The Truth Behind Natural Bodybuilding (Larry Wheels & Ryan Benson) 

Problem ain’t with people using steroids, it’s with people selling programs and training ideas acting as if they’re not on gear.

Nothing like 2 guys who have been on PEDs since young adulthood or earlier talking about natural bodybuilding

Man, Ryan Benson is just a chill ass dude! Love to hear him talk!

Wow, really enjoyed every second of this chat!! Ryan and Larry, what a fantastic combo 🔥 Can’t wait for more content 👏

loving this glad to say one of the first, can see big things happening to this account keep killing it

Best fitness podcast I’ve ever watched and listened to, very excited for what’s to come next with Larry wheels and his coach. To top this one podcast and the new gym is just extras, couldn’t be more impressed and thankful for the knowledge and wisdom.🙏🏻🥇🐐💯

This was a gem of a podcast! Very Informative!

Ryan is a cool a$$ dude! It's easy Larry to see why you became close friends with him and eventually go into business with One Gen together. This podcast is going to hit a million subscribers in less than a year. Please always keep Ryan on your podcasts and training collabs, I love his take and personality on things. He's from the old school no bullshit era. Thank's for the awesome insightful info on natural bodybuilding. You two are a great duo! Congrats on your fantastic one of a kind gym. I live only 28 miles away in San Bernardino, I must come over for a day pass and check out the world class equipment and hopefully meet you guys with a hand shake! #Respect #Salute🫡

Great duo 🔥 should keep these 2 in the podcast as well as bring in guests!

Amazing content, such great stories and honest no bs opinions. Wealth of knowledge, also great humor!

Much anticipated!

This interview was fire and confirmed some confidence in me for starting out skinny. lol But extremely insightful, I'm not even a body builder. Just a curious human, this was a great conversation, y'all have perfect chemistry.

Hype for this podcast, I'm the 341st subscription

Great podcast guys!! Keep it up.

Glad to be one of the first listeners!

I love the transparency of the whole podcast, really nice to see the other side

I didn’t know what to expect out of this, but it was actually pretty informative

I started at 17, 1981, 11 stone 5’8”. I’m now 60 years old 16 stone, 200kg bench, life time natural. The physique and strength will come with time. Most of the big boys I’ve known over the years are sick, injured or dead. I’m still pumping all be it with 20 and 30 year old roiders who don’t believe I’m natty. 😂😂😂

the best podcast i ever hear about bodybuilding ! ryan and larry are real asf

Thanks guys, love this insight in Natural bodybuilding. gives me a good perspective on my comp that I am competing in IFFB Natural Comp

2 minutes in & subscribed, 1st podcast I've ever subscribed! They are 💯 natural!... I meant real! 😂💪

Amazing one!

Please put these on Spotify guys!

Natural bodybuilding IS HUGE IN EUROPE whether you care or not Iron Man naturals? Never heard of it but go to the OCB or the INBA and they have strict test for naturals.

Make Coach Benson the co-host of the podcast! He's great

What a topic to kick off the new podcast.

This is gonna be a good pod

This pod was awesome 👌

Great podcast ❤

LOVE this .

Subbed!! Love ya larry

loved this video, glad to see someone saying the truth. Yes guys will get pissed, why? Ego. I comepete in drug free powerlifting, and even in this sport division I would say 50% are juicing. They just dont get caught. They have learned out how to pass the drug test. Then there are the guys who say well I am on TRT for my health. Well guess what, you are still on roids!! Period. You have a huge edge compared to a guy taking nothing. I also agree with what you said about almost all guys in a gym taking juice and its true. These guys dont know how to train, eat or anything properly. Guys ask me all the time if I am on. I just lie and say I put test in with my cereal in the morning. They wont believe that im on nothing. Never have. Been around it my whole life, just never took anything. Found I could hurt myself naturally, which I proved over and over. I am also not against it. I understand the reasoning behind taking it. As a society the get there quick is the mode for most. I tell guys this, learn how to train correctly for you, learn how to eat for you, how to think, how to manage your emotions, how to sleep. All of it, before you ever think about juicing. When you decide to juice get a good doctor who doesnt just say no, because you are going to do it anyway. A good doc who will take blood panels and be honest with you reading what your levels are saying. There are no safe ways to take them but there are safer ways. Be smart. Also if you are going into powerlifting, you weigh 220 and have been training for 5 years and you bench 325 correctly, guess what stay away from the juice. You dont have the genetics to be number 1. Just the truth

Great podcast

Amazing podcast

Good shit

The facts been said here at 39:50 need to be on a Billboard.

World champion natural bodybuilder here... would love to come on and ACTUALLY talk about being natural and competing 😊

Here we go

Doesn’t get more real than Larry, you are the fukn man!!! True role model

Finally a truthful podcast

Great video, definitely good stuff here! I do wish there was a bit more talking on the genetic component. There have been several people who have turned pro from the npc that are natural that aren’t in the limelight. Obviously to be an Olympia level competitor you will need to use. Thank you still for the information though!

Can you guys make this an actual podcast? As in available on Apple podcast , Spotify etc

I’ve been bodybuilding for 13 years drug free and a ton of people think lm on gear. The struggle.

JUS SUBSCRIBED,,,, THESE TWO ARE GREAT

Way to keep it real

Would be good if you put time stamps.

There are lifetime naturals such as Alberto Nunez from 3DMJ (Muscle Journey) and have an impressive physique but you can tell they are natural by how big they can get to a certain point that they never really surpass. Jeff Alberts from 3DMJ is also a natural and is very impressive.

Thanks for keeping it truthful guys. Not too many juice heads like to tell the truth about it

Great episode, Larry! I appreciate the insights from you and Ryan Benson. However, I have to respectfully disagree with the statement that there is no such thing as natural bodybuilding. As someone who is dedicated to peaking my physique naturally, I aim to become the face of natural bodybuilding and prove what can be achieved without steroids. To say there is no such thing as natural bodybuilding is to say there is no such thing as Shaun Fury. I will be competing as a natural bodybuilder for the next 8 years, and I’m excited to display the results of my efforts. Keep up the great content!

On a pro level you have to juice to compete. Thats why I never cared about going pro when I competed but as an amateur you can compete and look great if you can push yourself staying natural. I did tested shows and none tested shows and did very well in both. I feel that my football back ground helped me to have a great look that stood out. Do not listen to these guys saying nobody is natural. It’s a lie to make themselves feel better. I like bodybuilding but that world of folks be trippin big time. Also don’t never base your look off others I didn’t. Prefect your look for you and the benefits from that will amaze the hell out of you believe me.

It’s possible you can be 200LBS plus natural where you’d look bigger because of your structure and look unnatural to most because of the genetics, nowadays unfortunately most take shortcuts but there are some of us still left.

Will the podcast's be available on spotify as well?

Larry you’re going to get negative feedback from people regardless, just do you and focus on the endgoal. Alot of these people don’t even workout and are yelling from their computers at home without ever knowing or trying We see past it, just keep it pushing.

where can one obtain this gear?

Epic content from 2 gigachads

I love it when like people like Rodney Coleman say they were natural when they first started okay like you said nobody is natural

The fridge looks good but hearing a constant humming while trying to listen to a podcast is not ideal

I never took any PEDs. I was very strong, very muscular, vascular and lean. Was also able to run a marathon well. Never as big as the guys long term on roids though. Not even close. But: I also had disfiguring acne from 13 to 29 years old. Clean diet made it even worse. And an ugly aggressive looking face on top of that. Only alcohol reduced the acne and I developed a problem with it. Many people asked me if I was on gear. Now looking back, many people probably thought I was an ungifted person on steroids. Like there is no halo around you telling you are developed natty even if you are. Maybe I should have taken gear?

Finally

My friend said his doctor wrote to him 60mg test a week. Is it possible that he can have a good results.

605th sub

Man I could listen to this guy talk about bodybuilding and peds all damn day. Very intelligent soft spoken, doesn’t bring his ego or shit into play. Straight as hell shooters both of them

Keep your expectations in check if you are natural. No programme they sell you is going to make you look like them.

Larry appears to have trouble breathing between sentences

its sad what "bodybuilding" has become its like unless ur a certain weight or size u dont count as a bodybuilder. are those guys doing calisthenics in the park with super beutiful bodies not building their bodies?

❤❤❤❤

Feds watching this..lol

Simeon Panda is a genetic phenom but he has used or does use. No doubt about it.

My question is : where I can find somebody who can actually help me to get more info and tell me which will be good for me? I did run only 2 cycles of anavar and wanna do my third one . I do blood test but that’s it . Don’t have really nobody to educate me .

New favorite podcast

Sub 550 Awesome podcast guys

MIKE OHEARN LEFT UNFLUSHED DUCK EGG DIARRHEA IN GOLDS GYM BATHROOM

Who doesnt have a podcast now a days

I wish people thought i was on steroids. That would be the best compliment

Got to the 11-12 minute mark, when I heard the he’s „natty now” I lost interest. You’ve been running PEDs for years just because you stop at some point doesn’t make you „natty”. You’ve developed muscle using enhancements, you may have lost some of that muscle but you will always be enhanced. Some of that unnatural muscle mass will always stay with you and you will always have it easier regaining the muscle mass compared with never running a cycle. I’m not natural myself, but referring to a botched show from when you were SIXTEEN as a definitive proof natural bodybuilders don’t exist is a pretty damn short sighted conclusion for a mature man. They do exist, as well as organizations running competitions properly testing people but - you guessed it - they look a lot smaller and not very impressive (probably where we agree). But they do exist

Larry breathing hard AF…

Second

8:35 but i didnt take testosteronr and still have gyno so not everybody with gyno did steroids…

There's guys who don't take gear that look way better than guys with mid genetics who are on gear. I'm referring to the average gym rat. As far as olympia level, nobody besides the top 1% genetically gifted people look close to that. I will say though there are definitely people (Mostly african americans and people of west african lineage) that look better than people who are on gear and amatuer or even pro bodybuilders.

8:26 seems like Ryan has never heard of pubertal gyno

“My body was built to run on steroids” is the dumbest and saddest thing I’ve heard in bodybuilding so far.

First

The heavy breathing

This podcast will be huge !!! Sub 300 fam ❤

Look at the German bodybuilder Patrick teutsch all Natural

Lifetime Natty. It’s possible.

having gyno is a symptom of testosterone,but let's not forget the fact that people have gyno that occurs all the time outside that realm.

mikes sponsored by a hormone clinic😂

Almost every guy out there is on gear 100%

Does Ryan have Instagram? Can someone drop his user?

30:00 How in god sake can a body run with only protein and no fats?? Andwhat about nutritions? I hope he ate a lot of vegetables when he was on 800calories, and 800 is like starving calories for him how is this even possible.

If anyone’s known people who been to prison getting jacked naturally is possible, it just takes a very long time, keep pushing stay natural and don’t compare yourself to anyone else but the man in mirror 💪

full, ripped and especially vascular all year round tells us they are not natty, they cannot hide it when training, veins popping out their necks

Larry mogging on the thumbnail

I've been competing in natural feds since 1999. Never have I ever seen any thing like his experience. What a load of shit does one natural comp gives up 😂 then says everyone competing naturally is on .
