Anyone who hasn’t seen the oldest vids on MPMDs has to look at the oldest vids list. Derek looked like he woke up with a hang over in his pajamas, and barely making sense 😂. He’s certainly come a long way.
Remember saying that about Joe? When he began announcing for UFC, I was like, "yo, check out THIS guy, Joe Rogan went from being on 'Fear Factor' to announcing for UFC!"😆
@@punkmeathead3792He's off the gear & no longer doing bodybuilding training. You don't keep the gains when you stop using steroids and stop lifting like crazy.
@@FitnessdramaMaxxing out? He's focused on being a millionaire now. Not doing drugs. Imagi e doing steroids in your 30s to impress teen boys when you should be aquiring wealth. Lol
@@MossisinaBoxhe used to be a big player in the fitness industry on the content side. He made a bunch of viral natty or nots, call outs, confrontations, and fake weight videos like 5 years ago. Haven’t seen him in a while but gotta admit at one point he had a huge channel
Love seeing this guy succeed….excellent to see these 2 together.Derek a great example of we the people do not necessarily need a degree to become an expert on a subject or to become successful
@@threatened2024Dude fr 😂, a big reason why I passed my nutrition, biomolecules, and muscoskeletal exams were because of information retained from Derek’s vids.
McGregor was taking all the drugs during his recovery. Or maybe it's because he's from Ireland, and the size of his muscles were Dublin.. I'll see myself out.
Sir thank you for this , I am listening on Spotify from south africa and now here , thing is I battle anxiety your podcast really helps on my drive to and from to keep the anxiety in check you rock thank you 👍
I love how MPMD still answers the question at the end. I hate when "educated" people refuse to speculate, even when you make it clear you are asking for their speculation. Fucking ballpark it nerd its ok to be wrong. 25 - 50% thanks
I completely agree with you but I don’t think it’s because they are afraid of being wrong I think it’s because even if they say “ah well this is really 50/50 but if I had to guess it would be x” then despite that people will almost regard x as the truth, or at the very least as far more likely than it actually is
@@erlandochoa8278 that’s ok in my opinion. Like the original guy said, you’re the authority on the topic so don’t give us a murky response. Answer to the best of your ability & if more info comes out that proves you wrong then that’s good. No one is omniscient so let’s all roll w the punches is how I see it. Everyone I knew growing up thought Marilyn Manson got a rib removed so that he could S his own D & here we are knowing it was a lie despite it being repeated like the gospel yenno? I think the biggest thing is just not doubling down when you’re wrong even if you’re someone like Derek on the topic of peds. that’s when it gets messy it seems like
Personally I found it annoying in Derek's natty or nots where he would often refuse to come to a conclusion. Effectively saying "I dunno" even when people are so abnormal.
@@dfpguitar i kinda respect that....not claiming you DEF know when its possible its not. do you have any references of who he said was not that was clearly?
@@peasnburley7496 I can see that but I just started driving almost an hour to work so yea it’s easy now. They started uploading clips to Spotify now as well so it’s really hitting all fronts. PBD podcast is another really good one
The idea that someone with a severe injury that causes people to lose their legs should listen to USADA over a doctor is insane. I hope Conor took everything he needed to heal.
@@Reaches4Grapes People forget that every black market PED is available by prescription from a Doctor. USADA doesn’t visit Russia and when the Russian fighters get caught out everyone’s quick to defend them because it’s “prescribed”
Show me an MD anywhere in the world prescribing steroids for recovery from orthopedic surgery. Find me ONE. I’ll save you the time, they don’t exist. Steroids fuck up your blood sugar, your hormones, your entire endocrine and catecholamine systems. THIS isn’t good for recovery. Its just not something that is ever recommended in ACTUAL medicine. Lung inflammation? Great. Blast them with a few days of roids. Terrible pain and cant take pain pills or NSAIDs? Allergies? Steroids are great……..BUT they have dramatic side effects. There is a reason we only use steroids when other things fail or are contraindicated. A rather large portion of the population get steroid psychosis in only a day or two. They literally lose their shit, and we have to stop immediately. Nobody talks about this, but its super common even for low dose oral steroids.
@@user-iy3gb1sp2w Thats all those goofy azz NON athletic people who never competed in a competition in there life in anything!!! I was D1 at a Big 10 college… Test EVERYONE!!!
I am just a regular guy who takes bpc 157. I cant talk about how great that stuff is enough. It didnt make me recover faster from the gym. It did help heal my elbow tendon issues I had for months. Nothing has worked better and faster.
Derek is one of my favorite guests ever on the JRE. Homie has so much knowledge to share I always feel like I’m learning some serious science it’s fascinating lol.
His hydration video is one of the most useful pieces of information to the general public of all time. People genuinely don’t have the first clue about hydration and it has so many negative effects on the body.
@@Sacredsnow2 What the hell do you mean people don't have a clue about hydration?? LOL what planet you living on? GOOGLE HYDRATION and you'll find the people he STOLE the information from who were talking about it for 50 years. Jesus Christ you people
3:29 yh cos he fought with the rods still in, i had the same surgery on my arm. Youre supposed to get a 2nd surgery to get them out after a year, the bone needs to heal the screwholes
I’m honestly shocked people still want to see McGregor so badly, his run was historical, just a meteoric rise! Before he entered the UFC, he clearly stated what his goals were; win the 145lb strap, and win the 155lb strap, and be the first person to hold both at the same time, and then leave in top. Despite his aspirations seeming so surreal, he accomplished all of that, and only had to walk away to cap it all off. But he failed to walk away, and everything since has diminished his star power greatly. For his own sake I would love to see him just hang it up, because him going out there and not being at the same level he once was, is damaging his legacy and accomplishments, even though it shouldn’t. What he did can’t be taken away, but people’s perception of him can be. He’s clearly not the same person, he’s clearly doing steroids, yet people want to see him get back to that same heights he was once at, which is truly impossible. Say his heart is still in it, his mind clearly isn’t. All the nonsense out of camp he does, it couldn’t be more evident that he’s got one foot in and one foot out at this point.
Derek looks big again. there was a couple pods he was on where his delts looked like they could quite possibly belong to a human. glad to see they’re back to their celestial status
@@ChucksSEADnDEAD A comeback in this sense, means being able to compete again at the same level and coming back to the sport. He did exactly that and if you had watched the fight, you would have seen that he was doing extremely well when taking his huge layoff into consideration. The leg was not the issue for his loss.
It really doesn't take much for most people, especially since you were used to seeing him dehydrated and about 20lbs lighter than his walk around weight. TRT patients who work out can typically see around 20-25lbs of muscle added just in the first year of taking it, and TRT is typically dosed at 150mg per week. As Derek stated in this video, your typical "starter kit" cycle for someone who wants to bodybuild and run gear is 500mg of test per week, and a lot of guys will toss a daily 25mg of oral anavar on top of that since var is notorious for being light on sides.
If i had my leg broken like conor...tried to stand on it and carry on fighting and then realised ahhh shite this is not gonna happen anytime soon....id probably be taking cocktails of drugs to recover aswel. People choose different methods for all sorts of scenarios. 😬🍀
Yeah tbf, Conor doesn’t have to fight so if I was in that position, I’d rather my leg healed properly and maybe get suspended by usada, than not be properly healed for the rest of my life
A TUE (theraputuc use exemption) would make sense for Connor. Burn victims are given steroids to help healing. It's not abnormal. Ma be a TUE was possible but jusdged to be worse publicity than just exiting the pool.
Derek becoming a regular just proves this is a simulation where all my aspects of life are colliding. Does the steak taste like steak or is it just numbers 😂
Really like Derek mpmd, I just think he is a very thoughtful, very self aware, articulate person. Loved his video a few years ago on GHB and things that bodybuilders do for gains. I don’t know much about competitive combat or lifting but am fascinated by the things that athletes do to beat drug tests. The netflix “Icarus” was fascinating to me. Also I heard mdmd mention that guys could abuse amphetamine, I had no idea that is a compound that fighters would use. Is there performance enhancing components? Can anyone who trains or knows about this answer that? I’m trying to think of situations where amphetamine would be useful other than cutting weight.
Just look at Mike Mentzer. He used methamphetamine as a pre-workout. Pre-workouts are loaded with stimulants. Infact, in the early 2000s a pre-workout called Jack3d was famously removed from shelves for having a compound that was almost chemically identical to methamphetamine. Think about the little 90lb tweakers you've seen fighting off 10 cops and flipping cars and shit. If you smoke meth before a workout you're going to be able to bring a lot more intensity and move a lot more weight than you normally would, which means increased muscle stimulus and as a result - better gains over time.
I think if someone breaks a bone they should not only allow tb500 bpc157 and HGH but have their own drs and surgeons to prescribe and administer these drugs in office. They should make them sit out for a set amount of time based off the typical recovery time for that injury. Then add an appropriate amount of time post drug use to clear the system and not have any performance enhancing effect. This should be in every sport. Athletes should have access to the same level of care as everyone else. Have usada administer the drugs themselves. But let them heal
0:23 for anyone who wants to actually know: they aren't doing any testing outside of the state commission testing. The organization is essentially a shell company to say they have an in-house body monitoring drug testing. As of now the only rules on books post USADA is state commission testing.
BPC157 is amazing for injuries and also if like me have had pancreatitis and GI issues. Obvs get proper meeical advice from a medical professional, preferably private because NHS is a joke.
The real problem is the PIO and then micro dosing CBP. When they come off the sauce there's way too many metabolites for the MJJ to do the PPP and CCC and JJJ.
i just dont understand people saying he was on steroids like it was some big secret and they caught him lol he snapped his leg in half most people can never walk properly again sometimes they have to get amputated thats how serious that break was....of course you go on steroids to help recovery. hes one of the most tested and clean fighters the UFC has had.
I firmly believe that these athletes should be able to utilize all medications "drugs" needed to heal when they sustain injuries. it seems to me Conor done it right and was able to due to his status financially and within the UFC. I think all fighters should have that option. it's what's right, I mean look at Chris Weidman, he could've gotten much, much better treatment and been healthier in his life even after he was done with fighting
@@user-iy3gb1sp2w agreed but some fighters are afraid they'll loose their careers because the area is very Grey and as of now you gotta have ridiculous money for the Dr's and the medicine to do it properly. my point is folks like Chris Wiedman were to scared to get the proper health care using those medications or "PEDs" there is still a stigma and a more sound monitoring system needs to be put in place, a new one
Bro they will do that. That's what they do in all the major leagues. The problem is where do you draw the line. Guys like lebron will get random groin injuries as they start to drop off and reup and that's within policy.
People think steroids are hgh are the same and they’re the ones being ignorant to the science. This stuff heals and these athletes make millions and gotta save their job, plus why the fuck wouldn’t we have this stuff available it’s a god send to have human growth hormone lmao. Fuck outta hereeee lol
It’s so funny when Joe pretends he doesn’t know the ins and outs of the business lmao Joe is Dana’s boy he knows all but I get it he can’t talk about certain things
Derek wore a jacket in his first appearance, long sleeve in the second, now he's wearing a t shirt. We are dangerously close to seeing Derek's delts in the next visit.
The Bible is truth. To understand this you must do the inner work Jesus Christ taught. It all starts with forgiveness from the heart. Start by finding the grievances we all build up with our parents. They have generally raised fed loved us to some degree. Looking inside, realizing that they are people who make mistakes too, and genuinely forgiving them everything shows an important aspect of your soul to God. Genuinely mean absolute forgiveness inside your heart. This is key. To be forgiven we must forgive. This step teaches you why Jesus Christ is lord, and why you need to break down to him and ask for forgiveness. Afterwards read Genesis, Mathew, and one book of the Bible you chose yourself. These four steps have important spiritual significance and are like milestones within our souls. Please trust me. Genuinely open your heart up to God. It is all true. Jesus Christ is the way truth and life. 😊
Ultimately it depends on if you are paying for some good "lab" and doctors to work with you, vs getting it from wherever Looking at what soccer and rugby players do to improve and recover after their injuries should point people in the right direction.
@@Yinyankstankyeah but this is after a big serious injury, the longest time out of the sport and lots of leisure time enjoying himself. Has to be thinking whether it's worth getting injured again. The only thing will be leaving on a loss that might bring him back.
@@GK-qc5ry true he’s never going to be the same but the man will come back and fight I know that for a fact he hasn’t needed to fight again since the mayweather fight but he still tries to remain as active as his lifestyle permits. He spends so much money hopefully that’s why he still needs to make more lol.
The UFC drug policy is meaningless because they still have to abide by sanctioning bodies to legally hold events in the US and most of the first world. Pro wrestling isn't a real competitive sport so there's no federation or athletic comission overseeing the "fights". Unless they plan to do everything from Abu Dhabi from now on, their internal drug policy cannot save them from external oversight.
I'm with Joe, they need to allow guys a little leniency on recovery supplements. Combat sports, even football costs such a major toll on your body. Most people have no idea what constant high-level training does to your body, let alone getting repeatedly hit and/or slammed by pro athletes during and event, or post-injury recovery. You don't put regular gas in a Nascar, or take it to a Jiffy Lube between races.
As former world champion highland athlete, there an incident where woman multiple world champion highland athlete changed to Olympic weightlifter and was busted for steroids. The Highland Games association wanted to take away all her titles. She threatened to sue the organization because they never tested any athletes. Saying she competed in organization that never said it was drug tested organization. It just went away and she never got any of her titles and records rescinded nor an asterisk placed before any titles or records. For years I ran into her at competitions and in morning she had five o’clock shadow and voice two octave lower than mine. Everyone knew she was on gear but no one said anything except in whispers behind her back. It’s funny that she made it all the to nationals in weightlifting and was tested and had two year ban. I guess after completing in non tested organization she thought she was above the law. I mean her name was plastered on inside on inside cover of the weightlifting magazine of people that were busted.
Bless those ginormous Asian Fighters. Mrs Choung was overwhelmed. She loved the snow borders. The Prada Ski hat was nice.Wing Stop almost couldn't stop.
