Are These Influencers Lying About Steroids?

Описание: The Internet thinks both of these influencers are lying about being natural. And I’m not a fan of fake natties, so I came up with a plan. I told them to fly out to film a workout together, but, at the last minute, said I’d like to blood test them (with only 48 hours notice). I’d measure their testosterone levels, compare them to mine, and see whether they fall within the natty range… or not.

Let’s start with Hussein. Everyone thinks he’s on steroids because of this transformation, which took him just… 3 years to achieve. Definitely suspicious, so let’s see…

Most natural lifters fall somewhere between 200 and 850 ng/dL. I’m at 470 right now. Guys who enhance will often go well above 5000. Hussein came in at 689.

Julian is a whole other animal though, especially at just 19. And, going in to the blood test, I was honestly very skeptical about his natty status.

His testosterone came back at 672. All their other hormones were normal too. It’s always possible someone’s used in the past, but he wants to be Mr Olympia one day, so if he really is natural now and starts enhancing in a few years, we might look back on his physique and think, maybe he just was 1 in a billion.
