Just talking period, seems quite uncomfortable to be honest

You and Jared make a good team. You have good chemistry together explaining things without sounding like your just making up a bunch of BS. Hope to see more collaboration in the future.

AGREED!

Yes exactly. Although he is a IFBB pro

He makes terrible sounds the whole video

I wonder how much can be controlled by improving one’s conditioning

That or he just took a line of coke or Adderall, which are both abused for weight loss and prep

Same I fucking hate needles and the side effects are fucking brutal. Steroid culture in general though Is very interesting to me for some reason

@@moonbull3137 there arent even side effects if youre dont blasting tons of gear just little cycles no sides at all

@@hanskazan7403 Umm of course there wont be any negative side effects while youre taking it, the side effects start after the cycle. If you dont believe me try going cold turkey after any cycle - there will be side effects.

​@@Sweatyphalangeswithdrawal is by definition a symptom of a physical addiction and since most steroids only work effectively you've been taking them continuously like an addict, I'd say calling that side effects is fair game

Stay away from that shit until you've been natty for YEARS AND YEARS at least. I absolutely do judge the fuck out of people that jump the gun, if that means anything to you. - Dr. Mike

@Renaissance Periodization Other than people who need it. I've been trying for 3 years to get on trt. I'm now 34 years old. Levels have been low for years. I just got my issa cert and have been training hard for 2 years with maybe 5% gains. T levels high 100s low 200s. Each person is different.

@@JGH1708 the calculus of making that decision will be different for each person. While I think it’s a safe bet that any use beyond true replacement doses will have some negative health effects, if other health risks are minimized I think well-informed and conservative use may more or less be equivalent to the health consequences of the average person having a bad diet or another person being extremely sedentary. If that is the case- and In terms of supraphysiological doses of bio identical hormones (to a degree of course, 5 grams of test/week is going to be unhealthy any way you cut it) but even up to a gram/week I wager that almost certainly the health risks are minimal or at least comparable to other fairly unhealthy life choices that won’t necessarily take off actual years of life-I think one can see pretty easily why people would go the route of using AAS. Many people who love sky diving, bungee jumping, free climbing etc have no aspirations or hopes of being professional and these activities are of course detrimental to health and safety. I think it’s a similar concept.

@@JGH1708 I would agree that definitely describes many users but I think many end up using for almost the opposite reason: insecurity. No matter the reason though I just hope they educate themselves so they can do it as safely as possible, which, like virtually anything, even the ideal will not be 100% safe.

​@@Xpert2077sir, if ur test is that low I don't understand why a doctor wouldn't prescribe you testosterone asap. I'd get another doctor. Or, even easier buy some testosterone from a local source (I'm sure you know many) or you could even buy online altho most online places have a minimum order of $150 or $200 and u won't need to spend anywhere near that. If u want legit HRT and nothing more I'd get Ur bloodwork done one more time, this time also testing Ur free testosterone, total testosterone, LH, FSH, estradiol, thyroid level, GH serum test, and GH stimulating test. On top of Ur liver values (ast and alt are standard but make sure it has Ur GGT added bc the previous two are useless), hemoglobin a1c (blood sugar over a long period), then regular blood and lipid panel just for regular health. Which will iclude hdl, LDL, triglycerides, rbc, hemoglobin, hematrocrit, wbc, platelet count etc. This will give us a broader spectrum look at Ur health and what Ur markers are... To Know any gaps that need to be filled. If Ur test is still low then Ur Gunna want to go on trt which ud want to acquire 2 or 3 10ml bottles of testosterone enanthate or cypionate. They're essentially the same thing with slightly different half lives 4.5 days for Enanthate vs 8 days for cypionate. U could interchange them and likely not notice a difference. And they should be the same price. Usually they come in 200 or 250mg/ml so if your "doctor" had u start at 100mg per week as most would if Ur levels were low. I would have u inject 0.1mL every mon/wed/fri/Sun if it's 250mg/ml using a 1/2" aka 12mm 28 or 29 or 30ga insulin syringe that is 3/10mL volume syringe. If u stayed at this dosage, those 3 bottles (total investment of $250usd at the absolute highest reasonable price imaginable) would keep u going for 75 weeks. And those 300 insulin syringes (assuming u use a new one every time) cost as little as $76 shipped on a quick google search. So we will say $100 shipped. So in total Ur looking at $4.70 per week. Assuming u didn't also have low thyroid or growth hormone also. Particularly growth hormone. If u, "require" hgh for Ur HRT.and have an insurancw provider who will cover it or cover most of it. You've basically won the lottery if u care about body composition and gains. Also, now would be a good time to mention the 100mg/ml TRT Replacement dose has been shown in multiple studies to have the exact same health profile as if you took up to 350 or 400mg/week for most people. And just incase there's any question in Ur mind... I'll point out that 400mg/ml of testosterone and a legit HRT dose of growth hormone, from a US pharmacy is enough to make crazy gains and have u looking better than 99% of humans on earth. While likely never having to come off or adjust dosages. So that's what id do. Theoretically of course 😛

Gh and gear make a huge difference you are naive.

Right? If only! - Dr. Mike

@@analogcrunch4716 and you know better than everyone else. 🙄

@@analogcrunch4716 right on, man.

Tbf if you have good structure you could be a hyper responder to gear with blessed joints and a solid heart. You might blow the fuck up who knowz

Honestly, i think that only those who are genetically blessed should compete and go off the edge Not to be an asshole, but the Health/gains ratio gets skewed as much as the drugs you’re adding

@Ali Mehrozi - thanks for the transparency.

You can’t compare a mg of eq and mast to like likes of tren. 200mg of tren is probably 1000mg of eq equivalent for size gains

@@Dan-zs8pk most guys I know in men's physique who are near pro or pro level take between 100mg to 200mg of tren. But tren is so bad for sleep that even 100mg is enough to give alot of ppl insomnia, ED, nasty acne, and a very bad mood.

Thanks for the comments. Any comments in relation to age and amount taken?

Lmfao right I'd crash my car into anyone that cuts me off

i dont like to be angry anymore, so I choose to be happy...takes years of training, but i feel we decide what emotions to let take over...hitting the weights deff takes out my aggression.

@@DeRockMedia i was in the same Position all my life till i took LSD, u need to reflect youself, life can be so much better when u try to have a positiv mind, be nice to everyone, try to laugh here and there with strangers, just little Things that will add up to a newer happier life, positivity will attract positivity If you are allways angry and take it out on others then u make their life worse

If I get pissed at almost anything when Im cutting, my social life couldnt handle also being pissed off when bulking on gear...

@@LukasWeber-ne6pg i understand... if i wake up irritable...i still try to crack jokes with friends or coworkers which helps put me in a good mood... ive been spiritually very happy now due to that

Same 100% I became less humorous and funny like I am naturally, and more distant and pulled back, anxious all the time, over analyzing situations and hyper conscious etc. I’m still not the same

​@@Run_IT_Riddlersame but I did show natty.

@@JohnPaul-sh4tu i did it natural way and it is not the drugs it is your brain.

bodybuilding is a joke of a beaty contest

That’s what they say in public. I’ve seen more than one ‘coach’s’ plans and it’s all chemicals. Training and eating you can learn in 5 minutes. Real pros are just genetics and chemicals.

look up nasser interview lol n leo longetivity channel

The science has supported there is a concrete dose/response relationship with steroids for a while. Yes, it does plateau out where the more you take isn’t as beneficial as it once was but more IS better. People lie about this to protect idiots with shit genetics/newbies, from jumping on 5 grams of gear in an impossible effort to turn pro. However, the truth is, more gear = more gains. The issue is more gear also = higher likelihood of running into significant health problems if not immediately, certainly down the line. It’s a risk all pro bodybuilders have decided to take.

@@christopherfaulkner5821 i agree lol. you gain more muscle the more gear you take. moreplatemoreate think taking 250 mg of test is all you neet when thats a fking lie lol

People who reason like that probably aren't likely to be interested in being smart about it to begin with. Doctors on the other hand have a strict ethical code to follow or they won't be doctors for very much longer. It's like kids who use the same argument to blackmail their parents for booze. If the parents give in, the kid will most likely drink the sketchy stuff anyway because their reasoning is already impaired.

the doc's response is because they're illegal, what do you expect..?

I expect the above. That's why i wrote it.

@@Pile_of_carbonthe same doctors that think you can “reassign” your gender?

That's the point, it's not fitness anymore when you have clogged arteries and an enlarged heart.

I was chatting to a fella in my gym and he said when he was younger he started having a single blind spot in one of his eyes. He went and got it checked and the doctor said (after asking him or seeing his bloods) that it's a blood vessel busted and if you keep taking PEDs you will lose your sight. After hearing that he went off the stuff.

Wait 6 more years. Then come find updated drug videos from Dr Mike.

Ey, same backstory! High five!

Yeah! The Custom Training Templates are just better in every single way! renaissanceperiodization.com/custom-training-templates - Dr. Mike

I can vouch for their awesomeness. Zero regrets with my purchase of a custom template.

@@RenaissancePeriodization Thanks for the quick response. I already run the custom ones for 1 block and agree: They're awesome. I just wanted to prioritize some muscles and before buying another custom template, I thought about the muscle focused ones. Again thanks for clearing that up and also for the great content. Your videos und Training templates helped me a lot breaking through my first few growth plateaus in the intermediate stage.

Hear what you are saying. Public is stupid. Plain and simple. Arnold, Phil, Jay, Ronnie... would not necessarily be the best coach for food, drugs, chemicals, medications, lifestyle.....Why? Well in general the BEST coaches were never the best players and the Best players, almost never make the best coaches / trainers and generally real medical education / support required. Most influencer know what they did for themselves, but generally not able to cross over to other sports or help people with special needs.

I wonder if that's true. I mean, it's definitely true for some KZfaqrs. But like Jeff Nippard is natural and has a huge fitness channel. AthleanX (ugh, even typing his name brings me pain lol) is natty. So is Omar, and Eugene Teo and Will Tennyson, etc. Which KZfaqrs that are not active pro bodybuilders do you suspect are on the kitchen sink? I mean, I'm sure they are around, I just can't think of any (RIP Rich Piana). - Dr. Mike

@@RenaissancePeriodization natural ? Do we actually know for certain? Here in Colombia and Panama we see a lot of "natural" patients / clients looking to cheat and do not want the movie producer or their coach / trainer to know. Vanity is the devil's favorite sin. Naty or not? Never know till you live with that person and even then sometimes their are still secrets within a family. The world we live. Certainly agree, not the kitchen sink, signs are clear

@@RenaissancePeriodization both of jeffs are fake natties...

@@RenaissancePeriodization Yes there are some that stayed natty and u certainly know better than me who is and who isn't. I think most at least have taken Test to get their look and to me with all due respect that is steroids. I did one cycle of Test and only Test (3 months) and I got stronger than ever been and got huge off one 3 month cycle. People like Ryan Hummiston, Greg Doucette, Leo, Mike Bell, Nick Trugili, Simon Miller, Nick's strength guy, just to name a few I think have at least taken Test. I know Greg admits it. Personally I see nothing wrong with taken steroids if done correctly. I just get so many dreamers around me who thinks everybody is natty and they get mad at me when I tell them the truth so when i saw ur video this morning my dreamers popped in my head and I guess I was defending my position in my comments to u and I am sorry if the comments came off as anger toward u that certainly was not my intention. Not at all angry with u, on the contrary I enjoy watching u.

500...or 3000😂😂😂😂😅

i'm currently on 175 mg TRT. but will bring it down a bit soon i think. i have blood work every 3 mos, which really is the only way to know what is actually happening and to stay completely on top of your health..

You WILL die.

4realz?

@@Dan16673 yes sir

hope you're healthy 10 yrs down the road man..

Yes and no. Steroids in the US come from a variety of sources - legal purchases in other countries shipped to the US, illegal underground labs in the US, legal pharmaceutical TRT or HRT for transgenders resold illegally, and legal purchases in other countries carried back to the US by the purchaser. Testosterone and other steroids are generally not illegally smuggled by latin/south american cartels into the US simply because its not very profitable compared to drug smuggling, a kilo of cocaine has a street value of ~30k USD while a kilo of testosterone raws would run closer to 1k USD. If you got caught smuggling a kilo of either you would get hit with the same trafficking charge so its just not a good risk:reward ratio.

@@8EnigmaVirus8 Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was curious about.

steroids for the most part are restricted prescription drugs and are used in a variety of medical uses .Then you have underground labs that essentially copy the prescription drugs. and then you also have ones designed for animal use so like horses and cows.

Agreed. Its not even comparable.

He's cruising bro

what would be a conservative first step into PEDs? What is considered the less dangerous way to take gear?

@@hanscastorp1945 lowest effective dose of Test only. Observe affects and results. Adjust doseage or add compounds one by one in subsequent cycles and observe affects and results. Rinse repeat. Start low brother. Some say take a TRT dose, ie around 200mg per week. Some say 500mg per week. Totally individual and dependent on your body. If you start low you can reap rewards (with less risk and sides) longer and then as you plateau, taper up dose. Check MorePlatesMoreDates out for more in depth info.

Try mixing up your training regimen first. Try the ATG program, for instance and start doing slant board squats, split squats, reverse squats. See if you can meet all the ATG strength standards. Or get more into calisthenics. Working out is about a lot more than just size. Remember, the most aesthetic or healthy individuals are rarely the largest.

@@WillyDee123 thanks for the reply, brother. I appreciate it.

Rookie numbers, should bump it up to 25-30 grams at least. ;b

I usually take as much gear as I have copies of chromosomes. In other words, double that. - Dr. Mike

drugs do that
