In this episode, we cover some of the most asked (and most misunderstood) topics in bodybuilding and PED culture, including:
✅ BPC-157 for injury recovery — how it’s actually used, realistic expectations, and why year-round peptide use can be a bad idea✅ Insulin and fat gain — how exogenous insulin can make you fat, how bodybuilders use it to improve fullness/performance, and what diet/training setups get people in trouble✅ Growth hormone year-round — real-world pros/cons, common long-term issues (water retention, carpal tunnel, insulin resistance), and smarter ways to dose✅ Starting bodybuilding at 25 vs 45 — training style, recovery priorities, diet strategy, and how PED approaches tend to change with age

In this episode, we dive deep into contest prep and rebound strategies, including how to stay consistent with check-ins, manage strength gains, and adjust training as you advance in bodybuilding. We break down major pro bodybuilding storylines and Arnold Classic predictions, covering athletes like Hadi, Samson, and Martin Fitzwater, plus why posing practice always matters. The conversation also hits training longevity, injury prevention, and why certain lifts may not be worth the risk for bodybuilders. To wrap it up, we get into nutrition, supplements, and PED discussions—from prep-friendly foods and Super Bowl snacks to fat loss peptides, HGH timing, gut health, sleep issues, and real-world side effects.

In this episode, the conversation dives into the realities of bodybuilding coaching, from tracking client progress and managing the psychological demands of prep to the nuance that separates good coaches from great ones. It expands into supplements, protein intake, GLP-1s, insulin, HGH, TRT management, and the often-overlooked health considerations enhanced lifters need to understand. Along the way, there are unfiltered stories, industry rants, practical cooking tips, and plenty of humor before wrapping up with cardio, prep decisions, and lighthearted moments.
