The Reveal (Natty or Not)

Summary

The creator, who identifies his real name as Joseph and posts as Clark Kent, responds to years of accusations that he achieved his physique using performance-enhancing drugs. He says he has never used steroids, SARMs, or other performance-enhancing drugs.

To support his claim, he documents a testing period from June to mid-September, including repeated blood panels, several urine metabolite tests, identity checks, and footage or records of appointments and results.

He says his body weight and appearance remained broadly consistent during this period. He reports elevated ALT and AST levels on an early test, which he believes may have been related to training, while noting that his GGT results were normal. He also says one testosterone reading was lower after a week of poor sleep. These are his interpretations of his results, not a medical assessment.

He acknowledges that testing over a few months cannot conclusively establish someone’s drug-free history over their entire life, and that his old weight and training records are incomplete.

The creator also argues that lighting, posing, leanness, and a workout “pump” can make physique photos on social media look dramatically different from someone’s everyday appearance. He says natural muscle and strength gains tend to be gradual, especially after years of training, and rejects the idea that someone could retain a peak drug-enhanced physique after stopping drug use.

Wellness and Tracking Points

• Standardize measurements when comparing results. He tried to use consistent testing conditions and track his weight and physique over time, while acknowledging that his earlier records were inconsistent.
• Account for factors that affect results. He notes that exercise may affect some blood markers, and that sleep and time of day may influence testosterone readings.
• Interpret physique photos cautiously. Lighting, posing, leanness, and a workout pump can change how muscular someone appears.
• Avoid overtesting. He describes his frequent testing schedule as excessive and says he does not recommend copying it. He experienced near-fainting, nausea, pain, and stress during blood draws. Any testing should be discussed with a qualified health professional.
• Recognize the limits of testing. He says his tests support his claim during the documented period but cannot settle every question about his lifetime history. He also notes that some results were preliminary at the time of filming.

He says he undertook the documentation partly out of frustration and hopes to move on from repeated arguments about his natural status. He emphasizes that creators should offer value beyond claiming to be natural, and says he does not want viewers to expect they can achieve exactly his physique.
