last week with one hour I'll give you your number massage I got a carry the massage really but right now I have a pen I'm not getting any silences good ah [Music] hello everyone and welcome to Generation Iron podcast thank you for joining us your host Victor Martinez and some farahi Vlad yurin and Edward Mejia welcome now today's topic is bodybuilding and Bo which again can go with any other sport but since we focus on bodybuilding here we are talking about it and have you gone through any issues of body odor I mean what I've gone through usually is doing two workouts back to back other than that I mean I've seen some guys though that walk around with a mushroom of bad bad bad Bo um I think one guy used to keep his one favorite shirt in the gym in the locker room with no Vents and he will always use the same shirt for one week straight because that was his favorite shirt you couldn't tell him otherwise because uh every single day he wore it the whole time every day same shirt Monday through Friday all the time and I think he wore it so much and this thing was so bad that it just became part of the show the shirt blended into his literally Blended in and uh it's one of those things that um do the drugs give bad Bo that's what I heard it could change your pH balance right in men so I have seen this I mean I've seen this a lot of times um you know at one point I used to work in a mental hospital and I used to do these guys wait a second you work in a mental hospital yeah yeah I worked in a mental health as a what yeah I was a doctor actually I had a case File I I was in school I was studying Human Services you worked in a mental hospital in Dyckman no in the mental hospital of wards Island right under the Triborough Bridge mysterious and nobody knows the whole topic just shifted now we're gonna now we gotta hear about this it's a whole episode so this is I think you're holding the people this is the building that's like right on Randall's Island or something yes the first one you know Randall's Island it's one of them I think that's what firefighters or the training they also have concerts there what the first part of it and uh they even have a baseball slash soccer field but the other part of the island which is wards Island hence the name that's where they have the homeless shelter he does anything yeah the first hospital is in and outpatient the middle hospital is inpatient the last one was for the criminally insane you think that's where you work was there ah listen man I don't think I'm scared of crazy people I'm scared of normal people you know crazy at least you know they come crazy you know you know you know you have to keep them in check you know but normal people you sleep on you're not ready yeah you're not gonna sleep on them in New York you got to be very very careful with crazy people that's the thing oh man you know in New York you get on the subway I used to ride Subways with them and take them over to their you know therapist you know yeah and I used they used to they used me because the people said Victor we're going to use you because they respect you and they're more like they were scared of me yeah I'm going crazy around you right they were normal right well they used to ask them oh can you take this can you do this and I usually just tell them take this do this and they did it so they put me in a position yeah but uh I remember I used to give on medication all day you know Depakote back cell you name it what are those like suppressants yeah uh psychotropic drugs and uh it's Listen People there's no cure for mental illness damn do you have any trouble drama over there I mean with me no no they're all pretty cool with me so we're going with it so this they developed I used to give them a lot of this medication and they always had you know this this odor that came out of their pores it couldn't really help it I mean but what made it worse it wasn't just you know the medication you know it's most medication that chemical smell it comes out of the pores and that's where I'm kind of connecting to the bodybuilders because these people would take all this medication and the only thing that made it worse this was not only are you taking all these medication but on top of it you're not showering and it created a cluster of nasty I mean Bo is not that bad it's when you've got to give it a whole new name to it some chemical freaking uh mutation chemical reaction to it you know but um that's the thing I I think that happens with a lot of the bodybuilders or many guys who tend to mix too many drugs and not really bathe in between workouts because again it is coming out your pores it is in your system eventually uh I think the biggest one you know people talk about the uh you know here we go back to the trend we'll talk about Trend and taking it and the trend you know freaking uh cough and the trend this but trend is like so strong you can actually smell it also that's crazy yeah it's so strong so yes it is an issue you can avoid it by obviously showering more or kind of you know pacing you know when you do take the medication that's all you can do there's nothing much well from Trent what's what's how prevent the trend smell you know I mean it's it's again right it's again it's just the dirty drug a dirty drug is gonna come out every dirty trance you can't really you know you know you're gonna smell trentatious this is that sounds like something like a cologne trantatious and that's actually a lot of questions that's that's the questions what we always get is like you know what are these you know these body orders are their effects from you know PDS I mean and also we get the fact that you know Peds could cause uh outbreaks right yes the outbreaks I mean acne outbreaks all that stuff so what is your opinion on that too again it goes back to the person's uh pH balance you know the hormones in the person's system you know one guy could be taking 10 times more stuff nothing will happen you could take just one shot and I could just change the whole world the next thing you know you break out you know pimples all over and uh the worst thing you can do is okay now you are taking you know tests whatever you have the pimples now you want to take something to combat the pimples now you're creating a whole other problem the medication for for yeah because now you're taking medication and then I think back then uh I think in the steroid book Dan Duquesne or Duchesne bro I think on the list that he had used to be Accutane but then I've heard of that drug it's very dangerous it's very dangerous you know you're clear as a pimple but you might blow your head off from depression can you talk yeah there's some medication there's actually even lawsuits against Accutane I read about it people committed suicides the drug right develop a suicidal thoughts right remember those commercials like if you get suicidal thoughts specifically Accutane well I got you the price and the pressure at least that's great suicidal thought so it was a depression you know I mean again if you're already suicidal I mean you want to go through with it just take Accutane but it's a real thing you're those commercials right like like about medical medications they say if you develop Suicidal Thoughts stop taking the there's a lot of medication that's why I say if you're taking one thing and then you're taking another drug to you know trying to fix this problem you're creating another problem so the can steroids develop Suicidal Thoughts it has happened with some guys um they go into Depression end of the cycle end of the cycle and when you stop yeah definitely you go to the depression definitely yes especially when your your cycle is down no matter what who are you especially when you crash or someone else yeah when you crash yeah what are you doing were you depressed suicidal what are you doing I mean wheat watch TV I mean look at the door yes what he's doing you know he's he's all the time high and you got enjoying your life you have to make your mind the different direction storage make you so much strong power pumpness you know when you don't have that feeling you feel like you lost something right and then automatically take oh I'm weak I'm not that big I cannot live that way I cannot do that especially with the fine we just you know how big you are and you feel good people telling you you look great you look great and then you stop for whatever reason you get sick and anything you're small and now you know people saying oh you're okay and that can lead to that everyone asks you are you okay what happened are you yeah again so if you define with this then you're always going to have a problem you're always going to have an issue so that's why I tell anyone let's say if you're not competing you're not looking at you know you're not mentally strong don't put yourself in that position it's easily avoidable but um I mean it was one guy in the gym the other day I asked me hey so everybody's on trt huh just aggressively oh there you go who said that you know no it's just I know a lot of guys on trt I'm like you know obviously you know he wasn't in good shape um he you could tell he was young you know is that the question that you always get like for instance are what is the main like the biggest question you get on you know in the public hey Vic I mean what should I take what's like how much how much should I take to see how much you bench and I said you're not more than you and that's you know it's just how much you bench you know the person who asked me though that's like the corny question from the guy at the gym that's trying to be like a bro right he's like hey how much you bench like I know it's kind of like see more than you basically and then walk away I mean I do more than that but uh it's it's uh one of these answers that you don't want to be caught up and just take time out of yourself to actually answer oh I mentioned this my do you leave me alone when you ask that question you already lost me I'm gone you lost me you lost me I'm not even here years a matter of fact I'm physically here but you must be Adventure you lost me actually he left my soul has gone only my body is here right now so just let me go man let me go well I guess it's different right if it comes from a from a female that's attractive or a female actually how much you better just say you and a couple of your friends so would you tell the guy another they ask you if everybody's on CRT how did you end that conversation I asked I told her no where you got this from I was like everyone look I see trt I'm like well what did you look you get caught on the advertising then because no but I should go on trt I was like well it depends how old are you you know and then and you look like you should be on a diet not trt yeah I told them you know it's true yeah start start with the diet and then progress you know the hardest part of this sport is a diet I mean bodybuilding in the kitchen gym is fun that's like the hardest thing in the world Jimmy is fun I mean the hardest thing is obviously eating well and healthy yes consistently consistently that's very disciplined that's another thing smelling we're talking about Bo and that's another thing you are what you eat and a lot of people eat bad food yes they eat too much bad food and if you're eating a bucket of onions you're gonna smell like that too but I want to defunct the whole thing that body with this thing because it's thorough it's really most people stink because of what they eat and that is way bigger than a bodybuilders thinking because of steroid and uh come on guys you know just uh think about it when I was in feeble so guys want to put their arms around me and once they put the army that reminds me when Vlad and I went to a club and you and this is in London oh man we walk in and the ratio of women to men in there is like five to one I'm not even for every guy in there was a five women in there and we walk in they're like oh this is pretty cool bro the minute we walk into that into like the middle section of that club man it was a body odor Central not not food video like regular no deodorant it was barely any medicine regime no but in people I wanted to put I wanted to buy deodorant and I wanted to write protein deodorant on it so they could start rubbing it on yeah it works they don't use deodorant right in many countries like in Europe well you got to remember I'm not using no the people don't use deodorant because you go back to the whole thing of aphrodisiac people actually get turned on Yeah by Bo by Bo interesting oh it's a man's pickup right that's [ __ ] crazy by the way it's crazy bro what isn't it true that the ordering is actually bad for you because it's lead so it's lead in the aluminum aluminum aluminum so that's a good point I mean I went through a phase and I still do sometimes where I don't use deodorant to have all these like you know specific ingredients and like these parabens it's certain things that you know that are in there in these organic the deodorants you use that these organic deodorants are great don't work but they don't work foreign so but but you know they say that you know you you don't have those like you know ingredients and then aluminum yeah what do you do if you you saw someone in the gym stink everywhere you go this smells what you would walk away from you can't in the gym you know and the father you go they should have a policy forgot what we used to do a stinky dance you know like you know the Strand is completely off the I guess it has to do with me or some women don't shave their armpits uh it's like a trend it's it's have you seen the trend it has to go with a fetish a lot of it is a fetish people don't forget to put deodorant they think and most men and women think that this is the way they're going to attract the other person I think Fighters referring to somewhere yes and again that kind of yes Williamsburg bro yeah well it's like a trend it's a trend but what about um we talk about the acne and the hygiene right what about um like teeth and gums yes the steroids have you heard like people mess up their like gums and teeth it's not the stories about training while training yeah while training a lot of the grinding yeah and I'm talking about from actual like substance like from substance that you take no it doesn't weakened enamel or nothing like that no unless you're smoking crack and working out Doing Crystal and working out critical messages you know losing all your fronts I hear the shark protein what protein the protein makes the teeth well if you if you drink the protein and you just go straight to bed most things that you kind of let linger you know while you go to bed affects you so yeah so many things if you just I mean even if you you know put eat fish you put lemon on it the lemon you know messes up your teeth yeah really acidity yeah yeah I heard of it but there's so many things that that affect the body it causes so many chemical imbalances um as far as food everybody in this world not one person I mean even if we eat whale meat I'm sure you're gonna smell like it like a whale healthy healthy too looking for bodybuilder because you have to eat six times a day if you don't have a good tooth you cannot chew and exactly you have a problem for for a storm records you could do chicken shakes too chicken shakes oh my God have you had that big no I was never into the blending my food I've seen a Dexter I've seen Dexter do it actually uh I don't know if that doesn't now but I'm saying I've seen him do it he would put the chicken rice and something else we also work at the vanilla gorilla in strength Wars yeah the strength Wars and this guy that's all he would eat I mean this guy's in the middle of Wyoming yeah unbelievable I mean he almost I mean I'm not gonna ruin the movie but he's got seven seven uh seven seven a day seventh a day in his training for stress I mean I'll just do it I mean if you just kind of you know just put a hole in your stomach opening you pour it in it's different you know but I don't want to drink it I don't want to drink chicken drink Pizza oh man that's even worse Pizza you blend a pizza in another Pizza no no like ndo says blend it up I barely like a plenty I mean even a protein shake I should be Blended right if you blend it for more than 15 seconds I don't even want to drink it yeah you don't want too much blood no I don't even want it too much blend like it's just weird I don't like anything too creamy your dreams you drink your protein in one shot or sips um it depends who made it that's who made it yeah so I had a free protein the other day and I was like no wonder this is free man at the gym proteins come a long way back in the day you would have to come a long way but I tell you what there's no best tasting protein in the wheater original protein they had like 20 grams of sugar but it was one of the best tasting protein I think was it better than Yoo-hoo it's right there hand in hand man you I just have more sugar in it you who is a staple in a lot of the schools [Music] who here likes quicker you who this battle I forgot about quick I'm on team quick isn't it crazy how much sugar was consumed back in the even 90s right how much sugar is consumed now even yeah there's more awareness but the kids not more Donuts being made more than ever more Donuts more cookies more candy more than ever now heart disease is a big sugar if you don't get into business going to the Sugar business yeah it's addictive yeah yeah so sugar bricks better and it's legal better than cocaine yeah yeah sugar bricks all day tons sell them by the tons but I'm saying nobody in the 90s talked about sugar really right I don't remember like well I can't even talk about it because it was just happening and the people didn't talk about about it because they know if they spoke about it a lot of these big companies that were pushing the sugar will lose out like Kellogg's all of them and I bet they had all of them yeah and I penalized cigarettes and cancer right and I bet they had a lot of lobbyists as well and you know in DC you know always pushed his things and obviously not talking about them right I don't know General Mills was up there in Congress man what's healthy in your opinion regular soda or diet soda because I hear diet soda also might not be good for you diet some kind of chemicals diet soda is better for you then yeah at least you're not eating nothing it's true sometimes I see the people go to the restaurant they order anything they want I said Diet Coke come on man but you know what to defend those people well I used to be like I used to be one of the people that made fun of those people but I like the Diet Cokes I just like the taste you're right and that's right that's why it tastes good taste of the diet coke is good I can never finish a regular coat though yeah never drink a regular soda it's so sugary and you feel thirsty is it exactly I think it was the sugar and then again it's just left the cottonmouth if you're running I used to run a lot so it was always wait you guys like the doctor yeah you like the taste of that you like the taste of Diet Coke versus the regular coke diet coke yes you like the taste better yeah most people hate the taste no I like the taste too because I feel like it gives you that like I don't know if it's the acidity in it but it's like you know what I mean like it's like it's like the taste of the fake sugar I like the dark taste I don't like the real sugar taste yeah Coke Zero Coke Zero that's my favorite is Coke Zero different from um Diet Coke it's not sweet it's not sweet when you talk about sponsorship here because it's like it's not too much sweet no sugar at all actually right no sugar but the the sweetness it's not that too much you know yeah some of them manage drinks these are really good I mean we're running through boxes on these things yeah I mean they're really good for people who want to try them we recommend them not because they are official and they're here but they're really good they have amazing good tastes got to be the original brand I hate when they say you know we don't have Diet Coke but we do have Diet Pepsi no no no no no no no no no no no no it's not the same like don't try to push this on me man so it's got to be original anything you know Pepsi used to hire these these people that would go to restaurants and they would ask for Pepsi and the waiter would bring them Coke they can actually sue the establishments look at that it's crazy is this when it was very started in the coke wards that was they were at work yeah they were yeah yeah they were like no you got it if I ask for Pepsi you got to bring your Pepsi if you bring me Coke I can see who does better anyways I think Coke probably yeah I mean they're both Pepsi is the same company or they said Coke had Coke in the beginning they did yeah they did yeah is that crazy I know that's why Coke is doing better that's right they got everybody hooked freaking you know sucky difficult [Laughter] good for pre-workout using it as a like the guys he's gonna kill you your whole workout you know what the worst is though I think if you take if you drink like a Diet Coke on a plane because have you experienced this you ever ordered a Diet Coke or soda on a plane and then you're on high altitudes you feel very gassy gassy yeah and it happens a lot because you sense you're sitting down you see that you're not moving um so that's it no I drink mostly water on a flight so no yeah no vodka oh luck is better you could drink it you feel good on the flag but then you land you feel like you just been on a plane after 12 hours immediately when you land immediately immediately you have to take one shot again sure yeah I drink another time zone another one another one yeah you go hotel or home you know you have to do country before we wrap today anything else you want to tell us about this mental hospital job no just uh I mean a lot of crazy things happen there I mean it was literally a little pony I don't want to make fun of them a lot of people don't know that about you no no that's why I see all these things well oh man craziest things can they sue me you know it's f is my business I think flags were not a business I used to work for [ __ ] for what yeah Federation employment and guiding Services they said something completely different yeah yeah but uh it was a good company and they had the right intention they were like uh mid point for people leaving the Mental Hospitals to kind of you know basically regroup them into going back into normal life and getting jobs and you know getting this apartment yeah it was good but uh it's just uh like I said before it is so tough to uh you know fix the brain rewire the brain right because a person who suffers you know any mental illness any mental stress brought on through either genetically drugs situations uh it's kind of hard to wire that brain right back so crazy on this podcast we found out that you work as a bouncer at the oh yeah I took any job man for me it was like you got a job fireman well that's that was I was a spying of B but uh Ronnie Sinclair got that one you know that's why you know I was like Wow Ronnie you got the job I always wanted and you also have uh one of the guys in Kuwait in uh oxygen I think ask car ascar is a fireman yeah that's gone yeah yeah interesting yeah well these guys yeah right generation 92 everybody would roll up to the gym and Ferraris anymore because training make money she got a Ferrari oh but it's I don't know for me it was just uh to do something I felt like when I worked out whatever amount of times I did I always felt like man I got to do something else so he was a teacher a sport teacher in the school really so yeah [Music] that is true so we're getting over here you're a firefighter you're getting paid 50 000 over there you're getting probably a couple of hundred thousand yeah you know it's just that I have a respect for these those people a lot teacher fireworks cops and all of these doors under government so when you've worked for this those things
