What's good guys. Let me know below in the comments if you have any questions on my experience, I'll answer what I can. Again, I don't advocate for either state of training and only want to use this channel to share my experience as raw as possible.
Thanks for watching and see you guys next week!
HEY merk I've been watching your journey for like 3 years and I've seen gains . Thanks man also I dm'd you on gram 😅
You’re still the 🐐 of bodybuilding brother!
Respect the honesty bro! 💪🏽✊🏽
@justmerkchannel you already was a beast natural!!! 👑
unsubcribed immediately
Respect the honesty man, no one truly cares if someone is enhanced or natural it's the lies in the industry that annoy viewers.
I feel you man, thanks for listening
Your comment is spot on
Exactly bro i unfollowed so many liars simply cause of that, rather be truthful with the followers
I agree with this. Viewers will watch these videos, expecting to get the same “peak” physique, not knowing that there are so many other factors for a lot of bodybuilders, including “enhancements” for some. I think being honest helps people be realistic about their own journey.
Lies?
For a guy that trained naturally for few years and learn all the basic about bodybuilding and then jump to PED and compete and being HONEST about it at the same time is enough for viewers!! This is an perfect example other fitness influencer should take note. GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER!!
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video. God bless you as well man.🤝
*Honestly… I don’t respect it all. The dude only worked out for 5 years before going enhanced. He’s the typical gym bro who knew nothing about drugs, spoke to a (apparently expert) “coach,” then took the amateur plunge onto drugs. On top of that… he won’t even reveal his cycle. Basically just like everyone else is doing.* 🤦👎😴
@@JustMerkChannel ARE YOU GOING BACK ALL NATURAL?
@@strongestnattyever-videos2247 Training more than 15 years already ... and only began thinking about PEDs at 36 years old... that guy is way too young for PEDs. But that's up to him. He's competing. So, waiting till 30 or 40 won't allow becoming professional with or without PEDs
@@8000860this is not your time anymore...you didn't have access/influence to drugs until you were older. If you were 25 nowadays im pretty sure you would be blasting...
Crazy 6 years ago we worked fast food together. My favorite video of yours. Your followers really don’t know how genuine and authentic of a dude you really are. Extremely conscientious, compassionate, and intelligent.
You’ve been thoughtfully planning and working your ass off in everything you do for years and years, man. Extremely disciplined and dedicated.
You deserve all the success you’ve had and continue to have. Wish we had talked more but I was actually dealing with depression from body dysmorphic disorder back then. You’ve been a huge inspiration for myself to begin my own training. I’m about 5 years in now and I’ve accomplished more than I ever could have imagined-with my physical and mental well being, and life in general.
That kindness you always show-not to just myself, but to others-it doesn’t go unnoticed or unappreciated.
Your body of work and what you accomplished naturally inspires myself and definitely many others to stay natty as well. There’s so much to achieve, and you exemplified that everyday for years.
Above all, I am happy that you are doing what makes you happy. All love man and support as usual

Powerful to keep it honest bro, a true g. Keep pushin bro! Thanks for your authenticity all these years
Always brother, thanks for taking the time to listen🤝
Holy crap man. The respect I have for Merk is ten fold now. Appreciate you being so transparent with us man. Ready for the merch to come in! 🔥
Likewise man, this march has been a long time coming!
He was NEVER natural. He was too skinny to jump up as fast as he did. These dudes lie like it is an olympic sport, and you fanboys believe them. The worship is so real…or people who are doing nothing that has ANYTHING to do with talent. You can get big too. Just take Tren..and you can have a channel, too. It takes no talent, just a willingness to RUIN your health in the future.

Honestly bro as my biggest gym inspiration the honesty is the best part. the transparency allows us to also guide ourselves based on what we see and learn from you. Always gonna support 🦍🚀
Bro, we aint even trippin' off that. Your channel is inspiring, your physique is inspiring, and your diet is inspiring. We learned a lot. And thats all that matters fr.
We appreciate the transparency brother! Nothing takes away from the hard work you’ve done inside & outside of the gym
Appreciate you man🤝
This is what the fitness industry needs - open transparency! Fan of yours Michael before and after this, genuinely appreciate you being honest about this. There are so many fakes out there (we all know they are juicing but they still claim they are natural due to the monetary self interest) but your honesty is truly appreciated! Stay safe and healthy dude! 💪
Merk I have nothing but love and respect for you! Being honest and transparent is the best way to connect with us. I look up to you, for the standards, consistency and discipline you share on your channel. Whatever content YOU decide to put out going forward, I’m in full support of it! Much love and prayers to ya! 💪🏾🙏🏾💯
Thanks you brother, your support is why I'm able to put these videos out. Have a blessed day🤝
Big respect for the honesty, my respect for you went up so hard after this video and your physique is still a big inspiration for all of us!!
You’ve always been transparent with us from the beginning and I appreciate you. You put a lot of hard work in and that always show’s regardless of anything. This was a great video man and I pray you have the best year bro. Much love🙏🏾
Thank you for the support fr brother. Hope your year is off to a great start and have a blessed day🤝
Thanks for keeping it real. You motivate me to workout and get in the gym! Love watching your videos bro
The realest guy in the industry, been following your journey for years! big love from the uk👊🏽
Hey justMerk, I am a big fan; and I am so grateful that you share your experience here with us. I grew up in Egypt, and I used to do bodybuilding in Egypt. I immigrated to the U.S. watching lots of people doing deadlifts, and I started doing deadlifts on my own that ended with a lower back’s and “Sports Hernia’s” injury due to improper form.
To rehab my injuries, I have worked out for a year with “Starting Strength” company in Dallas training the Big Fours - Squat, Press, Bench, and Deadlift. Then, I developed a shoulder’s injury -AC joint due to the lack of training the back muscles. Moreover, I have taken supplements for a year, and my blood test recently showed an unhealthy kidney function.
Nowadays, I am rehabbing my above-mentioned injuries that leaves me no extra time to work out, and I would appreciate if you provide me your insights on these questions:
1) what are the best kidney and liver supplements that can assist me to train and consume my supplements without issues?
2) what’s your opinion about the Big Fours vs. bodybuilding a full physique?
3) My PRs are: 395 deadlift, 325 squat, 180 press, 225 bench; and I gained 10 pound bulking; so every how long should I alternate between cutting and bulking?
4) I am not satisfied with my core area where I have a tear in my lower ab as a part of my injury; so do you believe in weighted abs training besides cardio?
Best Regards!!!
Thanks man, for all your inspo throughout my lifting journey. Appreciate the transparency. Keep putting in that work!! 🔥
It’s great to hear all honestly bro, keep grinding 💯
Thanks brother, keep going also✊🏽
Love the honesty, love being able to see your fitness journey through these last few years, the hard work, dedication and excited to see what you do next brother 🤙🏽
Thank you so much for being honest, definitely gained more respect by being open about it.
Thank you for the transparency brotha! You keep being great🙌🏾🫡you’re inspiring to many💪🏾
Great video glad u decided to make a vid on this topic and really be real keep doing 💪🏽
Hello, thank you for sharing! I am very grateful to hear your experience. I have been following the channel for a couple of years now and watching your health focused path to improving your physique inspired me to take a similar route. I am not sure if I ever want to try competition, but it was really enlightening to hear about your experience and learn from someone with your perspective. Thank you again for sharing!
love the videos man I remember when you got detained I commented that i had also had a set back and the response you gave was the best and got my ass back into it, So thanks a lot and looking forward to what you have in store for us this year.
Been watching you for a very long time now and honestly all I can say is your the most transparent guy on RUclips especially coming out as enhanced. Many you tubers and bodybuilders try hide it away but I love how you made it clear to us. As a young fitness enthusiast, all I can say is that my view has not changed on you from your first video till now. Keep it up bro!
Much respect, was watching you when you were natural and will continue to support
We need more Merks in 2023. The honesty shown here in Merk's video is something highly desired in the fitness industry. Thank you for keeping it real bro. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the next video.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Love the honesty bro, keep it up, we are here to support your journey bro!!!
Your videos are so chill bro,respect for the time you take to create such nice videos to keep us updated about you and disciplined throughout the day!😀
It so nice to hear from you man and to be honest with us all this so great to hear from you and we're appreciate that 😀keep it up bro
Serious respect to your honesty. This is exactly what we need in this industry. Hope this becomes an example to all other influencers, builders, athletes, etc.
awesome video merk, glad ur so honest with us and always trying to help us out with nutrition and everything else that goes into it. much love homie keep grinding ! 🤞
Big respect for keeping it honest 💪🏽💪🏽 with your subs definitely one of the Yters I always go to for fit advice
THANK YOU 🎉 for being transparent and honest with your fans.. You took your time and that’s great.. quick question 🙋🏾♂️ videos in the future with Evan Johnson?
Keepgoing ⚡️
This honestly might be my first ever RUclips comment. I just watch in the background. Must say my respect for you has gone way up! Love the honesty, I watch a bunch of “fitness influencers” swearing they’re natural when it’s so obvious they aren’t. Keep killing it mate. Well done
You’re the man bro! Real and authentic as always. Keep doing you 💪🏽
I appreciate the transparency. Keep pushing bro, sending greetings from South Africa
Real as it gets! Appreciate all that you do bro 🤝🏾🖤
Been watching Merk since I started training in December 2018. Always been my idol, craziest physique I had seen naturally back then, I remember always wanting to look like him. Thank you for the authenticity & transparency, dude has always just seemed humble about things. Even before enhanced, you had an insane physique, super aesthetic. Just hate now in the industry how dudes be lying about it! Ain’t nothing wrong with it at ALL, just don’t lie to an audience about it! Merk is as real as it gets. Thank you for always inspiring us, and even further insight with this video. Keep grinding! ✊🏽
I figured this and we appreciate your honesty, you are still an inspiration.
Much props!! The reality of it no one cares if you are natty or not, just be transparent with the viewers. What gets us, is when they claim natty and aren’t and try to sell us on their programs etc. Been watching you for a min, props to you keeping it real 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Take care of yourself bro! Happy for you get everything right! 🤞🏽💯
Keeping it a 💯 as usual. Keep up the good work. You’ll only go higher with the work you’re putting in 💪.
Respect the honesty bro, you inspired me to get in the gym in 2017 & it changed my life ever since. Grateful for you G.
Thanks for keeping it real man . Wishing you the best on your journey
Appreciate the honesty💯watching all the way from South Africa. . .i've noticed something when you started to take liver support and the rapid growth in your beard. . .all the best for 2023 and keep the good content coming💪
Love the honesty! You always have my support!
Thank you for your honesty, appreciate it, keep being humble and real you 💪🏼
Thanks for being transparent, u were one of my favorite natural body builders!! I'll still watch your content but can you recommend any other natural body builder content creators I could follow?
I recently decided your channel some time late last year and I've been watching your vids but this rawness and honesty bro just got you a new subscriber. This took guts and i respect you for being this honest man🙌💪💯
Happy New Year Merk!
Much respect to you as always💯✌️
The honesty is truly refreshing bro. Thank you
Love the honesty. It's a great insight that I don't think I've seen many other people touch on. You inspire me every day to keep training & I think it's always worth putting your health over a show and taking some time to relax. Keep up the training, it'll all fall into place 💯
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for your support fr. And you're right, "it all falls into place."🤝
Your work speaks for itself. Appreciate the honesty and giving the insight on your journey. Keep going
Your advice is great I have used it and I will continue to, content that’s calm cool and collected, and proof of huge gains.
Can’t say I’m not concerned for your long term physical health… but I continue to wish you much success in the future.
you're such an inspiration man 🙂 i've following you since day 1 and you give me that energy to keep pushing forward 🙏
Keep going brotha’ ! You inspire me still no matter what
Love and respect the honesty. It’s the people that lie about being natural that I don’t respect. Be smooth brother. All love! 💯
Mad respect to you, you've been my favorite influencer for a while, and this vid just made me respect and love what you do even more, much love to you brother 🙌🏼
Been waiting for merk to make a video like this
Proud of you, Merk! Keep doing ya thang
Mad respect for your honesty! Stay safe.
transparency is all for me bro regardless if enhanced you always have something to offer to your fan b are and you are a true inspiration Micheal keep it up
Wow truly a breath of fresh air! I've been following you for the past few years and I've loved what I've seen. You have consistently and continually been hard working and humble. Thank you for the privilege of being able to add honesty to that list.
You represent the way we must walk this journey in bettering ourselves.
Whether through bodybuilding or anything else.
That's respectable.
God Bless.
Really appreciate the transparency, Merk. You’re truly an inspiration for all of us. Nothin but respect for the preparation and dedication you have! Stay strong, brother!
Thanks for watching brother and I appreciate your support🤝
Respect ✊🏿 the honesty bro!!!!!!
Keep grinding!!!!!! Stay healthy 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Thanks for being honest, you've been my idol for a long time and keep pushing 💪🏼🔥
Honesty is key. This was a great approach to your channel and viewers.
Honestly i never thought you were enhanced at any point. But even if you were or currently are, no amount of drugs can give you that kind of physique without being dedicated with diet, training and consistency. Keep grinding regardless brother. Appreciate the honesty and realness💯💪🏽
You’re the 🐐 for real bro, thank you for always keepin it 💯
Appreciate the honesty bro. I could see it anyway so no reason to lie, you look like a beast man keep it going
Proud of you man I pray your mental health and physical health stay strong your a true inspiration to me love from New Zealand

In Indiana starting a fitness and boxing channel when im bigger im looking forward to a collaboration with you most of all! First fitness influencer I ever watched and still my favorite! Keep up the good work truly inspirational 🫡
Bro, thanks for being honest. I have been busting a gut trying to get a physic like yourself. Will still be watching your videos and will still be a subscriber, but at least I can set myself realistic expectations now
I may sound like a mad fan but I’ve been watching you for a whileee. And you have featured in my ‘New Year’s resolution’ multiple times. I’m an eager learner and a lot of what I know and do is from watching you and this year I really want to take the next step in my following of you so I’m coming out as a mad fan hoping you see this and hit me up and answer my questions maybe 😅.
Thank you for coming clean! Much love
Been rocking' with you for a while, bro! You have a very positive outlook on things, and thats very inspiring my guy! Many people cannot relate because their first thought when faced with adversity is "oh no", whereas you seem to see it as "ok, how can we manage". Just W, bro
Respect man, you still putting the work and maintain your health. Hope to see you on stage soon, need to see that dog again! 🐕
Real talk, I’ve always respected your hustle b. 💯💯💯
Love your transparency and honesty on the subject matter 💯
Yeah I’m still gonna watch your channel, your routine and technique have helped me and my wife a whole lot. Appreciate you.

Thank You! For your honesty!
I loved the transparency bro much respect!
Damn bro being open about this and being honest makes me really appreciate your channel on another level

Always keeping it 💯 love u bro
Either way you look fam. Keep up the good work and thanks for the transparency. It takes more than cycling to have a beautiful physique like yours. It takes dedication, focus, and a strong desire to be the best version of yourself. Looking forward to more content from you. Keep grinding. We’re rooting for you fam.
Loved this video and appreciate you being fully transparent with your experiences!! Without revealing too much can you share how you came to choose your stack and where did you gather the information to make the decision regarding PEDs?
Thanks for your transparency bro keep going strong
You’re a respectable guy. I’ve noticed in your earlier videos you weren’t as humble and mature as you are now. But as far as maturity and humility you’ve grown since you’re earlier videos.
Thanks for the honesty
Love the honesty merk much love G
✊🏽🤝
Respect for this, the hard work is still undeniable and speaks for itself!
