Ermmmmm I don't know who told you they are legal but they are 100% illegal. Someone who lives close to me got 4 years in prison days ago for possession.

Taking steroids just to look natural that most be painful
he said he takes 1mg per week thats nothing and wont build u big physique 99% influencers takes those doses to look "natural" only cos ur brainwashed @@rkoobi654
@@rkoobi654Jesse is 6’0 that guy must be 6’6 … as someone who is 6’8 I promise you being that big at that height is unnatural
jesse is 5'10 bro@@derekderek2570
@@rkoobi654 I am from the UK and am really surprised at how unimpressive they look considering the amount of years they have been taking 'steroids'. My picture is after 6 months messing about with weights and I was badly anorexic when I started. I guess I can stop worrying about wanting to take steroids after all. I am sure I will be fine without.
When the not natty guys look natural.. that's rough
steroids are not magic pills u wont grow to hulk overnight taking them also dose and genetics matters alot those ppls are taking lowdoses they wont get "big" with that
I'f you take just test you can still look very natural
if you are shit at eating and training then you will look shit no matter what you do. which is crazy because research shows that you can take steroids and do nothing but sit on the couch and gain as much muscle as a natty lifter.
Thats cause they get shit gear.
when ppls start roids they gain alot water not muscle those studies just shows fatfreemass gain@@xander4644

Up to 14 years for supplying. And you can't legally purchase in shops. Possession not being a crime does not equate to legalisation.
Like the dutch weed coffeeshops. You can buy weed from the shop, but its illegal for anyone to sell weed to the shop or grow it in commercial quantities. So how do the shops get their weed? Not in any legal way.
ah now it makes sense why he is in need for a "dealer"
Exactly
It's more decriminalisation but the main point is that in the UK you can be completely open with no risk of being prosecuted which is much better imo
It's called 'decriminalization'. It is currently done all over Europe with weed and in some places shrooms as well.
I love how this guy changed his content completely; compared to other “gym” KZheadrs that just post their day of life.
geezer went from hatable to lovable
Please make more of these! Amazing work! 👏
Ohh man this one is your Opus for sure!!! I enjoyed the whole video and replay it many times!!! Great work!!!
the "policeman" at 7:12 is just a worker in a HI-VIZ jacket haha, great video also that just made me laugh
That guy's more useful than the police
Dying lmao
All UK cops are just guys in a hi vis vest
😂 Also, Jesse was asking traffic police about steroids 😄
More likely to stop a criminal, less likely to do homosexual dances in front of children or to cover-up rape gangs.
For clarity. Anabolic steroids are class C drugs, which can only be issued by pharmacists with a prescription. It's legal to have anabolic steroids for personal use. They can also be imported or exported, as long as this is carried out in person. This means they can't be posted or delivered by a courier or freight service.
Actually you're allowed to import steroids from a none UK retailer using a courier/delivery service.
They are class C but there is nothing about issuing only with a prescription. If you have them for personal use legal regardless of a prescription or not. They are unique in this category.
You can get anything in the mail.
@@SenpaiTorpidDOW incorrect, legal for personal use.
@@SenpaiTorpidDOWWE NEED A TESTOSTERONE PETITION LEGALIZE IT , BUY IT WITH JUST AN I'D , THEY DO THIS FOR MARIJUANA AT DISPENSARIES AND FOR ALCOHOL.. TESTOSTERONE OR OTHER STEROIDS DONT MESS WITH YOUR THINKING , GETTING HIGH OR DRUNK .
Very important video Jesse, well done for covering this problem in the UK bro. I would say I've noticed how big older men appear (possibly TRT) and now young kids like 16+ are on some kind of gear. They have incredible physiques and they bro lift in groups all across the UK. I personally believe a lot of people are now on roid, sarms, peptides etc. The majority doesn't want to work hard for 5+ years naturally the gain the mass and muscle. We are now seeing total body composition transformations in the space of 6 months.
1:30 lol the absolute blunt honesty and 0 f's given by this guy. Love it. 😂😂
This is one of the best quick format documentary on the topic I’ve seen! I love how Jesse makes it light and friendlier, like you’re just talking to friends. This is definitely a road you’re meant to go, Jesse - educating and entertaining us with fitness knowledge.

First video of yours I watched Jesse and honestly I’m floored. from the intro I expected something surface level and thin on the ground but was surprised by just how seriously you took the topic and how personable your manner with every person on camera was. No one was demonised or glorified it was just a frank look at something that is obviously a contentious issue in the uk. 11/10 dropped a sub and can’t wait for more.
Really like the openness and honesty of the English people, breath of fresh air, thank you guys!
bro ur awesome i have been watching all of ur vids and u have helped me through my fitness journey
This is crazyyyy!! What a great video thanks Jesse 🙏🏻🔥
This video randomly popped up on my feed, thought i'd watch it..... and you're in Chelmsley Wood. Of all places in the world. Mind blown 😂
This was really interesting. Thanks for the work Mr. West.
This was great. This is the kind of content I enjoy. Not too long and not too short, just enough to watch throughout the day to get through breaks at work. Love it man, keep up the great work.
Honestly I rarely see this much information and effort in a video. Really enjoyed the video, keep it up Jesse
Great video.and eye opener,I never realised there are so many people using steroids inn the fitness area/industry🤔 thanks for this video/insight
Enjoyed that,well done boss

Yeah I didn't expect it either
Same here 😂 I knew that wasn’t natural though 😭😭
@@Jerefmiah thats how female sounds like after taking roids for years

If course. They aren't dope heads chasing a high. They are hard working folks trying to achieve their goals.
If there's 1 million steroid users in the UK means that 1 out of every seventy people in the country are on it. If you factor out all the children and senior citizens that's quite a startling amount really.
Sounds like statistical bogus. Source is a The Guardian article that is from 2018. The article states: *_"Public Health Wales estimates there are about 350,000 male users aged 16-64 who visit needle exchanges across England, Wales and Scotland."_* While also implying: *_"But it points out there are many more who do not use exchanges as well as those who take steroids orally."_* Furthermore there's another mention about a number of users: *_"The national IPED info report is considered the most in-depth study of usage. Joe Kean, who is the lead recruiter of steroid users for the report, said he was confident there were about 900,000 users in the UK."_* The link to the IPED report is broken and it states that Joe Kean *"was confident there were about 900,000 users."* Key word: was confident (assumed). The 1 million is just a number used for a sensational title. I'm pretty sure the number lies much closer to 500,000. Which is still a lot. But clearly not a million.

Brilliant work! Enjoyed this video 100!!
Fascinating investigation! It's truly eye-opening to see the impact and dynamics of a country that has chosen to legalize steroids. Your thorough exploration sheds light on both the positives and potential challenges of such a decision. Great work!
Thanks for the insight
Been seeing ur vids 4 a while and I gotta say ur content has improved a lot! U deserve my follow bro💯💪🏽, u need to to these interviews worldwide based on drugs use!
Commenting from France. I'm getting more US channels in my KZhead feed, it's crazy the quality of content that you guys produce. Keep going 💪🏻
when you’ve attained these “not natty” physiques after just 2 years in the gym..it really goes to show that training till failure and staying consistent matter a helluva lot more than 200-400 more ng/dl
So glad you spoke to Dave Crosland the blokes a legend and really knows his stuff when it comes to steroid use
Love ur vids jesse keep it up man💯
I personally am from the UK, and I know people as young as 13 who have taken steriods. They are extremely easy to obtain and get hold of, and there is a large proportion of under 18s who do take steroids
Finally,someone who speaks the truth. The number of TEENAGERS on stuff is eye opening
It is crazy mate, been in gyms with 16 y/os talking about their cycle. "Hope i dont get acne or lose my hair" like thats the main concern 😂
Holy fuck
And 10 year olds can access cannabis and alcohol everywhere they are either legal or illegal. People seek what they want.

I have a severe case of osteoporosis from steroids ,the pain is off the charts ... DON'T DO IT!!!
I'm very dumb but... Does osteoporosis mean your bones start to become weaker and weaker to the point where they are very very fragile?
@@fironim3071 Muscle growth, due to steroids, exceeds the growth your bones and tendons have to make to match it. Your muscles can be putting too much strain on your tendons and bones. It's why sometimes steroid users may experience a detached bicep while performing preacher curls. Search up detached biceps on youtube, pretty gnarly.

Your videos about this topic are by far your best ones, great job man
I’m not a gym dude or a bodybuilder but this was very interesting to see as I’m British. I didn’t realise so many people took steroids. Great video 👍🏻
I’ve been in the gym industry for two decades professionally. I can tell who is on something and who isn’t just by looking at them 9 times out of 10. One common trend I notice is that almost every power lifter I’ve spoken with, thats over the age of 50, sincerely regrets doing what they did to their body in their youth.
I'd love to see you do some long form documentary type content in this style. It would kill. All the best!
He's not qualified for that.
Jesse contents is fire! Every video is different and i never get bored watching your videos. Keep it up brother 🔥
Your videos are getting better and better.
Very interesting podcast - I’ve trained for decades and never used any substances. Though I’ve seen some very negative effects of steroid use
Great video mate 🏴🇬🇧
Man your video quality is just getting better and better🔥
BIG FAN.🔥💯💯💯🔥🔥.all the way from 🇵🇬 🇫🇯
Thanks for posting
Something like this reveals that being on steroids does not mean you will look like you are on steroids. A lot of people are on them and you would have no idea. It is important to be happy with yourself and the only thing you should compare yourself to is your former self. Stay hard.
There's something called genetics as well.
yup, always been the way. Ive beem much bigger naturally than many people ive known on steroids in the past. genetics is king when it comes to muscle growth, then you also have to factor in genetics in terms of how someone might respond to steroids on top of that
Genetics but also a lot of people are getting sold fake shit. Unless you're a top tier IFBB pro don't expect anything you got would be real
@@nattyfatty6.0ya… completely false. idk what world you live in but the rest of us who do gear and are not IFBB know where to get it. not only are there kits to test potency if you want to spend the money, you have your own results and also lab work to confirm what you need. i’m 260 lbs and very lean (6’1) and deadlift 700. why? because the gear is real and everyone else i know doing gear gets real stuff. a few weeks ago i had my doctor run a bunch of labs. my current total level of testosterone is over 6300 ng/dl and my free test is over 2200ng. why? oh ya, because it’s actually easy to get real gear when you’re not a pro… idk where you came to that conclusion from
It's really not that difficult to find legitimate stuff just got to know where to go and look, it's super easy with the internet lol.
Love this Documentary. Thanks Jesse!
Top interviewer! Great vid.
Really love how open people are, this is what it should be for a more healthy gym culture

@@Psychedelic430 Because they're not 'legal' in the UK - there just isn't any criminal offence that applies to possessing and/or using them but they are illegal to manufacture and sell outside of the medical system/prescriptions etc etc

really this guy is doing his best to educate people!!! love you man❤!!! keep going🤘
They're class C drugs. Legal to possess for personal use. But illegal to distribute or sell. I buy mine from DNM's (when I do a cycle)
That's dumb. It should be legal to sell so that sellers can be regulated to conform with purity and safety.
@@intoxicatingGold from the Gov website, penalties for possession: "Class C - Up to 2 years in prison, an unlimited fine or both *(except anabolic steroids - it’s not an offence to possess them for personal use)* "

Fun fact: They aren't legal in the UK. Steroids are a Class C Controlled Drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. Production and supply are an offence for which a maximum sentence of 14 years can be given along with an unlimited fine. Simple possession however is not an offence.

As a NHS doctor, there are many many other drugs of abuse which play a significant part of the pressure on the UK heath service including alcohol, cannabis and other illicit drugs. Definitely have seen many complications from poor administration technique, poor drug quality and even those ending up on intensive care from heart /liver failure. Naturally doctors will not encourage it and probably have a negative view on people who use it, the medical teams will only see the bad consequences of anabolic steroid usage. Great video tho Jesse
1 of the reasons for germanys recent cannabis legalisation was the health issues that could arise from certain chemicals & pesticides used during growing. Seems a similar issue here with not knowing how clean the steroids are
The biggest problem this country has is crack and heroin and you, as an NHS doctor, mentioned alcohol and weed xD
@@AcidRai the fact that you think you know better than an actual NHS doctor who works on the frontlines of drug abuse is hilarious.
@@AcidRai As someone who does work occasionally on intensive care. The drugs which cause me the most issues usually involve alcohol plus something other illicit. Could be crack, heroin, cannabis, spice. Alcohol is number one I'd say.
@@AcidRaiwrong. I worked in Emergency medicine in UK for 2 years. Alcohol is by far biggest problem

1:40 : Welcome to our quaint, wonderful Island 💀😂
I'm from the UK and never knew it was legal here lmao
It's a class C substance which is illegal to possess and can land you two years in prison or an unlimited fine. However with Anabolic Steroids and this only applies to steroids, you can possess them legally for personal use. But if you're caught with too much then it could go past them counting it as personal use and you could be charged as a potential supplier. UK law is weird sometimes haha
my impression from the number of people on juice that I have seen in gyms is that it is probably semi-legal in some sense

I am glad for the honesty that has been in place about steroid use in the uk however with the law of the fact that the supplier will be punished for supplying steroids and not the consumer makes me terrified to go on steroids in the first place in the uk. Because you do not know what could be in that crap and if there is something wrong in the process of making it some scary consequences will face up to me if I would take it. But I am glad that even the dealers say not to take steroids.

I go to a small gym in the UK and I would say that around 75% of people in there are on gear. It isn't a typical gym, but it is one of many similar gyms in my city. Steroid use is off the charts at the moment, and it does take some level integrity and willpower to not take them when in this type of environment.
