  • Must-listen!

    This podcast goes deep on bodybuilding, fat loss, PEDs and competing. Cory is insanely knowledgeable and she shares the nuances you won’t hear on other podcasts for female competitors. And she has amazing guests. Binge all the episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E. 151 Bodybuilding Q&A: PEDs, Fat Loss Mistakes & Training Tips
Q: Should a bikini athlete using Anavar (anavar) be on TRT during prep, and what about after prep?
TRT can help maintain circulating androgens during a contest prep to preserve muscle, but it isn't universally required; decisions depend on individual testosterone levels, acne, and other comorbidities, with a focus on not overusing TRT during prep and reassessing after.
E. 151 Bodybuilding Q&A: PEDs, Fat Loss Mistakes & Training Tips
Q: What are the risks of using injectable L-carnitine year-round, and is it worth it for most athletes?
Generally safe and not universally necessary; benefits depend on deficiency status and adherence. It's not something the speaker plans to force into cycles, but it remains a valid option for those curious, especially if they are not androgenically inclined.
E. 143 The Truth About GLP-1s, Fat Loss, and Coaching Ethics with Dr. Kyle Gillett
Q: What would be your piece of information for the listener who comes in and is like, I might want to try peptides?
Find someone that you trust, ideally a health care provider, and acknowledge their biases while looking for someone with expertise.
E. 140 Building a Pro Physique: Mindset Shifts, PED Choices & Off-Season Strategy with Torey Braly
Q: How do you approach self-love and body image in your journey?
It's taken me a lot to get here, and I've learned to pour into myself, recognizing that all judgments stem from self-perception and that I need to enjoy the journey.
E. 140 Building a Pro Physique: Mindset Shifts, PED Choices & Off-Season Strategy with Torey Braly
Q: What's the strategy with your upcoming competitive season?
The goal is to qualify for the Olympia while being under a controlled surplus to maximize training efforts and ensure body adaptability throughout the season.
