This is the best panel I’ve ever seen in the community. No drama for clicks, just intelligent conversation. Two thumbs up.
More AJ please. He has me rethinking how I approach things. I get so stuck in a dumb routine. Never taking time to be thankful.
AJ is a sharp guy
Awesome topics today. All I can say is that I’m 68 , feel like a million bucks, sex drive is strong, mindset is solid. Paul has been coaching me for 3 months, set up what I should take for ped’s and I’ve been following his nutritional protocol w/out fail. I look the best I ever have. Thx Paul.
💪
Martin Fitzwater just had a great talk over on the Canadian Beef Podcast. I was surprised how much he spoke on his situation.
I start my first prep in 4 weeks and I got anxiety just listening to this. The mental fall out scares me the most.
It'll be the hardest but the most rewarding thing you'll ever accomplish
A good coach can help you through it
Great podcast with some gems.
Thanks for listening
Feel like guys who contest prep don’t get enough credit. First time dieting for a contest opened my eyes to how insane it is dropping that low of body fat it’s a feat
It's one of the hardest things most people will ever do in their life.
Great show. Thank you.
Amy is super Nice like always! The Flower really looks beautiful on her :))
Big Paul bringing the quality content as always! You guys were phenomenal. Truly an uplifting podcast on top of being as informative as ever! Thank you guys!
Fantastic content & information. Great stuff. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well said gentleman & lady
this was amazing guys, keep it up
Thanks
Thanks for more great content big Paul
My pleasure!!
Big Paul the Future of IFBB@@anabolicbodybuilding
Perfect timing. I start prep monday with Justin Harris. Thanks for this Paul!
One contest prep,,,, hello eating disorders,,, now I just do it for fun ,no probs now
Pauls favorite words to say or use in a sentence
"Contest prep"
It’s top of mind
Fucking sick podcast!! Keep it up Paul!!
Great show Big Paul, really appreciate the content. I struggle with sleep when dieting down, no trouble falling asleep but quality and staying asleep for longer than 4-5 hours is a struggle. Everything else is on point and seems to be going well but feel like I need to bump up sleep to 6-7 at least. Thoughts of naps to top up sleep or no good? Thinking about trying CBD oil see what that does for my sleep?? Any advice here would be greatly appreciated
When I was young and fat I already worshipped women and admired power and muscular bodies. But I was a creep with low self esteem. Now 30 years later I still am that creep with low self esteem, even thou after 25 years of ped use I look different and many women seem to fall into me and my output. My problems seem to ruin my now second marriage, too. I have managed this far and now it is time to get help, too. In Finland we have great work health care and now I have a chance to talk to a shrink. Few years ago I already had hard times. I talked to psychiatrist and he packed it well in my opinion:'using peds causes various mental issues'. We must be objective watching ourselves this said. We must not go body first into all directions. I have children and I want to watch them grow.
Sounds like you are headed in the right direction now.
Alot of times ppl already have the mental health issues and they get into the gym/bodybuilding to make themselves feel better. The gear / contest prep / extreme dieting etc just exacerbates the underlying issues. Just my 2 cents (not that anyone asked). Building the mental fortitude is a part of the game.
That is absolutely true as well. I’ve seen a lot of guys have positive benefits
Bloodwork aside just wanted some bro input im at the peek of my cycle and have about 2 weeks left of running this high dose then wanting to cruise. Im takeing test 400 and test e and deca so 600 test and 300 deca twice a week. I was thinking of going to 800mg test for two week and taper down to 400mg and stay at that for 8-10 weeks. Then to a test and primo cycle thoughts please 😊
great podcast
Thanks for listening
Cheers
I’d put money on the fact, that NONE of the guys talking shhht to Paul online would say the same in person 😂
Not one person has said anything to me in person
Great talk, but the stuff about pharma grade gear and the anti cooking your own gear bit is BS perpetuated by unscientific people who have never done it and don’t understand it. Heavy metals, bad oil, need a pump not a syringe filter, not sterile, it’s ignorant nonsense.
But love the awesome content and great subject. Paul hits the stuff others miss.
Deca really fucks me up, Even 50mg per week, totalt diffrent person.
Love this episode. 19 nors are a complete mind fuck for me. War mode every day. I say I’m not gonna use them again but it’s always here we go again.😂
Me too
Socal media has no chill..
No it doesn’t
In my head im the skinny little guy I was when I started 😢 if anything im a bit overweight now 😅 I only had one point when my anxiety was making me go nutty and it was due to office crush love triangle issues 😂
Maybe just maybe being a hypochondriac saved me from my worst self! 😅
80/20 Rule Paul I was astonished one of these brilliant people didn’t chime in! The 90/10 can be your Rule 😅

Deca fucked with my head always thought my wife was cheating on me buy she wasn't drove me nuts can't take it anymore
I can’t take it anymore
Can’t decide on who looks more miserable. Kurt or Amy lmao
It was my terrible lighting bringing my face down!
