I want to clear up a bit of confusion. I tried to be careful with my words, but I clearly wasn't clear enough.

JEFF NIPPARD:  When I said that Jeff's video implied that looking steroidy was better, I know he didn't say it directly, and I can't read his mind—I don't know what he actually thinks. I do think the subtext is clear, though. When I spoke about it with other guys, they came away with the same impression.

For example, when one of the raters said that Seb, Spencer, and Brad looked "100% natural," Jeff responded that they'd been getting "roasted" all day. That kind of comment gives me the impression that Jeff thinks it's better to look steroidy. But I'm not talking about what Jeff thinks. I don't know what he thinks. I'm talking about the impression I got from watching the video.

I also think the whole premise of the video implies that looking steroidy is better. It's set up so that the steroidy side of the lineup is the "good" side of the lineup. The video is a tutorial about how to move towards that steroidy side. I know some people see it differently, and I get that.

GREG DOUCETTE: When I said that Greg Doucette "was almost certainly a fake natty," I didn't mean that he's currently a fake natty, I meant that he was a fake natty in the past.

If the news articles I showed are correct, he competed in a natural bodybuilding show, a natural powerlifting meet, a natural bike race, then got caught smuggling steroids, and then refused a drug test, which got him banned from bike racing. After getting caught, he started admitting he was taking steroids.

JAMES SMITH: When I said that James Smith "uses" steroids, I didn't mean that he "abuses" steroids. James Smith is on TRT (anabolic steroids prescribed by a doctor). I explained how I differentiate between steroid use and abuse at the beginning of the video, and I made sure to say he was a user, not an abuser.

I just want to look like goku

We need to push the fact that women find taking steroids unattractive harder

Your pushback against the disillusionment caused by social media fitness content, and the gap between online consensus and real-life experience, is refreshing and much needed. For too long, the disparity between what’s portrayed online and the goals of everyday people has gone unacknowledged.

The reality is that having slightly above average physique will make you instantly fall into the “nice body” category for 99% of all human beings. Because, as it turns out, even looking moderately strong and a healthy BF is pretty aesthetically pleasing.

17:25 "you've entered in to a competition of who can take more drugs and not die with people who aren't afraid to die at thirty"

Bro condensed modern body building and Strongman with one sentence. This is a phenomenal video, keep making more. Subbed.

Bro, you give such a chill vibe.

This is too fking based "the impression of abusing steroids, instead of using them for medical reasons". Absolute cinema 🖐🗿🖐

Squat 2 plates and bench 3 plates is crazy. 😆

I am still a little shocked with the two guys comparison with one on seven years of steroids. He looks a generation older now. Went from looking like brothers to father and son.

Also the fact that Spencer was rated as the most attractive by almost half of the women in your survey and that together with Seb they have pretty much 3/4 of the top1 votes is somewhat surprising but also very optimistic for the guys who just lift to look good. You can achieve that with 2-3 gym sessions per week, eating healthy based on 80-20 rule and no drugs or other major restrictions. You can also spend the time you save on not going for the "steroid look" on other ways of self improvement that will make you not only more attractive, but also probably happier.

Fitness channel I need. I grew up thinking Tobey McGuire's Spider-Man and Daniel Craig's James Bond were ideal male physiques. Bigger wasn't always better, and I still think that

bro keep uploading, your videos seems super interesting and informational, you are also super chill and knowledgable, more genuine dudes in fitness Youtube.

This guy has such a calm, non-patronizing, non-judgemental, and polite tone.

6:20 think height might be playing a role here

i think this is the most honest and thoughtful video abt male beauty standards ive seen in a while. i think the use of feminist parallels was very smart, and i have heard a ton of guys parrot this complete myth that women "say they like dad bods but really mean guys on steroids." I think a lot of men view male beauty standards as something imposed on them by women, when whats really happening is just the age old story of marketing fitness products to people by convincing them to be insecure.

I think another reason why people like jeff are popular is that while you might not want to get a physique like his, the fact that he got it implies that he might know his shit, so by following his advice you’ll more easiky achieve your dream physique

As long as you are referring to dinner plates, yes, I can do everything you mentioned.

As always, I really like your measured and intelligent response to things.

11:02 rest in peace
