Oooooh steady on Jase! steady! Steroids? bit controversial this one haha! I speak my mind, always have and i always will, and i make it my goal on Herobody to always remain honest and truthful, and to raise awareness and educate those who want to learn. That’s the Herobody way, i just ask myself what would superman do? you know, apart from unnecessarily leveling an entire city with complete disregard for the safety of others whilst killing thousands of innocent people in the process and causing millions worth of collateral damage. But what is my opinion on steroids? well this may actually surprise you.
for starters lets just be clear, Herobody is not a drama channel, i’m not here to try to make a name for myself by calling out those with more popularity than me, i mean come on, i’m not vegan gains (oh the irony, did you see what i just did there?…..ok never mind). I’m just here to provide good, honest, applicable information to people who want to know the truth about how to get in to shape, how to build muscle, how to burn fat, stop people getting ripped off and im not afraid to call out bullshit when i see it.
i give fake natties a lot of shit, for those who don’t know what a fake natty is, its essentially somebody who takes steroids, but then tell everybody that they are ‘all natural brah’! now this is absolutely fine for your local gym rat, or even somebody who perhaps works for an employer who has a zero tolerance on drugs, i live in the real world so i understand this that’s fair enough. the problem with fake natties however is when this person then uses there impressive physique, attained through years of drug use, and tries to claim to beginners, gym noobs, and people who don’t know any better, that the reason they look the way they do is all because of this magic supplement they have been taking! this is absolutely disgusting!
I also wrote a program for beginners and people who struggle with there diet, the Herobody lifestyle program, (which specifically explains how to build muscle and how to burn fat for people who are not on steriods) and the reason why i make comment to the fact that this information, and other advice i give, is for natural (non steroid users) is not at all for the purpose of belittling steroid users, or showing off because i am natural myself (even though i am proud of what i have achieved naturally and i will not apologies for that), or out of any other kind of hatred or Jealousy, its purely for 1 simple fact and 1 only…….. BECAUSE WHEN YOU DON’T TAKE THE STEROIDS THE RULES ARE ENTIRELY DIFFERENT!
Its true, the rules for enhanced and natural athletes are completely different, and that is sometimes the problem because little Joe Bloggs looks up to his favorite professional bodybuilder and tries to replicate his actions, his diet, his training program, but it just isn’t going to work because its an entirely different ball game. let me give you a few examples;
Eat big to get big – if you are natural this is just completely untrue, your body has a limit to the amount of muscle it will put on at any one time any excess calories after this are only going to contribute to unnecessary fat gain. so this is not how to build muscle optimally for a natural athlete.
No pain no gain! – again, if you are natural then there is only so much work load you can put in at the gym before you just stop getting any additional results, so natural athletes trying to kill themselves in the gym because Arnold Schwarzenegger training for 4 hours twice a day doing quadruple drop sets doesn’t mean its going to benefit you, in fact quite the opposite, you will probably grow slower doing this and even hurt your self eventually
so i hope you can see now my only reason for even distinguishing the 2 is purely for educational purposes only when im trying to show people how to get in to shape.
So because of some of the topics i have written about before on social media regarding this subject, but not necessarily the act of just using steroids themselves, this has caused quite a stir in the steroid using community, which is actually taking what i’m saying on the matter completely out of context.
Now, as for my own personal opinion on steroid use, and will i myself ever take steroids? The truth? I couldn’t give 2 shits about what another grown man chooses to do with his body, it has no interest to me whatsoever, i’m not for or against, its not my concern. If you choose to remain natural and put the work in like the rest of us? fair play to you. if you are prepared to do what it takes and you choose to take steroids to achieve a goal that otherwise would not have been achievable naturally, then fair play to you as well. I’m a big believer in making educated decisions in life and the freedom to make your own choices and do whatever makes you happy as long as your not hurting anybody else, its that simple.
Now will i ever take steroids? If Marvel or DC call me tomorrow and say ‘Jase, listen, your not that good looking and you don’t even look like you lift, but for some reason people like you, so we want you to star in our next movie! and we are going to pay you 10 million pounds! we just kind of need you to put on 80lbs of lean muscle in the next 6 months” then the first thing i’m doing is googling ‘how much steroids can i take at once without dying?’ hahaha but no seriously, when it comes to drugs for me personally i’ve always been a bit of a nerd and proud of it, i don’t even like taking a paracetamol if i can help it! so i’m 100% natural and i intend on staying that way, its my passion for learning how the body works and the science behind building muscle and burning fat that got me in to this game in the first place and i love every bit of it!
but rest assured if i ever do wonder over to the dark side i will be 100% honest and upfront about it!
Am i team natural? hell yes! Am i proud of this? hell yes! Will there will banter occasionally because life just isn’t that serious and you maybe just need to stop being a little bitch? You bet your ass there will be! But just know once and for all i have no issue with steroids at all………………Crossfitters on the other hand………….. I’M JOKING!!………or am i…….
