I'm not going to lie I cried when I found out Mark wasn't certified Mike O Hearn Natty, At least we still have a true natural like Hulk Hogan to inspire us.
I remember Mark back from when I started properly lifting back in 08. Not only has he matured, now more healthy, become successful in business and life, looks a lot better, there is a surprising amount of wisdom to be learned from him. Mark sees the big picture which is not an easy thing to do, and as a communicator he's really improved in that area. It's great to see how far he's come. Smelly is practically a public intellectual now, he probably didn't expect that back growing up. Keep knocking it out the park Smelly and f*** your elbow
To this day im curious what the fuck mark did to them. Silent Mike & Jim Mcdonald both left and did their own show and wouldn't say what Mark did but they obviously didn't want to be around him anymore.
@@russellmuscle7434 I’ve been around since the days that ST gym was strictly gear. I think Mark slowly but surely has completely sold out and is much more of a product peddler now than the #1 hardcore powerlifting forum he once was. They’re on the same level of seriousness as barbell brigade these days where it doesn’t even feel like a real members powerlifting gym
As strength athletes we all are addicted even without the drugs. However, the drugs just add to addiction and possible adverse health effects. Props to Mark and Pete Rubbish
The biggest problem with gear use is it being illegal. That alone prevents it from being truly studied in the West for performance. Every professional athlete is forced to lie.
What do yoou mean illegal? Test injections are perfectly legal with a prescription, I'm hoping to get an uncle to write me a Deca prescription later this year. Not sure about Anavar but a whole bunch of other anabolic steroids are legal too, just highly controlled. Even with a prescription the number of places that stock them are limited.
@@mercharris5266 Êtes-vous français? Americans use "the West" more than most but if anything Euro-centric writing of history is to blame for that perception. The Middle East should ideally be West Asia and some fossils still refer to India and China as "the East" even though no one in Asia uses those terms.
The reason was the spectre of a better you. "I don't wanna die knowing I didn't pull out all the stops. I want to see how mighty I can become." And Mark, you did. You can hear it when you tell Goggins that you benched 800 something lbs. You did it man, and thankfully, it didn't kill you. The story of Icarus haunts every man.
The erectile problems are common with anabolic use - and while it does go away, for some people, a psychological 'performance anxiety syndrome' develops. They fear failing to 'get it up' - and become so anxious and tense, that they can't get it up. It's devastating for a teenager especially.
@@GJ-DT Is this your first cycle? Don't say anything is for sure until you've completed the cycle and pct. Until then, if you're plagued with plentiful erections, use them.
I just went to hospital this week .i purposely gained 18 pounds in a week,along with alit of energy drinks it caused a panic attack.. Doctor's thought at first i had heart attack..I literally couldn't breathe but small breaths..
Honesty always earns respect. This is how we all "could/can/should" learn from other's interactions. I appreciate so many of Mr. Smelly Bell's shared experiences. Thank you.
Im sure cutting from 175 pounds to 145 in 2 weeks for MMA has more permanent or worse side effects long term for health than taking testosterone I would bet. Their is no safe guaranteed way to predict risk factors for bad health.
Now Mark has to continue to use hardcore Trenbolone cycles, otherwise he will not have enough Testosterone naturally because he shut it down with master blasting Winstrol and Trenbolone
much respect to Mark for telling it as it is. He made an informed decision, he is cognizant there are some risks and this is how it should be. It's really sad AND stupid when young people get into this stuff absolutely unaware of any side effects. You are messing with your body so regular blood tests are the least you should do. Otherwise it's a bit like Russian Roulette. Mark, I wish you good and sound health for many years to come
When I was 40 I started testosterone , spent my late 30s tired all the time and un motivated, low sex drive slight depression , starting test was the best thing I ever did . 43 now and still use 2 cc per wk .
Nothing wrong with taking a little juice! Some sostenon with some equipoison, add a little dbol hell throw some winstrol on it, maybe a little anadrol ..... I can go on and on! Some haloteston and primobolan... damn I’m Gona be jacked! 💪🏾
@@HkFinn83 Louie is not focused on being healthy, so I would imagine he’d dismiss Smelly’s message in this video as weak. I appreciated the wise and real message in the video.
Igf1 levels jump alot on test for certain individuals, id assume that would be the big factor so your igf1 to testosterone ratio may be to blame for the drop
@@jasonkoch3175 But competitive bodybuilding is actually is way more dangerous than powerlifting because they use more drugs. T3, stimulants and diuretics used during a cut can cause serious short and long term health problems in just a few weeks of use. Kidney failure, scarring of the heart muscle, heart attacks.
I can tell you old school bodybuilders did way more than that. I watched quite a few in the gyms from mid 80s to about 2002. Anadrol sustanon winny test deca dbol....all used heavily and heavily year round.
Imagine benching 305 at 181 after two years of training, and two years later getting 405x5. Anyone else have to throw their arm around their back to wipe your ass?
watching that larry wheels video with golem in it i was like wow that guy just standing there before even starting seemed like he was having trouble breathing and i was like ya im glad i never took anything even though i wanted to many times i never pulled the trigger
There's a difference between taking gear and being a 300lb bloated freak. I don't take it because I'm petrified of going bald, but if what's holding you back is the breathing that's not really an issue unless you get huge & in that case then it's an issue anyways.
@@PlutoTheGod your also not going to go bald running 509 test with a AI either bro.. If your scared of needles just say that. More for us big dawgs.. Lol jk
Does mark now claim full natty ?!? Lmaooooooo if you guys believe that a have a beach front house in Chicago I wanna sell you. TRT is still not natural but the safest route to go. It’s been medically proven that at low dosages you can take testosterone till the die you die of old age. Being monitored by a doctor and have blood work done is crucial to staying healthy on a trt protocol.
you literally have no choice but to be on TRT/HRT if you spent years cycling anabolic's. you will stay shut down for life if you don't hop on some sort of low dose to bring you back to baseline levels.
Shut down is from a negative feedback loop in your hypothalamic pituitary axis (HPA)..your HPA sends a signal to your body to produce testosterone, and then the excess testosterone tells your HPA to turn off the production, then it starts back again when levels go down. This is the body’s way of regulating test production…When you put exogenous test into the equation your HPA says oh I don’t need to produce anything anymore because I have all this extra test hence you are “shut down.” Pretty sure that’s the way it works anyways.
HPTA, the hyothalamus is signaled by the thyroid gland to release lutenizing hormone. The lutenizing hormone stimulates the leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone and do spermogenesis.
@@EMDANAL go talk to your doctor about it…depression and mental health issues can have an effect on your hormone levels. I’m not qualified to give you any advice on what you should or shouldn’t take.
@@wadeboothe4397 The hypothalamus releases GNRH to signal the pituitary, not the thyroid, to release LH and FSH. LH signals the Leydig cells to produce Testosterone and FSH starts spermatogenesis.

I wonder if he has any side effects now from when he used to use?
Well, he has to take trt now forever.
Feels like if people did cycles like old school bbers 2 cycles a year for competition and that's it. It'd be a lot "healthier".
