\n\t\t\tJeff Nippard is a lifetime natural bodybuilder and a respected coach who is driven by the data as relates to health and fitness, so it may have come as a surprise to many when his latest video hit YouTube with the title \u201cSteroids Are Awesome.\u201d The new episode was his first to smash one hundred thousand viewers in the first hour and will break one million views in its first 24 hours. Here\u2019s what you need to know.
\n\u201cThe problem with steroids is that they work, like really work,\u201d says the Canadian coach in the opening of his eye-catching video. \u201cThat\u2019s probably irresponsible of me to say, but if we\u2019re going to talk about the steroid epidemic, we need to do it honestly.\u201d Those wondering if Jeff was shunning his natural status to move over to the dark side need not worry, however, as the video is a frank and non-patronizing discussion on the pros and cons of becoming a steroid user. Nippard felt the need to make the video because he\u2019s observed that many fitness influencers are honest about their use of performance enhancing drugs, but this has led many of their fans to follow suit. \u201cThe bigger problem is a lot of fitness influencers are only ever partially transparent,\u201d he adds. \u201cThey say they\u2019re on steroids, and they show their gains, but they rarely if ever show any of the bad stuff, so the only logical conclusion is that steroids are amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the video, Jeff Nippard gets first-hand accounts from doctors and steroids users to detail some of the side effects such as an enlarged heart, anxiety, and even IQ reduction, explaining the positives and pitfalls of performance enhancing drugs.<\/p>\n
Setting out his own position, Jeff Nippard says: \u201cI\u2019m not the health police, you can do whatever you want with your body, and I\u2019ve got no problem with people who enhance, but I at least want people to be aware of exactly what you are doing, and the full effect it has, good and bad.\u201d The episode has recorded overwhelmingly positive reviews so far.
\nUser @JoniCardenas commented: \u201cJeff, Dr Mike, and Derek from MPMD \u2013 this is like the Avengers Endgame of YouTube fitness influencers.\u201d
\nUser @amarug commented: \u201cFor those wondering about the title, the channel \u2018kurzgesagt\u2019 recently made a video titled \u201cSmoking is Awesome\u201d and it follows the same narrative, down to the \u2018let\u2019s smoke a cigarette together\u2019 and then go through the physiological effects. Many people commented it was the best anti-smoking video they\u2019d ever seen and I think it\u2019s an awesome idea by Jeff to make a \u2018mirror video\u2019 about steroids. They will be a huge health burden for many in the near future.\u201d
\nUser @Aedantus commented: \u201cPhysician here chiming in. I work in a specialty that I come across many patients young and old that have used or are now using anabolic steroids. I really appreciate that you bring to light some of these real concerns. I have spoken with colleagues about this paradoxical effect that increased honesty amongst influencers has had on steroid usage, and that complete honesty is still not achieved by just stating that they are taking steroids and sometimes specifics about cycles. Again, very much appreciated.\u201d
