@@PeteRubish I don’t understand how they keep prescribing those doses in America. Surely their blood work is getting hammered by that amount?

@@Sweet_TRT People might get prescribe 100mg a week at first , only take 30-40 , to then have the doc check blood & increase the dose .

@@Sweet_TRT No hospital system or insurance company would support that, but independent clinics have a lot of freedom. It will skew lipids and raise hematocrit, but often not enough to be concerning, all things considered.

@@TUBZ600 LOL 😂

This is the best comment section on the interwebs!

Mostly

I heard this dude can incline 800+ without wrist wraps

lmao for real

He tried to act like he didn’t know what tbol is too. I’ve never touched an anabolic in my life, and just being a huge fan of lifting I’ve heard of literally every drug out there lol I call BS this guy is natural now.

When people with high totals say they will never take peds is also a huge red flag for me like if your this strong naturally why wouldnt you eventually take peds to see what numbers you can then get.

@@BackFireZz I agree because myself and everyone I know that’s really into the gym powerlifting bodybuilding ect. that isn’t on anything considers taking something or plans on eventually using something to say you will never and have never considered it seems ridiculous

I’ve also discussed this

I think I’m an example of this. Not that I’m claiming to be a top tier athlete but all through high school and college people assumed I was taking gear. I had great muscle density, wide shoulders and a narrow waist. I eventually went down the gear road and never responded well to anything I took. I’ve research every possibility through all the blood work I’ve had done. All in all wish I’d never of taken anything.

Greg doucette is an example. Setting natural records for all kinds of lifts. Takes grams of steroids and couldn’t make it to open

Thank you brother! These are some excellent points! Your channel is looking great so far as well!

Just because they were tested doesn't mean they are natty. No one pulls 400kg and is natty. Not happening. Have to respect Pete's honesty, no one comes close to it.

You DONT HOP ON GEAR?... what a stupid saying. No... Once you start self injecting drugs you are CHEMICALLY EXPERIMENTING ON YOURSELF and the final outcome is NEVER GOOD IS IT.

Yeah its because in tested he had to be more careful with the drugs to not get caught but with free reign his numbers went up but not as much as natty to enhanced

just because you test positive doesnt mean youre even getting a big benefit from steroids. they arent miracle pills. this guy got popped for turinabol, well known to be one of the weakest steroids

@@Squatzoatz irrelevant comment. If you're on the sauce, you're on it. Natty is Natty and Sauce is Sauce

@@Squatzoatz na, because you're also not taking into consideration what he could've been taking years prior with all the times people like him don't get caught, the same question will always be there: What weights exactly are achievable as a Natural? You can't look at people like him for the answer because they've been taking PEDs all along

Hit 545 for 5 natty with room left to spare idk what I would hit as a one rep max but I think I could get 600

They all claim natural I agree with you I doubt it

might be using peptides or has used in the past but doesnt currently to claim natty

It's a good point overall!

It takes awhile to bounce back to normal, that's for sure

@thomas forsyth 41 and similar. Been off since last august. I went off TRT. I think getting back to natural would be healthier in the long run. I did HCG then clomid, all that, but feeling good again takes time. Just in the last 30 days started waking up with wood at night again sometimes. That honestly never happened for me on test. I think there are tiny imblances that happen while even on TRT. Some guys got sensative systems and need the tiny bit of pregnenalone, progesterone and all those minor hormones that natural LH & FSH help you make besides testosterone. But getting back to healthy natural levels takes patience. Also, some mental preparation too. Edit: even after the pct protocol it still takes time to truly feel good again. I call the time after pct "letting the dust settle". I have been off everything since last November.

@thomas forsyth The depression part was the worst. Part of what helped me get through the truly low test time period was having other hobbies to focus on. I knew it was inevitable I'd lose muscle, gain fat, and so on. Melt and turn to mush. Dieting during hormonal rocevery just wouldn't ne a good idea either. I simply had to focus on other things. Seperate my identity from what I see in the miror for a while. Now I can have sex again without it and overall I feel much healthier. That inbetween time is brutal, especially when you aren't 100% sure the balls or hypothalamus/pituitary will work again or not.

They all pretend like they don't know...it's all an act. A really weird one at that.

He just said he never used it, so he wasn't real familiar with it. He used different gear. Tbol isn't that popular, compared to other compounds. I'm not sure what the point would be in pretending he wasn't familiar with a specific compound. He isn't claiming that he was natural. He's admittedly used steroids...just not that one.

What? Chance Mitchell claims natural. That was the whole point

Later in the interview he even asks about TRT like he has no clue. Most of these guys will act like they have no idea what creatine is if you ask them. It's quite funny.

@@rickstark85 they're referring to Chance.

@@DeusExMachina50 my dr. put me on it a few months ago. i have all the symptoms you mentioned. i am going to ask my dr. to try 200mg/week next because my current dosage haven't seen much change, only very minor in my symptoms.

@@abereid4315 It took me six months to feel totally normal again.

@@DeusExMachina50 what dosage?

He posts blood work on his Ig

Probably also on people that never lifted. If you blasted gear for 10 years you won’t get much from taking 100-150mg a week. Definitely not going to gain 20 pounds.

I've read the study, they took 600mg of pharm grad test each week.

@@northbuster290 that's 3x what you'll get from a dr.

There's health problems men get from having low testosterone, from diabetes, heart disease, depression and dementia. Probably similar health risks from taking too much. I think the problem is some trt clinics prescribe trt that's above the normal range. A true trt dose is 100mg/wk but is also dependent on blood work. But alot of clinics prescribe 200-250mg/wk. A rough guess of where it will put your levels is to multiply your T dose by 6. So a guy on 100mg/wk could be around 600TT. A guy on 250mg/wk is around 1500TT, that 500 above the top of the normal range.

@@dansmith9724 shit 200mgs of test put me at 2300ng/dl from having low t naturally at 123ng/dl. Do about 90mg a week split 2 times now. 2300 test sounds nice but there are some negative side effects haha. I just want to feel driven and alive again.

@@curtharakaly4620 multiplying your dose x 6 is a guide. I understand the wanting more motivation and drive. Having your testosterone tuned up can help but there's probably more all of us can do to tune up our mind and body's. Your T levels were pretty low, totally understand where you're coming from.

@@dansmith9724 I’m 32 and my test is low 200s and I’m confused on what to do. I feel like absolute garbage. No energy. No motivation. Developed anxiety out of no where, which I never had before. But then I see ppl like him saying he doesn’t want to take it and it’s like fuck. What do I do?

@@jimrod4539 personally I'd get your Dr to give you a full work up, checking all hormones ie thyroid and adrenal, immune system, infections etc. Having mono from ebv can make you feel shit for a long time and any illness can lower your T. Once everything is ruled out and the low T doesn't have a treatable cause, than ask your dr about TRT. TRT does make you feel better but it's not like superman the way some people make out, its just getting your levels into the mid or upper third of the normal range. At 32yo I don't know if you have kids or not but it's something to weigh up. Also you want to keep on top of blood pressure and cholesterol when on trt and regular blood work twice a year checking everything like haematocrit etc. Trt seems to work well for mental health like depression and anxiety which they can be a symptom of low T. Trt makes your mood more robust I guess. That's my 10cents worth, I hope it has helped. 👍

Thanks brother!

200 is trt i work at a urologist and they give most patients 200 per week

@@mikep3322 200 is what they give as a shot in the dark. Nobody is outputting the equivalent of 200mg naturally. Those higher doses are for poor responders. 200mg puts me at 1250 total testosterone.

A lot of people that take TRT do it for reasons outside of the gym though.

Yes but if all you care about is numbers you probarbly dont need Test anyway. Your look will change, wich is the biggest factor. Muscular, finally after all these years

@@WorldwideDarts like what other reasons?

@@MrVigilanti I was a powerlifter up until my mid 30's. After that I stopped competing but was still a gym rat. When I got into my 40's I noticed that when I woke up I had severe brain fog and absolutely no energy. So I went to the doctors and discovered my test levels were almost non existent. I think my level was 159. So he put me on TRT. This was the first time in my life ever taking anything and it was a game changer. I felt awesome again in my overall daily life and a huge side effect was nice gains in the gym. But a lot of older men in our 40's go on TRT for depression, anxiety and to try to maintain overall health. Having low TRT as we age can be a real killer.

Most people get on TRT because they just want to feel better mentally

BB isn't more sustainable. The top guys in BB are dying like flies from heart failure etc.

@@Shvabicu as far as not ripping your bicep destroying your discs and ripping your tendons up it's a lot more sustainable if you read my comment again I say as far as the drugs we can all relate which yes numerous bodybuilders are dying from taking too much as well as the drying out process diuretics etc

Bodybuilding is terrible for your health in many ways. People still tear stuff too

@@stevend481 not as much from a hobby standpoint because there is no point in competing if you win at either what do you get

@@jimworton1245 yeah but thats not really "bodybuilding" to me. Thats just lifting weights which most people do

Him and Grigsby are the best deadlifters in the game right now. Definitely not natural anymore, but they have top .000001% genetics for this as well

You legit thought Jamal was natty? I like Jamal and I've been following him for a while and didn't know until now that he got popped for PEDs, but I always knew he was on something anyway. I think it's safe to assume everyone at his level is not natty whether its powerlifting or bodybuilding. Heck I think like a good 30-40% of people in my own gym are not natty anymore, there's so many instances where I hear guys openly talking about their PED usage. I'm actually grateful PED usage is more talked about now though so that natty lifters do not have unrealistic goals from their juiced up idols (respectfully).

@@vegetabrah1889 very nieve of me I know. I vaguely remember reading or seeing that he's natty at some point and it just stuck.

It's so crazy to see how much stronger guys like Jamal and John got after getting on gear. That is what blows my mind. They are at an entirely different level now!

Curiously what was jamal pulling when he was “natty”. Still can’t completely believe any competitor is natty now. But just curious

@@lmdoinraysmom high 700s

ReadComicsLiftWeights so mayyyybe he was natty but who knows. Lol

Its weird how the concept of low dose cycling goes out of the window when the conversation is about natty competitors/fitfluencers. They're kinda trying somewhat to not get caught usually(depends on the politics of the organization), so of course they aren't blasting their faces off and would greatly benefit from upping the dose(dramatically as many untested people end up doing for a while).

John Haack only recently switched to 300 mgs on prep. He used to cruise at 100 mg and then bump up to 200 mg on prep and 250 just weeks before a meet. Now he does 300 on close prep.
