Yeah he obviously wants to discourage gear use but he is completely honest about the benefits too. I think every kid should see this. Kids often dont care about negatives cause all their live theyre been told all the fun and nice things are bad for you (sweets, drugs, video games). But in honesty we should give kids more credit, show them the full picture and let them make their own judgement. If their willing to sacrifice aspects phyisical and mental just too look bigger, but it gives them true happiness and they arent causing harm (competing in sports against natural competitors, lying about being natural and selling products) then i cant really blame them.

@@seanlee566 I don't like the message that it should be acceptable and beyond reproach to use a substance that is not only bad for your health, but from a psychological point of view too, just because it makes you happy, that doesn't mean it should be illegal, but it would be like saying "drinking alcohol makes me happy, I live being tipsy or drunk, I need my daily drinks, it's how I like to be", that is not illegal in our society yet that person is still a degenerate drunk, if you need an external substance that is transitory in your life to be happy then there is something wrong with you that should be addressed, and I see it as something perfectly valid to be criticized, I can't consider that true happiness in the same sense that being a drunk, or being fat, using drugs won't give you true happiness. Yes, life is easier if you are on PEDs, you are much bigger and stronger, people will respect you more, men will respect you and won't fuck with you, women will desire you, but said true happiness is transitory and not real, it's not the person acomplishment, it's the PEDs since without them he would have never gotten to that point, it would be like if you could take a PED that makes you 2.1 meters tall(with regualr complexion rather than being a twig) and you like the fact that you are bigger, stronger and get more attention from women and respect from men, but enough of it will kill you, you can only take if from a certain period of time and it's bad for you in the psychological level, life would be better being 2.1 meters tall as a man, but it's not real and it's not true happiness.

Wow man! Not only the fact that he's so open about his use but the fact that he explains himself so clearly and precisely and using such good analogies that you can understand even if you had no clue what it's like to be on gear. That's why I love Mike Israetel. Well spoken, legit my favorite teacher when it comes to anything strength and muscle related. Dr Mike if you ever read this, you changed my life and maybe saved it (?) "FOLKS, that's all from Renaissance periodization I'll see you in the next video on periodization for general strength." 😁

7:20 I experience the same feelings after having smoked weed for 8 years, and I'm 2 years sober now still experiencing this although it's pretty rare now. I could just be watching a TV show and out of nowhere I get this feeling of dizziness and then an overwhelming feeling of anxiety, tunnel vision and increased heart rate. Never happened until I stopped my extreme heavy thc doses. Probably different in various ways than what Mike experiences but definitely speaks to how certain compounds being absorbed by the human body can do a lot of harm, specifically mentally. People talk about mental health a lot and I feel like depression is the main subject of that topic but actual panic-inducing events that are more on the physical side of the brain are terrifying and suck too.

It's like having an out of body experience.. like, I'm watching myself do that set in a way.

Keep in mind what Mike said, the experience is very individual. I for one, had very few of the side effects he mentioned. In fact, every aspect of my life got better, not just physically. In a way, it's worse that way, because you can develop a love affair with the feeling of being on, which can lead to addiction. Long story short, respect what it is that you're putting in your body. Shit ain't a game.

I was also wondering that. Although you often hear that having higher testosterone boosts confidence, which is basically the opposite of anxiety, so could it also potentially reduce anxiety in some people? I don't plan on finding out first hand any time soon lol, but it is interesting.

@@derKischda Despite being an “old man” by sports standards, I’m relatively early in my strength training. I’ve toyed with the idea of going the enhanced route when my gains start slowing down, by the possibility of gear being like throwing gasoline on the fire of my mental health issues (anxiety, depression, PTSD, and above average flashes of anger), is one of the main turnoffs.

I have anxiety and have been using gear for 8 years. The feelings he is describing are from 19-NORs like tren and deca. Those really mess with your head. I only take test now, switching back and forth between a trt dose and 400-800mg 3 month l cycle. Test makes me feel great. All you need is test, don’t mess with anything else. Test is naturally made in our body

​@@IKI11Iit's naturally made in your body, therefore don't fucking inject that shit supraphysiologically unless you have insane genetics and want to compete in world top level sports or don't care about your young look, healthspan and lifespan. I know tons of guys who lift who are like 43yo and look 28, natty. I also know guys who are 28 and look 38, on roids. It's your own choice but it's usually a bad one. If you consistently lift intelligently for 10+ years you're gonna look better than 99% of the general population. You don't need to permanently fuck your body up and inject yourself with medicine for the rest of your (shorter) life for the beach or to impress people you don't know on the internet/gym.

Mike saying he is more anxious and uptight on roids is the exact opposite of what happened to me. I literally felt like I was 18 again and was just cruising through life feeling relaxed and confident in my ability to handle what my day would throw at me. Had less rage and anxiety on test E.🤷‍♂️

Ok, I feel like I'm on gear all the time: anger, insane frustration, even had a panic attack a few days ago. But I don't use steroids, barely have money for creatine. Sometimes I feel like frustration is going to kill me. One thing is very well pointed out: I feel like I don't have emotions. If I don't work out especially. It feels like something inside of myself pushing outside, leaving no place for compassion, fear, doubts. I try to feel something, but there is just nothing, just a desire for action. Probably I have just high testosterone. And I'm 30 yo.

@@pierre-yveschauvet5136 I don't think so, at least it's not the reason. Because what I describe (the acute feeling of low compassion and desire for action) doesn't happen always, but about 50% of my life. While sociopathic traits are persistent and can't be changed and removed so easily every week/month.

Dr. Mike. I've had bipolar for a long time and gear for me gave me kind of a predictable emotional standard. I still do therapy and take my meds and am pretty stoic understanding my emotions and reacting appropriately to a given situation despite how I feel. But the anxiety and aggression (I'm not an aggressive guy normally, so it actually presents itself very mildly). Can you bestow any wisdom for situations like mine long term? Since I've been doing it for over a year I've been very balanced I think. But with my meds like seroquel I worry about my cholesterol sometimes. Anxiety is real. But I can predict anxiety more than my other symptoms. Lmk! Loved the episode very informative.

Dr Mike said something on a Table Talk podcast with Dave Tate about how we negatively stereo type say a 45 year old man that wants to use hormones that knows what they are getting into. Watch it a couple of days after watching an interview with Elana Kreishere where at 18 she walked into a planned parenthood and with in 15 mins had a script for hormones and is praised. All of it is straight up madness to me.

Steroids don't "feel" like anything to me. I just feel normal again. I'm 39 and started suffering from low T. I take 400mg Test E per week and Winstrol 25mg/day. Definitely has helped me get my strength, endurance, and libido back.. but I don't feel superhuman or anything.. I just feel like I remember feeling throughout my 20s naturally. I could see high doses perhaps making you feel different, but I don't think it would be a good different for the most part. You'll probably feel like superman until your hormones start going crazy.

I think he purposefully talked more about the negatives. Also, the strength gains depend on individual response. In my 1st cycle, I was taking a flat dose of 5mg dbol per day and my bench press went up with 30 kg in 40 days.
