+Silent Mike I am an absolute beast too, and All natural bro.

You made a comment that you don't know anyone that does the high volume rep sets like Jesse. Didn't George Leeman do higher volume sets in his workouts?

+Mike O'Tren same here!

*****​ I'm not making a comment on drug use or not, just pointing out someone else whose extremely successful in the sport preaches he higher rep scheme approach. I really don't care if they are on it or not. If I took them for 10 years, he'd still be stronger than me. Why do you need to worry whether he's on it or not. Who gives a Fuck?!

+Silent Mike Would love Johnnie Candito!!!

+hurpdurpgaming 11/10 comment

or Ivan Draggo

+mrdarkevil1998 would be awesome, he's such a great guy

+Vincent Legent I can guarantee this.

+Vincent Legent No that amount of muscle gain will NOT happen even to a detrained natural athlete. ESPECIALLY the example athlete he used who was very advanced. There is not a shred of data supporting this. Pls stfu.

+Vincent Legent Lol, muscle memory is definitely real but Greg took it to an extreme with the claims he made.

+mliniman 30 pounds is stretching it. However, I gained 10 pounds with relatively little fat gain over a 3.5 week span after coming back from a broken foot.

shonuffLA couldn't agree more.

Prime example of genetics

Anthony eric prime example off busting his ass. fuck that genetic bullshit

shonuffLA i

For real though, it's not like once you use steriods, you automatically do these weights...not even close

Mark hating lol

+Marc Pocketliner upvote for epic user name.

this^

Haha right?

Lol why don't you ask Jeremy Hamilton? :p

+Gisle johansen yeah, bring on hamilton!

+Gisle johansen Will Jason Genova appear soon ? PISSSSS :)

yeah its funny really, "tests are easy to pass" but its also used as a mark of legitimacy when someone has passed one haha

+Fitness Enthusiast Just as natural like Lance Armstrong.

Okay but so is the rest of his competition, this dude is also a freak of nature and puts in a shit ton of work

+Liam Totten yes he can, especially when jesse says in the video he cant call himself natural

+Liam Totten Yes you can, the dude is either a martian or is using drugs...which one is more likely?

i pulled733 at 16.

late but there are actually quite a few people who have pulled 600 at 16

Steroids are amazing along with eating clen and tren hard. Also genetics too

tbh, it could have been done naturally, assuming he was still in the 90kg class, a 270 is deadlift is 3 times bodyweight within 2 years of training - not impossible imo, I'm 17, been lifting lower body for about 7-8 months and can pull 180kg at 68 kg - if you get into strength from the start, you will obviously hit big numbers much earlier - if you look at Olympic weightlifting a lot of the lifters are young asf, I think some girl set a wr at 15

LegendaryCrumpet your an idiot, I have a buddy with insane genes and he weighs about 160 and is already squating 495 and deadlifting 535. he stays lean no matter what he eats and can put on mass like no other, oh and he used to lift in hs for football but fell off for awhile, these lifts are after 2 months btw... So untill you meet a freak you will only gauge off ur own shitty genetics.

+Ahmed Mandy I don't think it was the brain damage. I've competed with Jesse and his brother and they both are very laid back and relaxed in the way they speak.

I know 2 friends like this who definitely don't do drugs, it's relaxing to just hear them talk and behave.

I think his head injury may have been permanent

this isn't calm sounding it sounds like he's near brain dead lol

he days in one of his videos that he doesn't smoke weed, and never drinks to the point of getting drunk.

+bikerboy72 The title just says steroid tested, not that he's natty.

+bikerboy72 Small minded People finding it hard to see a guy like him couldn't do it drug free He's not going to be sitting there talking about how he's natural, he's going to show #Reaching lol

wth is that greg guy talking about drugs don't make that much difference?

+Dardan M www.strengtheory.com/steroids-for-strength-sports/ That's the article he wrote to back the claim

Within strength sports. Given weight classes etc

Very beast tho...

Who fuckin cares about his personality?

google "benefits of squat bar"

I'm drunk on doughnuts so I'll comment on my own post.. great interview and great content as always. respect

+Jonathan Medros Ya goddamn right

dn a welcome to the club -_-

dn a try more banded high rep work to help tendon recovery

Fit Motivator Derek Strength Specialists not sure what you want a comparison to but I think someone in the ipf benched that at 74kg (165lbs) and for sure it has been done at 83kg (181)

+stewie griffin That is a pretty accusatory conclusion. Even if Jesse was using, Layne probably is welcoming because he doesn't want to believe someone is willing to cheat to beat him. Also Layne is forced to recognize he was in fact beat so it's either show love or accuse, the latter which comes at a great cost of causing a shitstorm. Let's, theoretically speaking, imagine we know 100% Layne is drug free and Jesse is using. From Layne's perceptive as someone who trains his ass off, follows the rules, yet gets dominated it feels so defeating he wouldn't want it to be true. As a competitor the last thing you want to admit is you were cheated yet can do nothing to stop it. It's like being told genetics are more important than all other factors, it's something athletes convince themselves isn't the case because it gives no hope. I'm saying this as someone who knows this struggle lol. I just don't judge, let the viewers make their mind.

CanditoTrainingHQ Jonnie, you don't have to pretend. We all know those eyebrows can't be natty ;)

+CanditoTrainingHQ Layne and Jesse are probably the most well known fake natties in powerlifting, they're far beyond your level of plausible denial.

+CanditoTrainingHQ I thought the exact same thing when I first saw Layne's video response to finishing 2nd, and HAD Layne taken the "he's using" route, it would have made him look like he couldn't handle someone being better than him and was simply attacking Jesse because he had won ( to the layman anyway). 90% of career lifters can tell who is and isn't whether they acknowledge it or not, and they give their respect accordingly. I don't find it suspect at all when other lifters aren't publicly crying "foul"... but nonetheless, I'm sure it stings like hell.

+Agateophobia As a fan that's fine. At no point am I rebuking viewers for believing someone isn't natty, that's their opinion and often a logical one. But when you are involved in this industry as well as compete it's a little different as it isn't always your role to have an opinion. It's wise to only speak on what you have evidence for when they are your peers. So to me it is wrong to say Layne should outright reject Jesse due to suspicions, that's all I'm saying. As I said, the viewers can decide.
