In this episode, we get into using your strongest tools early in a cut versus saving them for when progress stalls—and why I prefer a slower, more measured approach to getting lean.

I also discuss why trenbolone may become harder to manage alongside higher testosterone and estrogen, the relationship between estradiol and prolactin-related side effects, and why adding another drug to fix a side effect isn’t always the best approach.

For competitors, we go deep into GH during peak week, including when I might leave growth hormone in, when I might pull it, and why dramatic last-minute changes before stepping on stage can backfire.

We also cover one of the biggest questions after a bodybuilding show: reverse diet or rebound? I explain why the answer changes depending on how lean you are, how much weight you’ve lost, and whether you’re coming out of contest prep or finishing a long-term fat-loss phase.

Other topics include pre- vs. post-workout insulin, GLP-1s, high-carb days, metformin vs. empagliflozin, diet soda during contest prep, estrogen and stubborn body fat, meal prep services, elevated hematocrit and hemoglobin, sleep apnea, and why long periods of calorie restriction can hurt your sleep.

If you're serious about bodybuilding, getting leaner while preserving muscle, or better understanding responsible performance enhancement, this episode covers a lot of ground.
