@@ncramz1662 I agree and i think its very deliberate hes does not talk about his steroid use, ever. Steroid usage somewhat contradicts his whole "enlightened lifter" shtick and car talks. Everything he says is still important dont get me wrong, i enjoy his videos, but steroids are a major part in why hes big and maybe he thinks that would hurt his image and bottom line if he would acknowledged that. In reality, at least to me, it does hurt his mr nice guy and gym bro image, because being open about roids and their negatives when you take them is important, otherwise you will impact your mostly young viewer-base negatively, because none of his fans will ever get as big as him without them, but sam is portraying something else differently to younger fans, work as hard as him and you will get big, which just isnt true.

There´s some Jesse videos that are only for views or enterteinment, but videos like that are the ones that make me wanna subscribe even again, Excellent message.
By far the best video you've made yet. People vastly underestimate just how dangerous steroids can be, how bad of an influence influencers can have, and why it's vital to max out one's true potential before making any potential regrettable decisions.
Greg is a real one for talking about something nobody on the internet will be willing to talk about.

Bro I love this video, between 19 and 21 years old I took steroids and it messed up the way I would look at myself so when I got off it was hard because libido immediately shot down, I had to regain my confidence again and get used to being natural and normal. No matter what even if you're taking trt you cannot stay on a cycle that long you have to eventually come off. The psychological affects after you take them will definitely change your perspective. The key is to love yourself, not damage yourself.

I was on TRT for a year but I did have “valid” reasons. My testosterone was at 215mg. I believe normal range is 264-915. While on it, I really did feel incredible. I also gained mass like crazy(obviously). I ballooned to 215 at 5’11. After being typically in the 184-190 range. But the mood swings affected me and my wife and she hated it. Especially being the one to pin me twice a week. I got off it and last time I got my blood drawn, I was at 450. While not high, it’s definitely not where it was(I still don’t know why I gained 200mg, after being off it for the last 8 months). I will say, though the first 2 to 4 weeks were horrible. My anxiety was heighten, so bad, and I was getting panic attacks at work nonstop. I did feel like my Blood pressure was higher as well, which I HATED that feeling. Now everything is normal but I don’t feel that “crazy rush” I did while on it.

This is such a crazy take on TRT. TRT is literally prescribed as a hormone replacement therapy that is intended to be taken long term, even lifelong. You can come off, but cycling TRT is literally pointless. Cycling test, which is the same drug, but not for the same reason, is what you’re talking about. TRT is for people struggling with T levels… test is for idiots wanting to cycle. TRT is quite literally regarded as a drug that should be used indefinitely lol

I've always wanted to see a legit show/study like the Biggest Loser, but about gains. Showing basically how much of a change and improvement you could make with the right knowledge of your diet. Just like a 6 month thing where your Macros are tracked and met every day and with a custom workout plan for you just to show actual results. I think something like that would be a hit and show people you can actually achieve amazing results done right with the right knowledge and determination.
