Episode Description from the Publisher

Big Paul is back with another live anabolic Q&A, covering bodybuilding, contest prep, TRT, bloodwork, diet structure, GLP-1 use, and real-world coaching advice for lifters trying to make smarter progress. In this episode, Paul talks about getting fully back on track after shoulder surgery, locking back into a structured diet with Justin Harris, and realizing just how much protein intake was being underestimated. He also breaks down current bodyweight changes, macros, meal frequency, GLP-1 appetite suppression, and how all of that can affect growth, recovery, and contest prep. 📧 For exclusive inside Information, join The Anabolic Mail List: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/email-list 💪TEAM ANABOLIC BODYBUILDING - Members Only Community: https://www.skool.com/teamanabolicbodybuilding/about 🎓THE SCIENCE OF ANABOLICS E-COURSE - Free Preview https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/the-science-of-anabolics-performance-enhancing-drugs 🗺️ Get The Ultimate Cycle Cheat Sheet: https://www.anabolicbodybuilding.com/cheatsheet FOLLOW: 🤘 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulkbarnett/ 🔈 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PKOCKSDh6ZeaLmVoHF60z 🆇 Formerly Twitter: https://twitter.com/paulb3rd 0:00:00 - Intro 0:01:17 - Big Paul Is Back On A Bodybuilding Diet! 0:02:40 - Paul Was Underrating Protein While On GLPs 0:03:20 - Updates On Paul’s Latest Blood Work 0:04:56 - How Often Should You Cut & Bulk In A Year? 0:09:12 - Thoughts On Switching Primo For EQ 0:11:28 - Thoughts On HGH Only Cycle 0:12:40 - How’s Big Paul As A Coach? 0:14:24 - Workouts Influence Blood Work Results 0:15:27 - How Often Should You Take A Break While Cutting? 0:18:42 - Most People Don’t Know How To Lift 0:20:51 - Can High SHBG Cause Low T Symptoms? 0:22:13 - What Can Cause Low Ferritin 0:25:32 - Rapid Fat Gain After A Cut Is A Diet Issue 0:27:12 - Thought On Women Taking Anavar 0:27:45 - Thoughts On NPP During Contest Prep 0:28:34 - Do You Need To Increase Doses During A Rebound? 0:29:18 - Thoughts On Injectable Pre-Workout 0:30:07 - How Big Paul Approaches A High Carb Day 0:30:57 - Causes Of Insomnia After Starting A Cycle 0:33:08 - How To Introduce HGH As A Type 2 Diabetic 0:34:31 - Can You Measure How Hard You Train With ALT & AST Levels? 0:34:56 - Thoughts On Test Prop, Mast Prop & Tren Ace Blends 0:36:29 - Can Telmisartan Lower HCT? 0:37:19 - Paul Has Seen People Using GLP-3 Have Low B12 & Folate 0:37:52 - GLPs Are Not Great For Putting On Size If You’re Healthy 0:38:30 - Will Mast Lower E2? + Can Finasteride Hinder Hypertrophy? 0:39:16 - Can Jayden Daniel’s Get The Commanders To The Super Bowl? 0:40:45 - Which Is The GLP Least Likely To Blunt Hypertrophy? 0:41:51 - Favorite Physique Not In Bodybuilding 0:43:39 - Can Your Career Affect Your Diet? 0:44:52 - Thoughts On Jayden Daniel’s 0:46:42 - Thoughts On LeBron James 0:48:14 - Can The Peptide Industry Be Forced To Go Underground? 0:51:43 - How To Raise Ferritin 0:52:49 - Can GLP-3 Cause Insomnia? 0:53:37 - Test Dose Where TRT End & Performance Enhancing Start 0:54:01 - Can High E2 Prevent Fat Loss? 0:56:13 - Are Roid Test Kits Accurate? 0:57:10 - PEDs & Diet For Jujutsu 0:58:57 - Do You Need To Be Weary Of Combining Carbs & HGH? 1:00:15 - Should You Lower High Days When Dropping To TRT? 1:01:36 - Peak Doses For A First Cycle 1:02:06 - Thoughts On Liquid Egg Whites As A Protein Source 1:04:15 - What’s Big Paul’s Training  1:05:59 - Thoughts On Ending A Bulk With Tren 1:06:16 - Thoughts On SubQ Injections 1:06:43 - Paul’s Current Diet & PED Protocol 1:09:04 - Do Pasteurized Egg Whites Fully Digest? 1:09:55 - Thoughts On Proviron & Halo 1:10:49 - How Many Carbs Should A Natty Eat? 1:11:59 - Minimum Effective Dose Of Winstrol 1:12:38 - Paul’s Experience With Proviron 1:13:32 - Does Big Paul Have Open Slots For Consults? 1:14:38 - Can T3 Change Body Odor? 1:15:40 - Does Paul Drop Calories & Gear After Ending A Bulk? 1:16:00 - Wrapping Up!
