Anabolic Bodybuilding

In this Anabolic Q&A, Big Paul breaks down some of the biggest questions in bodybuilding, TRT, muscle growth, fat loss, nutrition, training, and performance enhancement — with a strong focus on making smarter decisions and reducing unnecessary risk. We dig into estradiol management on TRT, what really drives muscle hypertrophy beyond just testosterone levels, how IGF-1, SHBG, thyroid function, insulin sensitivity, liver health, micronutrients, and metabolic health can affect your ability to grow, and why optimizing your overall health may matter just as much as pushing anabolic hormones. We also cover what it really takes to get below 10% body fat while preserving muscle, why getting stage lean becomes a completely different challenge, how to structure a hypertrophy-focused training phase, whether increased training frequency can help lagging muscle groups, and why exercise execution may be more important than simply adding more volume. Other topics include: • Managing high estradiol on TRT and testosterone cycles • SHBG, free testosterone, boron, and Tongkat Ali • The physiological drivers of muscle hypertrophy • Getting from 10% body fat to stage conditioning • Training after a terrible night of sleep • Improving lagging shoulders and biceps • OTC fat burners and what actually matters for fat loss • Equipoise, nandrolone, testosterone, and hormone management One of the biggest themes in this episode: stop obsessing over the last 1% while ignoring the fundamentals. Training quality, nutrition, recovery, metabolic health, blood work, and intelligent programming all have to work together if you want to maximize muscle growth and physique progress. 📧 For exclusive inside Information and free articles, join my mailing list: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/email-list Subscribe to my Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCjQmfhe1yyDsRjCVedA5IBA  🎓 Mentorship Group: https://www.skool.com/big-pauls-mentorship/about 📘 The Science of Anabolics E-Course: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/the-science-of-anabolics-performance-enhancing-drugs 🗺️ Get The Ultimate Cycle Cheat Sheet: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/cheatsheet 💪 Team ANABOLIC BODYBUILDING: https://www.skool.com/teamanabolicbodybuilding 💪 For Coaching or Consultations, go to: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ 📧 Contact BigPaul at: https://zl3h1q0lbmt.typeform.com/to/vqzGP4mG SOCIAL MEDIA 🤘 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulkbarnett/ 🔈 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PKOCKSDh6ZeaLmVoHF60z 🆇 Formerly Twitter: https://twitter.com/paulb3rd 🤮 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialanabolicbodybuilding/ 🎬 RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/AnabolicBodybuilding 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anabolic-bodybuilding/ 📘 E-Books: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ebooks 💪 FREE Training Programs: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/free_stuff 🧪 For Blood Panels: www.UltaLabTests.com/bigpaulmedia 📘 E-Books: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ebooks 💪 FREE Training Programs: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/free_stuff #Bodybuilding #TRT #MuscleGrowth #Hypertrophy #Testosterone #Estradiol #BodybuildingNutrition #FatLoss #PEDs #HormoneOptimization #BodybuildingTraining #ContestPrep 00:00 - Intro 01:32 -  Make Sure You’re Subscribed! + Spots Available For Coaching & VIP Coaching! 02:36 - Thoughts On Boron & Tongkat Ali To Lower SHBG 05:46 - Should You Manage Estradiol Levels While On True TRT? 13:44 - Humalog Vs.

Do you really need a caloric surplus to build muscle—or can you keep gaining size at maintenance calories or even in a calorie deficit? In this episode, Big Paul breaks down one of the biggest debates in the science-based hypertrophy community: whether a calorie surplus is necessary for optimal muscle growth. While body recomposition is possible under certain conditions, especially for beginners or people with higher body-fat levels, does “possible” automatically mean “optimal”? This discussion explores: • Building muscle in a calorie deficit • Muscle growth at maintenance calories • Body recomposition versus dedicated bulking and cutting phases • Why beginners and advanced bodybuilders may require different approaches • The relationship between body-fat levels, training performance, recovery, and hypertrophy • Macronutrient distribution and nutrient partitioning • Carb cycling, glycogen storage, and workout performance • The difference between gaining productive bodyweight and simply getting fat • What decades of competitive bodybuilding can teach us alongside controlled research • Why maintenance calories are a constantly moving target The goal is not to dismiss exercise science or promote reckless bulking. It is to examine whether a small, intelligently managed calorie surplus remains the most efficient strategy for experienced lifters trying to maximize muscle gain while minimizing fat accumulation. Can someone become truly massive while staying at maintenance calories indefinitely? Or does meaningful long-term hypertrophy eventually require pushing food? Share your experience and opinion in the comments. Keep the discussion respectful—even when you strongly disagree. 📧 For exclusive inside Information and free articles, join my mailing list: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/email-list Subscribe to my Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCjQmfhe1yyDsRjCVedA5IBA  🎓 Mentorship Group: https://www.skool.com/big-pauls-mentorship/about 📘 The Science of Anabolics E-Course: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/the-science-of-anabolics-performance-enhancing-drugs 🗺️ Get The Ultimate Cycle Cheat Sheet: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/cheatsheet 💪 Team ANABOLIC BODYBUILDING: https://www.skool.com/teamanabolicbodybuilding 💪 For Coaching or Consultations, go to: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ 📧 Contact BigPaul at: https://zl3h1q0lbmt.typeform.com/to/vqzGP4mG SOCIAL MEDIA 🤘 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulkbarnett/ 🔈 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PKOCKSDh6ZeaLmVoHF60z 🆇 Formerly Twitter: https://twitter.com/paulb3rd 🤮 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialanabolicbodybuilding/ 🎬 RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/AnabolicBodybuilding 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anabolic-bodybuilding/ 📘 E-Books: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ebooks 💪 FREE Training Programs: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/free_stuff 🧪 For Blood Panels: www.UltaLabTests.com/bigpaulmedia 📘 E-Books: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ebooks 💪 FREE Training Programs: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/free_stuff #MuscleGrowth #CaloricSurplus #Hypertrophy #Bodybuilding #BodyRecomposition #MuscleBuilding #Bulking #FitnessNutrition #MaintenanceCalories #ScienceBasedFitness WARNING ======== The Video has been made available for entertainment and educational purposes only.

Can you build muscle without a calorie surplus—and how much of today’s bodybuilding advice is just confident misinformation? This roundtable gets brutally honest about what works, what’s overcomplicated, and what could be putting your progress or health at risk. The panel breaks down contest prep and coaching dynamics, why switching coaches mid-prep can create more problems than it solves, and how long it really takes to understand an athlete’s metabolism, communication style, and response patterns.

Can genetics stop you from building muscle—even when your training, nutrition, recovery, and performance-enhancement strategy are dialed in? In this anabolic bodybuilding Q&A, Big Paul answers real questions about muscle growth, progressive overload, exercise selection, fat loss, hormone optimization, coaching, and responsible performance enhancement. Topics covered include low-dose nandrolone and joint discomfort, when to change your training program, what a high-quality personal training session should look like, and whether a coach should simply push you or also teach you the reasoning behind each exercise. Paul also breaks down shoulder presses versus lateral raises for complete delt development, why genetics affect muscle-building potential, whether cold rice and resistant starch can cause digestive issues, and how long carb cycling can remain effective during a fat-loss phase. The discussion also explores why IGF-1 levels may drop during a calorie deficit, whether the upper and lower body require different training approaches, hormone replacement considerations for women, Masteron and Primobolan ratios, reps-in-reserve training, water retention while using insulin, and whether Paul plans to attend the 2026 Mr. Olympia.

There is no universal protocol: genetics, health markers, goals, drug response, diet and training history can all change the outcome. 0:00:00 Intro 0:02:20 Contest Prep, Cycle Update & Summer Diet 0:10:59 Anavar, Low SHBG & Joint Pain 0:12:01 Optimal IGF-1 for Muscle Growth 0:12:59 Why Primo + Mast Is So Popular 0:15:53 GH & Rising Fasting Glucose 0:18:59 Primo + Mast: Bulk or Cut? 0:19:21 IGF-1 LR3 Review 0:21:10 Injectable vs. Oral SLU-PP-332 0:23:31 HGH Edema & Numb Fingers 0:27:03 PSMF Diet Tips 0:29:34 Mitochondrial Enhancers During a Bulk 0:31:58 Low SHBG on Test + Primo 0:32:32 High Hematocrit with Low Iron 0:34:56 Can Tren Improve Sleep? 0:35:10 When Does HGH Start Working? 0:38:34 Is Deca as Anabolic as Tren? 0:38:43 Why Run HGH + Insulin Pre-Workout? 0:41:35 Tricep Tendon Pain on Cycle 0:42:20 How High Can You Push Test? 0:44:59 Low-Dose Tren for ADHD? 0:49:19 Does Perfect Form Matter? 0:51:47 How Long Can You Run Tamoxifen? 0:53:11 Libido Issues on Cycle & Proviron 0:57:51 Weight Gain After Coming Off Cycle 0:58:34 Why EQ Has Fewer Side Effects 1:01:10 Primo for a TRT Cut? 1:03:15 NPP vs. Deca on a Cruise 1:06:09 Anavar 3x/Week During a Cut 1:07:59 Blood Work Targets & Red Flags 1:10:35 Is the Rebound Effect Real? 1:11:01 Lower Resting Heart Rate 1:11:17 Choosing Testosterone Esters 1:11:38 Test Only + AI Off-Season 1:13:21 Ideal Body Fat for Lean Bulking 1:14:15 SGLT2 Inhibitors for Bodybuilding 1:15:35 Should Skinny Guys Cut First? 1:17:15 Is HGH Worth It for Fat Loss? 1:18:07 Cardio Tips for People Who Hate Cardio 1:18:57 300 Test / 200 Primo / 50 Deca 1:20:07 Post-Show Rebound Success 1:20:51 SARMs vs. Steroids 1:21:24 Tracking Body Fat with Loose Skin 1:22:42 HGH & Cystatin C 1:23:41 Test-to-Mast Ratio for Bulking 1:26:36 Genetics & Anabolic Response 1:27:22 Breaking a Fat Loss Plateau 1:27:57 High Morning Cortisol While Dieting 1:30:00 Untracked Sushi Before a Bulk? 📧 For exclusive inside Information, join The Anabolic Mail List: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/email-list 💪TEAM ANABOLIC BODYBUILDING - Members Only Community: https://www.skool.com/teamanabolicbodybuilding/about 🎓THE SCIENCE OF ANABOLICS E-COURSE - Free Preview https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/the-science-of-anabolics-performance-enhancing-drugs 🗺️ Get The Ultimate Cycle Cheat Sheet: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/cheatsheet FOLLOW: 🤘 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulkbarnett/ 🔈 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PKOCKSDh6ZeaLmVoHF60z 🆇 Formerly Twitter: https://twitter.com/paulb3rd #Bodybuilding #ContestPrep #AnabolicSteroids #HGH #TRT #Primobolan #Masteron #FatLoss #MuscleGrowth #BodybuildingDiet WARNING ======== The Video has been made available for entertainment and educational purposes only.

Contest prep season is here, and this episode gets real about what separates serious bodybuilders from people who only say they want it. We talk about the mental toughness required for bodybuilding prep, why hunger is not the same as starvation, how prep exposes weak points, and why good coaching sometimes means knowing when to push harder — and when to pull back. The conversation also dives into coach integrity, fake AI transformations, social media credibility, and why trust matters when someone is guiding your physique, health, bloodwork, nutrition, and performance-enhancing drug decisions. From AI-generated before-and-afters to coaches relying too heavily on ChatGPT, this episode breaks down where technology can help — and where it can seriously mislead people who do not already understand the subject. We also cover digital consumption, dopamine, social media addiction, training focus, phone-free workouts, and why modern algorithms can mess with your mindset. Then we get into bodybuilding Q&A, including reverse dieting after a long deficit, managing food increases, cardio reductions, peri-workout carbs, thyroid compounds, TRT bloodwork response, insulin timing, clenbuterol and yohimbine, 19-nors, prolactin, estrogen management, and the risks that come with trying to shortcut the process. This is a raw, unfiltered bodybuilding podcast for serious lifters, competitors, coaches, enhanced athletes, and anyone trying to understand the realities behind contest prep, coaching ethics, PED use, performance, health, and long-term progress. Subscribe for more no-BS bodybuilding discussions, coaching insight, contest prep talk, and advanced Q&A on training, nutrition, hormones, and physique development. 📧 For exclusive inside Information, join The Anabolic Mail List: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/email-list 💪TEAM ANABOLIC BODYBUILDING - Members Only Community: https://www.skool.com/teamanabolicbodybuilding/about 🎓THE SCIENCE OF ANABOLICS E-COURSE - Free Preview https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/the-science-of-anabolics-performance-enhancing-drugs 🗺️ Get The Ultimate Cycle Cheat Sheet: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/cheatsheet FOLLOW: 🤘 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulkbarnett/ 🔈 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PKOCKSDh6ZeaLmVoHF60z 🆇 Formerly Twitter: https://twitter.com/paulb3rd WARNING ======== The Video has been made available for entertainment and educational purposes only.

Bodybuilding prep is getting real — and this episode goes deep. The crew breaks down contest prep updates, fast weight drops, high-carb refeeds, gym culture, and what actually moves the needle when you’re trying to grow, cut, recover, and stay healthy. From Five Guys high days and leg-day gym talk to serious discussion around TRT, testosterone, EQ, Masteron, Primo, Deca, Tren, YK11, GLP-1s, HGH timing, insulin use, estrogen management, blood work, tendon pain, and recovery, this is a packed bodybuilding roundtable for lifters who want more than surface-level answers. We also get into why food, training, recovery, and blood markers matter before simply adding more compounds — plus practical discussion on elbow tendon pain, contest prep decision-making, sleep, hydration, and the risks that come with pushing performance too far. 📧 For exclusive inside Information, join The Anabolic Mail List: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/email-list 💪TEAM ANABOLIC BODYBUILDING - Members Only Community: https://www.skool.com/teamanabolicbodybuilding/about 🎓THE SCIENCE OF ANABOLICS E-COURSE - Free Preview https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/the-science-of-anabolics-performance-enhancing-drugs 🗺️ Get The Ultimate Cycle Cheat Sheet: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/cheatsheet FOLLOW: 🤘 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulkbarnett/ 🔈 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PKOCKSDh6ZeaLmVoHF60z 🆇 Formerly Twitter: https://twitter.com/paulb3rd 0:00:00 - Intro 0:01:19 - Big Paul’s Prep Is Starting To Roll + Five Guys Has Gotten Expensive 0:05:00 - Everyone Knows Big Paul Around Virginia 0:06:36 - Big Paul’s Thoughts On DMV Iron & The Shop Gym 0:09:09 - Shaving Makes You Lose 4% Body Fat!

In this anabolic bodybuilding Q&A, Big Paul breaks down some of the most asked questions about enhanced bodybuilding, muscle growth, fat loss, bloodwork, TRT, carb cycling, and responsible performance enhancement. We cover whether insulin is truly effective as an anabolic tool, why it can be dangerous when misused, and why diet, training volume, carbohydrate intake, and insulin sensitivity matter before even considering it. You’ll also hear thoughts on unilateral training for lagging body parts, how to judge calorie deficits during a cut, and why weekly fat loss trends and check-in photos often matter more than trying to calculate the perfect daily deficit.

Contest season is here, and this bodybuilding Q&A goes deep into the real-world decisions serious lifters, coaches, and competitors face when trying to build muscle, stay lean, rebound properly, and prepare for the stage. In this episode, we cover Big Paul’s 12-week-out update, how to place high, medium, and low carb days during carb cycling, what to do when weight stalls during a rebound, and how to adjust your diet when coming out of a cut. We also dig into estrogen management, vascularity, hematocrit and RBC values, realistic annual costs for amateur competitors, and whether a man dieting on 1,500 calories is making the right move. The Q&A also covers PED-related bodybuilding topics including older guys using PEDs for fat loss, thoughts on MENT, switching from HGH to tesamorelin, GLP-3 and anxiety, how to know if tren is real, how PED doses accumulate in serum over time, and whether compounds like ezetimibe and telmisartan should stay in during a cruise. Plus, we talk practical home gym setup with the top 3 machines for building a serious physique at home, and Big Paul breaks down how he approaches high carb days during prep. Whether you’re in contest prep, coming out of a cut, trying to rebound without getting sloppy, or simply trying to understand bodybuilding at a deeper level, this Q&A is packed with practical insight for competitors and advanced lifters. 📧 For exclusive inside Information and free articles, join my mailing list: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/email-list Subscribe to my Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCjQmfhe1yyDsRjCVedA5IBA  📘 The Science of Anabolics E-Course: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/the-science-of-anabolics-performance-enhancing-drugs 🗺️ Get The Ultimate Cycle Cheat Sheet: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/cheatsheet 💪 Team ANABOLIC BODYBUILDING: https://www.skool.com/teamanabolicbodybuilding 💪 For Coaching or Consultations, go to: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ 📧 Contact BigPaul at: https://zl3h1q0lbmt.typeform.com/to/vqzGP4mG SOCIAL MEDIA 🤘 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulkbarnett/ 🔈 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PKOCKSDh6ZeaLmVoHF60z 🆇 Formerly Twitter: https://twitter.com/paulb3rd 🤮 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialanabolicbodybuilding/ 🎬 RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/AnabolicBodybuilding 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anabolic-bodybuilding/ 📘 E-Books: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ebooks 💪 FREE Training Programs: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/free_stuff 🧪 For Blood Panels: www.UltaLabTests.com/bigpaulmedia 📘 E-Books: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ebooks 💪 FREE Training Programs: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/free_stuff 00:00 - Intro 01:28 - It’s Contest Season!

In this anabolic Q&A, Big Paul breaks down some of the most common questions from the Anabolic Bodybuilding Members Community — covering growth hormone, fat loss drugs, insulin use, carb cycling, PED health management, training styles, and electrolyte balance for bodybuilders. We’re talking about whether HGH can affect mood or irritability, how GLP-1s compare to clenbuterol and metformin for fat loss, why insulin timing matters, and when heavy legs, low energy, and poor performance may be signs that it’s time to end a blast and move into a health-focused cruise phase. Paul also dives into SS-31 and mitochondrial health, sermorelin and growth hormone secretagogues for older men, FST-7 training for hypertrophy, reverse T3 and metabolic adaptation during a cut, plus the real differences between Himalayan pink salt, regular iodized salt, and light salt for hydration, blood pressure, potassium, iodine, and performance. If you’re serious about bodybuilding, hormone optimization, fat loss, muscle gain, contest prep, or responsible performance enhancement, this Q&A is packed with practical discussion for lifters who want to make smarter decisions and stay healthier while pushing their physique. 📧 For exclusive inside Information and free articles, join my mailing list: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/email-list Subscribe to my Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCjQmfhe1yyDsRjCVedA5IBA  📘 The Science of Anabolics E-Course: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/the-science-of-anabolics-performance-enhancing-drugs 🗺️ Get The Ultimate Cycle Cheat Sheet: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/cheatsheet 💪 Team ANABOLIC BODYBUILDING: https://www.skool.com/teamanabolicbodybuilding 💪 For Coaching or Consultations, go to: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ 📧 Contact BigPaul at: https://zl3h1q0lbmt.typeform.com/to/vqzGP4mG SOCIAL MEDIA 🤘 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulkbarnett/ 🔈 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PKOCKSDh6ZeaLmVoHF60z 🆇 Formerly Twitter: https://twitter.com/paulb3rd 🤮 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialanabolicbodybuilding/ 🎬 RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/AnabolicBodybuilding 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anabolic-bodybuilding/ 📘 E-Books: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ebooks 💪 FREE Training Programs: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/free_stuff 🧪 For Blood Panels: www.UltaLabTests.com/bigpaulmedia 📘 E-Books: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ebooks 💪 FREE Training Programs: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/free_stuff 00:00 - Intro 01:34 - Big Paul Has A Few Coaching & Mentorship Spots Available! 02:28 - Thoughts On SS-31 06:41 - Can HGH Make Someone More Irritable? 10:01 - Fat Loss From Clen Vs.

Big Paul sits down with Molecular for a deep dive into Equipoise, also known as boldenone, and why this compound has become one of the most controversial anabolic steroids in bodybuilding right now. Follow Molecular: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_molecular/ YouTube:  @Molecular-y8f  Beacons: beacons.ai/_molecular After seeing a huge rise in blood work issues from PED users running Equipoise, Big Paul brings Molecular on to break down what may be happening behind the scenes. They discuss real-world blood panel trends, elevated hematocrit and hemoglobin, kidney health concerns, cystatin C, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, smashed estradiol, anxiety, hypoxia, blood viscosity, and the complicated metabolism of boldenone. Molecular also explains his theory around boldenone metabolites, possible estrone-like activity, equilin, estrogen receptor beta, aromatase suppression, and why fixing crashed estrogen from Equipoise may not be as simple as people think. If you use PEDs, coach enhanced athletes, follow bodybuilding pharmacology, or want a more advanced conversation about steroid side effects and blood work interpretation, this interview is packed with valuable insight. Topics discussed include: • Equipoise / boldenone side effects • High hematocrit and hemoglobin on EQ • Kidney stress and long-term renal health • Cystatin C vs creatinine for bodybuilders • Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio • Estradiol suppression from Equipoise • Boldenone anxiety and possible hypoxia • Blood viscosity and red blood cell deformability • Pentoxifylline, telmisartan, hydration, and risk management • Boldenone metabolites, ADD, 1-AD, ATD, and equilin theory • Why Equipoise may be harder to manage than people think • Molecular’s upcoming trenbolone deep dive #Equipoise #Boldenone #Bodybuilding #PEDs #Steroids #Bloodwork #KidneyHealth #Hematocrit #Estradiol #EnhancedBodybuilding #BigPaul #Molecular 📧 For exclusive inside Information and free articles, join my mailing list: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/email-list Subscribe to my Clips Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UCjQmfhe1yyDsRjCVedA5IBA 📘 The Science of Anabolics E-Course: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/the-science-of-anabolics-performance-enhancing-drugs 🗺️ Get The Ultimate Cycle Cheat Sheet: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/cheatsheet 💪 Team ANABOLIC BODYBUILDING: https://www.skool.com/teamanabolicbodybuilding 💪 For Coaching or Consultations, go to: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ 📧 Contact BigPaul at: https://zl3h1q0lbmt.typeform.com/to/vqzGP4mG SOCIAL MEDIA 🤘 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulkbarnett/ 🔈 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PKOCKSDh6ZeaLmVoHF60z 🆇 Formerly Twitter: https://twitter.com/paulb3rd 🤮 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialanabolicbodybuilding/ 🎬 RUMBLE: https://rumble.com/c/AnabolicBodybuilding 🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/anabolic-bodybuilding/ 📘 E-Books: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ebooks 💪 FREE Training Programs: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/free_stuff 🧪 For Blood Panels: www.UltaLabTests.com/bigpaulmedia 📘 E-Books: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/ebooks 💪 FREE Training Programs: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/free_stuff #bodybuilding WARNING ======== The Video has been made available for entertainment and educational purposes only.
