Wow you Nailed it on this one TRUE FACTS , I was ONE of them on my 20s and then realized that I was overthinking too much about how I wanted to take my body to the next level and never fulfill or satisfy myself where I was at . Good informative Video !!!
PLEASE HELP FUCK DAMMIT HOW CAN I GROW TALLER IN YOUR 30S THERE MUST BE A WAY BESIDES SURGERY THERE MUSTBE A WAY OR I WILL KILL MYSELF I SWEAR I WILL EXPLODE PLEASE DAMMIT HOW
@SeanNalewanyjShorts Agreed one cycle not bad but when you’re not satisfied at your new plateau. It’s starts becoming an issue idolizing yourself too much being compared to others with uniqueness in genetics. In their minds find it more superior instead of accepting how you are
Sean I started your free program about 18 months ago. Thank you. I've put on 10kg of lean muscle and finally understand how it all works. Feel bad I never emailed back but wanted to say thank you. Your program is the best out there. I'm eternally grateful.
@@thekraken4265 so death. Unfortunately once you’re in there’s no way out. Once you send the signal to your balls to stop producing test, cause you inject it, even if you stop you’re never going back to the levels that you were
Gear doesn't magically and instantly make you look great. It just accelerates the process, and really only the massing part. Natural or enhanced, if you don't look great it's just a matter of time and consistency if you're doing things right.
We feeling the effects of well in my case of figuring out what I thought would be the best cycle. It should have been none but I made the wrong choice. So maybe speaking up will help some younger guys. I doubt it but because I was young and knew it all too. See where that got me on TRT for the rest of my life
Then other days you have the opposite and think daaammmmn that me? Goddamn i look sick as you flex in the mirror *(and revisit the mindset you had as a non lifter)
@@brownbear5258it does pass after a few years. Honestly it’s better to have a negative ego than walking around thinking you’re fucking yoked all the time
Always heard it described as the “hedonic treadmill.” Pretty amazing how I discovered this phenomenon at 16 while adults will go their whole lives not grasping the concept.
Very true. I been lifting since 14. I’m 45 now. Around 30 I wanted to see if one cycle would get me to another level. 6 weeks in I saw a huge difference and so did my family and friends. I stopped cuz I knew it wasn’t sustainable and would just make my normal body not good enough. F that muscle memory and natural lifting is far better. Be happy with what you go. Grass isn’t always greener.
I messed around with roids in my mid 20’s and I’m almost 50! I did a few cycles but if you see me now I look like a mid sized 6ft guy. When I was on, it was an Amazing feeling!! You feel strong, you Wake up with a pump!!! Unbelievable!! Then you have to come off, then the mental process begins!! You don’t feel or look as good, you start thinking, when can I start the next cycle!!!! When you’re off and you go to the gym, you can tell who’s on, and you start hating on them!! I know this because it happened to me! Just saying…
6 weeks ain’t doing absolutely nothing except shutting your balls down mate. Unless you’ve ran dbol alongside some fast acting injectable’s there will NOT be much change in 6 weeks. Stop spreading absolute bs as young people will see this and believe you.
Yeah, I've decided that i work out so that i can be healthy and eat what i want (within reason) so i don't even compare myself to the online influencers. Unlike them, my physique isn't how i make my money so I'm not gonna train or diet (or take roids) as if it is.
also ik you’re not supposed to tell people not to do things to be attractive to other ppl but as a girl natty looks so much better. those super muscular guys on gear look scary to me. a little fat on the body is attractive
The worst mistake we always make is making bad things trendy. Giving them cool names. Don't call it gear. Call it roids. Because its so much cooler to call it gear. And thats the problem. Because it sounds cool people move towards it because they want to be cool. In school we used to call it roids. The stigma helps to prevent people from moved towards it. Now people throw the word gear like its the norm. Its really sad.
if kids go after what's trendy they will follow it regardless of name. Instead of playing games with words we should teach them not to follow every trend like blind sheep just because "it's cool"
@@eliyahukuperman9250 they will not go after it if the name is uncool. Ive seen it first hand. When they named it multiple personality disorder. Nobody wanted it. But as soon as they changed the name. And made it cool by calling the different personalities to systems. Then everyone that wanted to sound special moved to lying about having it. Same with gear. Nobody will admit to steroids because it sounds uncool. But they will admit to being on "gear". Same thing but "gear" sounds cool.
@@juanperezwar8748 wait you actually have a good point, I never noticed it but teenagers tend to give not so cool things cool names to make them less blunt/bold
@@juanperezwar8748 Everyone knows that gear = steroids. Admitting to being on gear and admitting to using steroids is exactly the same thing. Braindead take.
I’ve been lifting for over 10 years now. And I gotta say, I love being natural. I love the hard work I put into sculpting my body. To pushing my limits naturally. The results lasts far longer than gear ever could, and no bad side effects. I have been tempted to try gear when I fell off my training, but nah, the risks aren’t worth it.
@@northsky5629That’s the problem, most people don’t use them properly. They can end up tearing tendons, muscles, ligaments, becoming covered in acne, getting emotional because they’re getting bad information
I’m 40 worked out a lot in my 20’s and kept it clean never any gear, I recently got back into working out nothing crazy more for health reasons and my muscle memory kicked in writhing two months . I’m not any where close to Olympic levels but I’m glad I stayed natural because I see the guys who went crazy with that stuff in our younger years they all look like crap now or have a ton of health issues keep it clean and mean brother
I have been working out since 1976, and I am still obsessed about fitness and appearance. I never did steroids. My body looked good up through my mid-50s, but now that I am in my 60s, I am often disappointed by what has happened to my body over the last decade. Yes, it is a form of body dysmorphia because I am told I look better than most my age. Ironically, the guys who did do steroids often look horrible at my age, and they are so depressed by it. I cannot imagine how I would feel had I done gear.
I've never seen a man in your age group be into fitness like that. The fact that you keep going even as your body has started to fight against you is something to be proud of. If you were my grandpa, I'd think you were hella cool man, keep it up
Brofessor’s words from 10 years ago still ring true: the day you start lifting is the day you become forever small, because no matter how big you get, you’ll never be as big as your pump. Just gets worse with steroids.
😂 hell yeah. Honestly broscience spits some real shit in his videos in between the jokes. This comment hit because i just watched his new video like 10 minutes ago.
that’s absolutely true, although there is a swole feeling sometimes on day 2 or day 3 when the repair is almost complete. i’ve always been natural, maybe what i’m referring to is on experienced by nattys
Which is why weight training should be just part of a holistic wellness lifestyle. Doing yoga, tai chi, qi gong, being in nature walking or running, when these people confine themselves to these gyms and “bodybuilding” it’s a futile pursuit. You’re existing only in your brain unsatisfied, not existing in your body.
Therapy and getting out and trying new things in life has definitely made going to the gym “not that big of a deal,” anymore. I used to always be so intense with it, but at the end of the day I stay in shape, watch my diet, compete in my sport’s competitions, and just focus on my health and longevity. Your body is going to fade no matter how hard you try and there’s nothing more sad than an old dude still trying to hang on to the same thing he used to in his younger days. How you treat people and carry yourself will always continue to grow for the better if you let it. So let that be your shine. Not your physique necessarily.
Exactly enjoying ones life and being a slave to nobody else’s opinions. If that one thing is your thing and your happy have at it. But when it becomes I have to and makes you miserable it’s time to re-evaluate some priorities
@@northsky5629 that is the most insane take I’ve heard. People in therapy are more likely to give you better advice because they are constantly working on their self improvement. Going to therapy is like going to the gym for your emotional health. Bro, your comment is exactly WHY people think therapy is something to be ashamed about. Abysmal as fuck.
Thank you Sean, I've been lifting for a year and a half because I've always been so skinny and all summer I've been pushing harder and harder because I'm not where I wish I was - but I just listened to what you said and it really opened my eyes because if a year and a half ago I had looked in the mirror And seen the reflection I have now, I would have been over the moon! I would have been really happy - so how stupid is it that I haven't been happy with the way I look simply because I'm now used to it and I want more?! Plus you're right I am comparing myself to others instead of just enjoying the gains and using it as motivation to push on, but in a safe healthy, patient way! I know you probably won't get to read this but I hope you do or at least that you get to read some other comments like this, I am really grateful to you, this has really opened my eyes this morning, I am really, really grateful to you and genuinely blessed by this! Love from London, God bless!
We all gotta start somewhere. You can’t compare yourself to someone like me, who’s been working out since I was 13/14 years old. All you see is the result, not the years of hard work. And the hard work becomes a part of life and fun after a while. Never compare unless it’s to learn more/ inspire yourself. My friends used to get jealous of me while I’d be getting jealous of some random on Instagram. The reality is, you have no idea how hard some people work for it or why. It’s therapy for some and homework for others. It all takes time and testing what works for your frame/body type. At the end of the day, it’s about being healthy
Most accurate reel I’ve seen on RU-vid. It was never about the physical gains, it was always about mental wellbeing. The anxiety, body dysmorphia, jealousy, depression, mood swings etc. can really mess you up. Gear and roids don’t just change your physique completely, it changes EVERYTHING about you completely.
It CAN, no doubt, but there are definitely variables. I've run a few cycles, nothing too extreme, and other than a bit of shoulder acne (which cleared right up with andapalene gel) I've literally had no sides. Hella gains tho. But that's just anecdotal BS from one guy. If we're zooming out, yeah this is all solid advice. Natty is best.
Depends on your maturity level and ability to view things in perspective. When my lifts were all about 40lbs better, I was about 90% satisfied with where I was. I was respectable, decent. Sure, I still had further ambitions, but they didn't feel urgent, just a nice goal to work towards. Now I feel about 50% satisfied, and want to get back to that point. I want to be as strong as possible, but I need to be at least decent. Some people have an achievement-based mindset where they're never satisfied, though
All those mental sides you mentioned don’t happen to everyone. The massive mood swings can happen if you inject once a week (which is the dumbest thing someone can do). Do daily and you vastly minimize the sides.
@@TheBoon14 Most people that seriously get into it pin at the very least every other day. Plus when you’re pinning massive amounts it’s easier to do it daily. I’m currently on 1400mg/wk test only and pin 200mg/day In a few weeks I’ll go on a break and go to 500/wk then go back at it later on with test/nandrolone/eq and maybe var
@@chiarosuburekeni9325this a negative assumption about a woman who made a positive comment about something that negatively affects a lot of men. Don't you want women to support men's health? Get the misogynistic chip off your shoulder. Stop consuming misogynistic media because its damaging how you see random women you don't even know.
Negative emotions like feeling weak or hating how we look can be our strongest motivators to achieve fitness goals, but following those motivations also feeds that negativity and makes it stronger. So we can choose to follow them or not, but either way true satisfaction only comes when we put in the time to just sit with that negativity and get real.
As someone who used to jump into cardio to burn the cal right after eating. Yeah, can confirm this mindset hurts. Because of that my weight dropped to 43 kg at 16yo. Now I'm just chill and try to have better muscle definition, take rests and try new types of workout because yes, it becomes normal very quickly. The most important is consistency and rational goals.
Anxiety about your existing gains is huge what a great point Ive worked so hard, I’m scared to stop, every holiday, every time I’m inconsistent, the stakes are much higher mentally
@@Lommy9999is it? Not being able to eat a cheat meal or enjoy a holiday is unhealthy in so many ways. Life is about balance and much more then the gym. Your mental is also just as important as physical
@@Michelle-om1bjidk without seeing bloodwork. To the eye his muscle belly’s look smooth. His skin looks clear ( I know they make filters ) and he doesn’t have the sunken in cheek bones and protruding neck around his glands. Doesn’t seem to be having to work to breathe while he speaks. But I don’t know shit without blood work. Otherwise I’m just spouting my opinion.
I used some oral steroids when I was 22 -- too afraid of the needle, but wanted something to help me grow muscle. I felt strong on them, but the only reason I thought I needed them was because I was so weak mentally. Fast forward to 3 DMT trips and a lot of meditation, and I realized I had all of the strength of the entire universe inside of me, and most importantly, the strength to love myself. 41 years old now, and in the best physical and mental shape of my life. Just wanted to encourage anyone out there who is stuck in the gear loop, or needs to awaken their heart. You can do it. You are loved. You ARE infinite love. ♾️ 🙏
I like to look at pictures of myself when I was obese then I look at myself in the mirror and it brings a huge smile to my face. Literally the best dopamine hit of the month is when I start feeling a little or stressed I like to remind myself of where I crawled out of.
My whole life revolved around my physique for about 27 years. I had 5 surgeries in 3 years which led to basically not training anymore. I was pretty depressed for the first year now three years later still haven't worked out and I'm the happiest I've ever been. I was miserable when all I did was obsess about my physique. And I didn't even know it. I look better than pretty much everyone and I couldn't see it. So I just kept trying harder. People would say things to me about how good i looked. constant compliments. And I actually thought in my head that there was something wrong with them because I couldn't see what they saw. I look back at photos of myself and see a weak little man. I was 260lbs with a 31 inch waist. I still stay in great shape. But I do it by eating right and staying active. And I am finally happy when I look in the mirror.
Facts. This is something I struggle with on the mountain bike. No matter how good I get, there's always, ALWAYS, another goal just over the horizon. I enjoy the progression, but you have to remember: you will never "make it". Even if you win the gold medal at Red Bull Rampage, you'll just want to win again next year... It never ends. My focus has just been on the process. Just enjoy the act of making progress, and aim as high as you can.
For the overwhelming majority, going gym is about looking good in clothes. How quickly that is forgotten once you see the nonsense online and allow insecurities to overcome you. Nobody else in the gym or otherwise even thinks about you, yet you operate as though everyone is watching you and admiring you. They are not. We're all narcissists.
Nah I was a fat kid that took all the jokes about being fat and laughed too. While I cried inside and hid it behind a smile. I have serious body dysmorphia even today. I’m in good shape but still train in sweats and long sleeves add a hoodie or zip up jacket in the winter. I feel like I’m being stared at and watched. Not because I’m a narcissist but because I still hear the fat jokes coming at me while I’m training. In my mind it’s all the people in the gym making fat jokes at me.
As someone who uses gear, my thoughts are “ok cool one more cycle in a few months an I’ll be there.” While also knowing, I will not be there 😐 Gear is psychologically addicting.
Anabolic steroids are inherently a class of addictive drugs because of their effects on brain chemistry. Yes, they’re VERY addictive for some people. Some people can use them safely, just like some people can theoretically use (pure, not street shit) heroin or meth or crack cocaine “safely,” but when it comes to addictive substances, there will always be downsides. Fly too close to the Sun, and you just might get burnt…
@@hatodikfülöp nope. I did 2 rounds of gear last year. 6 months later all my bloodwork said I was right where I started. No side effects and all my levels and functions are normal. I did 3 test over 9 months and all good over here.
I play music, I read books, I date women, I take trips, etc. Working out is great but if you can’t be happy without a “perfect look” you’re missing out on life. Life is sooo much bigger than the gym.
you are not missing out on life, you have some big problems in your head. it’s not that deep man, if you judge a person based on his physique you are a superficial person and of course not so smart 🤷🏼♂️. if you have a good physique and you look in the mirror and always sad or depressed because you don’t like your body, go to see a doctor man because your menthal health it’s bad.. like no one care if you are jacked man, it’s cool and i respect guys and girls with amazing body for their hard work but it’s not that deep it’s like someone with a cool car or cool hair or cool tatto.. after 2 min no one will think about your muscles ahahawhen someone is obsessed it’s too cringeeee, it means you are dump and so insecure, and grow muscle and become a meathead for not showing that you are insecure it’s worse than being skinny or fate and insecure.. because you are showing me that you are dumb and superficial
I done 2 courses when I was younger (20 years ago) and I wish I never had. Absolutely pointless for myself personally as I wasn't competing, just wanted to see gains quicker. Then due to starting a family and what not, didn't have time for the gym, so lost it all.
I just ordered all the test, AI, and PCT I need for a 14 week cycle, will be my first cycle. I don’t compete. Do you think it’s a total waste? I honestly just think it would be fun and I want to do it. I don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t do anything.
@@garboi8976seriously you don’t need this. You can get bigger and stronger naturally. Just need to train hard and eat well and get good sleep. So many people do gear and it’s just stupid, i see it so commonly but the people that do this just don’t train hard or eat well and stay consistent or patient
@@tomgregory-fs5bc yeah I already started, but to reply anyways, I’m not small. I’ve been huge for years, I’m just at a point where I have not been growing much for the last few years. The test has been great. But yes many people do it way too soon
@@tomgregory-fs5bc yeah, that’s not me but I appreciate your sentiment. I eat excellent, workout excellent, and sleep pretty damn good. I’ve already been big for a while and I wanted to run some test, which I now am, and it’s great. I understand many people think they are near their peak when they aren’t, but genuinely, I’m doing this for my personal joy. Btw, it’s awesome.
Mike Mentzer wasn't lying about how people overcomplicate working out. I'm 42 years young former Division 2 college football athlete and semi-pro footballer. I get compliments from the younger guys in the gym all the time just doing more weight at less clip. Once you understand how muscle stimulation works along with a good attitude you age gracefully as nature sees it.
This is such a shrewd observation. I’ve made a lot of gains recently, but it’s just human nature to never be satisfied. I’m always trying to reach the next level. I’ve never really considered this as something bad before. After watching this short clip, I’ve realized it’s good to acknowledge the gains we’ve made while progressing steadily.
I was 265 at 6ft 2” with over 35% body fat. Last 17 months have gone to 175 about 10-11% body fat 44” inch waist to a 30”and I have noticed that I’m never satisfied and always see imperfections. Have extra skin as I am 54 years old and my skin does not rebound like it use to. But the weight I can push/pull has gone up dramatically nearly 40% on the majority of my exercises. 6 days a week upper and lower body splits. I can see my abs & have a six pack but sometimes focus too much on the extra skin under my arm pits and the bottom of my stomach. I really Appreciate this video, I’m not alone feeling this way. All natural Thank you
Try red light therapy that is epic for the skin and recovery and look into skin care actives to get the skin to get tighter and less lose. By skin care actives I mean such things like people use for face skin care to get "younger" looking skin. Like all kinds of antioxidants and peptides serums for example. And also micro needling. And for diet again lots of healthy antioxidants like berries are great for the skin. And a good collagen source like gelatin for example. And supplements like MSM works good. Also moisturize the skin properly after showering makes a difference. My favorite is aloevera. Doing dry brushing is good for getting better bloodflow and seem to tighten up skin also. And various types of lymphatic massages is good to get less water buildup in the skin. My point is, if you want to there is lots of options to fix that issue.
Try fasting. I'm just beginning a 5 day fast. I fast once per month at the start of each month to keep it simple. This kind of extended fast causes your body to rely on recycling its own proteins from damaged or extraneous tissue, since nutrients aren't coming in from food. Since your extra skin is made from protein and is obviously unnecessary, it will be targeted for repurposing. The first day is always the hardest, but you will find that it becomes easier each time you do it. By the second or third day, you will lose the hunger and be able to go for longer. I worked my way up from one day to three, then four, and this is my first time doing five. I will probably stick to five since there is no muscle loss at that level. Good luck with your journey my friend.
I would be worried about things like acne scarring, heart problems, ED, prostate problems, and hair loss. I'm on the downhill slide to the big 5 oh, so I know maybe in the next decade I might have to look into HRT just because of age (knock on wood). So I don't know if I want to hasten all these things that might pop up when I hit retirement age anyway. :/
Natural all the way, guys. Health is not something to take for granted and working on your physique for YEARS can be an enjoyable process if you have the vision. Quick progression fucks you up in many ways. Slow and steady always.
@@bearpowder8807 his legs are almost no bigger than they were before the gear, and you would be able to see his legs if they were worth showing off, because he was literally wearing shorter shorts in the before pictures. He 100% skips leg day.
That anxiety about losing gains is real. I've lost sixty pounds and gained muscle, but I've also been recovering from injury and I feel like a cancer patient compared to what I was even a month ago.
I sprained my left shoulder and had to take it easy with that arm for a while, now I DB curl about 75lbs with my right arm and 50 with my left lol, they used to be about equal. But I'll get back there. Muscle memory. Not like it'll be as hard as getting there in the first place 👍
Being a natty (and honestly also a fatty) I absolutely am thrilled with every change I find, getting leaner and bigger. It's a slow process but I'm making progress. Love the journey. The destination will move on you. Love the journey.
Not gonna lie, got a bit of the dad bod going on and I don’t mind it at all. Got a wide back with well defined lats and traps, got big and defined arms, meaty quads and touch of a spare tire to boot 😂. Still got called a hot dad the other day at the waterpark. There’s 0 need to look like a marvel superhero to feel good about yourself and for others to be impressed with your physique.
its why my goal when i started working out was not to reach a specific physique, but more so to try to reach the best physique i can get with my body as is.
