    Pro bodybuilder Victor Martinez gets real about the steroid side effects that are actually true.
    New year, new you. In the fitness world, that means gyms will get buried with new members. It also means that we will have more young and aspiring bodybuilders pushing their way onto the competition stage. It's inevitable that this drive will bring some athletes to consider steroid use. That's why we're kicking off the new year by talking in-depth about steroid side effects. More specifically, steroid myths that have been perpetuated for decades. Which ones are complete myth? Which ones are true? Which ones are over-exaggerated? In our latest episode of the Generation Iron Podcast, pro bodybuilder Victor Martinez gets honest about which steroid myths are actually true.

      Please ask Victor to throw some insight on nutrition and especially my question is "how much of carbs is just enough to fill in the glycogen stores? Coz while bulking up I dont want to puff myself up with carbs and instead wanna raise my fat intake "..

    I actually enjoy hearing guys talk about the women and their side effects and what their opinions are because you know it gives you inside to what guys think. For Me my voice only deepens when I'm on something it's a little deeper and almost a raspy sound like I'm sick everybody always thinks I'm coming down with a cold but then after I get off for a while it goes away I'm sure my voice don't go back 100% like it was but it does change back closer to normal. I'm sure I'm right there on the edge of one day is not going to go back it's going to stay deep probably people say that it's not possible for your voice to go back but mine always does. But that doesn't mean that this next cycle my voice may not go back and I'm sure one day that's what's going to happen. By the way Vic does look huge..looks pretty good❤

    I don’t know anything about Andre Tate but seriously guys, rape and human trafficking is pretty damn awful and not something you should be trying to excuse. Sure he hasn’t been convicted, that’s up to the courts but don’t sit in a podcast saying that rape is usually something a woman makes up with guys that have money. FFS. Really disappointed to hear this.

    Such a good podcast. I'm, so glad they got Victor Martinez on here. He, really adds first hand content to the show, and I respect that. As, for Andrew Tate, he is a legend in our time. He, tells the world and woman how it is, how it should be and where we should be, and for that he is labeled Masoganistic. How, I don't know. All, I know when influences speak the truth and expose the truth they are ddmonotized, canceled, and or framed, or even death. The charges are trumped up charges. As, history shows. Anyway, respect large to guests, production, and staff. Bless!

    Victor is my favorite. Victor in 2007 for me was the best.

    Muscle tissue doesn’t understand or see the difference of free weights and machines
    Just like when someone saids this exercise is for cutting this one will make you big
    Muscle has one function Doug Brignole has explained this very well Time to be smart training
