The use of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs has been a subject of debate in the fitness industry for decades now. While it’s evident that bodybuilders frequently use these substances to showcase a chiseled physique on stage, the widespread availability of these drugs in the internet age is certainly a worrisome issue. Retired IFBB Pro bodybuilder Seth Feroce is one of the first few people in the industry who admitted his usage of steroids and has been making educative content regarding the effects of using anabolics.
Constantly scrolling through social media and seeing genetic outliers has raised our expectations for achieving a great physique. This frequently results in individuals feeling insecure about their physical appearance. In an attempt to stop people from creating unrealistic goals, the concept of ‘natty or not’ videos came into existence. While Feroce has done such videos in the past as well, his recent upload saw a few new names who came under his radar.
Let’s dive straight into it and look at what Feroce thinks of these influencers from the fitness industry.
“Be honest. Be yourselves, don’t hide who you are, don’t be afraid of being yourselves.”
Mike O’Hearn
“Do I think he’s natty? No. Do I think that he has built his entire career off of being natty? Yes. So he’s gonna die on that f**king hill.” However he added “Whether he’s natty or not, who gives a flying f**k.”

Greg Doucette
“There is no fucking way Greg Doucette is taking trenbolone,” stated Seth. To back his claims up, he explained that Doucette is a cyclist and performs really well in the sport, which cancels out the probability of him being on a compound like trenbolone. “It inhibits your aerobic output…Is he taking other things? Maybe”
Shizzy
“Shizzy is a genetic freak…Do I think he’s on something? Potentially yes, do I think he’s a genetic freak? Absof**kinglutely.” Explaining further, he gave instances from other members of Shizzy’ family. “Like his brother, his brother is jammed as f**k too. His mom probably has massive arms, his dad probably has splits in his f**king calves.”
Jesse James West
“I think that he actually might be one of the only ones that is a 100 percent natural just because I think the dude’s kind of a dork. I think he’s the dude that just loves lifting weights, loves working out, loves making YouTube videos.”
Tren Twins
After watching a short clip where Tren Twins admitted that they have tried Tren in the past, Feroce expressed his disbelief over the fact saying, “I would have guessed that they didn’t take tren at any point…they still got that baby fat and that soft tissue to them…from a quick first look at them, I wouldn’t think that they have taken tren.”
Lexx Little
“He does look like he has a natural upper body. His legs are f**king stupid..he did a drug tested meet? That’s great…I’m glad that he’s natural.”
Addressing the issue of young influencers hiding their steroid usage, Seth noted that these individuals have been less than truthful about their fitness methods and have “dug themselves into this natural hole, and the come out might be a little scary.”
The final takeaway from the video
Concluding his video, Seth educated his audience about being aware of the consequences of hopping on gear before starting their first cycle. He explained that we often hear people saying ‘Don’t do drugs,’ but what actually is the need of the hour is to spell out the dark side of using steroids in order to minimize it.
“I don’t give a f**k whether you do them or not. I’m not your dad, I’m not your best f**king friend. I’m the mother f**ker that’s going to exactly tell you how it goes and what’s going to occur.”
Seth’s candid insights serve as a valuable compass in the ever-growing bodybuilding and fitness community, prompting a much-needed conversation about fostering a healthier and more balanced approach to achieving our desired physique goals.
