Think BIG Bodybuilding

Scott McNally and Dave Crosland are back with a slightly different start to Drugs n Stuff. Before getting into the usual steroid talk, Scott surprises Dave with a gift he definitely wasn’t expecting.

Then it’s into Steroids in the News with a recent steroid bust that affected a lot of people in the community, including a breakdown of the compounds involved. From there, Scott and Dave get into listener questions and stories — including someone claiming to have used 600mg of oral steroids per day, first-cycle Tren, low-dose EQ for estrogen control, some insane bulking experiences, Deca + EQ vs. Test + Deca, whether high natural testosterone changes cycle design, alternatives to Primo, low-dose Deca with TRT, teenage steroid use and brain development, and the growing debate around “neurotoxic” steroids.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done to bulk? Dave Crosland and Scott McNally look back at the extremes bodybuilders will go to in the pursuit of size — and how distorted your perception of your own body can become along the way.

Then we get into your questions on a 15-year-old using Test, Tren and Mast, whether peptides are getting out of hand, post-cycle sexual performance, choosing a second compound with testosterone, whether different steroids actually build different-looking physiques, gaining muscle after massive weight loss, GLP-1s and muscle growth, testosterone-to-estrogen ratios, Arimidex, ephedrine and more.

Eli Lilly is escalating its fight against companies selling unapproved retatrutide — and this time, the lawsuits could have implications far beyond GLP-1s. Dave Crosland and Scott McNally break down what makes these lawsuits different and what they could mean for research chemical and peptide companies serving the bodybuilding world.

Then we get into your questions on Dianabol and estrogen testing, Raloxifene vs. Tamoxifen, cycling with an enlarged prostate, insulin protocols, long-term low-dose Anavar, micro dosing Tren, Masteron and vision issues, and more.
