    Yeah it has changed things but not necessarily for the better. IMO it seems most of the youtubers are promoting what they are being paid to promote. Forums are still the best place to get real advice but it is nice having a video (youtube) to back up the claims such as making or fixing things.

    Exactly. Until the social stigma of steroids are gone, you tubers and tiktokers are mostly dishonest.

    Anyone heard of Jujimufu? He calls himself “the anabolic acrobat” but doesn’t talk about his cycles because he wants to stay famous. Rich Pianna died and most of the people alive making videos are lying about or omitting their steroid usage.

    If I want to see a video about form for a lift, sure YT is better. But not for everything.

    Yea they def lie about use and especially dose. But, think back about 10 years ago, and no one admitted they took steroids. At least now they admit use. The best YouTube channel or podcast I’ve listened to it’s the steroids podcast by Dan the bodybuilder. I think Tony Huge lies about dose for the same reasons the guys from the Golden Era lie about the low doses they took. It’s not safe and a good majority of the audience is more than likely teenagers. I know I would do the same thing… ya I only take one shot of test a week. (Even though that shot is a 5cc syringe)

    Why anyone would ever admit to use on ANY kind of platform is beyond me.

    Words right out of my mouth - although trying to get rid of texting and have people call me only.
    I no longer check my inbox. If you PM me I will not reply.
