Think BIG Bodybuilding

Can you build an impressive physique when you’re broke? Ron Partlow, Dusty Hanshaw, and Scott McNally discuss what it really costs to build muscle on this episode of It’s Just Bodybuilding.

From food and supplements to gym memberships, we compare bodybuilding costs in 2010 and 2026 and debate where your money makes the biggest difference. Are you paying for better results or convenience? We weigh meal prep services against cooking at home, discuss organic food, and play “Keep It or Cut It?” with bodybuilding expenses.

We also discuss why you don’t need perfect conditions to make progress. Overthinking sleep, nutrition, and training “optimization” can become another reason to put things off.

Then court is in session! Play along with Bodybuilding Court as we deliver verdicts on questionable bodybuilding behavior. Plus, listener feedback, American gun culture, Thanksgiving, and the story behind Ron’s 1993 squat video.

What’s your best bodybuilding money-saving tip? Send us your ideas and questions for a future episode.

Dave Crosland shares his firsthand account of witnessing a bodybuilder collapse on stage at the PCA finals, where Dave’s wife was the first person to try to help. Dave and Scott McNally discuss the media coverage, cruel online comments, and criticism that followed the bodybuilder’s death. We do not speculate about the cause of death.

Also on Drugs n Stuff: looksmaxxing influencer Clavicular, concerns about content encouraging teenagers to take high doses of anabolic steroids, and the potential long-term consequences of chasing an extreme appearance.

Then we answer listener questions about fertility after steroid use, Anavar-only cycles, choosing between GLP medications, increasing PED use, fat-loss approaches, and building a physique for a specific bodybuilding division.

Which steroids have the worst side effects? On Blood Sweat & Gear, coaches Skip Hill, Andrew Berry, and Scott McNally each share their own steroid side-effect tier list, comparing rankings and debating their biggest disagreements.

Visit https://thinkbigbodybuilding.com to check out our peptide and research affiliate links and available discount codes.

We rank testosterone, nandrolone, Equipoise, Masteron, Primobolan, trenbolone, DHB, Anavar, Winstrol, Anadrol, Superdrol, and Halotestin by side effects rather than muscle-building potential. The discussion draws on our coaching experience and personal perspectives, with individual response, dose, and duration all affecting the picture.

Then we tackle listener questions about insulin and early morning workouts, training intensity, breathing during squats, testosterone esters, controlling appetite on a bulk, and switching compounds during a cycle. We also discuss returning to training after surgery and managing bodybuilding alongside a physical job after 40.

Anavar in 2026: muscle growth, side effects, and what’s changed in our experience. Dave Crosland and Scott McNally revisit oxandrolone with an updated profile on DNS, discussing dosing perspectives, common bodybuilding uses, considerations for women, diminishing returns, and availability.

Scott shares how his opinion shifted after revisiting Anavar with coaching clients over the past year, and why the cholesterol changes he observed have him reconsidering the trade-off.

In our listener Q&A, we discuss testosterone, Primobolan and Anadrol, back spasms during a cycle, Dave’s experiences with oral steroids, and whether sublingual administration changes the risks of oral AAS and YK-11. We also address a listener’s report of anaphylactic shock involving cagrilintide, nitrogen retention as a measure of steroid strength, and getting started as an online coach.

What are the biggest PED mistakes experienced bodybuilding coaches have made? Skip Hill, Andrew Berry, and Scott McNally share personal stories and lessons learned on Blood Sweat & Gear, then tackle growth hormone questions in bodybuilding.

Starting with a rough clenbuterol experience, we discuss mistakes we’ve made and why “bioidentical” doesn’t automatically mean safe. Then we cover GH and insulin resistance, berberine and metformin for insulin sensitivity, every-other-day growth hormone dosing, and questions about the supply of pharmaceutical GH.

Plus, unusually high IGF-1 levels, Skip’s experience with Increlex, a listener physique critique, and some behind-the-scenes TV talk.

Hadi Choopan is preparing for the 2027 Arnold Classic with Milos Sarcev. Could this partnership bring his best look yet? Ron Partlow, Dusty Hanshaw and Scott McNally discuss how Hadi could stack up against Nick Walker, Andrew Jacked and Samson Dauda in a potential showdown between four former Arnold Classic champions.

After missing the Olympia, Hadi is the matchup we didn’t get to see. We discuss what Milos could bring to his physique, his reputation for emphasizing insulin, high carbs and muscle fullness, and how his training approach compares with Hadi’s.

Plus, a quick Prague Pro discussion, one-day vs. two-day bodybuilding shows, and Two Truths & a Lie featuring bodybuilding legends. Play along with Ron and Dusty, then stick around for a listener physique critique and football talk.

YK-11 in bodybuilding: what does the science actually show, and how much is hype? Dave Crosland and Scott McNally break down the myostatin inhibitor claims, injectable YK-11 concerns, its chemical structure, and questions about dosing, cycle length, and testosterone suppression on Drugs ’n’ Stuff.

Plus, injectable DHT (stanolone), Proviron, and listener questions on low blood pressure, estrogen and acne, Deca for joint pain, testosterone recovery after PCT, high prolactin, and trenbolone for performance versus muscle growth. And, as always, a few detours with Uncle Dave.
