   Number 1: The Best Bulking Cycle? Can You Safely Use EQ? Mini-Cuts Don't Work, Older Guys Keep Making Progress

   You can find Will Parlaman's book "Built By Rituals" here: http://www.50rituals.com/bbr Interested in 1-on-1 physique & lifestyle coaching? Fill out the application below and get a free discovery call to see if coaching is the right fit for you: https://zl3h1q0lbmt.pro.typeform.com/to/kVhpILXi Does metformin help or hurt bodybuilding progress? What should you monitor if you use Equipoise? Can bodybuilders still make meaningful gains after 50? And do SGLT2 inhibitors have a place in harm reduction for enhanced athletes? In this video, Big Paul breaks down some of the biggest questions around bodybuilding, PEDs, health, and longevity, with a practical focus on balancing progress with risk management. Topics covered include metformin, insulin sensitivity, IGF-1 and muscle growth; Equipoise and its potential effects on estradiol, hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cells, creatinine and cystatin C; why complicated first cycles often create more problems than progress; allopregnanolone and its potential role in sleep, anxiety and high-androgen environments; SGLT2 inhibitors for glucose control, kidney protection and cardiovascular health; immune support for bodybuilders; and how training, nutrition, recovery and PED use may need to change after age 50. Paul also explains why he prefers a more conservative approach to exercise selection as lifters age, why sleep and micronutrient status matter for immune function, when a mini-cut may make sense versus committing to a full cut, and why getting lean can create a better runway for future growth. And to finish things off, he shares five metal tracks from his gym playlist that always deliver when it’s time to train hard. If you’re interested in bodybuilding, hypertrophy, PED education, bloodwork, harm reduction, longevity, contest prep, or staying muscular and healthy as you get older, this video covers a lot of ground. 📧 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 00:00 - Intro 00:59 - Shout Out To Will Parlaman & His New Book – Built By Rituals 01:45 - Does Metformin Have A Place In Bodybuilding? 06:25 - How To Evaluate Someone’s Response To EQ 15:17 - Thoughts On Bulk Cycle – 600 Test, 120 Primo, 300 NPP, 40 Tren, 25 Dbol, 10 IU HGH 18:59 - What Is Allopregnanolone Caproate & What Purpose Does It Have? 23:13 - Can SGLT-2 Inhibitors Help Prevent Cardiovascular & Kidney Issues? 30:13 - How To Support Immune Health 34:57 - Can A 50-Year-Old Bodybuilder Keep Making Progress? 40:55 - Thoughts On A Mini-Cut During A Bulk 44:42 - Top 5 Metal Songs To Workout 47:30 - Wrapping Up! #Bodybuilding #PEDs #MensHealth #MuscleGrowth #BodybuildingOver50 WARNING ======== The Video has been made available for entertainment and educational purposes only.

   Number 5: 1mg of TREN A Day Is Enough? How to Train For SIZE, How to Resolve Elbow & Shoulder Pain

   Bodybuilding, powerlifting, PEDs, training, injuries, the Olympia, Arnold Classic, clenbuterol, trenbolone, peptides and more — this video covers a massive range of topics. We start with bodybuilding competition talk, North Americans, the Olympia experience, the new Olympia stage, restrictions on taking pictures, and why the Arnold Classic remains one of the biggest fitness expos in the world. Dr. Marv Marvin then joins the conversation as things move into bodybuilding vs. powerlifting. We discuss the hardcore powerlifting community, how strength athletes train, differences between powerlifting and bodybuilding, whether younger lifters should build a strength base, using heavier weights to learn proper technique, training to failure, machines, and lifting straps. The conversation then moves into PEDs and bodybuilding pharmacology, including low-dose tren during a cut vs. bulk, YK-11, frequent injection schedules, clenbuterol side effects, ephedrine vs. clen, old-school pre-workouts, biological hormones, and how Paul would have approached cycling differently when he was younger. We also cover common issues lifters face after years of training: arthritis pain, BPC and TB peptides, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, shoulder pain, sleep and cardiovascular concerns, and Paul’s experience with a prostate procedure for BPH. If you’re interested in bodybuilding, muscle growth, strength training, PED discussion, contest prep, injury management, powerlifting, or the enhanced bodybuilding world, there’s a lot packed into this one. 📧 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 0:01:16 - 2nd Place Means You’re The First Loser 0:02:19 - There Were A Lot Of Competitors At North Americans 0:03:33 - Money Donated Goes To The Arnold Dinner Fund 0:05:57 - Who’s Going To The Olympia?
