Robert Oberst Addresses Whether Or Not He Uses Steroids in Recent Video

Robert Oberst talk about steroid usage.

Popular strongman Robert Oberst recently spoke openly on the subject of steroid usage. The long time competitor touched on the subject in a recent YouTube video.

The usage of anabolic steroids in competitive endeavors has always been a touchy subject to address. After all, many believe that the use of steroids is equivalent to cheating. If there’s one thing fans hate it’s a cheater. Yet in certain sporting endeavors the idea of utilizing anabolic substances is par for the course. Essentially it’s a no brained to use steroids in bodybuilding and even in powerlifting. There are even strongman competitors who have admitted to using anabolic substances to with their performance.

When you compete at the highest levels of any sport the idea of losing can be terrifying. For that very reason many athletes seek out any kind of advantage in order to win. For many that means taking performance enhancing drugs.

Oberst’s Addresses Steroids

Long time strongman competitor Robert Oberst has been a staple in the scene for years. Oberst has been consistently competing for so long that inevitably the question of whether or not he’s used anabolic substances has arose. In a recent Instagram post Oberst teased addressing whether he’s took anabolic substances to help push his progress.

For a decade people have been asking me day in and day out about NATTY OR NOT?!?! It’s time we peel back the curtain and open up!!

Do you think it’s time we open Pandora’s box?

In a recent video on his YouTube channel Robert Oberst touched on the subject further. He opts to refer to the substance as “hormones” or “testosterone” rather than steroids or anabolic substances. Why exactly isn’t clear. What is clear is the statement he issued about why performance enhancers are utilized by athletes.

when you get past that (physical prime), it’s noticeable for sure.  So, from a professional athlete’s standpoint, it’s one of those things you can’t let dip. You can’t just let your body start to shut down and expect to get the same results out of it.

Robert Oberst eludes to his usage but doesn’t quite give explicit details. That said it does seem clear that he has used something in the past.

Returning to Top Form

It does appear that Robert Oberst is also dealing with lower testosterone levels. He apparently got approval to take something for his low test levels since he hopes to get back in top shape.
