! You're awesome!

[@bradmason1846]

Subbed to mark love the pure honesty

[@aznpowahhhh11]

Awesome how open this is

[@Brickinasock]

They should definitely make the use and possession of steroids legal. Wouldn't want big pharma to be selling them to anybody and everybody though.

[@nonyobussiness3440]

Brickinasock I would.

[@markteelii1479]

Exactly. Even for the masses who don't approve of the use of those substances, regulation is better than prohibition 9/10 times. Human nature, history, etc. all agree with that.

[@TypeZeroB303Debirufi]

I don't need steroids when I can eat a lot of high cholesterol foods to give me steroids.

[@wolger]

Kurogane Ikki half a dozen of whole eggs a day here baby..lol

[@alphadarkocharlie9312]

haha not even close to being the same, but ok

[@jabberwock14]

I'm glad this video exists.

[@FraserMacDonald99]

My sister wants to know that if she takes moderate doses of gear and mainly sticks to avavar like Meg does, will she start to develop manly features and jawline similar to Meg's? Thanks.

[@eliaslift6953]

Not unless she takes bunk gear.

[@Davido50]

Fraser MacDonald yup. Meg has a 1in clitiris that she likes sucked hard! I dont mind.

[@eliaslift6953]

If she only takes Anavar and not dbol being faked then no she won't.
