🏋️♀️ Extended version of this interview: https://www.patreon.com/posts/anabolic-and-150216092 🏋️♀️
How do anabolic androgenic steroids actually work? What do we know from human studies versus animal models? And do steroids alter gene expression in skeletal muscle?
In this episode, Luke Pelton breaks down the science behind anabolic androgenic steroids—separating evidence from speculation—without hype or exaggeration.
Dr. Pelton is an Assistant Professor of Exercise Science and Human Performance Lab Coordinator at Springfield College, where his teaching and research focus on neuromuscular physiology, reproductive endocrinology, and resistance training.
