Hey Alex, my fellow big guy. Do you have advice for powerlifting for guys who also have injuries. I'm in my 30's, decided to lose weight during covid 495lbs to now 265lbs, still a little chubby but have been powerlifting for a little over a year. I herniated my L4/L5 when I was a diesel mechanic and that's why my weight blew up. I've tweaked my back 2 times in the past year lifting but I've made progress without injury for a few months now. I can 5x3 405lb DL and 5x3 455lb squat. PR deadlift is 425 because I'm afraid of hurting my back, but I want to be able to hit 500lbs. Is that possible? I'm a big guy, big boned, wrestler/football in HS. Genetically I think I could do it. But with 2 kids and a full time job I'm scared to push my lift and risk injuring myself and not being able to work. Help me out here brother

@@DadGetsFit Yes. His advice is going to be to take drugs. Take PED's. That's what his advice is gunna be. Its like you didn't even watch the video lol. There is a reason why he himself juices after all.

STEROID USERS are WEAK FAKES! Stay natural buddy!

Test Enan is commonly used in hormone replacement therapy to address low testosterone levels, promoting muscle growth and improving overall well-being. Tren, on the other hand, greatly enhances muscle size and strength. Speeds up recovery from injuries as well.

Totally agree. Steroids helped me recover faster and maintain muscle mass, especially during intense training or after injury. It's amazing how they can support bone health as well, which is crucial for people with conditions like osteoporosis.

There’s no doubt to the benefits of steroids. Honestly, it has greatly impacted my life. It played a major role in achieving my desired physique. People should learn not to abuse these substances and act like they are all bad.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for reliable sources for both steroids and protein supplements. I know it’s crucial to be cautious with these, especially with steroids, so I want to make sure I’m getting them from trustworthy sources. For protein supplements, I’m also interested in recommendations for reputable brands. Any suggestions or advice on where to find safe and high quality options?

Jeremyproteins is the person you want. He's the most knowledgeable about muscle-building supplements that I know.

As a natty is not easy. I got years under the belt. I see kids and old, lifting for one year and have a body of a 3 to 5 year lifting. They look bigger and won't lie better cuts or ripped than me. You can't sustain a 6 abs all year round naturally. No water or food all year round (yeah, right). Only on competition can you do that for a limited time. That is how u can see hoes the fake natty are. And if ur not natty, I understand u want all eyes on you. But don't say ur natty when ur not. Including movie stars with rice and broccoli formula.

I was very badly informed so I never took steroids

The opposite is the case. Comercial gyms are full of people doing steroids, it's crazy.

Yep. Even Dr. Mike, who bases his brand on being a good source of objective fitness information based on the current body of scientific data, is on roids and seems to minimize their effect on him every chance he gets. I think probably the only time he got real was when he announced his retirement from bodybuilding and why he was doing it.

✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾thAnk you

How important is protein in a diet? I understand it’s very important, but what’s your intake/day? Gram/pound ratio, I’m asking. I’m 220lbs, and 220 grams of protein @ about 16% bodyfat seems like an absurd amount of protein to continue to gain muscle tissue.

@@seanhokanson4115 obviiisly since you’re training you need protein to help the recovery process and to build muscle. There are general guidelines of 3/4 to a gram per pound of body weight. I think that while that may seem like a lot, it’s all part of your overall calorie consumption. I’d definitely spread it out over the course of a day. If you had 5-6 meals a day and snacks it isn’t as daunting. Stick with quality as well. Chicken - eggs - lean meats - a quality protein supplement if you need it. Finally, if you’re a little short, that won’t make a huge difference.

@@chattingwithshap8010 220 grams of protein spread over 6 meals would still be 36,6 grams per meal. Every day. These high numbers are indeed absurd and not sustainable for average people.

@@nothingEvil101 you’re right. But the person asking isn’t average and I didn’t say it needs to be 220. I said 3/4 to 1 gram. He is 220 and 16 percent body fat. That’s not even close to average. I didn’t want to write a super lengthy response. Getting enough protein is important for muscle growth and recovery, but it’s more of an Art than anything else. On those training days, especially harder ones it’s more necessary than on a day off or a recovery day or week. Plus, at 220 pounds getting 150 or so grams or so on certain days would be totally fine. Most people, even those who are intermediate lifters, and even some as advanced ones vary their calorie consumption regularly. But again, it’s important to see each person as unique, not cookie cutter.

Those women also train consistently though to be fair. Most likely a lot more consitently and for a lot longer. Can't really compare female pros to dudes who have been working out for a couple years. It's not like the female pros are as big as the male pros.

@@onZampie Take a woman who has trained for 4 years and a man who trained for 2. The man will still be considerably stronger and have far more muscle mass than the woman who has trained longer. Steroids completely change that. Combined with the fact that roids tend to be more potent for women, the female in this scenario has the potential to be just as strong and have a more muscular frame than the man within a year if she was juicing and he wasn't. The bone density changes, the muscle mass increase, the muscle fiber hardening, etc that steroids give are underestimated pretty heavily.

@@jaysilvia1177 Exactly.

Even when it comes to men, Kumail Nanjiani was a 40-something wet noodle who became swole and shredded in months. It's not just about the end result but also the starting point and age.

Or anabolic steroids are doing the fuck work..yeah obviously ppl on steroids lift consistently but it’s way easier.

Phew, for a moment I thought you're talking about kg...

Did you continue to lift between 25-35?

@Funeral Director no. kids, work, building a business. I started back up about 6 months before trt

Damn, 35 and taking TRT? I'm 39 and not taking trt. I'm squatting 425lb, deadlift 500lb, bench 325. But I been almost nonstop exercising since the military.

@@jacobtaylor7506 yep. Had some tbi and couldn't recover from it. Tried for years beforehand.

That's literally too many numbers. Just eat chicken and lift heavier rock each week.

I’ve been on trt (120mg) for 5 years, my squat has only gone up 68 kg. Your buddy is using a Supraphysiological amount and clearly an outlier unless he was squatting under 4/500 lbs.

@@jrwitherite12 to be fair, he was a little below 400. Same time: his bloodwork showed the levels of a twelve year old, so I understand his decision. His wife says he's much nicer to be around, so that's a W as well

​@@tielvandenheuvel5168glad all is working out for your friend 💪

That's trt lmao But yes agreed it matters

​​@@jrwitherite12 how are you? What are your maxes?

Yeah, in reality it's more like you'll double your numbers quite literally if you're pushing natural vs enhanced. The most major component of steroids and the like is the increased lean mass your body will grow and is able to sustain, which leads to immense increase both in strength and in size as well.

@@luka188 yea the strength gain can be huge. on the downside could lead to injure with your tendons not keeping up

Doubling your numbers is not accurate. However, your 10-15% statistic is. I used to compete at the international level and one of the russian coaches told me that he estimated about 15% strength increase from PEDs. That never left me because at that level, I was getting beat by about 10% and I was natty. I think the larger point is the recovery, the volume some of those guys can handle is insane and volume is the biggest driver of progress. You can still get stronger on PEDs with less work, but when you actually do more work, the results are astounding.

@@sandrost4243 So you mean to say that PED's will only increase your lift from say, 300 kilo deadlift to a 330 kilo deadlift? How do you think Hafthor deadlifsts 501 kilograms? I already explained, you can quite literally double your numbers from using PED's versus staying natural, because of the extra lean mass your body can hold when using PED's, which is really what makes the difference and allows top level strength athletes to perform superhuman feats of strength. PED's when in the same weight class probably doesn't make that much of a difference, however the point I make is, the true strength of these PED's is how it allows you to surpass the limits of what a human body is naturally able to do massively by increasing the lean mass which can be supported by your body due to the increased testosterone levels and also the growth hormone which allows muscles to grow far larger than they otherwise could. When you remain in the same weight class, you basically only use the PED's to 10% of their effect at best. What really makes the difference is how it allows people to become 180 kilograms while only at 10-15% body fat, carrying more than 150 kilograms of lean mass, which is absolutely ludicrous.

@@luka188 Okay I must have misunderstood your point, you are also including increased mass, i.e., putting on weight. I was indeed talking about staying in the same weight class and I was also talking about highly trained individuals, 15% is very accurate. But yes, if someone puts on 40 pounds of muscle, you could double your lifts. Apologies for misunderstanding you.

Hell's yeah, dbol is amazing. Especially for the bench.

Lies again? Killing yourself is not solution

I did way better as a natural, I was on the top of my game but I struggled way more enhanced. When everyone is natural there's as much leveled playfield as you can gen, when we talk enhanced some people are willing to really push it and some try to stay in the safe zone, a bit above TRT if possible and results can and will differ accordingly.

Except guys can easily get away with competing in natural competitions while on the juice.

@@AlexanderBromley No clue where the poll was done, but certainly doesn't express my views.

"There are tribe members in sub Saharan Africa who wouldnt pass a natty or not. " Name one, Whenever I look at "tribe members" in actual natural environment they all look like bunch of skinny fat people.

Wow - you more than halved you body weight. How long did it take and how many calories were you eating per day?

@@dreamdiction well I basically went from drinking almost a 12 pack of Mountain Dew per day, as well as eating absolutely horribly. The end of 2018 I was like 400. I am assuming I was I taking just from that an absolutely incredible amount I don’t even know but it was bad. I then started my weight loss journey with 0 knowledge which was a stupid mistake. I barely ate anything and completely stayed away from any kind of sugar or carbs completely because of the things I read in the internet and it really worked. I was around 250 at this point and I still did not workout at all and I lost all that within a few months because I was literally eating like nothing. I went down to around 200 and I started feeling like shit completely, and at this point we are at the 6-8 month range. I at this point developed body dysmorphia and I think an eating disorder because of the fact that food in my mind was the devil so I ate just enough to get by. Hitting around the 1 year mark I was at 152 lbs and I felt HORRIBLE! I then decided that now was the time to start working out and eating food again since I knew that I had run out of energy completely and I looked like I had no muscle but fat still so it was horrible to even look in a mirror. So for the first year of working out I watched some but not a ton of videos and did mostly reading and watching people with no guidance so my beginning was very skewed. I got muscle but could not gain weight for anything and I ended up hitting a plateau from my newbie gains. I then in my second year did a lot more research and found people like daddy Noel and Sean N and then started to realize the benefits of eating and being okay with myself and trusting the process. I recommend to anyone starting the journey that I took to use your weight to your advantage and train hard, study hard and do it the right way because if I had I would’ve been an absolute friggen unit by now haha. Anyways here we are in 2023 and today I have been trying to main gain and I am sitting at 185 lean muscle. I will continue to workout for the rest of my life and I will take myself to the absolute limit naturally. I appreciate all who read this whole thing as I am a living example of the downside of self image and remember you can do ANYThING you set your mind too. I love every one of the kings out there looking out for himself, maybe I will start a channel just to talk with people about there journey and men’s positive mental health. Have a great day everyone and much love ❤️

@@landonconverse7995 Thanks, all I would add to what you have said is that muscle only re-grows while you are asleep so getting a full eight hours of good quality deep sleep every night is ideal for building muscle.

@@landonconverse7995Imagining drinking a 12 pack of Mountain Dew now, for me, makes me wanna puke lol. Congrats on the weight loss journey.

@@KlaustheViking yea it was a very dark 10 years, thanks buddy I appreciate you

Maybe for some people. Tell that to the zit-ridden 19 year olds with average level natty physiques who thought it would be cool to go on cycle because they heard about it in TikTok. The people who get the most out of PEDs are the same people who get the most out of natural training. Those looking for short cuts are unlikely to find them simply because they're taking drugs and ignoring the littany of other factors that give you success in the gym.

iam sure this is a joke but if not god damn your lost mate

@@DCJayhawk57 PEDs (specifically testosterone) will cause you to gain muscle without literally doing anything.

@@DCJayhawk57 it’s true that many people with the best physique on gear had very good physiques natty, but there are definitely some hyper responders who blew up once they used gear

If you already build muscle and strength easily naturally then yes OR If you're old, then hell yeah medically dosed or prescribed anabolic steroids help.

I did a split similar but 3 on, one off. Chest, quads, back, rest, triceps, snatch grip deadlifts/post chain, biceps, rest repeat. Triceps day consisted of heavy cg floor presses or cg bench so chest was hit as well. Bicep day always started off with dead hang chins so my upper back got hit then I did the basic curl stuff. I sprinkled in lateral variations on chest day and tricep days and rear delts on upper back and bicep days. Might go back to that once it gets hot as I train in garage. Quick sessions. Bulgarians or lunges after my snatch grip DL variation so quads got hit as well. Leg curls before squats on quad day. Chest day is always an incline, flat variation and end with v bar dips so triceps get hit. Upper back always starts with dead hang neutral chins then supported rows, if up to it maybe some empty bar poundstone curls for xtra bicep work. Loaded carries occasionally at the end of squat or deadlift day for the yoke. Natty as well at 45

I have been riding on the gains of a 3x week Full Body approach for a while now (really enjoy the meals I need before the resulting 2hr workout to properly carbload too :D.) I love how I can modulate the body part or part thereof focus by playing with order, repetition and rep range. Hurray.

You just disprove this video. No roided powerlifter or Bodybuilder trains like that. They split everything up. Bro split or PPL typically. Or some variation. Most people that do fullbody are straight up natty and have jobs. Unlike these clowns online. This is just more justification for roiders ruining lifting

@@3-dreticle826 what the heck are you even talking about how did he disprove it ?

Bro I do this. Chest tris and shoulders 3 days, back and biceps on the other 3. Legs on back day. I do too much volume for core I used to do core but simply don’t have time anymore.

I’ve never liked the idea of a 5x5 unless it’s for squat or deadlift. And with deadlifts I still prefer warming up and doing 3x3’s because deads are taxing. When I squat 5x5’s I usually lower the weight after my first set and continually lower it by small increments. Math crap will never get you stronger really. You have to use math crap to determine what kind of hard work you’re able to do. That means recording your lifts and tracking your strength.

I kinda like to warm up to a set of 3 reps for squat or deadlift, then do sets of hopefully 5 around a weight I should be able to do for 5 in my head and track my lifts for that day.

no one says they can't progress. What he made is known as strawman fallacy.

@@Tespri Elaborate what you mean by that.

It is cope. They can definitely make more of a difference than 10%. And most of the "evidence" he had to back up his claim were personal anecdotes or opinions. As for his own personal experience with how much they affected his lifts, there were many factors involved, not just PED's. And even then, he did not mention what types of PED's taken, or in what dosages.

The 15% strength increases is at a given weight. Obviously the main benefit is weight gain and gaining muscle will massively increase you strength in the long run. I'm like 3x stronger now lol. But the 15% is if I was the exact same size (after a much longer training period as a natty) then my enhanced body would still be 15% stronger with identical muscle mass

We’re gonna go with no.

Because, if you're doing it right, you're taking advantage of the elevated MRV to do more work than you could have otherwise. I'm not speaking for the typical corporate gym tool who just wants to get beach ready. Competitors, those who want to win, absolutely abuse their bodies. You said it, more energy and more glycogen; that means you have the capacity to red-line it farther, even when you're in the shittiest part of your powerlifting prep or a depleted bodybuilder who is peaking for a show on 1200 calories a day.
