At 54, Mike O’Hearn has maintained his immaculate physique through his dedication and rigorous hard work. However, one question has always kept roaming around O’Hearn’s fitness. Is he natty or not? Which means whether his body is all-natural or not. Despite clearing several times that he has attained his physique with deep austerity towards his body, the question somehow always pops up again.

A similar thing happened last year, which O’Hearn didn’t like. In a YouTube uploaded by Kenny KO on 19th July 2022, O’Hearn was questioned once again about being natty during an interview in a gym. The question triggered him and he replied with sheer sarcasm. Let us have a look at what he said.

Never ask Mike O’Hearn if he has been natty or not, period

Mike O’Hearn completed four decades since he began bodybuilding, in January this year. And in those 40 years, he has been a fitness model, bodybuilder, martial artist, and powerlifter. But above all, he has never compromised with his physique and has kept it all intact with sheer determination.

However, as the majority of professional bodybuilders use PEDs during their careers, O’Hearn automatically falls into that category for many people. Hence, he has been asked this question many times, just like the interviewer asked, “So, is the legend, The Titan, still natty?”

The Titan probably didn’t like the question as he sarcastically replied, “Well, no, I have never been natty, right?” The interviewer appreciated the sarcasm as he said, “Oh God, a troll meets a troll”. As the conversation went ahead, the interviewer once again asked, “Are you actually on like TRT though?” O’Hearn replied, “What’ would be the point though?”

The interviewer didn’t seem to back off without clearing his doubts. He followed up with a statement. He said, “Because men’s hormone levels dip as they get older”. To which, the 54-year-old bodybuilder replied in a little higher tone. He said, “No, they don’t. No, they don’t. Because you guys say that. Let me show you a guy that is a 740 at 58 years old.” The normal value for testosterone levels is 270 ng/dl to 1070 ng/dl.

The interviewer didn’t seem to stop as in the end he once again popped up the question on O’Hearn being natty. He asked, “But were you natural when you were in your teens? ” O’Hearn once again couldn’t take it as he yet again replied with sarcasm. He replied, “Well, how could I compete throughout my entire career doing drug tests and TV shows?”

Well, if we believe O’Hearn’s statements, he has been natty throughout his life. However, then what’s the secret behind his ripped physique? Let’s find out. 

O’Hearn revealed the secret behind his exquisite physique

Beginning his career while a young teenager, Mike O’Hearn has come a long way with the love he has for fitness. The 6’1″ tall American bodybuilder once spilled the beans when he spoke with the World’s Strongman, Hafthor Bjornsson, on The Mike O’ Hearn’s Show.

As they talked about O’Hearn’s ripped physique over these years, The Titan revealed the secret behind his strong and consistent physique over the decades. O’ Hearn said, “It’s keeping the joints healthy”.

He further added, “keeping the stress on the body and not giving up on that aspect.” And as he concluded, he disclosed a few basic things that must be kept in mind as one trains his body. He said, “If the knees are healthy if the back is healthy if the elbows are healthy, you can continue to train”.

Although PEDs are widely used in the sport of bodybuilding, it isn’t necessary that every one of them has administered it. O’Hearn got triggered by the repetition of questions about being natty at different stages of his life. However, he keeps saying the same thing over and over that it is all about his discipline and dedication.
