Joe, you should make longer videos about these topics. Videos like these are so informative. We would definitely watch them no matter how long they are!

People need more realistic expectations for what a real natural looks like, Joe is doing really well with his journey. People need to stop comparing themselves to fake nattys. Look at a natty lifter with 10+ years experience and compare yourself to that or a Eugene Sandow or a 1940s era bodybuilder who isn't on juice.

Very very very important video Joe. I salute you for speaking up on this issue bc I‘m very sure a huge amount of your viewers deal with struggling to put ok weight, struggling to impress themselves in front of the mirror and also struggling with being faced on a daily basis with those unrealistic „norms“ on social media. These people need role models like you who show the incredibly important other side of the anabolic-steroid-use. Very important message!

And with each gramm of muscle you gain your passive calorie burning gets bigger and bigger. Protein also helps with controlling hunger. Fibers can also help (so whole-grain food, lentils etc. instead of white bread, pasta and white rice and with protein-rich food like meat, eggs etc. - that way you should feel your body way more full for a longer time after eating).

Well done joe for making this. It's nice too see a younger person actually talking about it and trying to educate the younger social media youths. Unfortunately I think it will fall on death ears. However I applaud you for doing this. You should make more content about this.

I’m so glad you covered this subject. I go to a local leisure centre in Greater London and I know for a fact, listening and watching individuals around me that people are on it. They causally talk to one another about cycles, blood work etc. I’m older (42) and always tell the youngsters don’t bother. Stay natural. But Instagram and younger bigger dudes get their attention. So this video is so refreshing.

Big respect man everyone needed to hear this and you are the perfect person to do so. Love your stuff you are truly an inspiration to all the natural lifters out there! Keep grinding King 👑

But months and months on going to the gym, and still lifting the same weights made me think like "Should i take steroids? I'm very dissatisfied with my current body. I'm tired of lifting the same weights over and over again. Going to the gym 5x a week didn't even make any changes to my body". Then this video appears. Thankyou Joe, for reminding to me that natural is really the way, for reminding me that steroids ain't it.

Recently I've gone down into a rabbit hole in regards to steroids, body dysmorphia and body building. Reason being because of people I've dated who have a skewed idea on the ideal male body type. And just how vain they really were. Was with an army veteran who had complete body dysmorphia. We were on and off for a year. He would get in really good shape then drop off and go back to his dad bod which I preferered. He would show me pics of showmen bodybuilders and work towards that and it turned me off but I was supportive. His dysmorphia rubbed off on me for a bit but i snapped out of that. Months after started dating another whos currently in the army. Honestly had no idea he was juicing because he was so bulky rather than lean and shredded. I couldnt tell till I noticed little habits here and there among personal things. He also would workout twice a day, weigh his food, barely any quality time cause he was tired. Nothing sustainable for a long term relationship. Im done with these vain narcissists who cant find a balance. Not only that but I do feel bad for men who struggle with this its the equivalent to women getting plastic surgery. Just with worse short/long term effects.
