As a recovering addict and powerlifter I felt this big time. Everything Pete said about being a slave to the needle and feeling invincible in my twenties relates to opiate use as well. I feel so much healthier as well! 16 months clean!

100% agree. Being s former IFBB athlete the need to always be on was more important then anything else.. Then the reality sets in when always trying to find sources and how clean they were. Needless to say majority of underground "toilet" made mixes made me sick and then you realise you can't stay on this roller coaster forever. Don't rely on drugs to give you that feeling of power you have that power inside you instead getting it from a bottle... Your health is your greatest asset don't risk it on these drugs,they are not worth it..

@Peter Lane I stay in the gym. I was a fairly decent natural powerlifter before my addiction. 610 deadlift, 560 squat, 300 bench. All natural. Tore my hamstring deadlift and had surgery. Pain killers from that is what started my drug use. My numbers are getting close to that again and I train 5 days a week. I don't need to be told to be there because that's where I am home
Man I can't explain how much more I respect someone like you, who is open and transparent about their PED use, compared to someone famous and huge who posts a shitload of content while COMPLETELY avoiding even mentioning the subject. Hope you continue to enjoy your journey that's what its all about for me.

They do because their sponsorships would drop them. Relax.
This is how my epiphany to stop powerlifting was. After being in intense physical pain for 3-4 years. Bodybuilding style training is so fun and doesn’t irritate my joints the same way that bench/ squat/ deadlift did

Man this is spot on. After the war I got out of the corps and had no outlet for how I was feeling. I watched bigger stronger faster too and deemed anabolics “safe”. Started powerlifting and it really gave me sometning to work towards physically and mentally and put me in a much better place. Started watching your basement tapes and started juicing at 25. I loved it, it was all I cared about. Turned 30, had my first child, realIzed I had a purpose to remain on this earth and came off everything. Training now consists of lifting, Rucking, running, and more functional athletic fitness. The other thing most guys probably won’t admit is that our bodies don’t tolerate or respond to the anabolics the same at 30 as we did at 25 or younger. You start to see more side effects and feel like shit most of the time and it becomes a balancing act of pills and shots and ancillaries. You’re the man Pete, wish you all the best !
Love these type of videos man keep it up 💯 👌
Thanks bro! Good video
Good video bro. Nice to see you post more
Excellent video Pete. Good luck with the T levels, hope things continue to improve for you.
Good vid thanks Pete
Been a long time since I reached out bro!! great video! Sounds like you're doing better than ever man!
Great video brother…You made a lot of solid points in this video. Glad to see all is well and you are feeling healthier.
Great video Pete. Hyped for the new content you're bringing.
Dude, you are awesome. Thank you for your insight
We love you Pete! The uploads are great, huge support here dude
Good to see you posting again Pete!
Great message Pete
Thank you for this!
Awesome video, love to hear more of your wisdom after a decade+ of this stuff.
Great video Pete. Always appreciate the transparency.
very excited to see your natural progression in the coming years.
Thank you for spreading awareness in the fitness industry. Keep up the good work!
i love these kids of vids man , mad respect for u
Good for you man. Keep up with spreading this message. More people need to hear it
Good info man thanks for sharing!
Pete man , Been following you for like 9 years now , love that you have been real since the start. Good stuff man , Thanks for the video.
Really appreciate you Pete. Went through the same thing.
Been here since the basement days and still absolutely love your channel, excited to see the new chapter
These videos are dope. I have a lot of respect for you Pete
Proud of your progress Pete!
Glad you’re doing well Pete and I’m glad you’re continuing to lift and just being more mindful of your health that’s great!
Great content Pete
Good stuff Pete
This is something a lot of people need to hear. I think John Meadows passing really shook up the community a bit to show that an inherently dangerous habit can only be controlled so much.
Thanks for your honesty.
Good for you, Pete!
Tons of respect for the transparency!
Another great video!
Good work mate. Good decision to come off it. Keep it up.
Awsome Pete, now you're the really big man to yourself and to your family. Wish you the best, have fun with your journey.
Hi there Pete, I'd just like to thank you for making these videos and talking about your journey. You are an inspiration for me and I bet alot of other people out there in the world. I've been having hormonal issues myself and was put on testosterone for a year and a half after I had wrecked my own levels with an eating and training disorder. I've now been off testosterone for almost 2 years and my own production has recovered, however I'm still not where I want to be in regards to how I feel so the thought of jumping on treatment is constantly with me, but seeing you and the mentality you have is refreshing and inspiring. Thanks Pete, keep it up!
One of your best videos in a long time Pete. Your speech was incredible and very easy to relate to from your from your perspective. We all love and admire your new journey and you still have juicy traps haha
I'm glad you're still training, and you ENJOY it. I've known so many guys over the years(I'm 62) who decided to go clean and then never want to train again. I've watched a few of your vids now and even if you're critical of something, you don't ever come across as having an ax to grind or a "crusader for the cause". You're the kind of person the industry needs more of.
Glad to see you taking better care of yourself Pete! 💪💪💪💪💪
Great video, Pete. Been watching you since the basement days. We’ve lost too many people in recent years and it’s fantastic that you’re prioritising your family and health. You can still lift heavy weight while off gear. And weighing around the 220s is still impressive as hell!
Mentally addicting more than anything it’s been hard getting off but your videos and Bostins were a wake up call

Most people who take steroids have mental health issues. Typically low self esteem in my opinion.
well said! you deserve my subscription man...
Really good video Pete
I have so much respect for you for doing this Pete. Keep at it and enjoy life with your family!
So refreshing to hear this type of information, keep up the good work Pete.
I’m so happy for you and your health Pete stay safe and continue to educate the youth I still remember the bit you gave me here at obtain and I will carry that on for the rest of my life
Great job!
Nice video pete
Damn bro. Literally just found your channel tonight and I'm a 26 yo natural intermediate lifter. It's amazing to check out your journey on your channel, seeing your impressive feats of strength at a young age but also observing how much you've matured. Also big props to you for being so openly transparent about your anabolic usage, especially awesome considering how old so many of those videos are. Instant sub!
Smart man. I've been clean since 08. Still banging heavy. Much respect
Much respect!!
Proud of your decisions and wishing you the best on your life journey Pete.
Loving the frequency of these uploads
Such an important message and so impressive that you were able to give it up, most guys are way too addicted to ever stop.
I just wanna say Well Done pal well done, I'm only 5 minutes into this and I was one of the ones questioning why you stopped back then. When you run through all the reasons why you stopped I'm sat here agreeing with you now on it all because thats now the way I am feeling about being on gear. It does become physically exhausting maintaining big strength levels and trying to go beyond constantly - and you can only maintain these levels by constantly pushing steroids every damn day :-(
I understand your sentiments Pete and Christ bless your honesty man
much respect brother
Much respect. I remember seeing you when you were pushing hard and thinking you had to be pushing the limits. Very impressive numbers but also it takes a toll. I am coming off hard use myself for bodybuilding. It is hard. I went on Trt but feel good. I own a supplement store called TGB Supplements and a supplement company called iron forged nutrition. We have a testosterone product that I would give you to try. It has all of the ingredients you mentioned. It is called Kingpin. If you want to try it let me know I will send you one. I also have a podcast called the anabolic cartel podcast. I would love to have you on and talk about this topic because a lot of people Need to hear it. Your health is more important in the end. I love anabolics as much as anyone but each person has to find their own path but your story is good to hear
This is super interesting, thanks for sharing a different prospective
Hey Pete. Long time fan. It makes me weirdly proud to see you taking this route. I think a lot of us in our early 30s have been through similar things. From being hyper focused, ambitious, aggressive, impatient, reckless to calmer, wiser, more considerate. This has probably been a transition for all time history but just the vices are now called oxys or tren or whatever.
Great video! Respect! It's cool that you still enjoy lifting after coming off, that's got to require some mental adjustment. Even as a natural it's hard to get excited about lifts you know you're probably not going to hit your former prs in.
Blessing & prayers to you and your family.
Thanks for sharing
You're a savage Pete, but more than that you're a insightful and smart dude. Thanks for sharing your journey.
I don't miss steroid : 1- they're illegal 2- pining like a junkie sucks 3- insomnia / hair loss /mental issue sucks 4- being off sucks 5- losing all gains sucks 6- living for the next cycle sucks 7- i started lifting to be in shape, not to take steroid 8- i hate tren

Well… putting all steroids in the same category as tren isnt correct anyway.
I've been watching your videos for the better part of a decade and I've gone through all the same shit at all the same moments 🤣 this video was perfect timing for me. Been off about 6 months and I feel way better. Lifting 4 to 6 days a week for health and started jiu-jitsu, and I just feel like...that heart attack is moving further and further away. Hopefully it'll be gone
This needs to be said. More guys need to follow your lead. I've been taking steroids for a while and it is taxing on your body and mind.. with that said it's hard to come off as well. It's a tough mental battle but if you can overcome it you will be better. But your right always chasing that next number is mentally draining. Wish I never went down that road. Thanks for the video
Been watching you since a decade ago. Love to see your journey brother, good on you, God bless you & your family.
great advice, God bless you
You're one of the few that has actually quit congratulations I've never used but everyone I know that has it's become a lifetime thing for them the fact you've come off everything with your numbers going down is something to be proud of you have a strong will and you're thinking straight all the best going forward great vid and message...
100% spot on Pete
Glad to hear you got off them! Knew you'd dropped off a bit on the scene and figured something had happened, glad to hear you're living a healthier life. See all these late teens early twenties guys putting up near 1000lb squats and deadlifts and looking 40-50 years old. All that damage for a number no one will remember in 3-5 years.
Good for you man! I have known about you since the lui Marco interviews. Sincerely all the best brother!
Great video, thanks for sharing and serving the future generation
Good for you bro. Takes a big man to step away and go even without TRT. Much respect
You accomplished a very hard task. Great work
I remember when I was 17 and asked my brother when you get off steroids do you stay big? He said “no!” Well I said forget that then! So thankful for that decision now that I’m 42. Can still do everything, healthy as, loving life and still lifting!
Well done, sir.
This video is excellent. I hope more people see it.
It s an awesome video thanks Pete 🙏🏻 by the way I saw you very calm and fresh after ped s
You’re a man’s man homeboy God bless you.
Your honesty is astonishing. If only more of your peers were as brave as you.
Dam what the fuck ? You look so much younger, been a sub since the “tren Pete” days, good to see you’re well and happy dude
Love the insight. I couldn’t agree more.
Pete, can you do a video on how your blood work was affected by PEDS and what you’re still working to improve in that regard, please? Excellent content, man.
Sounds like this was recorded in between fights at a UFC watch party lmao, love the content Pete!
maybe kind of like a weird comment, but the communication flow was so on point...i can see you're really connected to this whole subject. and wise decision comin off imo. stay strong man, been following you for years.
It's important to adapt, and i think wherever you shift that focus, you'll notice huge success, same as you did powerlifting
Hi Keith. I love the honesty and truth in your videos. Are you doing anymore videos with Leo and longevity?
Here’s one thing I know for sure, we all love Pete, always have, and as a father and husband I’m so happy to see your progression you’ve made in your personal life.
Solid advice
I feel you 💯. I came off of a decade of blast cruise lifestyle and have never felt better both mentally and physically.
great video pete as always natty is the way to go i believe you can hit 400 lbs bench and 700 lbs deadlift take your time sir
