E. 95 PEDs & Boundaries: How to Know When You’ve Gone Too Far With Brianny Terry


Listen Later

In this episode, I sat down with Brianny Terry to discuss performance-enhancing drug (PED) use in the bodybuilding space—especially in women’s divisions. We got candid about dosage, risks, and the unspoken sacrifices that come with elite physique development. From the idea of preserving femininity to the reality of internal health concerns, we unpack what it really means to walk the fine line of physical enhancement. Brianny shares how she personally defines her “hard stop,” the value of choice even when it’s not fun, and the realities behind compounds like anavar and winstrol.


This conversation is a must-listen if you’re an athlete considering performance enhancement, a coach looking to support your athletes better, or someone curious about the lived experience behind the physique stage.
