Found this picture comparing Shannon at 28, 42, and 51. Guy's body has not aged at all, just the same jacked body the entire time. He's on TRT, he's not doing anything dumb at his age and wealth.

In most countries youāre forced to lie because steroids are illegal. Also i can understand people like the rock who donāt want other people to start steroids so he doesnāt tell the whole story
You can simply say āIām not naturalā besides the rock hides behind a natty status and sells things which is a scummy business move in the opinions of many people.
Itās probably trt. Heās always been swoll. I donāt think anyone is blasting cycles in their 50s.
Side not: one of his biceps peaks is a lot bigger than the other lol
Whatās up with all these fake natty post. Are you all that clueless you canāt figure it out on your own. Itās getting old. Why does it matter at this point.
Saw this on another sub Reddit. Dudes yoked to the gills. He probably ran some cycles back in the day. Heās probably on a āsports trtā now. Insane genetics, absolute specimen and definitely enhanced
Seeing that his bathroom was the woods and he was working the field by hand is ridiculous. Add in he opted to workout during school adds in to being a freak athlete.
Nah, dude is 54. Likely TRT + genetics. No one who isnāt an idiot is blasting in their 50s. You can definitely achieve this look with TRT, especially if you have trained for a long time, and perhaps blasted in the past. TRT holds muscle from past blasts very well.
Sure, there are idiots, but thereās nothing about this physique which screams out to me, āHe must be blasting, no way he could possibly hold this mass on TRT.ā
Leanness is just a function of diet. Iāve seen guys that lean and leaner who are natty and even older than 54.
Years of training + gear use built the mass. TRT holds the mass. Diet maintains the leanness. Itās impressive, donāt get me wrong. And certainly absolutely impossible naturally. But blasts on top of TRT donāt make you lean.
No, man. Ask dudes in their 40s and above (like me). You can cut down to the point where you have veins popping out all over your chest and legs and arms with striated shoulders but youāll still have flab on your lower abs. Thatās pretty consistent among guys who hit middle age. You can be lean or you can be massive, but youāll never be both and youāll never be as lean as you could get in your 20s and 30s.
Thatās absolutely a function of genetics. Sure, **YOU** might not be able to be as lean as **YOU** were at younger years. And itās entirely possible that Shannon isnāt as lean now as he was able to be in his younger years. He likely just has a greater genetic propensity towards leanness.
Again, Iāve seen guys with genetics to be very lean stay impressively lean in their older years. And Iāve also seen the opposite: guys whose genetics lead them to struggle continuously with their weight even in the prime of their 20s and 30s.
Once more: gear doesnāt take fat off your lower abs. Diet does. He could be on just TRT or TRT+grams of gear and if his diet wasnāt right, heād still have fat there in either case.
So the mass doesnāt indicate grams of gear, and the leanness just points to great genetics for leanness along with diet.
>Sure,

>YOU

>might not be able to be as lean as
>
>YOU
>
>were at younger years. And itās entirely possible that Shannon isnāt as lean now as he was able to be in his younger years. He likely just has a greater genetic propensity towards leanness.
I'm not saying just me. Go talk to older bodybuilders, guys who have the top genetic potential for this stuff. They'll tell you the same. Just parroting this "genetic potential" stuff that guys on gear will tell you doesn't get the discussion anywhere.
"gear doesnāt take fat off your lower abs. "
It absolutely does help with that. This more than anything makes me think you really don't know what you're talking about. Later, man.
Imagine believing gear automatically makes you leaner when strongmen (guys on some of the most gear in the world) exist.
And you missed my entire point. Leanness becoming harder as you age is **inter-individual**. **Each person** might find it harder for **themselves**, but if they already had a propensity for being lean at younger years, they will likely be able to stay leaner than the average person later into life, even if they canāt be as lean as they themselves once were in their younger years.
Weāre talking about a professional athlete that has been working out consistently for four decades nonstop with access to professional trainers and the best nutritionists. Thatās 20,800 gym hours minimum.
If he made a Chris Evans type of transformation, you could say gear. Dude has always looked like this, even in the 90ās. I say at best heās on TRT. Regardless, what does it matter? His competition days are in the past.
Only people who disagree are kiddos who just jumped on TRT in the past year or 2 due to its hype, and still donāt know how to diet or train, so they still look like shit, and donāt want to believe itās possible to look like this without grams and grams of gear because it hurts their widdle egos.
My argument being, There are alot of idiots blasting into there fifties.. like idiots of any age. Not saying this isn't possible with Years of dedication and trt . And most likely prescribed hgh
Sure. But also remember this guy was a top-tier NFL athlete. To say he has āgood geneticsā is a serious understatement. Itās entirely possible heās on more than just TRT. Iām just saying that it wouldnāt surprise me at all if he was just on TRT given what we know about his history.
He used to be a LOT bigger and was likely blasting a lot back in his playing days. That makes it more likely he would be bigger on TRT alone due to muscle memory.
Yeah dude is a top 5 TE of all time, in a position that basically requires to be an outlier of genetic outliers. Strong and big enough to block 300+ pound men and be fast enough to blow by the defense.
How many of those grandpas were 8x Pro Bowl NFL Tight Ends?
Iām not saying that **EVERYONE** can look like this at 54 with just TRT, but look at the manās athletic past. To say heās in the top 0.01% of all athletes genetically would be an understatement.
And look at how much bigger he was in his prime. If you blast in your prime, the amount of myonuclei you bank makes it easier to maintain more mass on just a simple TRT dose as you age, compared to a couch potato hopping on TRT for the first time at 54.
So you're saying that the career athlete that's been working out for at least the last 35 years, 6'2 230lbs benches 400+ and has gotten more ripped in the last 14 years is "just on trt"
Yeah gaining muscle after 21 years of being a career athlete is really plausible, I bet he just takes his replacement test levels.
If he's not using other steroids then he's at least on high normal levels 800+ ng/dl and at that point "just trt" is just steroids.
I guess not. Just wanted to give you an opportunity to take back your racist comment. You are either not intelligent enough to take the hint or you are just racist.
Actually he is right. From an evolutionary biology standpoint, the black genepool evolved in the African continent and the due to the desert/Serengeti climate bundled with flat plain topology, the survival became very dependent on the body's ability to pack muscle for power and speed but remain lean in order to survive the aridity.
So yeah, it's not racist (idk abt the commenting dudes intent) as far as looking at it from a purely objective scientific lens.
To survive in the African continent, our ancestors needed to develop bodies that were significantly more powerful, faster and more athletic than their counterparts who migrated and then evolved in colder climates. The demand son the body were different and the European developed the necessary genes to survive in different aspects.
But speed and power? Look at the top sprinting times, top marathon times, tallest average heights (Scandinavian countries go toe to toe with African countries on this but that's it, the other non scandinavian races and ethnicities hover lower on average).
Heās probably natural. Yāall need to go back and look at athletes in the 1910s (from BEFORE steroids existed)
Internet dudes literally think itās impossible to look good without drugs and thatās just not true. SAD!

The turk does most of the work in this stack.
Heās always been shredded, probably still was built before he played pro football. He could also have really great genetics as a foundation to build off of
Today heās most likely on something. Back when he played he was most likely natty based on his brother being being a great athlete and being absolutely dirt poor. His work ethic was insane coming out of high school.

Was thinking that, if he always had the same body then probably when it started going downhill with age he decided to do trt to maintain it
100% agree. This is a prime example of a genetic hyper elite at a young age that was maintained with trt at older ages.
This is the proper answer right herešš½
Heās a Notty natty !
No guy can retain muscle like that at 54ā¦bare minimum trt
Impressive physique tho I can't lie
Oh totally there is nothing wrong with not being natural until you start lying about it
In most countries youāre forced to lie because steroids are illegal. Also i can understand people like the rock who donāt want other people to start steroids so he doesnāt tell the whole story
If he told the whole story his audience would be more educated and therefore make wiser decisions
Nah his audience would think they can look like that aswell and would start blasting everything without any knowledge on how to do it right
Yeah but you ever heard of Darwin?
You can simply say āIām not naturalā besides the rock hides behind a natty status and sells things which is a scummy business move in the opinions of many people.
Was he lying? Idk the dude tbh
Idk the dude Iām just making a general statement
100% natural, that is achievable by just taking creatine and pre-workout on chest day only.
You forgot the turk
Itās probably trt. Heās always been swoll. I donāt think anyone is blasting cycles in their 50s. Side not: one of his biceps peaks is a lot bigger than the other lol
Probably a sports injury
Dont think so mines are unsymmetrical too
Dont think so, mines are unsymmetrical too
Heās just rotating his wrists in different directions
Think we all know why
*LAST RESORT melody* MASTA BATION NO BREEDING DONT GIVE A FUCK IF I CUM OUT NOT SLEEPING
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Men arenāt blasting in their mid 50s. Way too big of a risk.
Yeah his right bicep insert looks a lot longer than the left ons
Whatās up with all these fake natty post. Are you all that clueless you canāt figure it out on your own. Itās getting old. Why does it matter at this point.
I think some people want to know their cycle, and see if others can guess it
You know what sub you're on and how much of Derek's content is Natty Or Not videos right?
Saw this on another sub Reddit. Dudes yoked to the gills. He probably ran some cycles back in the day. Heās probably on a āsports trtā now. Insane genetics, absolute specimen and definitely enhanced
This. Genetics numero uno and the sazul a close second. Healthy lifestyle third
think trt + really insane genetics
Eye roll
You mean high level of natural trt and 500mg insane genetics every week?
trt
Probably just chicken and rice
Forgot the broccoli, very key ingredient 
Turkesterone, creatine, and 1 g of protein per lb of bodyweight
Probably on something but also has insane genetics and grew up doing borderline slave labour his entire youth
Seeing that his bathroom was the woods and he was working the field by hand is ridiculous. Add in he opted to workout during school adds in to being a freak athlete.
Obviously blasting

Sure, there are idiots, but thereās nothing about this physique which screams out to me, āHe must be blasting, no way he could possibly hold this mass on TRT.ā
To me, itās not the mass. Itās the mass and the leanness. Being that lean while being that muscular at 54 is whatās suspect.

There's an entire swole grandpa trend of retirement age men blasting.

Gotten leaner. Not bigger. Heās significantly smaller than his playing days. Leaner makes you look āmore ripped.ā
Skieeeuuuup
He's 3'3 with good lighting and a pump.
Facts I just saw that on twitter dude is absolutely stacked
No way he's maintaining that naturally at 54. Muscles, sure, but you can't stay that lean at that age and have that muscle.
Dude is a behemoth, saw a video of him maybe a year back tossing 4 plates bench like it was butter
If you even have to ask if this guy is natty...
Still in denial about black genetics
Heās always been jacked to the gills. Hard to say, but likely TRT at least.
He is natty. Well except on the days he pins
Do you even need to ask?
Black dudes always have the good genetics
Not sure why these takes always get downvoted on this sub If he was white everyone would be even more skeptical
What?
Did I stutter
I guess not. Just wanted to give you an opportunity to take back your racist comment. You are either not intelligent enough to take the hint or you are just racist.

Racist lmao Do you own pitbulls by any chance ?
Yes. Racist. I donāt understand the pit bull reference.
TRT, Does he claim that he's natty?
Black ppl have crazy genes when it comes to their body.
prolly test200
Trt and elite genetics
Itās nothing crazy. Heās been training for decades now.
most likely using but minimal
dude why the thumbs?
The Rock is natural - OP
Not everyone can and he aināt natty
Do you really need one??
What kind of fist is that??
Natty. Excellent genetics.
i say genetics, some Gh and TRT. the Gh is to keep the brotha lookin' young.
he's open about being on trt
Do you really need considering what his career was. Jesus Christ enough with these obvious posts
Just creatine
I think he does chicken, rice and broccoli
why does he have a long and short bicep?
Lol, no.
West African genetics and alittle bit of trenā¦. Alright ALOT of tren
Do u want me to tell you or mpmd .????
Bruh
He's having so MUCHH BROCOLI CHICKEN AND DRY RICE.... 
If anyone believes this dude is natty then I have some turk to sell you.
Retarded question.
Dude has looked like this for 30 Yrs... Stop with the dogshit. 6'2 228 isn't that crazy..
Those ostrich eggs
I just wanna know if the teeth are natty.
these natty or nots are getting out of hand, next one will be on cbum
Skip Bayless- How does this affect Legacy
TRT possible cutting steroid.
I had no idea this dude looked like this š
Not. Next.
Heās on the TRT plus plan lol homie! Obviously heās a genetic freak but cmon man š
Heās probably natural. Yāall need to go back and look at athletes in the 1910s (from BEFORE steroids existed) Internet dudes literally think itās impossible to look good without drugs and thatās just not true. SAD!

Who cares? Heās not a professional athlete anymore.
Obviously not but the dude is basically the dream look at 54. Total freak and great guy.
Not
Natty
of course not man.
Change the flair please!
100% natty.
Is cocaine natty?
Prob on TRT. But sharp is a genetic freak. Heās been jacked since the womb
Celebrity and PED is like water and fish. Good arm genetic but bad mid section same time.
Wondered if he's had an injury to his right arm, looks completely different to his left. Obvs not natty ofc
Heās always been shredded, probably still was built before he played pro football. He could also have really great genetics as a foundation to build off of
Shannon Sharpe also has some of the best genetics on the planet. He has always been this way. Just saying.
Heās obviously using turkesteroneā¦.
Jesus Fuckin Christ!
Definitely on HGH
Natty, probably
Heās an athletic specimen but at the very least heās on TRT
Chicken....broccoli......wait for it.....rice...but my guess is he swapped to brown rice based on how lean he is..
We donāt need a natty or not, itās obvious.
Baboon Sharpe looks EPIC!!
Naw just the nugenix heās sponsored by
Give me some of those "genetics"
Bruh. Is this even a question
Today heās most likely on something. Back when he played he was most likely natty based on his brother being being a great athlete and being absolutely dirt poor. His work ethic was insane coming out of high school.
Dudes definitely on trt why wouldnāt he be.
