Introduction

If you just do mid-range movements and you train as hard as you can, and you have somebody who's prioritizing length and range, and they're training 15% less than you, you're going to get better results than them. The co-founder of Muscle Nerds, he's traveled the world teaching for Charles Polkin and has taught thousands of personal trainers and coaches how to get better at their craft over the past 13 years, including our favorite, Ali Gilbert. Drugs amplify this stuff. They amplify everything. We have Luke Lehman. We started monitoring her blood glucose with an implant. We started berberine, myonositol, some other B vitamins, a little bit of bergamot, some extra magnesium and cut her carbs down. Now she was hypoglycemic. So I was at a party and I told my friend, yeah, I'm thinking about maybe doing some testosterone or whatever. And he goes, why not? I don't know. I don't know if I'm ready to do that. And he disappears, walks back in and I'm talking to somebody, pulls my pants down and hits me with a shot of testosterone. Go away, bro. He goes, well, you're no longer Natty. So over the last few years, everybody's gotten really obsessed about training their lats. Everybody is like masturbating to lats. What are bodybuilders good at? Moving things this direction. They're terrible at moving things to the frontal plane than the transverse plane. They never tend to do stuff because they're not bodybuilding exercises. If it is like your lats or Terry's major internal rotators, let's train those at lengthened positions so that they give the joint some space. It might be on the opposite side. It could be your shoulder flexors creating joint enclosure early. So now you have to do something different. I decided to try. I mean, I was making it costing me like 40 bucks to make tons of it. A friend of mine who's a pharmacist figured out how to pull test propionate from Cinevex. Spend 70 bucks and you would have months and months of prop and trim. Why not just take it up? See what happens because nobody else had done a dose like that that I knew of at the time. Wait, what was this dose? Before starting this podcast, I just wanted to say that ideating steroids for a full show is not widely accepted because it discounts the real work, which is the backbone of the sport, and unfortunately spreads that an unsafe chemical solution is all you need for results. Both of these are antithetical to society's understanding of the sport, and while there will always be some that claim that PEDs are all you need, I would like to deliver an honest message of what is required for achieving top performance, as well as the dangers associated with this route. I received this comment from a user named Nightscarens. but just as a rock climber the athletes undergoing this path and the sport are willing to put their life on the line for their passion just the danger between the two sports is different luckily we do have safety nets in the sport such as organ imaging and regular blood work but that doesn't change the high risk one must accept in taking on this competitive lifestyle
