In this episode, we cover some great topics, including whether 19-nors like nandrolone can affect the brain with prolonged use, if Tren’s side effects are amplified during a calorie deficit, and how HGH can negatively impact sleep for some people. We also break down key insights on female hormone levels—covering total T, free T, and SHBG—explain why men almost never need T3 supplementation, and share what the best starting testosterone dose looks like when beginning a growth phase.

We’re back with another Anabolic Q&A where I answer your questions to get you better results and keep you safer from the stupid crap you know you love to do. Today, we’re pulling the curtain back on training mechanics, bloodwork red flags, and the "open vs. classic" debate.
Inside This Episode:
✅ The "Waist" Debate: Do squats and deadlifts actually widen your midsection?
✅ Hypertrophy Drivers: Mechanical tension vs. volume—what really builds the most muscle?
✅ Bloodwork Deep Dive: At what AST/ALT levels should you actually worry about your liver?
✅ The "Test & GH" Ceiling: How big can you realistically get with just the basics?
✅ Peptide Science: Stacking Tirzepatide and Retatrutide—synergy or redundant side effects?
✅ Rebound Phase: How to structure your "post-bulk" cruise to lock in every ounce of muscle.
✅ The Masteron Effect: Why "contest prep" drugs in the offseason can make you look like an "old leather pocketbook."
✅ Nicotine on Gear: Why Zyn/Nicotine vasoconstriction is a dangerous combo for your heart.
✅ The "Hold" Phase: Is "cementing in" gains bro-science or a mandatory strategy?
✅ Injectable L-Carnitine: Is it worth the pain? Plus, why you should NEVER mix it with your GH

In this livestream, Paul dives into the growing issue of fake testosterone and the importance of checking total test levels, shares his experience seeing poor bloodwork from EQ, and gives his perspective on classic bodybuilding culture and how the conversation around gear has changed over time. He discusses cycle structure, including EQ vs. Primo and what a safer masters competitor cycle might look like, along with practical advice on injection sites and needle sizes. The episode also covers carb cycling for highly active individuals, training philosophy as you age, loaded stretching, deadlift grip variations, offseason cardio, and why the “best” cycle is always individual.

A rapid-fire Q&A with IFBB pro Big Paul.
In this episode, Big Paul dives deep into TRT updates, shoulder health, and hard truths about joints, tendons, and long-term progress while using PEDs. We break down popular compounds (Dbol, Anadrol, Primo, EQ, NPP, HGH, insulin, peptides) and cover real health markers like HbA1C, liver enzymes, thyroid issues, E2 management, and dizziness or bloat side effects. You’ll also hear practical advice on cutting, bulking, cruising, peaking clients, insulin safety, and whether muscle growth is still on the table in your 60s. No fluff—just blunt, experience-based takes on what works, what doesn’t, and when to stop overthinking recomps and changes.

It expands into supplements, protein intake, GLP-1s, insulin, HGH, TRT management, and the often-overlooked health considerations enhanced lifters need to understand.

Ready to go from “holiday fluffy” to shredded for summer? In this video, Big Paul breaks down exactly how fat loss works (no BS), what actually matters for getting lean, and how to do it without losing muscle or wrecking your metabolism.
You’ll learn the real “3 levers” for fat loss:
✅ Eat less (diet strategy first)
✅ Do more cardio (smart, not savage)
✅ Use fat burners strategically (including GLP-1s, stimulants, etc.)
Plus, why macros are better than calorie counting for body composition, how carb cycling can help you stay strong and full while leaning out, and what to realistically expect with weekly fat loss (spoiler: 1–2 lbs/week is the sweet spot for keeping muscle).
What’s inside:
💥 The fastest way to lose fat (and why cardio isn’t the first move)
💥 How to use carb cycling + refeeds without getting fat
💥 Why protein stays high (and usually shouldn’t change)
💥 How to adjust carbs/cardio when you stall (small moves that work)
💥 Why intense cardio can make you look/feel like trash
💥 How long to run a fat loss phase (16–20 weeks) + when to take a diet break
💥 How people accidentally create metabolic damage (and how to avoid it)
In this episode, Big Paul opens up about his sky-high hemoglobin levels and the ongoing effects of GLP-1 medications — from appetite control to potential impacts on iron and cravings. We also dive into a 100mg Dbol study that shocked everyone, plus a deep look at Arnold’s legendary physique and how bodybuilding standards have changed.
