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.
