Celebrity Trainer Reveals The Truth About Steroid Use In Hollywood 

Dr. Mike looks like he’s balancing a ball on his head during this interview

Asking a Hollywood trainer if his clients and potential clients are on steroids is like asking a lawyer if his clients are guilty. Mike, of course, he's going to deny it.

So he opened 4 gyms in the most expensive city in the US at just 20 years old?? You mean his parents right ?

"Deadlifting 450 is good... for an actor" Bro didn't have to do me like that

Fair enough, he just trains celebrities. He doesn't supply them with steroids or lead their PEDs programms. But doctors and clinics do...

So cool to watch a guy with rich parents lie to Mike for 45 minutes!! Please get this dude back on!

It's cool you got Ryan Reynolds' dad on

"We need his shoulders and arms bigger in two weeks." - "Do me a favor, STFU." 🤣

This guy says alot without anything being said at all..

I enjoyed seeing the difference in how a PhD in exercise science speaks about health/fitness and how a celebrity trainer speaks about it.

Standard Hollywood response about steroids, “don’t know much about em.” Also can we see the 20 reps of 430 deadlift on video?

This video should have been titled - Dr Mikes quest for Lambos

You smell that? Yup...it's a big pile of bs. Props to Mike for trying though.

He claims natural but buddy sounds like he took about 5 lines of cocaine before coming onto this podcast.

So, you say the "truth about steroids in Hollywood" and yet...

My local gym costs 250 dollars for an entire year. That´s 125 dollars per visit. Not a great deal. 😑😑😑

This guy seems really shady. The way he overreacts to more stressful questions shows that he's likely hiding something, the way he embellishes his speech and the way he moves while he's doing it. I had to stop the video because it just seems like he's talking a bunch of bs.

The trainer for Hugh Jackman, one of the world's most visible steroid users, "doesn't know that much" about steroids. Sure, sure. I get why Dr. Mike didn't ask any direct questions to this guy but that's a ridiculous statement.

IT WAS JUST THE CHICKEN , BROCCOLI AND RICE MAN.

I’m laughing at the intro based on Dr Mike’s long history of destroying celebrity workouts, celebrity trainers, and the whole celebrity fitness situation

Stopped watching as soon as the dude says he doesn't know anything about steroids. Claims that Ryan Reynolds uses Glutamine and BCAAs "when needed". Some right bullshit being spouted here.

Yeah he doesn't want to give up his customers who are pretty much all on gear.

“I’m not on anything but my test is 930 at 47…” 🤔

Asking a celebrity trainer if his clients are on steroids is like asking if he wants to pull the plug on his career. I don't even fault him for giving a bullshit answer, he has nothing to gain and literally everything to lose. And besides, we already know the answer.

Everytime he mentions swinging a Kettlebell i smile as i know what Dr. Mike would say if he was reviewing this.

Dr Mike finally got to Hollywood

He demands all his actors have "Blood-work done" and doesn't know about steroids, I call bull, this guys test lvl is over 900, lol

Did he just say celebrities get shredded from BCAA and Glutamine?🤣

Calling BS on this. Dude is clearly protecting himself by playing dumb about roids in the space.

Is it me or does he just exude “douche” vibes. Really like Dr. Mike’s face during whole interview

This guy is geekin rn lol the nose wipes, the knee grasping, the deep inhales, the off camera peeking… dude is either off a key, 4 energy drinks in the belly, or just prepping for the next BS line every second, orrrrrr a noice combo of the 3 😂😂😂

The more he talked the more shit came out. 😂 Started out with some plausible tbings and then quickly spiraled in to complete bullshit 😂

T levels over 900 at almost 50 years old, naturally, of course.

This guy is insufferable

Using Steroids can get you into criminal trouble in the US. So of course this guy will say his guys don't use

16:05 Bro claims he reps 430lbs for close to 20 reps... Dr Mike is just smiling and nodding 😂

The bullshit detector went off for like an hour straight. Love you Dr. Mike but your channel is too good for this.

I like how Mike has this non confrontational interview style.

Dr. Mike seems like he’s thinking, ‘Hold my protein shake, I'll show you how training is done!’

The best response to being asked if you are taking anything is still the Markus Rühl interview.

Lol this is literally Dr Mike taking notes so that he can compete with him for Hollywood clients 😂

Nobody thinks the studio provides doctors or steroids or specific trainers, absolutely no one. They know there is a required look for whatever the role may be and will achieve that through their own doctors.

Best click bait title and thumbnail.

When he talked about "functional medicine" and listed some names I nearly tuned out completely... Once he mentioned that Westside barbell cult member and conman whinning i was done.

He is right about the celebrity trainer thing in terms of how you become one. It's the same thing when a martial arts place claims they "train law enforcement". That is a cop came to your gym and purchased self defense lessons, so you technically trained law enforcement and you are free to advertise that.

Oh well then all my doubts have now been laid to rest

this dude def had a few nose beers before this conversation

Alan Ritchson said in an interview that he was taking a lot of ibuprofen during training for the first season of Reacher and that crushed his test level. He then did hrt to bring his levels back up.

I feel like this was actually just Mike asking for how he can get into the celebrity training game and we got to watch.

Loved this. Would Love to see more interviews with celebrity trainers.

Great interview! Enjoyed it, thanks.

Really liked how Dr. Mike asked him to clarify and gets specific on some terms he threw out

"I don't work with Thor" Oh, well, he's the only guy clearly using PEDs in Hollywood...

Lol at that 2 week story, basically did the equivalent of washing the car and changing the oil in order to make the sale.

The part on loading the spine surrounding travel is so key and i needed to hear it

Great interview! Enjoyed hearing how some of these guys train while traveling and on location. Just goes to show how hard many of these celebrities are working behind the scenes. The stuff no one actually sees.

Was glute spreading this whole video Mike ❤️

Damn this channel has been growing the last year, you had around 700-800k whn I started following.

Wicked. Screen ready. Thanks Dr.Mike. Always been curious about this guy and how celebrities actually train.

this was a great vid! love your stuff Dr. Mike

Absolutely zero chance that this guy doesn't understand the world of steroids. Anybody who has been in fitness since the 90s (especially a celebrity fitness trainer lmao) knows a thing or two about gear.

My god, remind me not to mention NYC around a New Yorker. They won’t shut up about it ever again

I get Don's reaction to what Alan Ritchson said...but he was off a little bit of what Alan's reasoning was for why he got on Test. He explained it pretty clearly that he'd been lifting since he was 18 or whatever and as a natty he was always pushing himself to get bigger and bigger, but when the studio ssked him to get bigger for season 2, he noticed he wasn't feeling all too peak. He'd never used anything prior to season 2 training so he got his panel done and the doc told him his test is basically zero. So he got on test and he basically felt 10 yrs younger and recommended anyone who is...older and starting to feel like they dont got that energy that strength anymore to try it out. There was never any hints Alan gave that he's trying to make an excuse for why he's taking test lol

44:14 Mike’s glance at the camera when the guy said Ryan Reynolds likes the smith machine cracked me up

I once saw Hugh Jackman on a UK chat show where mentioned he hated getting fit for a role. I think he hinted that was the reason he was glad he wasn't doing XMen anymore. Its been a while for him but now he's on Deadpool 3. Possibly his last role that requires a jacked physique.

This was a great interview, nice change of pace too!

Excellent podcast format! Very interesting.

That was fantastic, thanks guys!

Mmmm I'ma say he's a cool guy, but hes 100% fronting a bit. Some of the stuff he said was just raising red flags.

Ive been trained to react negatively to the name "Saladino". This dude is dope

Dr Mike love the content on your channel-one thing I’d love it if you could cover with a short episode-how do lifting mechanics differ based on lever size ie do certain exercises hit taller and shorter people differently? are taller athletes more subject to lifting injuries? I know you’re 7’8" but some of us shorter 6’6” lifters (yours truly) would love to hear your thoughts on the subject. Thanks for all the work you do (and for keeping it so entertaining)!

great vid and questions, gives me hope for the celeb trainers

Loved it

First minute and a half of this video are already unhinged 😂😂

Excellent episode. I've been lifting and active for 45 yrs now but learn something new with every one of your videos.

It's crazy how Mike can't comprehend how powerful word of mouth/ experience advertising is.

This was actually quite interesting

This is a great video.

Thank you for this brilliant interview Dr. Muscle

Don is the real deal. He pours an immense amount of time, energy, and effort into his online "Challenge Crew" participants. His enthusiasm for his craft translates equally whether you are a celebrity or just a regular joe, no ego there.

Good interview i liked it

I stopped listening the second this guy says he doesn't take any type of performance enhancing drugs 🤡🤡🤡

Ok the how big is it question was hilarious, the timing and execution

I like how Dr Mike is really digging in with his questions to get the details

Guy is so sketchy.

I wonder if this is the start of Mike training celebrities and then giving interviews of them not needing gear

Impeccable questions Mike, top man.

Great interview, guys.

Did this dude say he could pull 450 for 20 reps? I call bullshit! Maybe with a fucking trap bar. Maybe.

Dr Mike has quite the “LinkedIn approved” sweatshirt lol

Younever fail to besoinformative even after all these years posting knowledge, we still learn much and much from you Mike. Ive told you before and ill say it again: To me, there are no better teachers than you. The approach, the laughing, the tone of the voice and everything you say, the directions you take to teach us and you also take your time... Man, you are an incredible guy. I wish we would hang out, last time you were in Montreal you were so busy with Atlantis, ill come over to the Atlantis gym with you just lemme know! I want pain, i want gain, i wanna get yelled at for another rep, i wanna push along with my idols. You and Jared are my role models *You for the brains, Jared for the Brown chicks*

Fun interview, thoroughly enjoyed this.

I love you Mike.

Dr. Mike taking notes to get into Hollywood 😁

Interesting Interview. Thank you

Mike, bro, this is one of the best channels for training. It's so good that motivation is no longer an issue for me; my only problem is with those eccentric movements 😂.

That sweat shirt omg.

Love it when the answer to a question is more questions... "Why would I go on TRT?? My test is at 930 recently!" Lol this dude...

I really appreciate the portion where he spoke about the obese clients with whom he is working for years to make a lasting progress. About a year ago, I was 450 lbs, after about 300 days I began to plateau at around 385 with just intermittent fasting, so I began powerlifting (because I enjoy it and I have the requisite equipment in my garage). I'm still around 385 but I am much stronger and my measurements are going down. It is frustrating to not see the weight loss but it helps to see and feel the strength increases. It's also nice to know that slow progress is still good progress. That really helps. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this interview. It’s always interesting to hear from professionals that work at a very high level in their field.
