Thanks To Our Guests:

Mike Israetel:

In this episode, Iron Culture attempts to bring an intellectually honest conversation to the emotionally charged topic of steroids. Hosts Eric and Omar are joined by John Meadows (@mountaindog1) and Dr. Mike Israetel (@rpdrmike) John is a well known and respected bodybuilder, who has been open about his steroid use. Dr. Israetel attained his PhD in Sports Physiology and has a very knowledgeable understanding of PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs). The hosts will explore societal attitudes around steroids, discuss why someone decides to use and contrast lifting as a natural vs being enhanced. The goal with this episode is to give different perspectives on a controversial topic and highlight the large similarities that exist between both parties. If you enjoyed the episode please consider giving us a rating/review on iTunes and let us know what you think below!

Creatine never helped me. I took all different brands and it never did anything. I actually did better not taking it.

How do you prevent the heart and kidneys from being damaged, and having to get 2 open heart surgeries like Arnold did at 50 years old?

Juice-head: my doctor does blood work three times per year. Same juice-head a year later: I’ve had a heart attack. 😂😂😂

I like this vid about the dark side of steroids. Why not do a vid on the good side of steroids when done correctly?

One has to have a lot of commitment to looking oneself in the mirror to exchange ball size for pecsize.

Do sent matter if you choose anabolic steroids whether you want to compete or not. Your choice. Period. A competition does not a bodybuilder make. 💪

If you aren't redlining on your genetic limit (1-2% I'd say) it's not the right time for gear. If you are, make your call. That's always been my opinion of it.

These guys are all awesome. No bad informations…excepting Omar's ridiculous AF creatine claims

I loved these heavy guys buttering each others, and rightly so. These must be the most reasonable guys in all of bodybuilding.

A kind of honest discussion about steroids, but it's mostly just another "don't do steroids kids" vid. Can't we send the kids out into the yard to play so that adults can have a real honest discussion?

RIP Mountain Dog. You talked about safe/responsible use of steroids, but for years, you always looked old at your age – as many users do after a while.

There should be a SEPARATE competition for people that don't use steroids.
