    Love the show, if I did have one complaint it’s that sound with guests isn’t always very good but that just might be me losing my hearing. Always a five star show. Appreciate it.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Blood Sweat & Gear 368 Building Muscle After 40: Best 4-Day Split for Guys Who Work Hard + Steroid QA
Q: As someone who doesn't really get this aggression, drive in the gym, should I compensate by doing a little bit more volume?
The coaches say not to automatically add sets. They recommend getting more from each set through controlled reps, sufficient effort and consistent progression, while acknowledging that added volume can sometimes make up for less intensity.
Blood Sweat & Gear 368 Building Muscle After 40: Best 4-Day Split for Guys Who Work Hard + Steroid QA
Q: If each of you were building a four day split for someone in my situation, how would you lay it out?
The coaches suggest a flexible three-day rotation, with a fourth workout when work and recovery allow. They recommend scheduling demanding leg or back sessions near days off and considering an arm day because the listener wants to bring up his arms.
Drugs n Stuff 322 Bodybuilder Dies on Stage: What Dave Witnessed + Steroid Q&A
Q: On the mechanisms of action regarding RETA, I've read that its appetite suppression effects is comparatively weak. Is this a real issue with the GLP? If so, do the compound's other mechanisms, GIP and glucagon components still drive fat loss independently of appetite suppression?
They compare retatrutide, semaglutide, and tirzepatide, explaining that the choice depends on a person's needs and that appetite control, side effects, and other effects differ. They stress that GLP medications are aids, not substitutes for learning sustainable eating habits.
Drugs n Stuff 322 Bodybuilder Dies on Stage: What Dave Witnessed + Steroid Q&A
Q: Your wife surprises you in saying that in eight weeks time, you'll finally be doing IVF after waiting two years. Except you're actually ten weeks deep into blasting. Besides a good poker face, what's the plan?
The hosts suggest stopping the cycle and discuss possible medical interventions, including HCG and HMG, while noting that fertility treatment requires a clinician's guidance.
