    I watched Dr Mike's video a few days ago. He talked more about the negatives of using gear than anything. I don't feel he was advocating using gear at anytime.

    I don’t see the issue with Mikes video. He gave a decent disclaimer, didn’t glorify it, spoke of the negatives and that most don’t need and shouldnt use them.
    The reality is that tons of guys are already using. I understand the anti-steroid stance but more knowledge about saftey isn’t a bad thing. If the only message is don’t do it, this leads back to guys doing even more harm because of the lack of info.

    • @JonniShreve
      @JonniShreve  25 дней назад +36

      So I should do a video on when its logical to do coke, but as long as I make sure there is a disclaimer and talk about the negative its ok? Weird how we choose what gets a pass.
      The only safe way to do steroids is when you need it and its prescribed by a doctor. Its not an anti steroid stance is a pro make smart decision to live longer stance. plus dude ITS ILLEGAL and MOST of his audience like mine are American.
      So to go full circle regardless of logic or stating the negatives he's saying there is a logical reason to break the law!

It’s weird though that (as far as I know p) there’s no ‘how to take cocaine as safely as possibly’ videos which would be the equivalent of this. It’s a really grey area that both you and dr Mike are covering and I’m not sure that there is a right or a wrong. Ultimately it’s down to personal choice what drugs, if any, people put into themselves.

I am a 47-year-old man who has stayed physically fit through most of my life but I started to lack energy, drive and libido as well as being in a constant state of depression. I had my testosterone levels checked and it came back as 300... I decided to start trt on my own and my quality of life has drastically improved and my physique has slightly improved as well... So my question is since trt is technically steroid use, is that also bad?...should I stop?

    Mike is usually full of a nice info but one thing that really bothers me is that he doesn't see the big picture with longevity. Working in healthcare I have seen what the end looks like. Overall health should be considered when working out. For instance, a lot of bodybuilders think cardio is a waste of time because they are only focused on gains and not health and longevity. Cardio is one of the best things you could do for your health.

Improving your stamina, speed, balance, coordination, and flexibility along with strength and muscle will improve your quality of life substantially more. You'll be able to do far more activities, especially later in life.

    I have no idea what "going pro" looks like financially, but I'd imagine to become seriously wealthy doing bodybuilding you'd need a massive initial investment in the endeavor (which is prohibitively expensive), sponsors & endorsements to compound your initial investment, then dump any dividends from that into production of your own product lines, which is insanely expensive as well. It just doesn't seem feasible to become wealthy from bodybuilding unless you have seed capital to begin with.
    & I'm not talking about $20 & big dreams, I mean several millions of dollars to launch your own product lines of all sorts of bogus fitness products, workout videos, marketing/advertising for protein shakes & pre workout crap, gym apparel, etc.
    Honestly it's easier, if you have that kind of wealth to begin with, to just buy majority shares in something that already makes money & sit on the board of shareholders. Collect passive income. Why destroy yourself with steroids & years of insanity when you can just do what most people who inherit a golden parachute do & collect passive income from "ownership"?
    Really makes no sense to me.

      Or you can inherit business connections, network with other people who had connections & inherited wealth/privilege, boost each other by buying out the local chamber of commerce for a few hundred thousand bucks a year, corner a market by simply being born with more hours per day than the average person, sleep 2 minutes a night & spend the remaining 23 hours 57 minutes of every day "on the grind", whatever that means 😆
      Sure. It doesn't take millions of dollars to be "'competitive" in a world market of quadrillions of dollars. & I've got a bridge in NYC you can buy from me, too.

    I just very easily got down and up without using my hands, and I'm 67 years old. I lift, stretch, pray and meditate, play sports with other people, walk, cycle, and swim. It seems to me that training sleeping and eating well keeps the endocrine system in tune. This can be ruined by exogenous hormones. Why would anyone do that? Lifting is key because the learning and adaptation continues as the body ages. We learn how to scale the training to our condition from day to day through the week, and year to year as we age. Younger people, don't throw this into the trash. Hang in there naturally. Cheers everyone!

Mind you im 33 at this time and while not super jacked im pretty strong for my age , weight and height because ive been running the wendler 531 program for almost 10 years at this point and i know i have a long way to go before i even hit my natural potential so doing roids would not only be unhealthy it would be stupid. So many young guys are looking for cheat codes nowadays instead of just putting in the work.
    Like you pretty much stated in this video , unless a person has top tier genetics and plan on competing there is no reason they should be on gear but so many dudes that only hit their local LA fitness take gear just to feel big and strong at a commercial gym. Good video!!!

      Steroids are completely legal in Canada. You can literally go online and buy them if you so choose. Here's a little snippet for you on the legalities.
      In Canada, anabolic steroids and their derivatives are considered "Controlled
      Substances" and as such it is illegal to manufacture, import, export or sell these substances. Canadian Forces members are not exempt from this legislation and this is
      further reiterated in the Canadian Forces Drug Control Program as outlined in CFAO 19-21. Despite all of the above, using anabolic steroids is not illegal.

    Although "dr" mike has acknowledged that he has quit doing steroids because he wants to preserve his iq, he still hasn't discussed the major contradiction within bodybuilding: gambling with your body and health in order to get more muscular. If you want to build muscle correctly then you have to be healthy or else you're cheating yourself and are more likely to face hardship via injury or loss of bodily functions. I agree that any doctor who so easily allows the use of diabolics (edit: anabolics 😆 excuse the freudian slip) is questionable in their self. A live a let live mentality should not be applied to any type of substance abuse.

    Ideally, nobody is using steroids except for very specific medical issues. Unfortunately, that's not the world we live in. Recreational steroid use is through the roof. Reality is that if everybody followed Mike's criteria, it would go down substantially. You might still disagree with the remnant of users, but at least it would be a smaller group. I really think most people dramatically underestimate the scale of the problem, because many users simply don't look like they use.

      From what I’ve researched and speaking with my doctor, if your test levels are low, then TRT will improve a lot of things and make you healthier. I took it for about a year, and it helped me a lot. You should speak with a medical professional though to make sure it’s right for you.

    • @DarknessTriumphs

      Depends. Legitimate TRT for a legitimate medical reason? Healthy as long as it is being monitored closely.
      Internet "TRT" from these clinics prescribing 200mg per week permanently? Yeah, not too healthy.

    Steriods are illegal in most countries, but in some it's legal to own but not to sell right. So technically if its about the legality then you good to go but it's not, if you want to look big it's not worth it but to compete it might be, but vanity comes into play and men are often insecure about their size.

    There are several reasons not to hop on, the bad outweighs the good. They lower IQ significantly. They can stunt your growth and height if you take them before you’re done growing. They can turn you bald and give you serious acne. They weaken your connective tissues and joints, making it easier to tear muscles or tendons because the muscle growth outgrows tendons at a faster rate on gear. They’re harder on the heart and liver, giving you worse cardiovascular health. The good, you pack on more muscle I guess, some people don’t pack on any noticeable amount when they hop on. If you do have great genetics you maybe could become an IFBB Pro. Doesn’t mean you’ll win first place though.

    I Love Dr Mike's content but this video needed to be made, well don Jonni. The one glaring issue Mike (and others) omits is actual potential. Mike himself doesnt have the genetic potential to be an IFBB pro, let alone a profitable one. So in essence he gambled his health and it didnt pay off. The vast majority of people hopping on gear have unrealistic expectations.

  • @liberationpocket7950

    Idk this video was a little too hard for no reason. Morality shouldn't influence the facts. The fact is, people take steroids to "better themselves." Nobody has the power to change that. But you do have the opportunity to educate the public on how to properly go about steroid use, just like Mike was trying to do. I would rather see someone know all the pros and cons than someone who jumps on because they don't know how to deal with body dysmorphia

That was one point of his for steroids and thats just true, not saying its something thats smart to pursue but some just want to and i dont think anyone except them should decide that. The other point he mentioned was weird imo ill say that, and i would use steroids myself, i wouldnt use anything thats not from my doctor cause i had substance problems in the past. But i think the point of the video in general was that 99% of the people dont fulfill his points to take them and therefore they shouldnt but thats just how i understood the video.

One thing you said here Johnni tho was that you're not close to you're genetic limit in strength and muscle, but i've heard you before saying you're goal is to maintain the muscle mass you have as long as you can.

    10:00 ok but heres the thing: most people dont have genetics like that, and most of the people using gear are just trying to look barely that good.
    Thats why the steroid epidemic is so huge and spreading more and more to average lifters. Everyone wants the body, because the body is a currency. It opens the door to relationships, being treated better by people, better access to śě'x, et cetera.
    Most people, even giving it thier all, will not reach that goal even if they dedicate decades to building a physique. Theyll end up with some half baked, fatter version of Tobey Maguires 2001 spiderman physique, which might have been enough 20 years ago, but doesnt even come close today.
    The people who are using gear to look like CBum are like .01% of the people using gear. Most are using it to look like the physique you take for granted at 21. You are genetically blessed. Youve never had to worry about being genetically inferior, and unable to find a partner. Your perspective is disjointed from what real people have to live with.

    • @JonniShreve
      @JonniShreve  22 дня назад

      Whaaaaaaaaat the whole point of that example of Cbum was showing that even that good, the risk and reward aren't worth it. Because if you aren't that good, doing steroids to become a pro will be USELESS. And again, you are MISSING the point. STEROIDS ARE ILLEGAL. Why do you all keep pushing the goals post just to justify idiotic advice? So to you, if you have bad genetics, you should take illegal drugs???

    • @taylorhillard4868
      @taylorhillard4868 22 дня назад +1

      @@JonniShreve again; my point is that the people doing steroids are not trying to be pro. They are trying to get that big chest, big shoulder "men's fitness" look that automatically comes with perks and benefits. People who look like that are automatically given favor by people of both sexes (re: halo effect) and are seen as more attractive (even butterfaces) meaning it is far easier to court a partner or even have a śļūt-phase with dating apps. Guys that look frumpy, or even skinny guys that are fit but look like most marathoners(no muscle) do not have the automatic śë'x appeal that facilitates those common wants and desires.
      That's my point. You don't know what it's like to not even be considered as human when it comes to dating and relationships because when you were old enough to have to worry about that, you already had an elite physique.
      So to put it bluntly: yes, for the vast majority of people the opinion is "if you don't have good genetics, you need to use stêröïds to even the playing field" because you can't even play the game unless you hit the physique barrier to entry.
