Testosterone was first synthesized in 1935, so bodybuilders before then were all natural. Eugene Sandow and other early pioneers built impressive muscle without steroids, and modern lifters have far better tools: the internet, gyms, nutrition apps. You can get bigger naturally than you think.

What is up everybody? So today I want to talk about an interesting topic, and that's how big can you get without steroids. Let's get it started. Alright, so first off, Eric Helms and Omar Isuf, or Bro Mar Isuf as I should say, two great guys, and they did really good videos on this topic, but I just wanted to pass on the message to my subscribers and give my input on it too. So what actually sparked me to do this video is I came across an internet forum and it was a load of people discussing this guy's physique. And of course, you know, everyone in the forum was, "Oh yeah, fake natty, fake natty bro, can't get that without steroids, mate." And quite frankly, I just find that whole attitude that you can't get big without steroids, I just find it so demotivating. The dude's physique that they were discussing wasn't even that impressive. So let's go back in time and discuss a bit about the history of steroids. Basically, the first ever steroid, exogenous testosterone, was produced in 1935. Before then, they didn't exist, it wasn't on the cards. So anyone before 1935 is 100% natural. And it didn't even become available, widely available to the public until the late '40s, early '50s, so steroid use was still quite unheard of at that stage too. So now let's look at some pictures, pictures of bodybuilders that were taken before 1935. So there's no question that these guys were natural. First up, we got Eugene Sandow. Check out them shreds, mate! Them six-pack abs, them fake natty 3D delts. How about some Bobby Pandor? Holy quads, Batman! Check out them separations! How about some Ernest Cady? Truly sickening triceps. Rowley Winklaar gonna be jealous as hell. Also, keep in mind that cameras sucked back then. These photos look like they were taken using a potato, so they probably look better in real life. Also, nowadays we got Instagram filters. But here's the kicker. This is what I want to add to discussion. Nowadays we have so much more resources. We have the internet nowadays. Back then, the only internet they had was the lining on the inside of their swimming shorts, if even. These days you can Google anything you want and you'll find it. But seriously, there are countless books and websites providing you with an abundance of information about training and nutrition. We have gyms full of equipment, more equipment than you would ever need. We even have apps that will count how much food we're eating. We even have supplements that make things even easier. I could really go on and on about how easy we have it nowadays. So you could say that we could get a better physique naturally than the, than the physiques that I just pictured. So I hope you enjoyed today's video. The main reason I made it is to motivate people and to get people out of the mentality that you need steroids to get a great physique. What people are lacking these days is really just effort and commitment. But I hope you enjoyed anyways. Have a good weekend, uh, don't forget to like, comment, subscribe. Keep it real.
