The Golden One - How To Spot A Fake Natty. The Signs

00:00:00.000 Greetings, proud sons of Rome! Today I wanna delve into, yet again as I promised in last video,

00:00:18.180 how to spot a fake Natty. Now even before I decided to make this video I know that a lot

00:00:25.440 of inquiries regarding my own status as Natty will be posted in the comment section below,

00:00:31.660 I'm certain. Truth fears no investigation, so I have nothing to hide whatsoever, I am

00:00:39.480 Natty as it is right now, I will be that for a few years as well. You can believe it or

00:00:45.120 not, it doesn't really interfere with my, you know, what I do at a regular basis either

00:00:50.520 way, so you don't have to believe it, you can believe it, all my true friends believe

00:00:54.360 me at least. And then if Jason Laha and Bagpuss decide to make a how to spot a fake Natty

00:00:59.460 on me, you know, that's fine, it won't hurt me in any way whatsoever because, you know,

00:01:04.320 it doesn't really matter for me. But for the record, yes, I am Natty. Here's my stats.

00:01:09.360 Now, how to spot a fake Natty. Now, the misconception a lot of guys look at is the pure size of someone.

00:01:23.040 Realize that you can get really big via consistency, hard work and genetics.

00:01:28.140 Genetics is a huge component in your overall size. However, something you cannot do as a

00:01:34.140 natural, you cannot go down to 5% body fat while still maintaining the fullness in your

00:01:41.140 muscles. So if you look at my delts right here and my arms, they look full and powerful. It would

00:01:47.040 not be naturally possible for me to go down to 5% body fat, aka, you know, bodybuilding competition

00:01:54.600 standard and keep the fullness in my muscle. They would look depleted. I would look very skinny,

00:01:59.940 very unpowerful, very unfull, as it were. So that is something you cannot do as a natural. And if you

00:02:09.540 want to spot a fake Natty, as it were, look at, is he full? Does he have that full, powerful look,

00:02:15.840 even when it's really shredded? I'm about 10-12% body fat right now. You know, some abs on the top,

00:02:23.340 but not shredded per se. Like, so I can maintain this fullness. You know, I have a good, healthy diet.

00:02:30.000 But if I were to cut down that low, I would look skinny. That's just the way it is. And that is

00:02:36.900 something that would require gear to attain that look. So if you want to gauge if someone is natural,

00:02:45.040 do not just look at size, because size has to do with a lot of factors. But no one can look very,

00:02:52.280 very ripped and still have that full, powerful physique. So the main point is that you can get

00:02:59.760 big as a natural, but you cannot get big and really lean. And now my problem and why this is

00:03:05.700 important, why I'm even talking about this, because some people be like, oh, you know,

00:03:09.220 who is this guy to call these other guys out. But it's quite simple. And because a lot of fake

00:03:14.880 guys portray unhealthy ideas, like if you want to take steroids, I suggest you wait as long as

00:03:21.600 possible and preferably do it when you're 30 years or older. Or if you have low distortion,

00:03:26.760 by all means do it now if you want. There is no morally wrong in that. It is a trade-off between like

00:03:33.460 time, money, efficiency, health, everything like that. So you have to make that educated

00:03:38.980 decision yourself. I'm not the one to say that, oh, you know, that's wrong. That's right. That's

00:03:43.960 just something you have to decide for yourself. However, what you should use those steroids for

00:03:49.800 is for health and to get strong and big. Not to be able to cut down to 5% body fat, because that

00:03:57.340 is the current trend. Now, I actually believe that that trend is going away because more guys and

00:04:03.100 thank you to all women, because women are actually, you know, no woman is gonna like a guy who has 5%

00:04:08.820 body fat. And I'm not saying that any bodybuilder or any guy cares about what women think to begin 0.95

00:04:13.520 with. But that is actually a voice of reason that says like, oh, you know, guys, this is not cool to

00:04:18.780 be that lean. And that is my problem because it's really unhealthy. And you know, you can't really have

00:04:23.800 any joy of life, as it were, when you're cutting that fucking hard. I've done it myself. And it's 0.99

00:04:28.660 not something you want to do. Again, I can look good and be big and strong. And, you know, eat,

00:04:35.780 have a glass of fucking wine, and, you know, have a cinnamon bone, a little torta, whatever, like, 0.99

00:04:43.020 so that sort of really unhealthy ideal has to go away. And when guys see like, oh, you know, 0.99

00:04:49.940 this guy's natural, and he's still that ripped, it creates a faulty image of what is attainable

00:04:55.340 as a natural. Because if a genuine natural guy want to attempt to go down that lean to compete in

00:05:01.940 natural bodybuilding, which I think is a really bad idea, by the way, they will just, you know, 0.93

00:05:06.520 starve themselves, feel like absolute shit, and, you know, not have any quality of life, 0.98

00:05:11.540 whilst they're losing muscle mass. Like, it's much better to be big and strong than to be 0.99

00:05:17.220 really shredded. And most importantly, look after your health. Like, it's not nice,

00:05:22.120 it's not productive to be that low in body fat. For me, it would be impossible, because I need to

00:05:27.080 be creative all the time. Basically, everything I do has to do with creativity. So, that's not

00:05:32.040 something I would like to do, just to stand on a stage and be shredded to bits, which I couldn't

00:05:36.740 be either way, because I would look like a hungry skeleton. So, that is how he spot a fake natural.

00:05:41.580 If he's really shredded to bits, while still maintaining that full, big look. So, imagine

00:05:46.800 my full and big look now, but I'm shredded to bits, which I'm not at the moment. And who am I?

00:05:54.140 I'm the glorious elf of optimal gains. XXO. Boom.
