"Would you ever take steroids?' "I'm on steroids." "Really?" Ruined that man's day lmao

Temporary gains, life long regrets.

I go to the gym to improve my health. Taking steroids would be contradictory, so a big NO for me.

It’s so sad to see people say they would be happy to shorten their lives to look good for a few years. People are worth so much more than how they look.

"he's an ifbb pro and he's natural" i guess people really are gullible

Poor Indian dude. Thinking that IFBB Pro is natural. Hes been completely hoodwinked. The way he described LA Fitness was SPOT ON.

I feel like this is the dude version of "would you try ozempic" or "have you considered plastic surgery" for women. It really shows how all of us are looks obsessed and social media is killing individuality and self confidence.

The steroid guy wearing the GASP inc shirt looks like he was gasping for air throughout their whole convo lol.

The needle bin in the gym is crazy I’ve never heard of that

This video is actually way sadder than I thought.

Imagine tellings your mrs, "its not my fault, the roids made me gay".

Bro you’re wild for the dance moves during the sexuality talk with Derek 😂😂😂

Imagine getting yolked on steroids just to go work a 9-5 desk job

Shoutout to the 17 year old kid: YOU'RE FXCKING KILLING IT DUDE!!!

One of your best videos to be honest. More serious and important subjects (and especially this one) fits you well, you're funny and you inspire trust, and now you have the platform, push the Truth for all those young ones who are watching you, may God bless you man.

Did anyone else think the guys saying they are 21 or 22 look like they are in their early 30s?

Social media is poison.

The guy on steroids who can barley breath having “gasp” on his shirt is ironic

I’m 19 myself and I was close to take steroids not too long ago. I already informed myself about what to take and already looked at studies and even had them in my shopping card at one point. Social media is not so much the problem that it influences me directly, it’s much more the people around me who think you have to be 220 pounds lean and jacked. I’m much more confident taking my shirt off but people saying “you skinny” or “this and that guy is so much bigger and better then you” really hurt when you hear it too often cause I’m really giving my best. Why am I not on gear now? It’s because of people like you who do videos like that and because of my ex bf who always complemented me for my physique and also another boi a few days ago who liked how I look and said I’m “hot”. It’s people like you and them that always get me back on track so thank you, really

Training for a year at 21 years old and then hopping on a cycle is the dumbest thing I"ve heard this year. My god... Idiotic behaviour.

That one dude said it perfectly, why use roids and put yourself throught it if you dont plan on competing. So many guys shortening their lives just to sit at their 9-5

You should do a video on people who are 50-70 who have done steroids to see if they regret it. Sad to hear that kid say “I’ll just call it quits at 70 instead of live to 90”

I respect everyone being honest about the pressures of social media and honestly everyone of those guys look great!

What you are doing for the every day person is amazing brother. These are by far my favorite videos. Keep up the great work

Asking if you'll consider using steroids to someone who is on steroids is the worst insult ever lol

Is there ANYTHING WORSE than being on roids and looking natural? This has to be as bad as smoking. Zero upsides with all the downsides.

Lots of dudes on here not knowing they have body dysmorphia

Trained for 1 year before turning to gear... this is what true weakness looks like.

Bless that first kid’s heart. At 17 years old, I love that he was honest and made it known how much social media plays a role in influencing.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Be proud of your progress and don't destroy your life guys.

Thanks for making this video Will. I can't believe it! I've been off social media for the last three years and I wasn't even aware how much the standards and expectations have changed. It's crazy how normalized steroids have become in the US - which means I'll soon see it here in Romania too.

Your end talk deserved my like. Thank you for trying to show people that its not worth it unless you are making your life about being on that stage.

In the words of my older brother when I asked him about steroids as I grew up: "Just workout hard and don't be a bitch". Never even looked at steroids after that

People worry about their hair, acne, libido, gyno but what they fail to understand is the difficulties on your organs. Most importantly, the heart.

Missing your videos man!!! Keep’em coming 🌸😁

Honestly watched one of your videos a few days ago and it felt like a mistake that I hadn't subscribed before that. Great Content

The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long

social media will be the biggest downfall to this generation.

Great message at the end of video man. Thank you for your hard work!

Thank u for spreading awareness ❤️

Jeff Nippard's comment on the natural ceiling was super insightful.

8:45 homosexual tendencies due to steroids? Now I get Dr. Mike's behavior...

Another great video! I’m a 35 year old female and I never considered taking steroids, but when I was in my teens and early twenties I suffered pretty hard from an eat dis. (Not sure if I can say the whole thing without getting flagged?) and thought very often about taking diet pills. But thankfully I was able to realize that I didn’t want to deal with side effects then or for my future self just to be skinny. And the real B of the thing is looking back at pictures of myself then when I was really suffering with my ED and having my mindset that I do now, I was actually skinny! I just needed to weight train and I know it would have helped my mental health tremendously! We didn’t have social media as intensely as we do now when I was really suffering, but we had magazines and shows and movies. Especially the 90s and early 2000s super skinny appeal. So I can definitely see the appeal some of these young guys and gals are dealing with. It does make me sad to hear how young they are and they’re willing to shave some time off of their lives just to look bigger/more muscular. Especially the one kid who is about 21 and he said he would be good checking out by 70. I hope that as he ages his mindset shifts because as you get older, 70 really isn’t THAT old. I don’t have children of my own, but my 15 year old niece is basically like my daughter and I want to be around as long as humanly possible to spend as much time with her as I can, and as she gets older if she has a family of her own I want to spend time with them. Being healthy is the main goal for me now. I no longer have the desire to be “skinny” like I did during my ED time, but now I want to be strong and healthy. I want to be able to continue to care for my grandparents who are 93 and 88 and be able to lift them when needed (like I almost had to do with my grandmother the other day when she fell), help with things for my parents and mother-in-law. And be as active as I can be with my 15 year old niece running around like she likes to do. I want to be able to keep up! I hope the ones that don’t want to take steroids because of the side effects continue to not want to take them, and I hope the ones considering taking them or are already taking them reconsider. 🖤

This is an incredible, insightful video! Thank you for this Will

Comparison is the ultimate thief of joy.

I respect the guys with shittier physiques that didn't lie about their steroid usage, more than the bigger guys that clearly lied about it. And there was quite a few of them.

Thanks for doing this video. I subbed. This is such an important topic and it's great that you are countering the trend of sterioids usage

This is the best content you've produced. You may even extend or save many lives with it! Thanks for doing this! Every time I've ever considered doing PEDs. I come on to YT to see videos like this to remind me I don't need to do them. I lost 131 lbs and got down to 12% bf. From 311 lbs to 180 lbs. I just finished my first bulk and now doing a little mini-cut. I need to continuously remember. I started this to extend my life for my wife and kid's... god willing. But once in a gym I fell in love with body building. It's like an addiction now... but a good one. Anyways good shit Will.

It’s insane to me that these kids are juicing. They’re gonna fuck themselves up for life

“You’re not just making a decision for you, you’re making a decision for your future self” awesome quote 👏

Excellent video, as far as informativeness!

Great content man

8:25 *"They are putting chemicals in bodybuilding and turning the friggins athletes gay!"*

fitness influencers have done catastrophic to this generations physical health by their use and peddling of gear. Disgusting. That last guy with the huge forearms saying "why put your body through the stress of being a competitive bodybuilder if you're not going to compete" which hits the nail on the head.

Honestly, at 45 I consider taking something to help lose fat, but getting bigger are is behind me now.

Will Tennyson looks like he's on steroids too.

Putting fitness side for one second, you are actually a really good interviewer. Your follow up questions get people to open up and explain more without leading them down a path.

That 17 year old is big! And very self aware and reflective of the impact of social media. Very impressive for his age.

I can relate with all of these people. I would never do it, but social media glorifies it. I appreciate the video.

Great video. Amazing and very important job. Thanks.

Most of these dudes are already on it. Especially the ones that look 40 but are 22. That’s wild.

Im almost 35 and going to the gym since I was 23. The natty potential is higher then most would think by just being smart about the traininglifestyle and being consistent.

Great content mate! 👏

Good video. Educational and I’m sharing it with my best friends teenage boy/young man.

The video was class... I love how you specifically followed interviewees' reasonings with Derek's words.

1 year natty before gear kid genuinely made me sad. I’m in my 30s, been training for years, already have a wife and kids and STILL any time i think about gear immediately talk myself out of it because i know i can improve my diet and training and still dont want the extra risks. That said nearly every damn day social media makes me think about it

Great advice at the end!

shaming someone for considering steroid use is insane

21 year old trained for 1 year natural, starts doing steroids, "i don't mind taking a bit off my life, rather be strong and get to 70, than 90 and decrepit". Bro if you take for 70 years you're not going to get close to that age, and if not, then you're not trading strength for age, as when you stop, you're not really stronger when your hormones do not help you anymore. It's crazy that so many steroid users rationalize because they imagine they are gonna live for 100 years without, and steroids will only take a couple of "bad" years off in the end of their life, bro that's not how it works, getting a blood clot in the brain at 27, dying from liver or kidney failure at 32, or getting a massive heart attack at 44 is not anything like you imagine now is it? Waking up from a coma at 34 to live the rest of your life as a vegetable with major brain damage is not like this..

taking test just to look like an average lifter is wild

"when I go onto social media" that's the problem right there

Excellent video Will

No I would never consider using TikTok

To that dude who said at 12:33 that steroids will help you minimize risk of injury, it's actually the opposite

So glad you made this video

The Nirvana song from Batman coming on when zooming out from the Batman shirt cracked me up

Will's face after Derek told him about changes in sexual orientation 🤣

Guy at 7:43 who says he's on gear sounds like he's about to have a heart attack right then and there, but talks about side effect mitigation

will is straight up professional reporter

Pointing out that your priorities change with time is so good. Don't do things in one season of life that will negatively affect every future season. Not worth it.

This is one of my favorite videos that Will has ever put out. People often dismiss the fact that men have deep seated insecurities about their bodies. To have someone who is natty post something like this is so important, and Will is truly doing the groundwork to spread the message about steroids while also being a great role model for what is possible without them. Great job!

"Just workout and eat, it's literally that simple" - Love ihat. It really comes down to working out for health vs. working out for aesthetics. Both can be achieved naturally, the difference is time.

I have been working out for more than 10years and to me is not only about getting bigger. Its a mix between bodyfat % and that pump feeling after workout. People want to keep that feeling permanent. In fact many people when asked they like what they see in the mirror after a heavy workout. If they just could have that feeling forever they'll be happy. I believe have achieved my max potential regarding muscle gains. To manage that I had to forced myself to eat loads of food so I can keep up and as expected you also gain some fat. The biggest problem (in my opinion) of being natural is having to deal with this balance of trying to max out the muscle gains and not gain much fat. Having time to balance your social life + professional and still hit the gymn to max muscle gains and cut the body fat is just an exausting process. You get tired of this routine after these many years. When i was 22 I used to weight 71kg. After all these years working out (allways natural - protein & creatine are best friends) my regular weight sits now between 84-86kg and with 14/15% bodyfat. And let me tell you, when I finish my workouts I look into the mirror and it feels like i'm on steroids. The problem is, only lasts 20min hahahah The point is,you get tired of the routine, sudenly you also ahve other responsibilities and other things you like to do as well and can longer dedicate that much time to min max to cut all the fat down to single digits % and thats where steroids come to play. You start wondering "I'm super happy with 85kg and this muscle mass I have at the moment but I just dont have time, patiente (cuz just been doing it over 10years) and time (cuz family, friends ,work and other fun activies you like to dedicate yourself) maybe if i just take a small dose of testosterone or something, then I will be able to shave of 2-4% my normal body fat". And this is the tricky part. I personally dont believe people want to take steroids because they want to be HUGE. Many of them are already happy with their muscle gains but for several reasons they can't cut their bodyfat down to single digits. Then you log on social media and all these "influencers" are freaking lean as a god can be! They all have single digit bodyfat and of course they post images and videos with their muscles pumped from the workout to maximize the ideia of being big and lean.

Comparisons is steal of joy

Bloody hell. Social media's living rent free in the heads of some buds.

This is extremely sad. The same as so many young women feeling the need to get BBLs, one of the most dangerous surgeries there is.

The good is being demonitized and the bad its viral! Welcome to the internet .!. Great vid!!

this video is sad but happy when people say no never

The documentary-style content hes pumping out lately is so good

15:53 the needle sticking in his shoulder!!!! WTF! 😂😂

The needle bin is needed otherwise people will toss them into the trash, which is a very serious health hazard.

I got goosebumps at the end. You are an amazingly incredible human being sharing these videos to the world. Respect to you for your genuine spirit and strength.

You can hear and see the heart failure in people on roids, god they all sound out of breath

The one dude was worried about losing that Broccoli Top

Im also in a similar situation but with hairloss. Im also in the verge of getting bloodwork to start medication but this video got me questioning things. I have been in this place and planned to take a plunge now im back to square one, confused on what to do.

I’m glad u made this video, this video makes me stop thinking about the possibility of taking SARMS

shoutout to the 1 guy at 18min who talked about not wanting to cheapen his achievements. Nothing compares to the confidence, discipline, self-respect, and character that's built from putting in the work yourself and not relying on something else to do it for you.

7:35 The fact that this guy is nearly breathless and his RELIEF is that his grandparents still have hair. 😄

YOOO WILL, SHOUTOUT TO GOODLIFE FITNESS DOWNTOWN MARKHAM!!! I used to go there, great gym! I also saw you with kinobody at the Richmond-John location while I was working there, when my buddy Patrick was your cameraman!

God I’d love to sit down and talk to you on this. It’s such a crazy topic. Social medias influence on all things but this specifically is so bad right now.
